Pompous, Self-Righteous, Self-Serving Statement of the Day on Iraq
You knew it had to be Joementum, the ex-Dem who constitutes a political party of one and is now the main apologist for the Bush escalation, regardless of party. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, I, I, I. Lieberman wants Senators to "put the brakes" on resolutions disapproving the escalation in order to give our "160,000 troops a chance to succeed in Iraq." A chance to die for nothing attempting to carry out a misbegotten plan that, almost to a person, everyone with knowledge, expertise and logic says cannot succeed. To my mind, the blood of any and all troops and others that is shed because of what Lieberman calls our "last chance" will be on his hands now. As John Kerry once said, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?” Maybe Bush will give Joe another kiss tonight at the State of the Union speech. I guess he deserves it. More at TPM Muckraker.

Had I been asked before the study group report came out, I would have supported an increase in the number of troops in Iraq. I was actually very close to re-enlisting in the military myself, willing to help out. As much as I despise Bush, I support our troops, and believe that every effort should be made to clean up the mess we made of Iraq.
After the report came out though, I can't help thinking that such an increase would result in more hostility, as we are seen by the majority as an unwelcome occupying force. While I still think we need to clean up the mess Bush made of things, I believe that this will be an impossibility with Bush in office and without support from the UN.
On a side note, is everyone aware of votetoimpeach.org? It's a petition to get Bush and his people impeached. Granted, it's not much, but it's something, and it's easy. I've had my own name on there since Bush started pushing to invade Iraq.
