Troops are dying in Iraq for the Republican Party.

They are sacrificing the troops so they can maintain a political issue. It's not about the "war on terror" It's not about them following us over here if we leave. It's not about "democracy". It is about the political fortunes of George W Bush and the Republican Party. That is awful to say or to believe but I just said it and I believe it. Our troops are dying for the Republican Party.

2. Fact.

Not extremist rhetoric, no spin, not figurative speech, not symbolic, not biased rant, not a metaphor.

Just a plain hard fact.

P.S. While China laughs all of the way to the bank and will be even more delighted if we hamstring ourselves with an attack on Iran also.

9. And they don't really care how many die so long as...

...they stay in power and they can use the war as a political "issue".

4. No, they are dying in Iraq for the barons and the corporations whose

political operatives are in the Republican Party. These barons and corporations bought the PNAC Plan from you know who - and it happens that the planners are all in the Republican Party, but are aided by some Democratic leaders.

5. AND what many fail to notice are the number of "dems"

who are complicit, criminally so, if you
hold them to their oathes.
It is not a REPUBLICAN or DEMOCRATIC issue-
it is a CORPORATE profiteering issue.
Both Dems and Repubs are owned by
the multi national corporate thugs. Therefore, the
ominous lack of opposition, from either party, to the decisions
that are destroying this country.

8. Why doesn't he go, then?

I don't see him offering to go and defend his country against the evil-doers.
