Bush must be stopped
President George W. Bush next week will propose sending up to 30,000 more American soldiers to Iraq as part of a “troop surge” program to try and bolster his failed policies in that civil war-ravaged country.
His ill-conceived plan means increasing casualties for American troops in a war where the death toll topped 3,000 at year’s end along with many thousands more wounded and maimed.
As expected, the new Democratic leadership of Congress is less than thrilled with talk of troop surges and sending more Americans to die in an illegal war based on lies.
