No End In Sight

President Bush is suppose to address the nation tonight to tell us that it had been a mistake earlier not to have more American and Iraqi troops fighting the war and to acknowledge that the rules of engagement were flawed.

So he's going to acknowledge this flaw by sending in 20,000 more troops? Where the hell is basic common sense? Forget actual leadership, as it has never been present. I'm talking about your everyday, run of the mill common sense that should tell you to change, or rather stop, your current strategy when it yields no results.

There are currently over 132,000 troops now in Iraq. This war has cost us, so far, over $400 billion, with another $1 billion expected to be used for Iraq's economy. Thousands of American and Iraqi lives have been lost. And in the meantime, it has taken Bush over three months to come up with a 20 minute speech, I mean, this new policy in which he continues to ignore the reviews of experts and their advice in handling this vastly unpopular and unsupported war.

He just doesn't get it. He thinks by saying, and trying to align himself with the "American" people, that he isn't satisfied with the "progress" in Iraq that we all of a sudden are going to listen to what he thinks is a good idea?

When we say that we aren't satisfied, we mean: pull our fucking troops out of there already!
