Senator Joe Biden recently returned from his FIFTH trip to Iraq. Today he stated that America has "Inadequate troop strength to mount a counter-insurgency". He came to this conclusion after lengthy discussions with American commanders "in-the-field", who unanimously share this opinion. Biden was also joined by Republican Senator John McCain, who said EXACTLY the same. Have Americans forgotten that Penatagon experts WARNED the Bush administration MONTHS before this misguided, illegal adventure OF EXACTLY THIS PROBLEM!!!??? Experts recommended 300,000 troops; Cheney and Rumsfeld adamantly opposed such numbers, sending 130,000. Two thousand have now been killed, more than 13,000 have been wounded, and many are nearing the end of their enlistments.... All while Bush has attempted to "Cut" veteran's benefits, "cut" medical coverage of injured soldiers, and give BILLIONS IN NO-BID CONTRACTS TO HIS CO-HORTS, SUCH AS HALLIBURTON, BECHTEL, AND VARIOUS "CONTRACTORS" FEEDING LIKE MAGGOTS ON THE DEAD BODIES OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS!! Bush spoke many times of a "coalition of the willing"; yet NO nation bears the burden of this travesty like America. Americans make up nearly 90% of the troops in Iraq. American taxpayers are paying the BILLIONS to finance the war. (while millions have mysteriously "vanished", and NO investigation has occured). American "poor" and "middle-class" families pay the "ultimate-price" for Bush's incompetant, corrupt war; sacrificing their sons & daughters because "Dubyuh" wants to "Stay-the-course", and invokes "Patriotism" and visions of "9-11". WHAT COURSE? He has said that we "must accomplish our mission"... WHAT MISSION?? We are embroiled in an Islamic civil-war; with NO end in sight. How long will it be before Bush invokes "the draft"?? If American sons & daughters are "drafted" to maintain this insanity, the riots and protests of Viet Nam will seem tame in comparison. If this war is not stopped, Bush may see "terrorism" fermenting in the towns and villages of America; not by "Islamic-fundamentalists", but by "average" Americans who have now "gone-postal". More than 200 years ago, American patriots "rose-up" in a bloody revolution to over-throw a represive monarchy. Our "Founding-Fathers" wisely established a government with a "Balance-of-Powers" to prevent megalomaniacs from taking total control. We now see our precious democracy bought by corporate-interests, and controlled TOTALLY by radical, extremists. Our Supreme Court, The House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House are all controlled by plotting, lying, stealing "Neo-Con" Republicans. Is this a 'BALANCE-OF-POWER"???? Bush's largest campaign-contributor in 2000 WAS ENRON!! THE SECOND-LARGEST-CONTRIBUTOR, WAS THE PHARMECEUTICAL INDUSTRY!! Drug companies who make BILLIONS, yet are constantly raising the prices of drugs. Did you ever stop-to-think, why drug-companies don't invent "cures" for diseases?? Where is the incentive to "cure-the-common-cold"?? Simply look at your "neighborhood-drug-store". Huge shelves of products to "treat-symptoms", yet NOTHING to "cure" a disease!! If they "cured" their patients, they LOSE THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! They don't want to "cure" us, THEY WANT TO "TREAT" US!!!!! Time magazine has a "cover-story" about the "epidemic of crystal-meth"; yet NO drug company has offered to cease production of ephedrine, a necessary ingredient in "Meth". Crystal-Meth keeps our police "busy", our jails "full", our lawyers occupied, our citizens poor, stupid and addicted; while Pfizer "cranks-out" billions of ephedrine tablets. (and donates millions to Bush)............ THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW!!!
