According to the Guardian----
President George Bush yesterday led a small army of administration officials in trying to turn around almost total opposition to his plan for Iraq, and head off a showdown with Congress that carries echoes of the Vietnam era.....
How do you try to sell a failed policy? How do convince mothers, fathers, spouses, brothers, sisters, and children to send their loved ones to a war without a plan and without an end? When will we have enough troops in Iraq to win a war for which the president cannot define its purpose? We were lied to about the reasons for the war and the lies continue. How many more lies will we hear from this administration? How many more of our troops will have to die for this unnecessary war? When will Bush decide to send troops into Syria and Iraq? How many more of our military leaders will be forced to resign because they do not agree with this president?
I was checking out some of the military blogs and I found this one --- Lumberjack in a Desert. This American service member has a blog but there were no updates for a period of a couple weeks. He was wounded by an IED in Iraq. Part of his right arm was amputated and he lost part of his left hand. This young man's story is the reality of war and we cannot forget it.
Call/e-mail your members of Congress/Senate and tell them it is time to bring our troops home.
