Bush, Iraq, and Now Iran

President Bush continues to say the same stuff over and and over again about Iraq to the American people. Unfortunately, Americans have just turned him off because they've heard him repeat his same message before and we're no longer interested in his ridiculous "stay the course" routine. Even if he calls it something else, it is still "stay the course."

Iran: Now Bush and the Pentagon have drawn up plans to attack Iran. It doesn't matter to Bush that our military is stretched to the breaking point. It doesn't matter to Bush that our men and women in uniform are enduring their 3rd and 4th tours of duty. It doesn't matter to Bush that families are putting up with incredible demands and pressures because of separation and stress. It doesn't matter to Bush that the American people are tired of the lies, the debt, and the overall course of our nation.

Now President Bush plans to move onto Iran. Times Online:

THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said....

......One Washington source said the “temperature was rising” inside the administration. Bush was “sending a message to a number of audiences”, he said � to the Iranians and to members of the United Nations security council who are trying to weaken a tough third resolution on sanctions against Iran for flouting a UN ban on uranium enrichment....

Doesn't that just make you feel awful? We need to put pressure on the House of Representatives and the Senate and tell our elected officials to stop this war madness.
