Murtha vs Iraq

Real conservatives recognize the fact the Bush family is NOT conservative. They "go with the flow." For those of us old enough to remember Reagan's first election moderate/liberal Bush41 was added to the ticket to balance the conservative Reagan. Conservatives are like a drowning person grasping for the air when they look at George43 as a conservative. It is too bad more conservatives cannot be more objective and see this.

The United States' plan for Iraq has been a disaster from the beginning. Can we begin to imagine the pressure on the worker-bees in the various Federal agencies to interpret intelligence in such a way as to justify starting a war with Iraq? If they wanted to keep their job they had to get-on-board and find a reason, no matter how obtuse.

Once the decision was made to start an unconstitutional war our military rushing to Baghdad all the while leaving functional fighting groups behind their back has got to be criminal in its stupidity. There is a basic rule in war that says never leave an enemy behind (alive). We fell into a trap an idiot could have seen. Kind of like A. P. Hill at Antietam. Generals such as Tommy Franks should be Court Martialed for their stupidity and the lives they cost.

For those of us old enough to remember Viet Nam, in the first person, it was known at the time that General Giap, of the NVA was willing to lose 10 of his people to kill 1 of ours. Today, George43 is willing to kill more than 2,000 of ours to get one of theirs, (Sadaam). Once you get out of the womb, Georg43 apparently considers you cannon fodder.

Remember when the USSR and the USA could have attacked each other at any time but chose not to? Talk about a threat, the USSR was more of a threat to the USA than Iraq ever was or could have been. Because you can do something does not mean you should do it. We attacked Iraq and tremble at North Korea. Doesn't that make us a bully? We beat up on Granada and get our butts kicked in Somalia. Doesn't that show we are inept? George43 shot off his mouth and then found out that people and media were listening and then he could not find a way to back off. We are experiencing his solution.

Constitutionally, Congress declares war not the Executive branch. Congress was just getting on the bandwagon when they supported the war. If they had any moral backbone they would have objected but as are all politicians they are unethical, dishonest, and immoral, not to forget backboneless. They look out for themselves first, the people who give them money second, and if it happens to be convenient they will help people who voted for them. Apparently George43 thinks our Military voted BLUE.

Hopefully next election we will elect someone with intelligence AND character. Clinton had intelligence with no character. George43 has character with no intelligence at least faulty intelligence. Maybe one of these days we can get both at the same time.
