What this mission is, and how we will know when it is done, has become rather fuzzy. President Bush 's simple-minded plan: "As the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down. " is just not good enough any longer. It has been three years, and at last count, there was not one Iraqi unit considered capable of operating on their own. The predicted "cake walk " in Iraq became "a long hard slog ", and now our neoconservative masters are calling it the opening act of what they have dubbed "the Long War ".
They can 't even figure out how to get our troops out of Iraq, but they are already threatening to start a war with Iran, or Syria, or some other evildoer. My question is "Who do they think is going to fight all these wars? " Are they going to stop Luanne 's son from getting out of the Marines and send him back to fight for a fourth time, a fifth time, a sixth time; and then what?
It is time to say "Enough! " It is time for Americans to turn off the so-called reality shows --like Survivor, and start paying attention to the real life and death survivor show that is playing every day in Iraq.
This is our country. They are our troops. It is our government. It is time to tell your representatives in Congress that the Bush Administration 's insane plan to dominate the world is not worth one more American life, or limb, or drop of blood. Tell them, "It is time to bring our troops home! "
