Why do I say this? Because while we are all focusing on ways to get out of Iraq, W and his cronies have shredded the Constitution, and GOP lawmakers will try anything to obfuscate and delay efforts to get our troops out.
What happens in Iraq once the US occupiers leave? Does anyone really think the factions will get along once the US devils leave? What will happen then? No other nations have volunteered to attempt to keep the peace, and we see violence every day.
I just read this over at Common Dreams, and give credit to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, for publishing the article.
http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0205-23.htm

The US lawmakers who voted for the Iraq War launched a war of aggression, while there was plenty of evidence that Iraq could not possibly threaten the US, and while the UN inspectors said they had no weapons capable of attacking the US. And yet some of our shift-in -the wind leaders beleived a bunch of former oil and energy execs over the UN inspectors.
Everyone knew that if the US went to Iraq it would be a quagmire. Whether we like it or not, US forces may be forced to return to Iraq if the chaos spills over into other countries. Thus, W may have launched a generational war which could have worldwide ripple effects. Presently, there are no effects, but that could change anytime. Scared yet?
Do we really want anyone who twisted in the wind to vote for this authorization to be president if we have to institute a draft in five to ten years? Is anyone who did not ask all the tough questions necessary to send our troops off against an imagined threat really worthy to be our next president???
(this includes Hillary, and Edwards, and anyone else who voted for that ill fated measure)
If Iraq does turn into a bigger mess, if other countries in the region get embroiled into conflict with each other, God forbid it does not happen, but you see where this could go? It is, as others have feared, a nightmare waiting to happen.
That is why I say, no to Hillary, no to Edwards, no to anyone who walked lock step in post 9-11 fear of public opinion.
Who cares about if you knew then what you know now, you as Mike Malloy said tonight, "you did something that could hurt the tribe, so we are tossing you out." - and he was only talking about the non-binding resolution to get us out of Iraq.:scared: :scared: :scared: :grr: :grr: :grr:
