"A New Way Forward" for Iraq and America

Bush Iraq Update May Be After New Year
By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent

"Slow and inadequate action is a problem that we have been facing with this government since it was formed," al-Hashemi said Monday in an interview with Baghdad TV, the mouthpiece of his Iraqi Islamic Party.

Was he talking about our Republican controlled congress and white house or the puppet regime that has at best a tenuous control of the green zone in Baghdad?

I don’t get it. Bush has had enough time to figure out what his own people think about Iraq. He is claiming to take into account all opinions, that is of course but the American peoples, and most of the opinions he has been getting is just cover so he can ignore the Iraq Study Group report.

1) The State Department-Bush appointees.
2) The Pentagon- Generals who know what will happen if they disagree, and would never admit a job can not be done.
3) Special White House assessment- Are you kidding me?
4) Civilian leadership at the Pentagon- Rummy and Gates get together
5) Semi-bipartisan Iraq Study Group report

Let’s see 4 out of 5 opinions are his and Cheney’s bitches and the fifth is basically Daddy’s and Democrats ideas which we know will be ignored, and now he wants to delay his decision on this until sometime after the New Year. It may already be too late to stop or even contain the civil war and around 5 American personnel and 100 Iraqis are dieing every day and he wants to think about it. This moron still thinks history will vindicate him and stay the course is the correct option. He think Americans are nothing but stupid sheep that do not deserve to be heard but instead should be manipulated with words.

I for one can not wait until the Democrats take control of the House and Senate so investigations can get started and the subpoenas can start to go out. I know politically we have been told that Americans do not want to go through an impeachment but if the shoe fits. If we can impeach someone for lying about getting a blow job in the oval office then impeachment for lying America into a war and continuing the lie for profits sake should be a viable option and we owe it to future generations to do what is right.

We owe it to future generations to not allow a President to trample on the Constitution without consequences. We owe it to every American soldier that has died because of this administrations cavalier attitude about post war Iraq. Our President and Vice President deserve to be impeached not only once but 2,932 times and counting. They deserve to be impeached for ignoring intelligence prior to 9/11. They deserve to be impeached for mortgaging our children’s future to give the wealthy tax breaks. Impeachment is going to have to be the final conclusion but will America stand up and demand it from our new congress. If they do not then congress will not.

Too Late?!?

I fear the American people have awoken to late to the realities that our current Republican controlled government has ruined our country.

I fear that in the last 2 years we have passed a point in Iraq where we can no longer even come up with any type of meaningful victory or even leave with a real government or ally in place.

I fear that Bush's war instead of weakening his "Axis" has only emboldened it and definitely made them much stronger and also made the real evil ones stronger.

I fear that we are too stupid to realize that you can not defeat radicals; your only option is containment. You can never kill them all and even if you did, how would you know. The thought that you could leads to never ending war which is where we are.

I fear for the soldiers dieing in vain in the middle of a civil war created by a stubborn, lying, son-of-a-bitch, wannabe cowboy trying to prove he is more of a man than his father.

I fear the Democrats are going to play politics for the next 2 years and try and protect their brittle majority in the Senate and take back the White House, instead of getting our boys out of harms way.

I fear that they will not take on the corporate welfare policies that weaken our nation and have eroded our middle class because they need the money to run proper campaigns in '08.

I fear America has become entrenched in a constant campaign cycle and nothing meaningful will get done on the Federal level for many years.

I fear global warming and the world we are leaving to our children and grandchildren.

I fear the looming economic crisis that America faces because of politicians unwilling to tell their constituents "NO"!

I fear current campaign tactics have left too many great candidates sitting on the sidelines unwilling to put their necks on the line or unable to raise the money to even be heard.

I fear real Americans are too busy trying to hold onto their lives to follow anything our government is doing.

I fear that America's 30 second, 2 year old type attention span is killing us and those of us who are thoughtful and actually try and follow the stories are wasting our time.

I fear we are going to lose in Afghanistan as well, because of Iraq. (if we haven't already)

I fear corporations will keep us from getting our own house in order ever again.

I fear globalization and extreme profit driven business will forever leave America unable to compete.

I fear No child Left Behind is dragging down our brightest children.

I fear the unhealthy lifestyle we live is making us weak and the sick care system we live under just promotes it.

I fear the future but will keep fighting for a brighter one.
