excerpt:
The ’occupation is counterproductive’ seems a much more accurate assessment. Who said that? Why it was that ’unelectable’ candidate Dennis Kucinch.

Back in June Kucinich said, "The June 30th sovereignty date this resolution discusses is a hoax. " He was certainly correct with that assessment, maybe Dennis is still on the mark today when he says that, "Free and fair elections cannot, and will not, happen under such conditions. The January election can only be a sham."

Why is America accepting this continuing atrocity perptrated in the name of ’our safety’? Clearly the Bush administration is lying about the "important progress on the ground" in Iraq, why can’t the average American see that they are also lying about why we need to stay?

"We can’t cut and run" sounds good, as does "we’re making progress on the ground," but they are clear fabrications. You know when a child gets caught doing a bad thing, they make stuff up so they won’t get in trouble.... it is very clear that’s what the Bush adminstration is doing on very nearly every issue foreign and domestic.

1. Why?

When I leave home, I hear Limbaugh on everybodies radio and Fox on everyones T.V. That's why.

2. Why cant we cut and run?

Reagan did it in Lebanon after our military barracks was blown up.
That was a smart brave thing Reagan did.

3. 'Cause fighting sells a lot of bombs, bullets and airplanes

for one reason.

4. The idea of "losing" Iraq is a presumptuous one because Iraq was

never ours to begin with. This reminds me of another crazy notion in the 50's and 60's of "losing" China floated, as usual, by the Right Wingers at that time, who were fanatically married to the loser Chiang Kai Shek.

On Edit: I am glad the crazies of those days did not get us involved in a war with China. Thank God for small mercies.
