Iraq War
Secrecy, Lies, Deception, Cover Up
The Bush administration has cloaked itself in secrecy, lies, deception, withholding of facts and cover up -- ignoring the well known fact that "democracy dies behind closed doors."
There is now proof that there was no legitimate justification for going to war in Iraq. President Bush just wanted to play the tough guy in a barroom brawl showing the rest of the world that the U.S. could kick Saddam's butt. However, Bush neglected to plan what to do after he won the battle and is now being chastized by a majority of the islamic world. Vladimir Putin was right when he said, "democracy must start from within" -- just as it did during the formation of our own country.
President Bush and Donald Rumsfield have grossly mishandle the war in Iraq. Our brave young people are being killed. Our military is now grossly understaffed and can't get needed new recruits. Just as in Viet Nam, we are again attempting to fight a conventional war against gorillas who do not wear uniforms; and we have stirred up a hornets nest of radicals in the muslim world who are willing to commit suicide to stop us.
The Iraq military will never become adequate until we set a date to leave the country. When they know they have to defend themselves without our help, then and only then, will they own up to the task.
In President Bush's recent speeches he states, "my most solemn duty is to protect the American people." Why then is he completly ignoring the safety of our own borders while protecting borders in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, Germany, and many other countries? He ignores the fact that he was elected President of the United States and acts like he was elected President of the World!
Gross figures for the total number of illegal aliens crossing our borders is in the millions annually. Since October 2004 over 60,000 non-mexicans have illegally crossed our borders. California estimates that over 60 percent of the gang members in the state are illegal aliens. Hospitals are closing throughout the country because they can't afford to handle the increased case load of illegal aliens. Disease is on the increase in the U.S. due to illegal aliens.
Products coming through our sea ports are not adequately monitored. Security at our nuclear power, hazardous chemical production and water facilities is grossly inadequate. Millions of people are having their identities stolen each year. Approximately 100,000 people die in hospitals each year due to medical negligence and errors. Why is President Bush ignoring these issues?
