You disgusting people. You thoroughly disgusting people. You lie, you profiteer from the pain of others and when you fail-fail-fail you blame others for your failures. The troops have been asking for more troops, more equipment, better armored vehicles, the ability to HOLD GROUND....all that it takes TO WIN. Republicans have denied them while giving huge sums of money to PRIVATE CONTRACTORS a pile which has bloomed to around 80,000 people last I heard including many who aren't even American. I am so disgusted with the lot of you. You are nasty, incompetent and childish. Everyone now knows that you can't govern and you certainly can't win a war against a third world country less than 1/10th our size. It doesn't matter how much time you're given, you'll squander it. It doesn't matter how much money you're given, you'll steal it. It doesn't matter how much rope you're given, you'll FAIL. You're FAILURES. We're not taking responsibility for you. You own this fiasco lock, stock and barrel until the end of time. I told you Republicans would be thrilled, THRILLED to have Dems come in and clean up their mess. So here it is. Just as George is crying to Poppy for help, Republicans are crying to the Dems for help.

I'll bet you gamble until you're broke too! Your clowns had THREE YEARS, the finest military on earth, and half a trillion dollars, only to prove their incompetence. Yet, you, the koolaide-drinking idiot, think they'll WIN, if ONLY given another loan and a couple more throws of the dice!

What, exactly, do you think there is to "win" in Iraq right now, in the middle of a civil war? No one that I know scoffs at the sacrifices of the troops, rather I look on in horror at the waste of those precious lives- spent in a war that was unnecessary, and which had no realistic plan to make use of their sacrifices, and which now looks to sink us in to the middle of a civil war, and possibly a regional war. The "current plan" has to be limiting the damages of Mr. Bush's foolish and damaging Iraqi adventure. You know what makes me want to puke? Fools who send our brave military men and women in to situations that are not well thought out, with ill defined goals, and foolish shallow notions of black and white "wins" and "losses" in games that clearly aren't black and white. That's what makes me puke- the waste of human lives, and the stupidity that causes that waste.
