mr bush is Trying to Turn America into a Rogue State

Let me reiterate, the Iraqi government wants us out. They have legitimized the killing of US troops. The bush regimes answer; to call the insurgents terrorists and refuse to leave. bush Has flat out said he will ignore the wishes of the soveriegn Iraqi government, the American people and even members of his own regime - "We will stay the course."

At home he wishes to wittle away at our liberties and privacy, our religious freedoms and rights to due proccess. He is allowing policy to be made by religious fundamentalists and trying to give our tax dollars to religious groups. This makes the US more like Iran than the land of the free and the home of the brave. We just seem to get farther and farther away from the "America" I grew up with in school. . .

The Iraqi leadership did not call for an immediate withdrawal, DuWayne, they wanted a plan for withdrawal. The President enumerated the benchmarks that the Iraqi security forces need to reach in order for us to withdraw. It is not based on an artificial time schedule, but there is a plan.

The Iraqi leadership called for a phased withdrawl to begin now and be complete within two years. Calling a firm timetable artificial is a silly talking point. There is nothing artificial about saying we will pull out these troops now, more later, then more - etc. It is artificial to say that we need to wait for benchmarks that may never happen. The Iraqis aren't asking us to reach benchmarks - they just want us to leave. . .
