New Year's Eve Message, December, 2006

Who will be the last one to die for this nonsense?

In January of 2007 we have now passed the unfortunate number of 3000 dead American soldiers in the war that should have never been fought. Estimates of the Iraqi non-combatant dead range from 30,000 to 100,000 and beyond.

The lies issued by the Bush Administration to goad the American nation into war have been thoroughly debunked. Saddam was not engaged in a WMD program. He was militarily contained by sanctions and constant harassment by US and UK forces and therefore no threat to his neighbors or anyone else. Saddam was not involved in any strategic way with al-Qaeda or any other terrorist organization.

Lies. All of it, damn, dirty lies, that have cost Americans so dearly that the only proper course of action is to impeach the snakes that lied them. America has lost 3000 dead and about 25 thousand injured and maimed. We have lost our credibility and right to lead the Free World. We have destabilized the entire Middle East and have created a power vacuum for the new regional superpower, Iran. Our national security is compromised by the loss of goodwill and cooperation from nations around the world, not to mention the strain upon our military forces which are scrambling to meet the requirements of their missions.

We have been intentionally MISLED

Most Americans now "get it" that Bush's Iraq War is a complete catastrophe. Most Americans now understand that Bush deliberately lied by omission and commission to get Americans to support his war, which at best is his colossal blunder and at worst was a calculated attempt to gain a permanent economic foothold in the region for his oil baron family and friends.

A few years back, the state of California put a man in jail for 50 years for stealing less than $100 worth of children's videotapes. What is the appropriate punishment for intentionally steering the nation into disaster?

Our Constitution holds the answer: impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. We cannot afford another 2 years of Bush Iraq policy. It is deadly to our children, the Iraqi people, and in the end it will accomplish nothing. Bush shows no sign that he will "change course", even though the best foreign policy minds in the country from both sides of the aisle say that this "course" will never work. Bush has got to go, the sooner, the better.

Impeach Bush. NOW.
