U.S. Not Winning War in Iraq, Bush Says for 1st Time - washingtonpost.com
No we can’t win Mr. Bush
Unlike the United States where we are able to restrict entry into our country, Iraq’s borders are virtually impossible to close. This is the problem we face trying to bring stability to the country. Since we have no way to restrict militant guerrillas from entering the country, or leaving for that matter, it has been nearly impossible to stop the violence. The sooner Mr. Bush and the rest of the military realize that they are in a sinking boat with so many holes in it and that water is entering faster than they can bail it out the better. Unfortunately the ship is sinking faster than we can bail. Sure you can bring in more buckets to bail it out faster however there are still the leaks that can’t be fixed. Eventually the boat is going to sink. The sooner we wake up to this fact the better.
There are come wars you can’t win and this is one of them. Not only is Mr. Bush desperately trying to save a sinking ship he also has to deal with hostile nations next door that don’t what us there either. Increasingly we at home are putting pressure on the President and Military to end this senseless war and bring our boys home. We are sick and tired of losing loved ones in a war we can not win. The sooner the administration realizes that the better.
It’s about time we abandon ship, don’t you think?

Wheres the Money Mr
Where’s the Money Mr. Green?
Now that the election in over, what is the election commission going to do about all that money Mark Green has stashed away illegally in his campaign fund? Strange how the silence is deafening. Not one single word from the Courts or the Election Commission. Wisconsin Citizens want to know what is going on. I for one want to know where that money is or if it got spent or funneled into some new account hidden from view.
“If I don’t say anything, perhaps it will go away.” Is that what you are hoping Mr. Green? My answer is categorically “No it is not. Not on your life.” Believe me, one thing I hate is crooked politicians. Now I hate to say that you might be one of them, but you must come clean and straighten this out right away.
If any Wisconsin official is reading this, I demand that you take the proper action and settle this matter. A determination must be made and a public disclosure made. If he should not have it, then it should be given back or donated to charity. If he illegally spent it then he should be prosecuted according to law.

The Bully President
The Bully President is at it again!
The problem as I see it is that Bush has had time to regain his composure after the election and resume his usual bully attitude. Several recent TV appearances have shown this to be true. Just after the election when many republicans lost their seats in the Senate and Congress, President Bush was stunned and repentant. The turnout of the elections stunned him. He became contrite and dropped his bully attitude. Since that time he has tested the waters and once again has resumed his bully attitude mainly because congress has at least for now not stood up to him and insisted that he change his ways, or else.
We all should be aware that once a bully regains his vice-grip on the situation and his minions once again regain their composure knowing that they will not be threatened because they once again are under his protection will continue to punish us unmercifully.
Those who won office must not loosen their grip and let this bully slip out of their grasp. If they do then it will be back to his old tricks and we will have to start all over again to regain the power we thought we had. We must continue to be forceful in our desires. If we want to get out of Iraq and if we want peace in the Middle East, we need to keep pounding the gavel insisting that congress and the senate stay the course and force the conservatives to back off. This is not the time to back down under the pressure of the rank and file technocrats under Bush’s control.
The problem is we have the attitude that “We Won” so now we can sit back and enjoy the victory. WRONG. We need to be ever vigilant and maintain the pressure to change the mistakes we have made in the past. We haven’t won, the battle is still before us and we must persist. We must face the fact that Bush is a bully and he got us into this mess, now it is our turn to get us out of it. Ain’t that the truth?
