No Bush Bashing Here
Topic: Politics/Nation
I was talking to a friend this weekend, after seeing This Week with George S., and the graphic that I look for regarding the number of Americans who died in Iraq this week. The number was 30, with 22 of the names released. As I've mentioned previously, this weekly graphic gives me a quick, quantitative analysis of the week in terms of lives lost; sometimes (rarely) it is only one column. This week it was 3 columns, and they had to make the font small to get all of the names to fit.

Then, we all heard the news of the reservists who refused to go on a mission because they said it was a suicide mission, due to lack of protection and back up.

I have a real problem with us going to war in Iraq. When we asked for a definitive plan, with a budget and a timetable, Bush tossed WMD on the table as a trump card. America fell in line.

But there were no WMD. And no plan. And the cost!! - well, maybe that's why we couldn't do a budget before hand - because if we had known how much it would cost, in dollars or in lives, we might not have fell in line.

Many will say I'm Bush-bashing. But it wouldn't matter to me what your name is. If you took us to war, under fear of nuclear attack, and then it turned out we were not under nuclear threat at all, and young men and women are dieing for this b.s. every day - it doesn't matter who you are, or who is running against you - even Bozo.
