Return to Article: Democratic leadership wins first major test on Iraq funds
-
22026
"Republicans blasted the bill as a recipe for defeat in Iraq littered with "pork-barrel" funding such as money for Gulf Coast shrimpers, California spinach growers and Georgia peanut farmers."
This is a far better group who should receive our tax dollars than wasting it on trying to impose democracy on a group of people who don't want it, will never use it, nor will ever understand it.
"The president should manage the war".
Well, it's been four years now, and one must ask "does he have a plan on when we can expect him to start"? This has been the worst example of leadership I have ever seen, after 22 years in civil service, and my only source of satisfaction is that the 22nd Amendment will prevent this debacle from continuing. This president has served only the rich and powerful factions in this country, robbing from the poor so that his political cronies can make more and more money, at the cost of young American service personnel, and the future of our young children and their children.
There has to be a limit on this country's meaningless sacrifice, and a time when the Iraqi people are forced to step forward and take control of their own future. How can this president bring this war to an end, when he didn't have a plan going in, hasn't had a plan in the four years this has been going on, and refuses to listen to his own military advisors and places more stock in his political cronies and their ill advised recommendations. This president has not represented my concerns in the six years he has been in office, and it is time for our elected officials to begin to do their job, and force this president to end this war!
