“How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?” Lt. John Kerry, the Winter Soldiers testimony.

"Iraq is in serious danger of coming apart because of lack of planning, underestimating the task and buying into a flawed strategy, the longer we stubbornly resist admitting the mistakes and not altering our approach, the harder it will be to pull this chestnut out of the fire." Gen. Anthony Zinni.

“The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history,” Lt. Gen William Odom.

“The Iraq invasion will be seen as one of the greatest blunders that American Presidents have ever made,” Jimmy Carter.

"There will be no military victory or military solution for Iraq." Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE).

“The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating.” Summary, Iraq Study Group.

“The Iraq Group confirmed that a military solution is not forthcoming no matter how long we stay,’’ Rep. Gwen Moore.

“I thought we would succeed quicker than we did, and I am disappointed by the pace of success.” George W. Bush, in response to the Iraq Study Group report.

It seems no matter what channel on TV you watch, no matter the radio station, or no matter what web site you visit, the war in Iraq has been failing and will fail no matter what course of action is taken. Our dimwitted, stubborn President George W. Bush has stated on MANY occasion, “stay the course”. Why? He refuses the advice of his military brass. Why?
In 1941, Adolf Hitler took control of the German military. After that, the German “war machine” failed even more miserably.




Would you follow a man that cannot remove the caps of binoculars? President Bush is not a “common sense” type of leader. He refuses the idea of withdrawal of troops from Iraq until “the job is done” despite Army and Marine commanders advice. That’s a sign of dictatorship and just plain stupidity. Our involvement there, based on lies, will be a failure also, just like the German military. 

Now that three thousand (3000) American soldiers have died, and tens of thousands wounded, when will we get involved? Do we only become interested when we lose our son, daughter, nephew, or niece? Some sources state that over one hundred thousand (100,000) Iraqi people have been killed. How many more Americans and Iraqis will have to die or be wounded based on a lie, stubbornness, and no-contract corporate greed?

Yes…I am one of those folks that claim that if Gore or Kerry were President, things would be better! Could it possibly be worse? Could the victory in Iraq at this present time be more bleak? At what point do we “cut and run”? At what point will our Congress reinstate the military “draft” to reconstitute the dwindling number of able-bodied troops?

Yes…Osama bin Laden remains uncaptured and not held responsible for his part in the worst crime against the American people. The people who died on 9/11/01 at the World Trade Center are remembered, but not avenged. Isn’t it a pity? Our President is more concerned about a democracy in Iraq than capturing our worst enemy, Osama bin Laden!

Stay the course in Iraq? At whose expense? Remember John Kerry’s words, “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”
