Senate Republicans are playing games. Rather than support a troop withdrawal plan
or the Webb bill, they'd rather talk about an advertisement by Moveon.org. This
Republican ploy is called the politics of distraction and they've done it before this.
In order to get attention away from the failing Iraq policies of the Bush administration,
the Republicans had a vote on the Moveon.org ad about the "General Betray Us"
advertisement on the floor of the Senate yesterday.
While the Republicans attempt to divert debate away from ending the war, more
Americans are being killed in Iraq. According to ICasualties, 3794 Americans have
died in Bush's Iraq war. That means 3794 Americans will never again be able to hug
their family members again.
With Americans being killed and wounded every single day, all the Republicans have
to offer is distraction, distraction, distraction.
