Reply #6: What war? Is there a war? The Bush Junta is illegally OCCUPYING Iraq after

[Peace Patriot]

having illegally and without justification invaded it and slaughtered over 100,000 of its people. But there are no combat operations now. Bush declared them ended. "Mission Accomplished." So, under what law, rule or justification is Bush sending yet more troops into this country?

Bush had no right to be there in the first place. And he has no right to stay there now, and entrench himself with 15 permanent US bases, and send more troops to "defend" these illegal US bases in a foreign land. The whole thing is a house of cards.

I am VERY HAPPY to see Senator Durbin and others look for the way to stop this. SEVENTY PERCENT of the American people want this occupation ended, and our troops brought home. Bush is acting without the consent of the American people, and outside of even a Hitler-like phony legal framework. That is the essential problem here. Bush is a DICTATOR! He has established this in dozens of ways--including his recent "signing statement" that he can open our mail, overturning a bill passed by Congress (added to hundreds of other such signing statements). He is spying on us. He is torturing prisoners, and holding prisoners without trial for years. He has shredded our Constitution. And he is "sending" 30,000 MORE US troops into Iraq as a DICTATOR.

To our representatives in Congress: It's Magna Carta time!
