I find it amusing that people automatically put the label "liberal" on anyone protesting the war.
But, have you ever stopped and asked "what war are they protesting about?"
Well, folks, it ain't the war in Afghanistan. Yes, remember that one? You know, where we went in, hit Al Qaida training centers, threw the Taliban out, and basically fought a war against terrorists....
And where we still have a hell of a lot of troops on the ground.
You ever wonder WHY no one is protesting that war?
The simple truth is that everything that we said was there actually was. Terrorist training camps, Bin Ladin's place of residence, everything... INCLUDING GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.
Okay, granted, we have not yet run Bin Ladin to ground yet, but we could if there were the resources available.
Now, let us look at the OTHER war. The one that has been going on for a shorter time and yet has produced 4 times as many casualties.
Iraq, President Bush said there were weapons of Mass Destruction there....
He lied, there wasn't a single WMD in the country.
Then he said that we invaded because Saddam Hussain supported Bin Ladin....
He lied, Hussain distrusted Bin Ladin, even executed everyone of Bin Ladin's followers found in Iraq... Probably because Bin Ladin wanted to over through Hussain and put in a Muslim Fundamentalist government.
Thats right people, Bin Ladin wanted Saddam gone more than good ol' President Bush.
The latest story out of the White House is that the UN asked for a Coalition force to invade.
BIG WHOPPER OF A LIE!
The UN was very much against an invasion.
Now then, people protesting the war in Iraq are not just liberals, they are conservative Republicans too. Republican congressmen have started to distance themselves from the president and his policies, simply because of all the lies concerning Iraq.
Not one of the people protesting the war in Iraq has referred to our troops as baby killers, murderers or anything other than "Our Soldiers," or "Our boys."
Our troops come home they are not greeted with protesters throwing bags of dog shit at them.
In other words folks, they support our troops. The protesters are demanding our troops be pulled out of Iraq and used where they will do some good, Afghanistan.
Stop and think about it, before you condemn the next war protester, what are they really protesting?
I served in the Army, I support our troops. I do not support the fact they are being put in danger needlessly in what was a completely trumped up war.
President Bush lied to the American people about Iraq. In the process he has managed to create everything he needs to take the US from a Republic to a police state with one word. The series of laws called the patriot acts are nothing more than a bunch of illegal laws that infringe on the bill of rights, and the latest law, passed in august of last year actually allows the president to declare martial law without setting a time frame.
Think about it, our founding fathers wrote the constitution to prevent just that, however, our present President has managed to get laws passed that makes the constitution null and void.
Now folks, why aren't you out protesting? The majority of the American people sat idly by and watched as our rights were infringed, our troops were sent to fight a war built on lies, and our President grabbed more power in the process.
