War at Home: Bush and the Debate

This is classic Bush strategy pulling attention away from the important points. In a speech this morning he spoke about the need to push democracy on that battling region known as Afghanistan. How long do we have to be in Afghanistan until its good and democratized? The issue at hand is the bill in the house dissaproving of the troop increase in Irock. "some House Democrats and others have been circulating ways to limit financing for new troop levels unless military readiness can be proven, (while others are shying away from any notion that might be construed as a lack of support for American troops), " Military readiness? We are not ready because the people of Iraq are not going to ever be ready. In the 1700s being called a tyrant was a bad thing, today somebody saying that you don't support the troops is like saying the holocaust didnt occur. Its safe to say that all sane people support the men and women over in Iraq, but where is the line between supporting your troops and dissaproving of the reason for being there in the first place? Its impossible to support and dissaprove at the same time without pissing somebody off. If legislators truly supported the troops in Iraq they would sacrifice their careers to do the right thing and bring our boys home. Its not an easy thing to do, but I think if done this person would go down in history as one of the saving figures in national politics, whereas Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents in history. His time will come to.
