It's time to hold the BFEE accountable for the Iraq quagmire

[Hawkeye-X]

It's time for people to begin calling their Repuke/Dem senators/Congresspeople and remind them that you are the ones that voted for (or against them) and it's time to introduce an Articles of Impeachment for Whistle Ass' failures and need to begin so immediately and also remove the entire maladministration since they are all responsible for the quagmire.

They are NOT beholden to special interests because they don't vote for them, and the community of America is growing weary of the lies that * has continually maintained. Show the fucks the polls pointing out that *'s popularity is downhill and they CERTAINLY do not want to be associated with *.

My prediction is if the Repukes continue to kiss ass with *, then they are on the outs as well, no matter how Repukelican their states/communies are. * and the Congress created this mess, they can go clean it up, or get out.

1. Iraq is not Quagmire-It's a Black Hole

But media reports the last week in August
have made it very clear that the administration
has plunged the U.S. over the lip--what is called
the "event horizon"--of the human and financial
black hole that is post-war Iraq. The significance
of passing the
astronomical event horizon is that whatever crosses
it, even light, cannot recover or be recovered. It
is a one-way trip down a "tunnel" at whose
end there is no light, only crushing gravity.-Col. Dan Smith

2. LBJ's 1968 Address to the Nation

I believe that a peaceful Asia is far nearer to
reality because of what America has done in
Vietnam. I believe that the men who endure the
dangers of battle--fighting there for us tonight--
are helping the entire world avoid far greater
conflicts, far wider wars, far more destruction,
than this one.

The peace that will bring them home someday
will come. Tonight I have offered the first in what I
hope will be a series of mutual moves toward peace.

3. Iraq knows now that US will be sending no more Soldiers

Now that the United States has apparently decided
troop levels in Iraq will not be raised, and U.S. troops
there will begin to be withdrawn, the initiative passes
to the enemy. We cannot cut and run. We have to
endure whatever bleeding he imposes.

But if the current level of casualties continues for
the next year, or Iraq appears about to collapse
into chaos and civil war as we pull out, Bush could
face a situation at home similar to what LBJ faced
in 1968

4. I thought the very same thing this morning.

He'll decline to run again...retreat to Texas...and be taken care of for the rest of his lousy life by his friends and the US taxpayers. Not a bad reward for a complete bloody failure!

5. Yes!

And don't be gulled for a second that this situation "just happened" or that "nobody could have foreseen" that it would deteriorate so badly. These are two of the neocon-jobs that they depend on so heavily. Oh, we're in a huge recession with a mounting deficit? Just happened. You can't possibly blame the Bush economic program of shoveling the treasury into the pockets of the über-rich!

Iraq? Sure, it looks bad now, but how was anyone to know that this would happen? And it's not as bad as everyone says it is. Lots and lots of areas of the country (okay, trackless desert areas though they may be) are completely peaceful, and nobody's fighting there!

This quagmire was planned, nurtured, tended very carefully, and grew with intent, purpose and all deliberation. Its authors should face the American people for creating it.
