5 Years Ago

So tonight is the grim fifth Anniversary of our occupation of Iraq. That's right occupation. We were told a few reasons why we were invading for instance we were told that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (which were proven wrong) then we were told he had ties to the attacks on 9/11 (which also were proven wrong) so here we are in an occupation that has lasted longer then the Civil War, World War I AND World War II with no end in site ESPECIALLY if by some fluke that idiot McCain slimes his way into the White House as Bush has!

So here we are now with 3990 soldiers (at last check) murdered at the hands of Bush countless wounded (the Pentagon won't release the amount) several hundred thousand Iraqi's murdered at the hands of Bush people kidnapped being tortured being held WITHOUT trials at the whim of Bush. Here we are with no end in site. Here we are suffering in a recession at no small part due to the piss poor planning of the cost of the war (remember it was only supposed to last about 6 weeks at when it started according to the stupid leader).

So here we are at record gas prices (remember gas was only about $34 dollars a barrel before the occupation of Iraq) remember we were told the oil in Iraq was supposed to pay for this war? Now Bushes friends in the oil industry are making RECORD PROFITS at the breaking of backs from the common United States Citizen. You know Halliburton (Cheney's friends) are also making big money at the hands of this occupation and they are poisoning our troops there.

So the question is is it worth it. Of course Bush and Cheney say yes. but sane people say no and believe me they are not sane and if you support the occupation you are not sane. And anyone who says you don't support the troops if you don't support the occupation are equally insane.

The other question is are we safer. That answer is a resounding no! We are constantly reminded an attack can happen at any second and Bush and Republicans always pull the fear card when they need something to their advantage.

So there you have it. Bush lied us into the occupation of Iraq and if you want more of the same disaster you will vote for McCain who says we will be there for at least 100 years.
