What are you waiting for?

We're heading into the 6th year into this war in Iraq, and I'm so dumfounded that we are still having the debate of supporting the troops in relation to supporting this current administration's war policy. When did not supporting the war and the politics that led up to it, automatically mean you don't support the troops? C'mon!!! How can you have a war that costs damn near a trillion dollars, and countless lives, putting us in a major deficit as a nation, but still have tax cuts for the wealthy and well-off? I can't support that kind of policy!! And where do you think this money comes from? The middle class is the major component to government money. The middle class is the major component of the armed services. Yet the decisions made politically are made by upper class citizens, who sacrifice the least when it comes to the war effort. And the soldiers on the ground are just doing their job, but what job are they doing? Basically, they're a "police" force. And they're overqualified for that duty. But they don't really have any say on where they go or what they have to do, which makes their service that much more commendable. But more people need to speak out on their behalf. The politics and politicians involved are fuckin' full of shit, and people are being put in harm's way over politics? Oil? Pride? Don't let them bring the topic of democracy in Iraq as the major reason for this offensive. During your lifetime, when has it ever been a major concern of yours, the democracy of the Iraqi people? And yes, Saddam Hussein was a horrible person and sadistic dictator, but compared to who? There are over one hundred countries with dictatorships and horrible governments and leadership, with more dangerous intentions toward the United States, including our "ally" Pakistan, yet we rush into Iraq with guns a-blazing. And now we are stretched thin militarily, strapped financially, and we're still having the same tit for tat about troop support? So, support your troops, YES, but support the war? Fuck that!! Fuck Bush, Fuck his administration, Fuck Congress, Fuck Halliburton, Fuck Blackwater, Fuck war profiteers, Fuck Decomratic and Republican politicians, and Fuck anyone who profits off of a soldier's pain. Even if we "win" this war, it will be a Pyric victory. We will too much, and gain too little, to consider anything as a victory. But I guess if we get our gas prices back under $2 a gallon, it was all worth it. Right? But hey, this is just my opinion.....my word ain't law
