What will Bushco’s excuse be to ignore the Iraqi people?! They are ignoring the will of our own people concerning our extrication from Iraq. Now Iraqi’s are saying get out of our country immediately if not sooner! Fairly soon the world will see the true, ugly face of the NWO/MIC/AIPAC crowd as they thumb their collective noses at the peoples of the world! They are like an evil, mighty dragon that needs St. George to take care of the problem, unfortunately there is no St. George to save the day. The real tragedy is the Congressmen and Senators that “we the people” have sent to D.C. are part of the problem and not the solution concerning our leader’s intransigent occupation of Iraq. The war is a failed paradigm that was waged based on false, cooked intelligence courtesy of the corrupt PNAC, neo-con Feith/Cheney rogue intelligence operation. Their sole intent to steal the Iraqi petroleum reserves, to build bases in that country and to enrich the MIC and the oil-patch, nothing more, nothing less!
If martial law hasn’t been declared by the elections of 2008, then I advise citizens in every state of the union to summarily rip their duly elected traitors that might be up for re-election from office, summarily, and with no questions asked! If the electorate is stupid enough to re-send those elected disappointments back then they are fools indeed, and truly deserve the boots of their NWO controllers on their collective necks. America and the “world” is in harms way with these mattoids in control. Enough is enough…”Impeachment Now”…!

If we set a date for withdrawal the sunnis ans shiites will start making preparations for the full blown civil war that will erupt. That is what will happen. In the meantime, nothing will change as far as the American soldier is concerned.

Things need to change for the American soldier.

As far as civil war in Iraq is concerned, if they’re that inclined, let them have it.

Extended tours of duty and troop surges are likely to create civil war on our soil once again.

Does it really matter if we leave sooner or later? Will the Iraqis not have their civil war whenever we decide to leave?

In a war that should have never been, I think it is time for us to leave. There is nothing else we can do there. There is nothing else there for us to destroy.

I thought that one of our diplomats that got us in to this war stated, that when Iraqis want us to leave, we will. Well, it is obvious that the Iraqi people want us to leave, yet we stay. Why?

OK, so now we have both houses of Congress, the majority of the American People, and hundreds of thousands of Iraquis if not millions of them all telling Bush that the United States is no longer wanted or needed in Iraq. I know he is stupid and greedy and that Cheney is pulling his strings, but what is it going to take to make him and his puppeteer listen?
Apparently the only answer is a Bill of Impeachment, for violating his oath of office, for offences against the Constitution, for refusing to obey the laws of the United States of America. Even those two vile monsters are not above the law, and it is time WE THE PEOPLE stood up and told them so.
We are a nation of diverse indivuals from many parts of the world, but our country is aptly named. We are the UNITED STATES and we are a UNITED PEOPLE–we will not be violated any longer. If Congress will not act then we must take it upon ourselves to begin the processes that made our Nation. The time for Peaceful Revolution may be upon us, and if our representatives will not listen to reasonable men and women, then they must be replaced by people who will.
We must stop the murdering of our young Americans in Iraq by bringing them home out of harms way. Bush and Cheney have killed and maimed over 55,000 of our men and women in their greed–they should be made to pay with a loss of their office and appropriate jail terms. If this were Texas, they would be sentenced to death, and if Bush was the Governor there would be no appeal. We are not so merciless. Let’s try them and them give them what they deserve, but first let us bring our troops home NOW.

Forget Iraq. Some in the military aren’t being honest. It takes about 10 years to develop an army that can fight on its own. What many Americans don’t understand is that military service in most countries like Iraq is like being a pirate. It is a way to become rich and powerful. In addition, no fighting army can exist in a culture of corruption. Forget the Iraqi army. What any elite soldier will tell you is that its is much cheaper and eaiser to arm local villagers to defend themselves and develop a good scouting cadre for amassing credible intelligence. Our hare brains haven’t figured this out yet. I guess they are working for another star.

Seems the injured soldiers are missing. How many have been injured? Their numbers are growing each and every day. The number of Iraqis injured are also growing and they certainly don’t have the medical care and facilities they need to cope. Thousands and thousands are injured. The numbers are staggering.
I read and article a while back and I think the number of soldiers injured as way over 20,000. Don’t quote me on that however. I think that should be seriously looked into on both sides.

I was talking to my Christian Zionist friend today, and I was trying to explain to her that there is no military objective in Iraq. The military is completely useless in this situation. She is of course furious with the democrats for giving all our information to the enemy. When I confronted her with the fact that we don’t really have any idea who our enemy is, she says that that is good, and the government should keep things like that secret, and that we should just trust them.

I explained (and not for the first time) how this war is not even about gas prices, but is simply about the fact that Iraq stopped selling oil in dollars and switched to Euros. I explained how in the 70′s we promised OPEC nations we would not bomb them as long as they only sold oil in dollars, and how changing from this system would bankrupt our economy, and how we’re just trying to make up for being stupid for the past 40 years.

She does not deny any of this, but just says that she trusts that they have good reasons for doing this, and that we might even be the enemy, so they shouldn’t tell us anything, and she went on about how she doesn’t trust the electorate, but she trusts Bush, because he was elected, and so we went around and around for about 5 hours, and nothing sunk in.

If we have a military goal, maybe we should try and accomplish it. But we don’t. So we should leave. NOW. The longer we wait, the weaker our military will become, and the less able we will be to deal with REAL THREATS.

But people still blindly (admittedly blindly) believe in Bush, this war, and everything he stands for. Try asking a Bush supporter what our goal in Iraq is, and they will admit that they don’t want to know the truth, and that we must be enemies to want to know the truth.

I don’t want my government to kill innocent people. ALL Iraqis that have been killed fighting American occupation were fighting for a just cause. And families whose loved ones have been killed in action should remind themselves of this. We need to leave now, and not in a year.

I totally agree with you on your assessments. This is the letter I sent to my congressman this morning.

Dear Congressman ,

I greatly appreciate the work you are doing with respect to deterring Bush’s illegal war of aggression in Iraq. Today I read that bush wants to talk to the Democrats about funding the war without a time table.

It would appear that this president does not understand what government by the people and for the people means. The people want nothing more to do with Bush or his illegal war.

It doesn’t matter in terms of the outcome whether we leave next month or two years from now. The consequences in Iraq will be the same – a blood bath! Bush is guilty of committing the crimes of mass murder and genocide and I pray that some day the world will hold him accountable for these crimes! The fact that America allows this criminal to continue inflicting misery and death on third world countries adds to the disgrace and shame of the United States and its Congressional leaders!

Pulling out sooner than later, may however save the lives of more of our troops. Leaving later, will save bush’s ego, cost the lives of more US troops and guarantee that the next president is left cleaning up his messes. The longer the United States stays in Iraq the more severe the Blow Back will be to Americans and their overseas interests!

Please continue in your efforts to curbe the abuses of power this tin-pot despot is inflicting on America and its tattered Constitution.

Sincerely

Living in the bible belt I have had many barber shop type conversations with Bush supporters. For about a year now, they agree that Iraq is a mistake and hope we get out of there soon. They admit that Bush has not been completely truthful (they will not say he lied) about some things but they feel he must have had a good reason for it.

Most of them are unhappy with the way things are going both overseas and here at home. Not mad or upset, just not happy. When I ask them if they think Bush has done a good job, they are vague with answers that try to excuse him. When I put the question to them directly, “Why do you trust and continue to support Bush?” The answer is exactly the same from almost every single person – “Because he is a born again christian! So,I know he is a good man!”
