Same Song - Next Verse
I can’t even begin to tell you how pissed I am that Bully Bush is getting ready to announce to the American people that he is increasing the number of troops we have in Iraq by maybe as many as 25,000. Somehow we need to stop him. The consensus among his top advisers, both military and civilian, is for a decrease rather than an increase in troop strength. The panel that was commissioned to evaluate his current war strategy, strongly supports deescalation. How can this pompous jerk totally disregard all these opinions?
Few Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein or Iraq was responsible for 9/11. Few Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Few Americans still believe the daily slaughter in Iraq is just the result of an insurgency and not a civil war. Few Americans still believe that Bush went to Iraq just to free the people from an evil dictator and oil profits weren’t involved. Few Americans still believe that the U.S. economy is doing well even as the U.S. dollar is losing world value every day. Few Americans still believe that George W. Bush is a good Christian when all he really cares about is the profits made by the top 1% of Americans. Most Americans believe that Bush started a war that has cost thousands of lives, caused outrageous destruction, and carried a price tag of hundreds of billions of dollars — a war totally based on lies. Somehow we need to stop him.

He is a lame duck. He doesn’t have to listen to his advisors…he doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected. His approval rating could be 0% and he will still do what is in his own interest as we’ve seen over the course of his term. The only way that Washington is going to make a change is if the American people start protesting the war. I mean protesting like the American people did during the Vietnam War. And it was only after that type of intense protesting and years of doing it that the government pulled the troops out. So far we really haven’t seen much protest against the war except a protest of words…we need to take it to the next level and do rallies and marches etc etc.

I should have clarified when I said our rallies should have been like those during the Vietnam war. When I typed it I was thinking about how people made and effort and made an appearance. I wasn’t thinking about the negativity of how some treated our soldiers and turned to violence.
I am sure that we as a society can have rallies that can show our support for our troops and at the same time demand of our government that we as an American People are tired of having our troops involved in a war.
