Now that the surge is working so well, we can tell by the fact that it is pissing off the folks in Iraq, can we bring the troops home? Maybe Bush could use the same exit strategy he used for Vietnam?

Our world has since 9/11 become one of subterfuge and increasing fear. The Bush Administration clearly lied to the American public about the reasons for going to war. Since the declaration that weapons of mass destruction were located in Iraq, none have been found. A catastrophic waste of money, and the American people were betrayed.
Report thisThe battle must be waged on a humanitarian front. As Americans, we need a leader who will recognize that war is not the salve to put on the wound that was created when 3,000 Americans died in New York. Poverty creates the terrorists and militants that continually emerge from the woodwork on a daily basis killing innocent people and our soldiers. In order to fight the war on terror, we need America to take off the war paint and put on our gloves. If we eliminate, through humanitarian efforts, the grounds for terrorism; our world can return be a safer place for all to live . The war needs to fought in a new way, and that we won’t stand for losing another Iraqi’s life or another brave American soldier. Not one more. End it now. There is another way to win.

Hey everyone, see the “surge” really is working. Way to go Georgie, Dickie and Karl and a list of co-conspirators too numerous to mention.
