Bush Misleads About Nature of Insurgency
Bush Misleads About Nature of Insurgency
In tonight’s speech Bush misleads on the nature of the challenge we face in Iraq. Consider the following excerpt:
We are fighting against men with blind hatred – and armed with lethal weapons – who are capable of any atrocity. They wear no uniform; they respect no laws of warfare or morality. They take innocent lives to create chaos for the cameras. They are trying to shake our will in Iraq – just as they tried to shake our will on September 11, 2001.
We know that there are foreign fighters in Iraq who are only interested in creating chaos, but we also know that a good piece of the insurgency are in fact people who do not act out of “blind hatred,” but instead out of a very calculated political motive to gain power.
The administration clearly knows this because they are negotiating with the Sunni insurgents to bring them back into the power structure.

A preview of President Bush’s speech on Iraq has been released.
For those keeping score at home, here are the Five Things Bush Should But Won’t Do Tonight:
1. Tell the Truth About the Path to War and the Occupation
2. Provide An Honest Assessment of the Current Situation in Iraq
3. Define “Victory” and States Whether or Not It Is Still Possible
4. Offer a Plan for Success and Ask the Nation for Sacrifices
5. Send a Clear Message to the World About American Intentions

Would you just sit on your tail or would you fight?
That is the exact situation the Iraqi people have been put in.
What would you do?

June 28th, 2005 at 7:38 pmJust a reminder folks,
Bushie is trying to amend the constitution to allow him a third term…If he succeeds he will get a third term as we all know he is very capable of stealing elections.
This is why I reiterate that impeachment is the only answer.
This is not about surviving till 08, this is about surviving period.
