Bringing troops home spells victory in Iraq

In his letter, "Democrats see Iraq victory as a problem for their party," Dick Douglas suggests that we are winning in Iraq. The president will say we are winning. He wants the war to continue until the United States has enough power in that part of the world to privatize the oil over there.

Douglas most likely bought all the spin of the truth and the downright lies that started this war. Maybe he will cheer on Bush's pursuit of Iran as well? Naive people believe and follow this cowboy president in his ambitions to manage the world for the benefit of a few powerful U.S. corporations.

In the meantime, we are losing more troops every day and our beloved country is becoming a debtor nation and a nation in which its citizens have lost many of their civil rights under the Bush agenda of war and the egregious "Patriot Act."

The Democrats see Iraq victory as bringing our troops home now.

Douglas, like other conservatives, has to blame someone other than the President for all the costs, corruption and loss of life this war has wrought. While the answer is obvious to 3/4th's of America, it is still a mystery to the one in four, who believe we have to "fight them there, so we don't have to fight them here".

The "Kooks" have come home to roost in the Party of Lincoln. They are the "family values" conservatives who bash gay people while trolling for homosexual trysts in airport bathrooms. They are the "family values" Republicans, who are caught soliciting prostitution. They are the "family values" conservatives who lead two separate and divergent lives.

Yes, to them, we are "WINNING" in Iraq!

The Gop has been stolen by the fringe radicals like Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard, Coy Privette, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and even our own little kitty kat, "neocon".
It seems that Ahhnold "gets it" out in Cal-eee-forrr-nia. Problem is, he is whistling in the wind! What a joke!

The GOP will be the regional party of Gay Bashers, Public Prayer proponents, and military "wack jobs" within just a few more years.


Looks like the late night comedians will have plenty of material for the years to come!!
