Voting GOP Means Going Back Into Iraq With Combat Troops.

It is becoming more obvious that the GOP is thirsty for war. The GOP rhetoric s about putting pressure on Obama to commit combat troops back into Iraq. And at what cost? How many more troops will we sacrifice? And how much will the GOP want to take out of our domestic programs to pay for such action?

Everything you hear from the GOP is about doing more and leading the way. And now even GW Bush himself has said that combat troops will be needed.

The final question is that whose kids will go into such a war. Are we willing to send our treasure into a fight that the Iraqis and others themselves will not fight.
