Such a pity.

It’s a dirty, rotten war. A shame on America. And I’m blaming George Bush and his political cronies for getting us into it. They lied to get us into Iraq. And they keep lying to keep us in. George Bush said we’d be out when the initial mission was accomplished. To rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein. Less than a year after the war was started, Bush got on an aircraft carrier to announce mission accomplished. Yet, we are into the 6th year of what seems more and more like an endless war. A war expected to cost at least $3 trillion. And more and more senseless death of Americans and Iraqis. Doesn’t make any sense at all. Absolutely obscene. George Bush says it’s intended to combat the threat of terrorism. But Iraq never posed any problems in that regard. It wasn’t Iraq that was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York. Anyway, with virtually every speech, Bush finds a new reason for staying in Iraq. But seems to me the main underlying reason is to salve George Bush’s ego. He doesn’t want to admit that the war was a big, big mistake. Which means, we’ll have more and more deaths. Wasted lives. Such a pity. –Jim Broede
