Out Of Iraq petition
Thanks to the Downing Street Memos, we now know George Bush's invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based entirely on lies. Iraq had no stockpiles of WMD's or Al Qaeda ties, and Bush knew it. And Bush had no plans to rebuild Iraq after his invasion.

Two years later, Iraq is a bloody quagmire:

U.S. soldier deaths are approaching 2,000, while over 12,000 have been maimed and 17% of combat troops are already suffering from PTSD
At least 22,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed, possibly over 100,000
U.S. taxpayers have been burdened with $200 billion more in debt
Torture approved by the White House has made the world hate us
The war has tripled global terrorism, not reduced it
Military retention and recruitment are down, making America weaker
Because of these huge costs, the American people now oppose the war by 59%-39%. But George Bush stubbornly refuses to discuss a timetable for withdrawal - ignoring a request by 82 Iraqi Members of Parliament!

On Thanksgiving Day 2003, Bush snuck into Iraq to deliver a fake turkey to our troops. On Thanksgiving Day 2005, Bush should end his "turkey" of a war by starting to bring our troops home.

Help us collect 1 million signatures to tell George Bush it's time to get Out Of Iraq.
