  War is hell. Get us OUT of Iraq!!! Find Osama Bin Laden. Inprison him for life in a UN prison. If GW would have just done that, as should have been done, right away, after his guilt was established, Iraq would not have been a viable option. But greed intervened and war in Iraq was just the destablizing catalist for world wide sky high oil prices, which is exactly what the Big Oil Bush/Cheney machine wanted. Bin Laden's family holds a lot of power and influence and is in cahoots with Bush/Cheney to protect their Osama from real harm. A spoiled, rich brat, allowed to get away with murder by rich, corrupt and evil relatives and their friends. Just like GW!!!! Two brothers from a different mother. If any good comes out of the 2008 elections, let it be the end of Bush/Cheney and the road to Fascism in the United States. We do not want a system based on NAZI Germany like GW's grandfather Prescott wanted. We want a Democracy based on our adopted Constitution. Honest government of the People, by the People, for the People!!! Corruption should pay with jail and loss of all ill-gotten gains.

Harry Reid on John McCain and the Iraq War

Harry Reid Senator (D-Nevada); Senate Majority Leader

Question: If John McCain is elected, would that be a mandate to stay in Iraq?

Reid:  The war causes me grief.  We had a bloody month in April, 51 Americans killed.  Every one of those Americans who died had wives, mothers, fathers, neighbors, brothers, sisters.  It’s tragedy all 51 times.  We have lost going on 4,100 Americans, tens of thousands wounded, a third of them grievously wounded--missing eyes, more then 3,000 double amputees, paralysis, and of course one out of every five has head trauma so badly that they need care for this next generation.  I can’t imagine the American people endorsing this war.  It’s costing us $5,000 a second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  What more you can say?  The American people can’t endorse this war.
