If We Are Winning the War in Iraq…
The Bush Administration has been playing the big lie game for quite a while, promising that we are winning the war but the truth of the matter lies in where the President was on Thanksgiving Day. He was properly in the safety of Camp David, where he placed calls to ten servicemen and women to thank them for their service. He wasn’t in Baghdad, as the city is too dangerous for him to visit and is too dangerous for anyone to live.
The situation in Iraq deteriorated so badly this year that President Bush could not make another holiday visit to our troops.
This war has evolved into a civil war between rival factions and U. S. troops need to be pulled out of the way so the idiots can kill each other, not Americans.
We are told that if we leave, the terrorists will pursue us but the same people who say that fail to secure our national borders or to inspect shipments by sea coming into this country.
There is no doubt that Saddam had to go, but as soon as he was gone, we should have turned the place over to the Iraqis and let them sort out where they wanted to be after the dictator was removed.
Our military has failed to win the war in Iraq, not that our troops haven’t tried and died.
Military failures must be laid at the feet of military leaders and their civilian masters.
No one has handicapped or prevented our war cabinet from carrying out this war, without a win they deserve no credit, with a loss, they deserve the blame.
It is time for us to win or get out. Apparently our leaders lack the brains to win but continue to leave our troops in harms way to die.
The American people spoke loud and clear on Election Day, but President George Bush isn’t listening.
