The great rise and fall of the Bush Empire is the most disastrous political wreck in history, ranking up there with the folly that was the Nixon generation.
Wars do not work just on the ‘intuition’ or gut feeling of men in power. A war cannot work with such little support from the American public: the people fighting, and funding the war. A president that can’t even fund a war thinks he has the right to order more of our young men and women to fight for a lost cause – this is insane.
When the American people look at their country, they realize that the political environment is anything but stable. With military officials like Gen. James Conway, commander of the Marine forces in Iraq saying “We would fully support, I think, as the Joint Chiefs, the idea of
putting more troops into Iraq if there is a solid military reason for doing that, if there is something to be gained,” speaking with TIME magazine, “We do not believe that just adding numbers for the sake of adding numbers – just thickening the mix – is necessarily the way to
go.”
President Bush has called a surge of up to 23,000 troops to the Middle East in order to quicken his so-called ‘victory’; also trying to cover the fact that his war is going extremely bad with a death toll of over 3,000 soldiers, as well as over 23,000 wounded in battle. The fact
that his impromptu addition of soldiers is rather half-planned and badly timed is just one more testament to the insufficient promises of the Bush Administration.
Although the U.S. commanders of the Iraq war had called for more
troops four years earlier – at the wars beginning, many are now
backpedaling and saying this plan of more troops in the Middle East
will hinder the growth and establishment of the Iraqi guard taking over their own country. I can only see this as another lie in the promises of the Administration, for the reason that this surge will only do more damage than it solves.
No matter what side of the fence you’re on, you will see the fact that the plan of sending 23,000 more troops to an already disable nation will not fix a thing – it will only create more debt and will essentially be political suicide for our country.
I know I’m not the only one that can feel the tension under the skin of the American people, blood boiling and fear rising all at once; and with the proposal of
a bigger deployment of troops only adds to anxiety, creating a large group of angry people that cannot stand lies anymore.
