New Plan For Iraq
Key elements of the plan, excerpts from the president's speech, reaction and more.
“I am outraged, as are the majority of Americans. I'm a lifelong Republican, but it's past time for change,” retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste told reporters.
“Our strategy in Iraq today is more of the same, a slow grind to nowhere which totally ignores the reality of Iraq and the lessons of history,” Batiste said. “Our president ignores sound military advice and surrounds himself with like-minded and compliant subordinates.”
Batiste and Paul Eaton, also a retired major general, are featured in the ads by VoteVets.org. They challenge the president's argument that he listens to his commanders on the ground in Iraq and say the president's Iraq policies endanger U.S. security.
“The fact is, the president has never listened to the soldiers on the ground effectively,” said retired NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark, who ran for president in 2004. “This administration is not listening to the troops and is not supporting them.”
Other veterans promoted the campaign at a news conference in Manchester, the start of a six-state publicity tour targeting Republican Sens. John Sununu of New Hampshire, Susan Collins of Maine, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and John Warner of Virginia, plus nine House members.
Many in the group, including Sununu, have criticized various aspects of administration policy, but all have opposed legislation to establish a timetable for withdrawing American troops.
“Telling members of al Qaeda, militias or insurgent groups the date we will begin and end troop withdrawals is irresponsible,” Sununu said.
Separately in Manchester, about a dozen peace activists staged a sit-in at Sununu's office to oppose the war. They read the names of 22 New Hampshire troops who died in Iraq. They also stood around a pile of shoes. Attached to each pair was the name of an Iraqi killed in the conflict. Outside, about 30 protesters waved signs.
When VoteVets.org ran ads in February, Sununu said critics of the war have every right to speak out, “but no group or individual should claim to speak for all the patriotic Americans serving in Iraq and around the world in our armed forces.”
The House members targeted by the new ads are Mary Bono of California, Phil English of Pennsylvania, Randy Kuhl and James Walsh of New York, Jo Ann Emerson of Missouri, Timothy Johnson of Illinois, Mike Rogers and Fred Upton of Michigan and Michael Castle of Delaware.
English's spokeswoman, Julia Wanzco, fired back.
“The congressman has long stated that he is for a political settlement not a surge, and at the end of the day, these ads are more about cheap Democratic political stunts than about solving the actual problem,” she said.

People are upset about the Iraqi Parliament taking two months off? What about Condoleeza Rice and our diplomatic corps? Two days in Sharm El Sheik with naught but a 'hello' here and there, then two months back in Washington doing nothing. If Bush was really supporting the troops, there would be a surge in diplomacy as well.
The only reason the US invaded Iraq was to get some good old boys richer. Even generals are in our faces about Cheney and Bu$h. But America sleeps...
"Defense contractor BAE Systems Inc. will buy military armored vehicle maker Armor Holdings Inc. for $4.1 billion, part of BAE's bid to tap into heavy demand from the American military for vehicles in Iraq and other war zones, the company said Monday.
BAE Systems Inc., an American subsidiary of the British defense conglomerate BAE Systems PLC, will pay $88 per share for Armor Holdings, based in Jacksonville, Fla. That represents a 7 percent premium over the closing price of company shares Friday. Including $388 million in debt, the deal is worth $4.5 billion.
Shares of Armor Holdings rose $4.45, more than 5 percent, to $86.60 in Monday trading after the takeover was announced.
The deal expands BAE's presence in the potentially lucrative market for armored Humvees, personnel carriers and other military equipment that can withstand repeated roadside bombings and insurgent attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan."
This could easily go on for years.

Retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste, ret. commander of The Big Red One -
echoes the wihes of the American people.
Let's follow the advice of our military leaders.
"Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger." (1894) Theodore Roosevelt
To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing. - The Outlook December 21, 1895 Theodore Roosevelt
"...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done." (1891) Theodore Roosevelt
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things. Theodore Roosevelt
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big. Theodore Roosevelt
Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind. Theodore Roosevelt
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything. Theodore Roosevelt
The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal warmonger. Theodore Roosevelt
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead. Theodore Roosevelt
The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight. Theodore Roosevelt

This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

karlimhof as you say the futility is clear for all to see and the lies and half-truths used to convince the congress and the American people to go to war are common knowledge.
bushit is trying to keep alive his "global war on terror" as a political means of keeping his party in power.
this is immoral as our troops die in Iraq and hundreds of thousands of iraqis die along with them, and millions of refugees flee the country, their lives destroyed.
the folly of the Bush War is the gravest threat to our country since pearl harbor 1941.

many neocon posters take it as a sign of disrespect and...well....they're right.
but it means also:
in its infinitive form "to bush it" or simply "bushit" ;
meaning to fail utterly and obviously any and all tasks, then to lie about it, then to blame somebody else for ones own stupidy.
as words transform themselves as new contexts arise, we will probably see new meanings to the word "bushit".

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

And you can actually say that with a straight face! Lars says it's the media that is against this war, not the American people. The media lead the "sheeple" to conclude that the war is not in our best interest. But bright, intelligent folks like him recognize that Iraq, with no WMD's and no ties to 9-11, is a threat to our national security. If we leave, they'll hop on their camels, go straight to their canoes, and come after us with their scimitars drawn! Be afraid, be very afraid! Meanwhile, the price of gas goes even higher and the pro-war plutocrats pull in another round of record profits...
Another bit of neocon "spin". The war in Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terrorism of for American freedoms. That war is being fought in Afghanistan where their Taliban govt protected the Al Qaeda forces which did attack our country on 9/11 when George W Bush was asleep at the wheel.
Like me, I urge you to contact your Senators and Representatives to let them know just how bad you feel this Iraq war of illegal aggression is. We can see that even the Republicans are now getting the message.
These Generals are good men who have been betrayed by an evil man in the White House. Do not let them stand alone. Stick up for America and let Congress know just how bad this war stinks.
He is hoping against hope, and history, that some miraculous event will keep him from being tagged a moron by history for this boondoggle.
As in Afghanistan, where legislators have passed a measure calling for negotiations with the Taleban after 5 1/2 years of being unable to stop their recruitment and assaults, so will go Iraq.
And Bush will be tagged with trying to conquer both countries with defective strategies and wasting a ridiculous amount of American warriors and treasure in the process.
Merriam-Webster defines "boondoggle" as: a wasteful or impractical project or activity often involving graft.
There is no better term to describe Bush's invasion/occupation of Iraq, and history will view it so regardless of Bush's stubborn resistance to that fact.
