The Iraq Occupation.

Just a reminder.

We're still there and people are still dying.

Apparently not newsworthy anymore.

And it is pathetic....

Yeah, I remember that one now.

Kind of like Afghanistan.

and missing emails
and the Attorney General thing
and Abu Gharib
and Guantanamo
and missile defense systems
and climate change
and job loss to other countries
and food safety
and infrastructure dilapidation
and health care
and voting fraud
and Katrina
and
and
and...

then you'd grab some attention.

"How We End This War.

It matters to our soldiers, it matters to the Iraqis, and it matters to America's future security. As I said before, I don't want my son, a captain in the Army, going to Iraq, but he will go, if called. But I also don't want my grandson going. How we leave will determine whether my grandson goes. So far this President has offered absolutely no political solution to Iraq. None.

The question is, Do we continue to send our kids into the middle of a meat grinder based on a policy that is fundamentally flawed? These are our sons, our daughters, not somebody else's--all of ours. These are the people. These are the kite strings upon which our whole national ambition is lifted aloft. What are we doing? What are we doing? We are spending $10 billion a month in Iraq, and I get push-back for wanting to spend $20 billion to build these vehicles? I find it obscene.

Every day we delay is another life lost.

The war in Iraq must end. That is what the American people want. And that is where America's interests lie.

I conclude by saying that in Congress we have a tremendous responsibility to turn the will of the American people into a practical reality. It is long past time we meet this responsibility head on, and it is long past time our Republican colleagues join us in what I believe they know to be right--forcing this President to radically change course in Iraq.

I yield the floor." - Senator Joseph Biden

Is that still the case?

is waiting for orders. You can be sure that those orders will be for Iraq (or Afghanistan).
