No matter how many troops the R's kill in Iraq, it's still a bad idea.

I just can't take the BS anymore. The REPUBLICANs are raising a false flag again. They want to claim that we honor the fallen by felling even more troops.

But it doesn't matter how many deaths REPUBLICANS cause, Iraq will still be a unilateral war. A war against the UN's consensus. A pre-emptive war. A war that has tax cuts for the wealthy in its duration. A war based on lies of commission. A war that has punished the truthful. A war that has rewarded and awarded the least civilized among us. A war that has very nearly killed as many Iraqi's as Saddam, if not more. A war that will have killed as many Americans as Osama Bin Laden's dupes murdered. A war with religious fanatics on each side of the killing. A war that is not a war against terror, but a war for profit -a war to restrict oil supply and increase oil prices and profits.

This thing is a slam dunk to sink REPUBLICANS in any valid election. I just can't stand the obvious BS going on and the media just leaving the real Democrats' position out of the mainstream discussion.

1. Just think about for a second, 2500+ guys buys you enduring
control of the mideast oil fields. Strip away ALL of the bullshit & there you have it. This is the perspective of the average guy.

2. The Dems need to blatantly ask "why did our kids die"
Show us the progress. The GOP would huddle and come out blathering. There was no reason.
