I'm worried day and night about my cousin and friends in Iraq, risking their lives to defend 1) Georgie's lies and now 2) Georgie's ego.
Doesn't it make you sick to read about the Bush twins vacationing in Argentina while ordinary Americans are exploding to death in Iraq?

For so-called 'Mr. Wise' your statement is called an ad hominem attack, or attacking the person, rather his argument. I am hardly juvenile, I have studied and written more history than you will ever be able to read, and seldom ignore anything, thank you.
You, sir, are ignoring the point that was made, and instead have chosen to attack me and call me names. Why are you so angry? Could it be we're all right, and you are ALL WRONG?

Thank you Mark, I agree with him 100%. Ijust wish more people would check it out and start by contacting their congressperson or senator and let them know how they feel.

However much I believe in certain points made in this press video, however much I look forward to the day when we are out of the Mid-East, however much I look forward to having a Democrat in office, I believe that this video is dangerously sensational commentary that appeals to the mediocre American that is engulfed in media, and spoon fed crap!
This problem is more complicated than black or white, troops in or out, left or right. We have entered into a seriously complicated arena. If we pull out now what will happen to Iraq? What will happen to the region? Or is it all ready too late; WW3?
This is a very volatile situation; the wrong move now could set the situation aflame (or more aflame than it already is).
My biggest problem with news commentary like this is that it was the same news people and corporate leadership that supported the war up until recently. It’s like Fox news gone 180 degrees. It appeals to your emotions but not to your mind.
Could war profiteers and oil companies (who may own MSNBC and BBC) make more money if we leave after setting the place afire? We leave, the region goes into massive war, gas sells an $8 a gallon, and our weapons company makes a fortune (again) selling weapons to both sides in a huge conflict?
Wake up America; it's not as simple as leaving. Don't you smell the political agenda here? The news commentator in this video is an actor who collects a paycheck from those who are profiting from this no matter which way this conflict goes!
The best decision now is the one where the fewest people die and the least amount of damage is done. Is leaving Iraq the answer? Maybe it is, but only if some other power comes into play. If we leave now, all at once, the power vacuum could destroy our whole civilization! Every body would jump in to get a piece.

Bush and government must send their family members to sacrifice then talk about adding more to the troops from families outside of the Washington click what makes them better?

So did your cousins' parents force them to join the military and go to Iraq? I would assume "no," so why would you force that on anyone else...including the Bush twins?
What has the potential for making this war meaningless is not allowing our troops to execute this war to win. We have been inflicting a politically correct war on our troops and that NEVER works. They have to ask permission for every interaction. They can't take out a mosque even if terrorists are in it. They have to second guess every move. Deaths due to such restrictions are the meaningless ones. By forcing a politically correct war on our troops we are dragging out the war needlessly and THAT makes their sacrifices meaningless...not the war itself.

You're a typical liberal-coward-twit-juvenile that knows nothing of history and would ignore it even if he did know it.
