The actual result of this supposedly "successful" surge, given its effect on Iraqi life, is an increase in hatred for the U.S. and its troops. . .
Which naturally results in more "insurgents".
Which, as I see it, gives those-who-profit-from-war more reason to keep it going.
Hence, just last month, as McCain called for a 100 year war, Mr. Bush found military service to be "exciting" and "romantic", Mr. Cheney uttered his infamous "So?" regarding the opinions of Americans, and Iraq and Afghanistan War Vets testified about atrocities at "The Winter Soldier" conference, the Pentagon called for a delay in troop withdrawal in Iraq.
Sickening, eh?
That is why now is the time to take action and ask questions.
You, too, can contact Congressman Wexler contact@wexlerforcongress.com).
And any other Congressman, Senator, journalist, and/or Presidential candidate you want.
Read the reports -- and/or tell them you know about them. And demand accountability -- from both the General -- and those who should be asking questions.
These are my questions, to date:
1. What has been the effect of the increased use of aerial attack helicopters and aerial bombing on the lives of innocent Iraqi civilians?
2. Why does the U.S. military not provide the numbers on Iraqis killed by U.S. troops?
3. In terms of the international law established by the Geneva and Hague Conventions, what do you understand to be the responsibility of the United States military in Iraq regarding its civilians?
You, too, have a right -- no, now that you know more, you have a responsibility to ASK.
