how about we DON'T send more troops to Iraq?

it's fallacious to think that after being smoked out in midterm elections the Bush administration has suddenly gotten smart about how to fix a war that they started. and instead of heeding any of the advice of a nonpartisan, unbinding "study group" they threw together, the neocons have again decided to "go it alone" and propose their own solution, utilizing the very limited brain power of the West Wing and shunning newly elected democratic leadership.

i'm sick and tired of this nonsense. there is no more debate. whether you were "for the war" or "against the war" has become moot, since the war has already happened. it is happening. for almost four years. and it is getting severely out of hand.

i like how Bush has continually decided to completely ignore public opinion in his unilateral, partisan decisions to augment fighting worldwide. that's very totalitarian chic. i like that kind o boldness. and you thought we lived in a democracy. wrong, buddy, it's a republic. that means democratic when convenient.

so just this one time it would've been nice to have been consulted. four years on and you're sending my friends back there. four years on and my pregnant friends will lose their fathers for another year and perhaps forever.

When the going gets tough, just eat the moose
