Letter to Senators Feinstein and Boxer
Our mission in Iraq is over. We went into Iraq to get rid of a brutal dictator who was a potential threat to the U.S. Saddam is dead. We successfully oversaw democratic elections and athe formation of a government. We successfully initiated an new Iraqi army and national police force. We’re done. The current nation of Iraq is a threat to only themselves.
We did not precipitate the religious warfare now tearing the country apart. The Iraqis alone did that, and it is solely a Muslim problem, not ours. We should pull our troops out while announcing to nearby Muslim nations that they have an opportunity to stop the violence. Let Iran and Saudi Arabia fight it out. We should step aside and get out of the line of fire.
Bush’s statements that pulling our troops out and the political, social, and religious chaos that is sure to follow would be a disaster for the U.S. is just another lie put forward by Bush’s administration.
My question, is why does not the new Congress initiate an investigation of this latest falsehood? The Congress is entitled to know the intelligence basis for Bush’s deployment of more troops to Iraq. What exactly is the military mission and why is the mission critical to the nation?
Like Vietnam, when our nation’s military operations are causing the death of our youth, the Congress and the people are entitled to know precisely what these lives are buying for the United States.
Less you think that I am some peacenik left over from the Seventies, I am a WWII veteran who spent four months in an Army hospital bed before being discharged with 100 percent disability pension. Which means I am a certified patriot.
