You can include:

We, the PEOPLE
ARE
THE DECIDERS!

HERE IN SPIRIT

15. Permanent base position of * behind the fiasco

Building permanent U.S. bases in Iraq sends wrong signal

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/224055_iraqbases.html

""A January 2005 Zogby poll in Iraq found that 82 percent of Sunnis and 69 percent of Shiites favor U.S. withdrawal either immediately or after an elected government is in place. A clear majority of Iraqi voters interviewed in exit polls after the Jan. 30 elections cited their desire to see an end to the military occupation as a major impetus for voting. Building permanent bases directly violates the will of these Iraqis.

The construction of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq also raises serious questions about the footprints our nation is leaving in Iraq. The embassy will be located on 104 acres and will house 1,020 staff and 500 guards. That would make it the world's largest embassy.

More important than its size, however, is its predicted political strength. Commanding nearly $20 billion in reconstruction funds to be doled out and with advisers in every sector of Iraq's government, its bulk would leave no doubt the United States has long-term interests there.""

BTW, the polls also show that these 14 Permanent Bases are the impetus for Iraqis favoring shooting US troops in Iraq ! This permanent presence insistance by Republicans is feeding the insurgency.
