140,000 Troops In Iraq Indefinitely ?

  I'm a little on the slow side this week, having to try to work and get over the flu at the same time, so I seem to be missing all of the news. I hear that Bush made another one of his " no content " speeches today, so I guess that missing that one was no big deal.

   But THIS is!

March 27th, 2008 by Speaker Pelosi

President Bush’s speech today on Iraq failed to offer any plan for the safe return of our brave men and women. In fact, the Administration reportedly is preparing to tell the American people that we must maintain 140,000 troops in Iraq indefinitely.

The war will cost Americans more than $3 trillion and continues to jeopardize our military’s ability to respond to threats anywhere else on the globe. Money spent in Iraq is desperately needed at home to educate our children, rebuild our infrastructure and provide health care for millions of Americans.

Rather than offering more rhetoric that continues to be divorced from reality, the President owes it to those bravely serving in Iraq today, and to their fallen comrades, a plan to bring an end to this tragedy.

  140,000 troops will be stuck in Iraq until, when? That isn't much less than what we have there at the present time.

   It is crap like this that gives all of us good reason to not vote for John McCain or any other Republican. Do we really need another Bush term? I think not, and that is what you will be getting if John McCain is elected in November. We can't allow that to happen. The Bush Crime Syndicate is going to make sure that their corporate friends can keep on making the money even after the bastard is out of office and the Iraq mess continues.

   Can we impeach yet?

John McCain's Foreign Policy Speech

  "We cannot build an enduring peace based on freedom by ourselves," McCain said in an address to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council.    USAToday

   What I would like to know is where has the Bush administration built any kind of enduring peace on this planet? Iraq maybe? Try again. How about in Afghanistan? Not there either. I can't think of one, how about you?

   Hey McCain! If you are looking to build a Democracy with lasting peace, how about starting right in your own back yard for once? America could probably use some help with Democracy, since we seem to have lost quite a bit of it under the leadership of your boss, George Bush. Does this country not count? How about no more spying on the citizens of the United States and the restoration of our civil rights that  your boss has stolen from us? How about an election this time around that isn't stolen from the people who vote?

  You can read John McCain's full speech( which I will be picking apart ) right Here in downloaded PDF.
