Retired Marine General John Sheehan wrote an op-ed piece in Monday's Washington Post about why he turned down the position of Iraq-Afghanistan War "Czar". The link to the article is in this entry's title. According to Sheehan the Bush Administration doesn't understand what it is doing in Iraq. This is a quote from the article: What I found in discussions with current and former members of this administration is that there is no agreed-upon strategic view of the Iraq problem or the region.
Here we are, four years into this war, and this Administration doesn't have a strategic view of the Iraq problem or the region. That is a damning indictment of Bush, Rice, and the rest of this incompetent crowd. They had no idea what they were going to do the day after they got rid of Saddam Hussein. That's why this operation has been so badly managed. The entire focus was on getting rid of Saddam. Once they had accomplished that goal. they had no idea what to do next. It was if getting rid of Hussein would magically make everything in Iraq work out. If the consequences weren't so horrible, it would be funny.

Yes, the country gone to hell. The Republicans Congress felt loyalty to Bush was more important than their loyalty to the country and its citizens. Bush "protecting" us from terrorism while the borders remain unsecured. Bush allowing border patrols to be locked up while known drug traffickers are given immunity, Drug traffickers allowed to bring in Drugs to get the whole country stoned out of their minds, Bush allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country so his friends can exploit them and "dummying" down the wages of Americans, load the judicial system with Republicans Bushies so if any Republican Bushies got caught the case would be dropped.
citizens, Bush allowing the trade deficit with China as China poison the USA citizens, We are the "richest" country in the world but yet Bush borrows money from China to wage his war of choice Iraq War. Impeach already what more does Bush has to do to get impeached? The next President will try these same stunts and have Bush fiasco as precedent "why he/she cant be impeached?
Consider other memebers of this administration who aren't getting the headlines, would you trust them? They know what is going and but choosing to remain silent. What about the firms who will hire these folks, would you trust the judgement of these firms??
On another note the DOJ, would you trust that dep[artment to do the right thing? Do they know what is right? Those attorneys who are left are they ethical, honest, and law abiding? I think not as some of them knew or know what is going on and choosing to remain silent. Isnt that complicity to the fact and after the fact?
Those attorneys, when they leave public sector and go into private practice, are they trust worthy? What you want them as your attorney? What about the firm that hires them? The firm knows the attorney history or should know the history before hiring, would you trust the judgement of the firm??
Bush and his administration needs to be IMPEACHED NOW RATHER THAN LATER.
