CITIZEN ALERT v1.34
COURAGE?
The Bush administration has come out in force defending their invasion of Iraq, and the conditions that worsen everyday.
From MSNBC, Bush declared he would not let Americans’ frustration with the war deter him from finishing the job in Iraq (very democractic of him) and that “If we lose our nerve and leave the Middle East before the job is finished, the world will be much worse off."
Rumsfeld also has come out punching as more and more people blame him for how bad everything is on the ground for our troops. He told an audience Tuesday that critics of the war were lacking the courage to fight back.
It sickens me that the chickenhawks in the Bush administration are going to lecture us on what nerve and courage are. It doesn't take an ounce of courage to stand in your air conditioned office and send a bunch of 20 year olds across the world into a desert of 125 degree heat everyday waiting to be blown up by the next IED.
They are no more courageous than the theocrats of Iran who sent suicide brigades into battle with Iraq, or Osma Bin Laden and the Taliban leaders telling their followers to martyr themselves while they fled to Pakistan, or the Lord's Resistance Army of Uganda marching into gunfire behind a line of 10 year old children.
