- Of all the insanity, stupidity and incompetence the Bush
administration foisted onto the American public in the past six years,
the Iraq War will prove the worst lie, the most egregious mistake and the
most calamitous moral crisis ever injected into our civilization. Former
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article2461214.ece>said
this week the Iraq war is over oil. His madness has become our madness.
His insanity proves our insanity.
-
- Why? Because we let Bush continue without a whimper!
No outcries! No mass demonstrations! No marches! Thomas Jefferson said,
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." We failed our founding
fathers!
-
- This war is a crock.
-
- The 'surge' will prove yet another façade of blundering
leaders. General Patraeus obfuscated, denied and misled as directed by
George Bush. We send our kids over there to referee an unending civil war.
-
- The same thing happened in Vietnam. Westmoreland told
the American public another 100,000 troops would defeat the Viet Cong.
Then, another 100,000 would assure success! By the time we got 58,000 kids
killed and 350,000 wounded, we forced 550,000 troops into steaming jungles
of Vietnam at one point in that war. We killed three million Vietnamese
citizens. We poisoned their rivers and jungles with Agent Orange. We dropped
millions of pounds of bombs and wreaked havoc on their children for generations
to come. Vietnam created our own drug culture that exploded during and
after the war to the magnitude it is today. We perpetrated 10 years of
insanity on the people of Vietnam and the world over the outright fraud
of the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution."
-
- The same fraud perpetrated on the U.S. public and Iraq
arrived in the form of George Bush telling the world that Saddam Hussein
possessed "Weapons of Mass Destruction." The U.N. inspectors
proved Bush wrong. They could still be checking for WMD if not for Bush.
If Bush allowed them to keep checking, thousands of lives and billions
of dollars would be saved while moving humanity toward a more positive
future.
-
- History shows Bush as the first U.S. president to attack
a sovereign nation without cause and against international law. Not only
that, Iraq exists 10,000 miles away from the United States. How much more
insane could his twisted mind be?
-
- What are the results of six years of war? Bush destroyed
Iraq's infrastructure. He created three million refugees. He injected depleted
uranium radiation into their country that will create mutations and birth
defects for all living creatures for uncounted years to come. He's fomented
a civil war where stability once existed under Saddam. He injected our
form of government into a country whose Sharia Law worked for them for
1,600 years. He created more terrorists with greater anger and vehemence
against the United States. He created an $800 billion debt for U.S. taxpayers.
While pretending to combat terror over there, he invites terrorists to
enter over here. He leaves our southern border open to a greater invasion
of terrorists packing unknown explosives. He allows millions of Mexican
illegals with their only weapons the shoes on their feet that enable them
to walk across our borders.
-
- Instead of using common sense, Bush forces us into unending
war with slaughtering of more innocents.
-
- Not only does he leave a trail of 3,000 dead U.S. soldiers
and 26,000 horribly wounded, amputated and gutted bodies, he leaves 655,000
Iraqi citizens dead and tens of thousands wounded in hideous ways.
-
- Whereas Bush proves a puppet to Blackwater and Halliburton
corporations, this incompetent president pulls the strings of Patraeus.
Like Westmoreland during Vietnam, our generals and this president keep
dreaming up new slogans for getting our kids killed.
-
- This war proves our civilization's moral, ethical and
rational failure.
-
- I remember my own basic training in the U.S. Army at
Fort Benning, Georgia in 1968. My college roommate got killed that year
in Nam. At night training exercises, I crawled under barbed wires while
bunkers exploded--bouncing me off the ground. Machine gun tracers screamed
four feet over my head. I thought to myself, "I'm gonna get killed
over there. I'm nothing more than cannon fodder. This is beyond stupid."
At the same time, George W. Bush partied on weekends at the National Guard
in Texas and later in Alabama. His daddy made sure young George remained
safe.
-
- In the end, the Vietnam War proved an aberration of insanity
that accomplished nothing but death and mayhem. Johnson proved an incredibly
corrupt man and Nixon resigned. Johnson died a broken man and Nixon languished
until his death. But they left 58,000 men dead. For nothing!
-
- Fast forward: Why has this 21st century Iraq War insanity
continued? Because the American public remains pathetically apathetic!
Because the Army engages only volunteers! They're expendable to a war machine
that possesses no heart or conscience. A few sacrifice their lives while
the rest of us watch TV and NFL football games.
-
- Every time I see our kids walking around with steel legs
and arms, my stomach sickens. Every time I see another story and funeral,
I cry.
-
- One day, we will leave Iraq as we left Vietnam.
-
- Nothing will have been solved. No mission accomplished!
No one will remember the unlived lives of young men and women on both sides.
Human tragedy will continue as Bush destroyed Iraq's civilization. Muslim
terrorists fueled by intense anger toward Bush continue their plotting
in our country with our wide open borders.
-
- Will Bush suffer? If he ever gains an ounce of moral
fiber or a penny's worth of ethical consciousness-he, like Lyndon Baines
Johnson, will live the last days of his life in utter depression for what
he bequeathed on humanity the early part of the 21st century.
