In the beginning, I think our president had plans to breeze into Iraq, kill Saddam, install a puppet government and take control of the second-largest oil field on the planet. President Bush ignored the comparison of Iraq and Vietnam. He ignored those that stated that Iraq could become a quagmire just like Vietnam.
Now, several thousand troops are dead. More than 100,000 Iraqi citizens are dead. And the dead are growing every single day. This administration has failed in this war. There is no way to win this war because there is no trust or respect held for this administration by the Iraqi people. The troops we are sending are no more than placing a Band-Aid on an ax wound, and giving the bombers more U.S. targets to shoot at and blow up.
It's time to back off and let the Iraqi people work out their own differences and work for peace. The Sunni and Shiite factions hold a difference of opinions that go back more than 1,000 years. No one but themselves will ever be able to resolve this matter: It's time to get our troops out. It's time for them to come home. Thank you.
