The reason we're in deep trouble in Iraq is basically because of inept moral leadership which starts with George W Bush which unfortunately has corrupted the entire Cheney/Bush administration . It's Rivero's Rule ~ all organizations and countries will eventually reflect the character and moral integrity of its leaders: Allen L Roland

Here are two articles ( courtesy of CLG News ) which point out why we're in deep trouble in Iraq ~ and why it's all a reflection of the dunce in the White House.

Post-War Suicides May Exceed Combat Deaths, U.S. Says 05 May 2008 The number of suicides among veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may exceed the combat death toll because of inadequate mental health care, the U.S. government's top psychiatric researcher said. The government expects to be spending $59 billion a year to compensate injured warriors in 25 years, up from today's $29 billion, according to internal documents obtained by the Associated Press. And the Veterans Affairs Department concedes the bill could be much higher.

Bush Comment on Food Crisis Brings Anger, Ridicule in India 08 May 2008 A comment by President [sic] Bush about the role of India in the world food crisis has set off a firestorm of criticism in this country. Speaking in St. Louis over the weekend, Bush said that [in India] "middle class is larger than our entire population." But "when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food," he said. "And so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up."

Overnight, Indians reacted with outrage at what they saw as a suggestion that they were to blame for inflation. Politicians lashed out at Bush. Newspapers excoriated him. "India is not a net food importer. It is a food exporter. The assumption that prices are increasing because of a changed India is completely erroneous," said Manish Tewari, a spokesman for the ruling Congress party.
