Once again we are told to stay the course; democracy in Iraq is important for out security. If this so, if our Leader truly believes that; then why was there no plan in place for post-war Iraq? Wait a moment, there was a plan, as a matter of fact, there were several plans. Bush, Chenny and Rumesfeld made a significant and deadly decision to scrape all those plans. They were not interested in nation building, the plan was to defeat Saddam and get out. But a funny thing happened, they broke the pottery and they owned it, owned it and all the deaths of our young men since Bush made the “Mission Accomplished” statement.
Bottom-line, it was only after Bush et al was shown to be a liar by the absence of WMDs that the mission changed to nation building. Of course it was much to late in the day to develop a workable plan. So now we are stuck in a killing and maiming war. Stay the course? What course Bush and the Republicans still do not have a plan. What they want us to continue is to continue to wake up each day and hope that Iraq is a democracy. Wishing and hoping isn’t gonna cut the mustard. It just means more casket covered coffins that Bush hopes the nation doesn’t get to see.
