Troops coming home?
In the past few days the fight on Capitol Hill has been about the return of American soldiers to American soil by Oct. 1. Most of congress, mainly Democrats, wants it, but Bush is avidly opposing the issue.
He thinks by bringing them home that it will send a losing message to the bad guys. Most of the details are being ironed out in military spending bills.
Bush said he will use all of his power possible to keep a strong military presence overseas. It's too bad he won't wake up and realize we can't win.
The fight is about oil. That's why Israel was created. That's why we continue to have problems with the territory of the world that produces more than the majority of the Earth's oil.
Bush continues to camouflage his intents. We've put a lot of money into the war, but I don't know if the American people can see the results.
All we hear are the stories of Americans that continue to fight, of the Americans that die and the innocent lives lost.
Congress wants to see a valid timetable in place to remove troops. There are stipulations to removing them in a decent manner, but I'm just ready for it to be over with. Our presence in the Middle East continues to prove that not a lot of problems are being solved - either at home or over there.
Of course, I also know that I don't know a lot about this entirely too difficult, heart-tugging subject, so please feel free to chime in.

I'm glad to see you have come to agree that this war in Iraq is a losing proposition.
Too bad you haven't been tracking the votes of Mac Thornberry, who has consistently backed Bush's losing strategy in Iraq.
