As the Iraq war continues to drag on, I am continually dumbfunded at how few Americans really understand how much of a sham this war continues to be.
The President has said that "the war in Iraq is the calling of this generation" (scroll to bottom) and that "we are fighting for our way of life" (scroll to bottom). These are serious statements that rival anything Roosevelt said during WWII.
His response to this great threat was to have a "surge" and send 28,000 additional troops to Iraq to supplement the 157,000 troops already there. So the President's strategy to win the proclaimed fight of our lives is to increase troop strength by 18% (28/157). If the President really believes the comments he made, how can he justify only increasing troop strength by 18%. The disconnect between what he is saying and what he is doing is absolutely mind boggling.The President has said that "the war in Iraq is the calling of this generation" (scroll to bottom) and that "we are fighting for our way of life" (scroll to bottom). These are serious statements that rival anything Roosevelt said during WWII.
I am sure the President would actually like to send 400,000 troops to Iraq, but in order to send that many troops he would have to institute a draft and then the American people would wake up to what is really going on make President justify what he would be doing. And when the American people actually wake up and pay attention to what is going on in Iraq, the whole thing falls apart.
