Bring the troops home!

When Democrats took control of the House this year the big debate was between "stay the course" and bring the troops home. The GOP constantly demanded that if that's what the Dems wanted they needed to supply a p[lan to do so. As if the only thing keeping the troops in Iraq was the lack of an exit strategy. Well Congress passed a bill to bring the troops home by Sept. '08, and all I hear are threats of veto. Why is that? Is it because the civilian contractors (linked to current White House staff) raking in the cash in this train wreck haven't filled their pockets yet? Is it because our Commander in Chief is too proud to admit he made a mistake?

I have personally been against the invasion of Iraq from the begining. There is a justified war, that seems to have been forgot, still being fought in Afganistan. Where are all the war supporters for this war. Why has Saddam "been brought to justice" while the real threat to America enjoys his freedom? Why are my fellow Americans dying in the streets of Bagdad while bin Laden sips margaritas for all we know? Why is the "war on terror" not being directed at the source of the terror?

I ask these questions because somehow not supporting the war in Iraq has somehow become a sign that you lack patriotism and hate this country. If this is true where is the support for wounded troops when they get home? Why is the President cutting Veterans' benefits? That my friends is true anti-patriotism. Our Commander in Chief looks out for no one but himself. His advisors look out for no one but theirselves.
