Woolsey Amendment: Congress doesn’t care how/when we get out of Iraq

The Woolsey Amendment is calling for the President to develop a plan for the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq and submit a plan to the Congressional Defense Committees.

It was defeated by Repuks (of course) and some Dems too (of course). This allows this administration to continue to kill innocent people and rape our treasury of billions.

So lets put this all together. Bush and Blair concocted false evidence to invade Iraq. Iraq did absolutely nothing against us nor was Iraq a threat. So, treasonously, Bush lied us into a war and here we are today.

This evil administration has caused the deaths of 1600 plus American lives, wounded 10,000 Americans, and murdered 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children. Additionally, Iraq in now basking in depleted uranium insuring the deaths of many more Iraqis.

Furthermore, our treasury has been squandered of $300 BILLION dollars.

So what’s really up here? First, Haliburton and other contractors have made billions off this war. We call that war profiteering. (Where did that $8 billion dollars go? That alone should be grounds for impeachment).

So was it for oil? Yes. But does it benefit us little citizens? No. No it absolutely does not. They, the evil Bush people, want bases to protect the oil. But, they will still charge us Americans the same price for gas. Or as it is, record gas prices – hey what the heck – gouge Americans.

So to summarize, Bush and his evil murderous crime family, stole their way into our government, invaded countries to secure oil for THEIR future profits, enacted laws against our Constitution and the citizenship, tailored all laws to benefit big business, and literally take our tax dollars (billions and billions) and stuff the pockets of their friends.

Not only is this administration ruthless killers, they have committed the ‘crime of the millennium’.

3. We are going
to hit peak oil shortly. Instead of spending the billions we have spent in Iraq we should have spent it on alternative energy and on preparing.
This will be never ending war and it ain't against terrorism...it is for oil. We won't leave Iraq.

4. I concur...
Can you think what we as a nation could accomplish if we spent 50 percent of the military budget on solar cells, wind energy, etc?

And I cannot get over the fact that our military budget is what $400-500 billion dollars but we cannot equip the foot soldier properly and to armor huvees?

It is obvious that our tax dollars are going right into the pockets of who? I guess the rich...
