7, September 2006 IRAQ – staggering
violence
President Bush wants us to “stay the
course” and not to “cut and run”. It is a pity Bush and his neo-con paper
warriors failed to walk the walk and serve their country by seeking deferment
from the killing fields of Vietnam. Yes, Bush did serve in the National Guard
but did ‘cut and run’ under mysterious circumstances going AWOL for about 12
months. I sincerely hope the enlightened
American public will ‘stay the course’ and remove this dangerous man before he
is allowed to do more harm to the world. He has brought dishonor and shame to
our nation by dragging us into a sinking quagmire based on a mountain of lies
and deceptions which has resulted in enormous loss of life and has drained the
US treasury of billions of U.S. dollars.
Pentagon conservative estimates of
Iraqi fatalities are a staggering 8,000 per week. This would be equivalent to
80,000 fatalities in the U.S. which has a population 10 times that of Iraq. It
is high time we abort the ‘Iraq mission’ and not wait a day longer for the
‘birth pangs of a new democracy’ to unfold.
New proposals
by this administration to partition Iraq will inevitably lead to an escalation
of more violence and a frenzy of ethnic cleansing that our ill-advised
occupation helped to create.
