Document gives a glimpse of life in Iraq (sectarian strife increasing)
Edited on Sun Jun-18-06 01:04 PM by ProSense
Snip...

President Bush wants to hand Iraq off to the next president in 2009 so he can escape accountability, plain and simple. We must not lose sight of what's actually important to the Republicans. It's politics, period. Karl Rove is simply trying to provide a political haven for the president's disastrous policies in Iraq. Let's face it, Rove doesn't know a thing about Iraq, let alone military policy. He's just trying to save his boy Bush.

Sitting on his fat backside, Karl Rove is the very embodiment of a chickenhawk. Pathetic partisan pop offs like "cut and run" do not explain how to move forward in Iraq.

I'd like to have Karl respond to this document from Khalilzad, and tell the women and even the men that this is a "democracy." They've still got no power in large sections of the country, wait in lines of gas for 12 hours, face kidnappings, and they do not trust their own security forces. In addition, Iraqis cannot be seen cooperating with Americans. How is staying in this country going to change the situation? As for life outside the Green Zone, it is described as "emotionally draining."

Murtha is right. Bush, Rove and the Republicans have NO PLAN in Iraq. But they have a hell of a slogan aimed straight at the Democrats. If we do not fire salvos back, just as Murtha did today with Russert, we will not inspire people to vote in November. If we don't it will be the biggest political failing since Democrats voted for the Iraq war in the first place.

3. "Stay the Course" of
Chaos, lawlessness, civil war, in other words complete lack of any kind of control over this country by anyone, and our troops are sitting in the middle of it saying, what the hell is going on?

At least if we get out we will eliminate one enemy of Iraq.
