Invading Iraq was “the greatest strategic
disaster in United States history.”
-Henry Kissinger
"There is no chance that our allies will join us in Iraq," he wrote. "... Iraq is the worst place to fight a battle for regional stability. Whose interests were best served by the U.S. invasion of Iraq in the first place? It turns out that Iran and al-Qaida benefited the most, and that continues to be true every day U.S. forces remain there."
-Retired three star Lt. Gen. William Odom, one of the most respected U.S.
military analysts and a prominent figure at the conservative Hudson Institute in Washington,
US Cost Of War So Far: $204.4B... Allied Troops Killed: 2,339... US Troops Wounded: 15,955... Number Of Journalists Killed: 66... Average Monthly Salary Of An Iraqi Soldier: $343... Number Of Daily Attacks Last Month: 90... Number Of WMD's Found: 0...
This mission has not been accomplished. It was doomed from the start.Let's be TOTALLY HONEST folks. It's REALITY time now. We've watched the society slowly erode since this man was "elected" emperor, and the press has finally awakened to the Karl Rove BS that has been eminating from the GOP for the last five years. The recent natural diasaters and the Iraq-Nam war has finally got the citizens attention. Not to mention the sky-high gas prices! We now have in the highest office in the land a man who is a walking antithesis to the demands of the time. He doesn’t communicate. Delegate and disappear is his leadership style. We wait for him to snap out of it, to explain the war or the plan, but he can’t stop sneering, patronizing, demeaning, or taking delight in the mere completion of a speech. He loves the trappings of power, the multiple flags, and the nodding uniformed legions standing expressionless at his back. It’s a stage set for substance -- a moment in time when another type of leader might reach out. To those who think the bully-boy approach is the only way to survive in this world, let me remind you that the BEST route to security is to surround yourself with friends. On 9/12 we really WERE surrounded with friends. To have squandered THAT is the best reason to believe that this country is being run by utterly mad fools.
Polls show that Mr. Bush is regarded by the public and historians alike as by far the worst leader in American history. His name is cursed globally because his Administration accelerated the global warming and other biospheric problems which have in recent decades killed so many millions, impoverished so many tens of millions more, led to the disappearance of numerous coastal regions and much of Bangladesh, and caused mass migrations and diseases on a scale never before seen in human history.
And he is hated in his own country for having amassed a huge government debt which Americans today are still repaying, and for his wrong-headed intervention in Iraq - which fatally weakened the U.S. military, needlessly killed thousands of young Americans, and vastly increased the Muslim terrorism which has killed hundreds of thousands of American citizens. Historians date the decline of America to Mr. Bush's Administration (2000-2008).
So, what do we do now with the mess in Washington? Clean house. Sweep out all the losers and get some real men in leadership. JFK once said, "a government is only as effective as it's ability to take care of it's weakest citizens". Bush showed how much he cared when the people of New Orleans waited for five days and pleaded for help. I used to live in the United States of America. Now I live in a “homeland” The end of the Bush era begins now.
