I lean Democratic… but what do they STAND for, what is there position, if it’s not clear to me, it’s not clear to others… Make it Plain

By Bruce H, Scroggins

I was feeling sort of an unease, ever sense the Republican Iraq sham and shame vote went down yesterday in the House 11/18/2005, seeing all the fake fawning and over the top butt kissing, was strange some how to me, and anti-climatic.

I was waiting on the position of a party out of power, to stand up and make their position plain, so as the main stream, who today are dissatisfied with the present leadership of our country, someone with a clear and cogent plan for true leadership would get the votes of nearly 65% of the American electorate, hands down.

But all that happened was Congressional make-up-sex. But we all know the back stabbers were stealthily lurking with in this mutual love hate fest, it all made we want to take a bath.

And being I lean Democratic, I’ am ready for a true Democratic leader to stand up and say, I’ve done my due diligence, and I have clear plan to lead, and it includes, not just the war, but this Nations direction as well, but it never happened, even the man of the hour, Jack Murtha, or the object of the love, hate fest, that evening even he tried to soften a few of his words. And I quote, and not exactly, “I like Cheney, he was a good secretary of defense,” I held my mouth, I was gonna spew.

And as some of the Democrats have been so found of saying since the Kerry campaign, “we can do better,” well what dose that mean, what is the substance behind this cavalier statement, I ask this question at this time, because at this time, the main stream is looking for some thing better, but neither party seems to get it.

Bush is right, Clinton laid the groundwork for regime change, but the way Bush went about, talking/lying/twisting/sexing up/fixing the details, too America and Congress forgoing to war, it was flawed from the start, and deeply deceptive, and misleading. And Bush went in not just for WMD’s, we all know Bush's focus changed quickly, when it appeared they were not going to be found, and the regime change became the new mantra, along with instituting a democratic style government, he also all along, had plans to make a lot of people richer, all while doing this insertion of Democracy, as a stabilizing government in the Middle East.

Now we know Bush & Cheney have bungled and dragged out reconstruction, and training of the guts of this government, he says, we’ll stand down when they stand up, or some such nonsencial mess, well it’s time to STAND them on their feet, and step back, it’s time for Iraqi’s to take the lead, in fighting terror in Iraq, America has it’s own war on terror, and were not going to keep dying for Iraq’s war on terror.

And America has no strategy; we cannot just cut on Run, or Quit and leave, we need a plan an exit strategy, some thing Bush & Cheney never thought of because they believed this was going to be war for all time until every terrorist was killed or dead, and America should know that’s a plan for a thousand year war.

There is no way to kill every terrorist, that’s like saying your going to kill all of the communist in the world, it’s not going to happen, and that’s why when Bush and Cheney say we’ve got to stay the course in Iraq… no we don’t, we have to have a planned exit from this Iraqi’s war on terror,

War on terror in Iraq, is Iraq's WAR on TERROR, yes America's bungling brought the terrorist into Iraq, and yes they have a foot hold, and yes Bush & Cheney miss-calculated badly, in the planning for the war. But Bush, Cheney, and Congress had no plan,until Murthakick started the talk of the end of this mess. I hear today that General Casey has offered a plan to get the troops out.

And I heard a House Representative say, or ask, whom do you negotiate with? And in war there’s only so many results in war, you can win, or lose, you can retreat or surrender and you can negotiate your why out, but you ask who do you negotiate with, I want to pose an answer he forgot in this conflict… how about negotiating with the Iraqi people, now there’s a thought, how’s about we let them fight for the Democratic government, how’s about Iraq get out front for the Country, and give America a break, there free to choose there course, which way are you going to go, Iraq has got to STAND UP or LAY DOWN, there is no other choices.

And my final word for America, the main stream is in a mood to chose a leader. a plan a course, Congressional leaders must not choose the failed courses of the past, we can not stay the course, we cannot just stop and leave, we are in the choosing mood, so step up and show leadership, or sit down and SHUT UP.
