The Republicans were swept out of office last fall because America wanted our troops home. The Democrats have had ample opportunity to put George Bush's feet to the fire, and have failed to do so. Now, they have a chance to END THE SURGE, and force the president's hand by refusing his Supplemental War Funding Request...question is, will they?
Let's face it, Iraqi troops have not stood up, other than to kill each other, and our soldiers. Further, the government of Iraq that was duly elected has also been a dismal failure. Let's give the Kurd's what they need to protect themselves, and act as a check on Iran (including all the equipment we do not intend on bringing home), cut our losses and come home. If everyone in the Middle East want to avoid a bloody civil war, let them step up to the plate for a change, as enough American Blood has been needlessly wasted in the desert sands.
Meanwhile, if private mercenaries (Blackwater) want to stay and keep fighting, let them find Iraqi's to pay them their blood money, rather than using US taxpayer dollars for their corporate agenda. The Democrats have a BIG CHANCE here to keep their promise to the voters, and to America....BRING OUR TROOPS home by defunding the war.
