Letter to the Editor

George Bush says that we’re doing great in Iraq, we’re “kicking ass” and we’re winning the war. The troops are going to start coming home in July next year. The problem is that if you believe Bush he’s only going to get us back down to where the surge was before the surge started. And that’s his definition of “progress”? Does anyone really believe that Bush going to bring any troops home? Are we still in the last throws of the insurgency? It’s only been 4 years since “mission accomplished”.

It seems that the real mission for the troops in Iraq is to fight and die so Bush can run out the clock on his presidency. After he retires, and he’s replenishing the ol’ coffers”, he can come back and say, “It wasn’t my fault! Hillary did it!”
