U.S. must admit its error and withdraw from Iraq

In a report submitted to the U.S. president and the Congress, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group admitted that in Iraq the situation is "grave and deteriorating" and "there is no path that can guarantee success." The Bush administration's Iraq policy has clearly reached a dead end.

It's nice to have someone confirm what over half of the U.S. and almost three-quarters (see article linked above) already know. Too bad The Decider isn't going to listen, despite his so-called "listening tour".

Note to all the newly-elected Democrats in the House and Senate:

Hello, newly-elected Democrats! We hope you're enjoying your new jobs and nice offices, however, please keep the following in mind.

We didn't elect you because we necessarily like you, or even believe that you'll do a much better job than your predecessors. We know that, eventually, you'll kowtow to rich lobbyists and Big Business just like they did.

No, you've been elected to do three things for us, the American People:

1. Pull our troops the hell out of Iraq, and

2. Impeach Bush and Cheney, and finally

3. Prepare War Criminal Hearing against the men listed in point 2, as well as their cohorts/co-conspirators.

When you wake up in the morning, and ask yourself, "I wonder what's on my agenda for today," take a look at your to-do list. If it looks different than what's printed above, you're not doing what you've been elected to do.

Sincerely,

The people who voted you into office.
