First I don't have to tell you that this is the first time a U.S. President has ever attacked a country and started a war. As you know, there was never justification to attack Iraq in the first place. now that Bush has his in, in the middle east he will not leave Iraq until he can find his excuse to attack Iran. And he is working real hard to achieve that original goal.
I refuse to believe that a fight to ensure that the right thing is done with our troops in Iraq has boiled down to a cat fight in Congress. Democratic veterans against Republican veterans, Democrats wanting the right thing done for America and our troops and Republican veterans wanting the right thing done for Bush and his plan for new order in Iraq and the middle east. I respect all our veterans including every male member of my family going back to WW 1. However with that said I do not believe any veteran from any war should denigrate that status while trying to argue in the defense of Bush's unprovoked created idiocy in Iraq.
Republicans seeking to defend President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq tapped military veterans among their own ranks to lead the debate Thursday as Democrats relished likely victory in their fight for a resolution opposing Bush's policy.
These people better grow up! This can not go on being treated as another childish political game. Democratic veterans are right in coming forward and insisting on the troops being withdrawn from Bush's failure in Iraq that was a given from day one and nothing will prevent that.
The Republican veterans speaking in favor of keeping our troops in the middle of a civil war is unconscionable. Keeping them there will change nothing and they will follow us home and everywhere else in the world regardless of the childish rhetoric.
The non binding resolution is not just about pacifying our base as Republicans childishly argue. It is all about satisfying their warmongering base. We want the right thing done for our troops, my sons included. that is what it should be about not satisfying Republican egos and whittling down doing the right thing for our troops to a Republican pissing contest disregarding the desires of our troops.
Many of the troops can be seen now saying it is time for them to leaver Iraq. They did their job and I have to agree. I have to tell you, the Republican bullshit that we are dishonoring our troops if we pull out before the job is done id just that. My sons love what they are doing and one is headed willingly back to Iraq in April. However being lied to and treated in a way to disgrace them and our America is more important than saving Bush's little face.
I refuse to believe that Democrats have been reduced to playing the republicans childish games but I hope it works. Something has to!
In a letter to the president on Wednesday, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said, "thousands of the new troops" being sent into Iraq "will apparently not have the armor and equipment they need to perform the mission and reduce the likelihood of casualties."
Demanding that troops meet certain requirements before being sent into harms' way was an idea initiated by Rep. Jack Murtha, the top Democrat on the House committee that oversees military spending.

I refuse to believe that Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker said protective gear for troops in Iraq was not a problem."Obviously, we are not going to put any force into theater that isn't properly trained and equipped," Schoomaker said. I mean what kind of bull shit is that. They have been doing it from day one and they know it yet they still have the nerve to blatantly lie so they can have their way. There is no conscience here and it is sickening.
I am sick of hearing mindless arguments made by Bush followers and ignorant demands made by Bush so he can have his wars and follow his plan for new middle east and order. what about our troops? What about our America they supposedly care about? What about being honest and putting the interests of the country first? The games must stop! If Republicans really care about our America they better start making believe they mean it and get our troops home we they are needed and stop the lies and the games. http://www.cnn.com/...
