 Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 9:09 am Post subject: THE TRUE SHAME OF THE IRAQ WAR |
  |
|
What is being done to our troops in Iraq is more than a failure of political leadership; it is an outrage. Forget the fact that we never declared war, or that we never had a real plan about what to do in Iraq, or that we are fighting on credit, leaving the bills for our children and grandchildren. Remember that only a small number are involved in this -- the same people, professionals and reservists, are being called back into harm's way again and again.
Those young men and women, serving a government without the guts to even talk about a draft, are essentially indentured servants. Worse. At least indentured servants knew when their obligation would be over. This is more than unfair; it is shameful, a stain on the democracy and its leaders. And now the president is considering depriving them of a reward they deserve because some of them might actually take it and not re-enlist.

Why Bush hasn't been assassinated is beyond me.

Because Dick Cheney would be President... and all of the smiles of the world's children would vanish.

Why would any enemies of the US want him gone?
If anyone assassinates him it'll be from the US...
