 
The Senate wants more dead U.S. troops (as long as they're someone else's kids, of course) |
|
So the U.S. Senate promptly responded by rejecting a proposal to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by year's end. [Read story.]
Huh???!!!
Shame on them!
Before long, the number of dead U.S. troops from this Iraq war will exceed the number of Americans killed in the 9/11 attacks. And, despite what too many people still seem to believe, Iraq didn't even have anything to do with 9/11.
This is gross irresponsibility on the part of our senators.
And this is a hideous misuse of my tax dollars and yours.
Note to the pro-war folks: If this war is so necessary, why are Barb and Jenna Bush not serving on the front lines? Ditto all the 20-something children of all those senators? If this war is so necessary, why are their own kids above it all?
