"And now they want to send us back, and keep sending us back, and for what?

This is not the story about this war that Bush will tell us tonight, a war that makes Vietnam look as clearly defined as World War II in comparison. This is a soldier's story, and not just his story, but one so many come back telling, one that so many soldiers and National Guardsmen and reservists come back telling. In Iraq, the best and bravest kids are both shocked and awed over how badly their superiors bungled this thing, almost from the start.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," the soldier from upstate New York says. "You want to put me back in uniform and march me back into Baghdad, then you've got to do better than our President has in telling me why, telling me what this month's plan is, what our goals really are. Because those have never been defined, not for the people on the ground, and for that I don't believe I can continue to support this lunacy."

This isn't some politician talking, one like Cheney, who set world records for draft deferments during Vietnam and now wants to fight the whole world. This isn't some war-loving television or radio yahoo who has never served a day of active duty in his life. This is an American soldier who believed the men who sent him there but no longer believes enough in those same people to let them send him back.

"I love my country, and that's why I'm so torn up over this," he says. "Because I know that if I don't go then someone else will go in my place. I believe in defending my country. I HAVE defended my country. I believe in America. But I no longer believe that fighting this war is helping any of that."

I HATE the neo cons so bad.

us all.

It congress can not stop him, I do not know who can. And it looks like they can not at this point.

And the Repukes and the MSM should be made to apologize to our splintered soldiers.

So Dubya can impress daddy, Cheney can get rich enough to get a real heart and the idiots can prove they are not sutpid. All useless endeavors.

chasing a losing streak trying to make the big score.

Most telling quote from Mike Lupica's story: ""Let me ask you a question," the soldier says. "When we finally come down from this 'surge,' do you think the families of the 28,000 Iraqis who died alone will forget who started this war?"

supporters, have done to it and the world.
