""I think this speech given by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since the Vietnam war," said Republican Senator Chuck Hagel.What am I greeted with while sipping my morning coffee? The plans of an imbecile. Bush has decided to increase the troops in Iraq by 21, 500.
Senator Richard Durbin said the president was ignoring the advice of the former US commander in Iraq, Gen John Abizaid, that increasing troop numbers would prevent the Iraqis from taking more responsibility for their own future. . ."
That's 43, 000 more parents chewing their fingernails as the see on FOX news that another 5 people have been killed in a car bombing (the average age of a recruit is just 21 years of age, 3 years older than most of us).
Countless wives, husbands, siblings and children waiting for the news of what? No, not that the war in Iraq is over and won. The news that their loved one is gone forever, and for what cause? The war in Iraq is no longer a noble way to die in most people's eyes. They view it as the delusional rantings of a man with a plan gone wrong.
I get so frustrated when I see what this man has done. The only way I don't pull out my hair most days is by chanting "2008, Sarah. He can't be in office past 2008." Lately that hasn't been doing its job.
