The overarching issue is, Bush’s perception of
protecting “American interests” vs. the American
peoples perception of “American interests”…

The American people care deeply about the safety
and well being of our military, first and foremost.

Mr. Bush is using the military to promote his
personal agenda and protecting corporate interests in Centrasia while the American people
pay the price in human lives and an unsustainable drain on the economy.

Mr. Bush took his nation to war based on false
pretenses, conquered a nation with much loss of
life, both military and civilian, and vows to
“stay the course”….when in reality the country
(Iraq) has conquered him

Must America go down with him…?

To secure Iraq would require a massive commitment of U.S. forces, something that cannot happen without a draft. The only alternative is a pullout of our troops. Many Iraqis who have collaborated with us might have to be airlifted to the U.S. Left to their own devices, many think that the peoples of Iraq will work out their own destiny. Perhaps knowing that a foreign power is not controlling their oil, and therefore the country’s wealth, will enable them to work together for their nation’s benefit.

It would seem that the lessons of Byzantium are lost due to the fact that our leaders can’t read history. Reinventing history to coincide with your belief system is a far cry from reality, even if George says it is so. Buying armies only drains the treasury and allows the enemy to gain access to your innards>
Casey is a solider and as such wants to protect his troops, all of them. to think that he plays into the Bush speak is not only incorrect but a reach. If he were that easy he would use the script which he did not he spoke as a leader and was slapped because Bush didn’t see it coming just like Joe Wilson. Bush s sure to pay in Hell for his sins although he has probably already been assured a special place there. After all he does have the right connections.

The American Revolution is a living and noble cause. The Bush Administration is truly anti-American

From the NYT piece “Yet it is hard to discern who authorized this particular outsourcing as military policy. No open policy debate took place; no executive order was publicly issued.”

Sounds about right. Thanks for an excellent piece on your part as well.

I completely agree. My husband is in the U.S Army National guard. He has been gone for almost eight months and won’t return home until June of 2006. That is a total of 18 months. The first 6 months was training in a different state of the country. We have 2 small children and he is missing their major milestones. And for what? He has been in Iraq for almost 2 months and he doesn’t see the point and neither do I. Luckily he is in an area that doesn’t have a lot of “action” but that just makes it that much worse. He doesn’t feel the need to be there. I just wish he could come home.
