The Struggle in Iraq

The situation in Iraq has no easy solutions. Our troops are doing an outstanding job in battling insurgent forces. But the administration's misconceived and badly executed strategies have been turning Iraq into a worldwide haven for terrorists and endangering hope for a stable democracy to emerge.

We now know that the Bush administration's rationale for its rush to war was horribly flawed. The supposedly imminent threat posed by the Hussein regime's possession of weapons of mass destruction did not exist. And it has become evident that the administration did not have a real plan for keeping the peace after our military's rout of Hussein and his military forces. Thus our soldiers have suffered more loss of life and limb from terrorist guerilla warfare after the toppling of Hussein's dictatorial regime.

Too many Washington politicians continue to shirk their duty to press the hard and necessary questions about our involvement in Iraq. Bob Casey will push for a clear exit strategy and real plans for the Iraqi forces to take care of their own security, and development of a government structure that is widely seen as legitimate among Iraq's various ethnic groups. This year should be a year of transition for the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own security and governance.

Call me silly, but it sounds like Bob Casey wants out of Iraq. He says right there on his website that the war was started on lies and that we need to get out of Iraq. I hope that Bob Casey is talking with another 'Casey Democrat' (that term was coined based on Bob's father and the western democrats) John Murtha. I think Murtha could provide amazing guidance for Bob's policy about the war.

Those 3 paragraphs have helped me realize that Bob is the best choice for senator and clearly a better choice than Rick Santorum. I hope that for those of you who feel you can't vote for Casey because of his history of pro-life (started by his father who was virulently anti-choice) can consider him now because I think that he definitely support getting our troops out of Iraq.
