SNAFU

The Senate has passed a military funding bill which calls for all of the troops to be out of Iraq by March of 2008. Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Congress has totally lost their minds?

There is nothing like a demonstration of this form of inept, idiotic and political bovine excrement to keep the insurgents entertained. I can just imagine a few of them sitting around their dirt floor, kicking the kids out to play with a few of the explosives lying around and going over the latest laughs from America. Oh what a comedy of events this must seem to a people who have been raised on war and keep AK47's around for protection.

Here are a few of them, laughing and enjoying their newspapers and then they see the punch line, Bush will veto the bill! They must be near passing out from laughter at this point with visions of our military pointing empty rifles at them and hollering "BANG-BANG". It is nice to know that we are providing so much entertainment to these sick bastards who think of nothing but killing our brave men and women trying to give these creeps a real country.

Close to 4000 American's in uniform have given their lives in this place that most of them call hell. For what reason, please, someone tell me something other then providing a democracy for the country of Iraq. That is one the thing we are not doing right now, all that we are doing is going through the motions and throwing away the lives of our men and women, our youth, our tomorrow, the future of America.

Because, my good friends, if we install a published timetable for total withdrawal of all military personnel that is exactly what we have done – AGAIN!

Perhaps this is our new foreign policy. Sending in our military to build democracies and pulling them out, leaving the country torn apart by civil war and invasions by neighboring countries. All the while we have lost the lives of our men and women who fought to try and make a difference in the first place. It must be, because we sure have become pretty adept in this form of senseless loss our military.

It could be that those who voted for the bill needs to be reminded what will happen setting a timetable. On second thought, they already know, they were around during Viet Nam, they had to recall the enemy tanks pulling into Saigon, our choppers being pushed off the decks of ships to make room and the reports of the tens of thousands of deaths when we left. They can't be so hard headed not to at least recall some of that history.

Do they want reality; think back to 9/11 when aircraft flew into our buildings. Think back to the men, women and children who lost their lives. Now, look today to Iraq, our men and women are fighting a war that we sent them to, for Pete's sake, send them better message then election time political games!

The insanity of this crap is driving me nuts, the only rational reasoning behind the nonsense is the fact they are controlling Congress and want to make President Bush tow the line, nothing more.

Come on Congress, if you wan to set timetables, do it behind closed doors and classify the meeting with the highest security and learn something from our history.

This whole thing makes me physically ill.
