WAR . . . WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR ?!?
Today is the third anniversary of our invasion into Iraq. What have we accomplished thus far? Let's see:
1. The President succeeded in making himself look like a self serving douche bag by convincing the public that the invasion was necessary due to Saddam Hussein's ties to terroristic activities and his build up of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Neither was proven.
2. He has succeeded in sending some 2,300 young men and women to their deaths due to this unwarranted war.
3. Congress has estimated that by the "end" of said war it will have cost the U.S. tax payers over $500 BILLION dollars.
4. G.W. can now brag to his friends that he did something his daddy didn't do.
Iraq has become a proving ground and base of operations for many different terrorist groups. They view this as their opportunity to perform a jihad against a superpower on their own soil. Iraqis in general are tiring of our occupation of their country. Yet, your president continues to say, with resolve, that we will "win" this war and bring democracy to the middle east and they will be better for it.
In certain cases you have to realize that some people don't want help. We are fighting a losing battle over their with no clear concept or strategy of just how to "win" this war and save face. In fact, we have turned their country upside down and mixed around so that they are now in a civil war. One that we helped to create. Saddam Hussein, as bad and immoral as he was, was the only person to keep Iraq from this turmoil and keep Iran in it's place. We succeeded in chopping the head off and now each part of the body is fighting for control.
Roadside bombings, ambushes, etc., have become so common place that they are rarely even reported by the media any longer. We cannot become numb to the situation. Don't let the president brain wash you with his speeches of victory on the horizon. We need to contact our local representatives and YELL for them to create an exit strategy and end this war. As we start the forth year of this conflict it's time to make waves and get some action from congress.
And That's What I Think.
