Iraq Occupation has Failed; Time to Bring Troops Home
by Ed Garvey

It was the last question at the first "Lincoln-La Follette" Democratic dinner in Amery, Wis. (I know what you are thinking. Hey, Abe and "Fighting Bob" were Republicans. The answer from Amery was, "True, but today they would be Democrats. So we are adopting them.") The woman asked, "Why is no one outraged by this war?"

I asked for a show of hands: "How many of you want to bring the troops home now?" Every hand went skyward but her question hung over the audience.

Where is the voice of the Democrats in Washington?

Are liberals like Hillary Clinton playing coy because they are running for president in 2008 and fear a Swift Boat attack like the one on John Kerry if they "abandon" the troops in a time of war?

Are they afraid not to be as "macho" as W?

If the Republic does manage to last for another 200+ years, future generations of Americans will look back at the insanities of the Reagan/BushI/BushII* years and know these were our country's darkest hours. History will surely hold these bastards accountable, when will we?

1. Oh contraire mon cher, Bush says we are winning in Iraq....

...the increases in attacks are because we push hard and they push back:freak:
