seven-pesos - Last president that didn't come out of the south???

[seven-pesos]

history shows what happens when southerners get the power in america.

the south has a dark and sordid past.

bush is just the latest chapter to come out of that most militaristic and extremist region of america.

the south never does good for america.

always war, hate, phony christian creeps and crooked republican snakes.

ha,ha,ha.

We never should have gone there; however, we did so we have an obligation to not abandon the real Iraqi people. They did not ask for this.

Very few people are demanding or expecting all US soldiers to be withdrawn, including me.

What I am demanding (like anyone cares) is that US forces stop being used as policemen. Iraq has more than enough people to provide their own police forces. It does not take years to train some guy to walk up and down a street waiting to be blown up.

The US military is not trained nor equipped to be policemen in Iraq or anywhere else. They should be confined to their fortified compounds and only used to protect civil affairs personnel involved in the actual reconstruction of Iraq. Or, providing assistance to Iraqis when requested to do so.

They should not be protecting the Iraqi "government." Nor should US taxpayers being paying mercenaries to do so.

Iraq belongs to Iraqis, not Americans.

Can anyone explain why Israel has not sent troops to Afghanistan or Iraq?

Israel is the primary beneficiary of the "war on terror", so why isn't Israel doing anyting to help?

As a matter of fact, immediately following 9/11/01, Ariel Sharon ran to Washington and demanded over 20 billion dollars in grants, loans and loan guarantees. Why did we give Israel our money when we are fighting their fight?

Israel doesn't seem to be much of an ally. For $20 billion, we can buy lots of "allies." Including that staunch "ally" Pervez Musharraf, military dictator of Pakistan. He only cost $10 billion, but he is at least providing troops (sort of).

Can anyone explain how having US soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan is preventing anyone, Islamic extremist or otherwise, from detonating a car bomb at your local shopping center, school or anywhere else in your neighborhood?

And, if you can't, can you explain why you claim George Bush is "protecting Americans"?

Or, for that matter, why you think the "war on terror" is "keeping you safe"?

Thanks.
