Finally someone has the guts to call Bush mentally unstable

[Guest Joe]

Editorial in the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for July 15, 2007:

 

 

The War in Iraq

 

Perhaps Jack Murtha put it best: The Pennsylvania congressman, among the

first to make the cogent argument that staying the course in Iraq was

the exercise in futility that indeed the war has become, says President

Bush is delusional.

 

Based on the president's recent performance, we could not agree more.

"Staying the course" is not simply futile -- it is a prescription for

American suicide.

 

We've urged for months to bring our troops home. Now is the time.

 

"Progress" has become such a nuanced, parsed and tortured term that it

no longer has meaning.

 

The "fledgling" Iraqi government -- how long can it reasonably be called

that? -- consistently has not stepped up to the plate.

 

President Bush warns that U.S. withdrawal would risk "mass killings on a

horrific scale." What do we have today, sir?

 

And quite frankly, during last Thursday's news conference, when George

Bush started blathering about "sometimes the decisions you make and the

consequences don't enable you to be loved," we had to question his

mental stability.

 

If the president won't do the right thing and end this war, the people

must. The House has voted to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by April.

The Senate must follow suit.

 

Our brave troops should take great pride that they rid Iraq of Saddam

Hussein. And they should have no shame in leaving Iraq. For it will not

be, in any way, an exercise in tail-tucking and running.

 

America has done its job.

 

It's time for the Iraqis to do theirs.

I agreed with everything until I got to these two lines. America didn't

do its job. We're either directly or indirectly responsible for

hundreds of thousands of people being killed and the near total

destruction of their infrastructure so the media could show us "shock

and awe."

 

"Shock and awe" will go down in history as a war crime.

 

Colin Powell warmed Bush that if he breaks it, he must fix it. Instead

of fixing things, he continues to make things worse. Is this what they

mean when they say America did its job?

 

And finally, since the greatest military ever created can't stop what's

going on, does anyone with half a brain cell think Iraqis can do it?

 

The war is lost because it should have never been fought. The war is

lost because we tried to do it on the cheap (cutting taxes instead of

raising taxes) and the war is lost because we didn't have enough

soldiers in Iraq. But most of all, the war is lost because it was always

an unjust war and unjust wars are impossible to defend in a democracy.
