Bush and Cheney want another extra 100 billion dollars to fund the wars in the Middle East, which will be added onto the deficit. The Congress must vote to give him the money.
We have no business in the Middle East. Bush and Cheney have lied about the reasons, progress and desired outcomes of this war from day one. They continue to lie today. A million Iraqis are dead. Millions more are maimed and millions more displaced. Schools are closed, hospitals are without the facilities and supplies they need to function effectively. Civil law is enforced by death squad. The very old and very young die from lack of public sanitation and potable water. Iraqi youth are trafficked into slavery in foreign lands even as the Americans traffic in foreign slave labor to build their huge permanent bases. Bush and his military minions plan to extend the wars in the Middle East indefinitely, they have plans to expand the scope of the War to Iran, putting us at war with the entire Shiite community of nations. Al-Qaeda, whether a threat to us or not, is entirely Sunni. This war is entirely without rhyme or reason, unless you accept the fact that it is about blood for oil.
The troops and their equipment should be pulled out now. Not another dollar should be authorized for this war. This war was misbegotten. It has had no positive results. It will not get better. We cannot undo the damage we have done.
Some think that Bush and his neocon cabal should be tried for treason. That is not important right now. Now, the important thing is to end this war.
Not another dollar should be authorized for this war.
