The Toll - 9/17/06

You know when there is a war people get killed on all sides....!

Actually this isn't war as Congress hasn't declared a formal declaration of War Act. This is Bush War for oil profits and haliburton. This is a illegal war and profitering for his cronies.

So far, our losses are very light compared to WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. The dollars involved have likewise been miniscule.

These are the prices we must pay and continue to pay to retain our freedom.

Has anyone taken the time to count up the lives lost in the previous efforts to stop Islam from taking over the world?

George W. Bush needs to get his ass kicked!!!

Our President frames this as a war for the existence of civillization.

But why such a meager effort - just 135,00 or so troops in Iraq.

No military draft to build up our armed forces to so Iran and Korea would not be quite so ready to take advantage of the fact our military is streched too thin to deal with them.

And no genuine mobilization of the home front. Not even gas rationing so we could stop sending billions of dollars to those who fund the Islamic Schools that foment hatred of the West.

WWII was an all out effort. This war of choice is not.

The problem is, that our President has been and continues to be so inept in the prosecution of this war that there are fewer and fewer reasonable options left to us.

Clearly, the current administration does not believe its own rhetoric about the war. The real shame is, that they will, if allowed to continue their dismal performance, they may well invite World War III.



Let's hope by then we have a new administration with real leadership qualities.

Again, if anyone is interested, there's some interesting information if you google PNAC and check out the Wikipedia analysis. The Iraq war was decided by the members of the PNAC long before it was actually started. Fourteen of these members were recruited into the Bush Administration.

Sad, so sad.
