Democracts Rub Dick The Wrong Way

Ok, before you get up at arms about the title, I am talking about Dick Cheney. Now pull those minds out of the gutter.

Well America, unless you were one of the few Van Winkles who slept through the past few days, you know that the Democratic Congress has voted to limit the war effort in Iraq. This is the first time in many years that our Congress has actually done something that made a great deal of sense.

America has wasted so much money, and lost too many troops to an endeavor that has no clearly defined exit strategy. Bush has tauted the "Stay The Course" message for years, but the course is no more clearer now than it was 5 years ago. Now we have Dick Cheney trying to paint Congress as unpatriotic because the vote was in favor of getting our men and women the heck out of the fire.

Cheney stands on the grounds that we need to be sure that the mission is complete. What is the mission? Has either Bush, Cheney, or Rice clearly defined what the mission is? Unless I misheard, I would have sworn that Bush stated America would not occupy the nation of Iraq. Well that statement was made in 2003, and to this date we still have forces in Iraq. It does not take Websters to define our actions as occupation. Trouble is, Bush still has yet to clearly justify our continued involvement in Iraq. Yes, realize he is hiding behind the banner of we are building the Iraqi Military/Police force, but with the time and effort we have expended thus far, the Iraqi military ought to be as credible as the British Military by now.

Again, I pose the question, what is the mission? What are we aiming to accomplish? Has anyone else read the news lately? The United States Nations (oh sorry, United Nations) is saying that Iran is now in violation of a resolution prohibiting the enrichment of uranium. Sound familiar? It should, it is the same dog gone swan song Bush used in 2003 to justify invading Iraq. Oh, I forgot, most of you were most likely asleep at the time. Wake up America. The mission that the White House is tap dancing around is the positioning of our troops for an invasion of Iran. Just like Michael Moore predicted in the movie that most of America said is a lie. Go rent a copy and watch it, see if it is not true.

We are the smartest nation in the world, but most of us are so easily fooled by a smooth talking moron. Wake up America! As for the Democrats, Way To Go. I think Congress did an awesome job. Force the White House to do the right thing, follow the lead of the British, and pull our forces out. If Dick Cheney wants that Natural Gas Pipeline so badly, let him is G W go over and build the darned thing. Bring our troops home, NOW!
