Yesterday, President Bush said that our military will not leave Iraq while he is president. This means that the earliest troops will leave Iraq is 2009, and that is only if the newly elected president plans to withdraw the troops immediately. What does this mean?
The U.S. will remain in Iraq for at least another 30 months.
The U.S. could possibly lose another one thousand of our military.
Thousands more of our military will be wounded in the next 30 months.
One billion dollars per month is being spent in Iraq. Therefore, at least another $30 billion will be spent in Iraq.
More and more of our service members will continue to have repeated tours of Iraq.
If the Republicans continue to control the House of Representatives and the Senate, this administration will continue to do whatever they want in Iraq and the world. Our only solution to this fiasco is to elect Democrats to the House and the Senate.
