Letter to the Editor
On the fourth anniversary of Mission Accomplished it's clear that Bush has the war so screwed up that it's not winnable. We don't even know who the enemy is that and every day we are there we are hurting America. We elected the Democrats to get us out of Iraq, not to pass non-binding symbolic votes. It's time for Democrats to pull the plug. Supporting the troops is supporting the war. Voting for funding is the same as reauthorizing the war. Why should we keep sending soldiers to die for nothing. It's time to pull the plug and get out now.

I watched the first debate between the Democratic candidates for president tonight not expecting to change my mind or be impressed by anyone. One of the candidates, Mike Gravel, was a name I never heard before. Although I liked what everyone who I knew said, I was really impressed with this new guy because he gets it on the Iraq issue.
Mike Gravel fully understands that the war in Iraq wasn't only a crime, but that Democrats need to take extreme measures to shut down the war and shut down the Bush administration now. Although he probably has zero chance of winning I was impressed enough to go to his web site to make a donation. Unfortunately his web site was so overloaded that I couldn't get in. But I like what he said and I want to hear more of it.

And - it's a name I can pronounce!

I hope Bush does veto the Iraq funding and I hope that the Democrats refuse to send him another bill funding the occupation. Every dollar we put into Iraq makes America weaker and causes more soldiers to die for nothing. It's time to end the denial and face reality. Why is the point in putting it off till later and let things continue to get worse? I think that when Bush vetoes the funding then we should call the occupation over.
