Reply #44: The Iraqi occupation is nothing but a neocon pile of shite

...and Kerry should tell the truth to the American people.

The Bush League lied to Americans to draw them into a mess which they had been planning for a DECADE...

but even so, they were and are so incompetent they failed FROM THE MOMENT THE INVASION BEGAN.

They got rid of the Generals who told the truth about troop numbers needed.

They lied about WMD. They lied about ties to Al-Qaeda.

They lied, and ignored experienced Generals' testimony that invading Iraq would make America and the world more vulnerable to terrorism.

Kerry really disappointed me by agreeing to the IWR. He disappoints me now that he is not telling the American people we need to GET RID OF THE BUSH LEAGUE to make us safer.

Those people who want to blame the messenger should be called out because this isn't just politics. This is about the life and death of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and hundreds, and who knows how many more, of American soldiers' lives.

A war on terror is not fought via conventional means. Until America understands this, by our leaders helping them to understand this, we will continue to do terrible things.

Personally, I think the Bush league should be charged with war crimes and America should totally repudiate this horrific regime.

This can pave the way for some sanity.

If Kerry thinks he can continue to let corporations loot Iraq and that America can continue to keep military bases there...

well, let me just say that I have NEVER voted for any president. Looks like that's the way it will be until someone in this country decides that the American people deserve as much representation as corporations and especially the military-industrial killing for profit machine.
