Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI) and the Iraq Summer Campaign are placing pressure on Rep. Jean Schmidt in Ohio's 2nd congressional district over her Iraq policy.
Four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight others injured when U.S. Air National Guard Major Harry SCHMIDT, dropped a laser-guided 500 lb bomb from his F-16 jet fighter on the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry conducting a night firing exercise near Kandahar. Schmidt was charged with negligent manslaughter, aggravated assault, and dereliction of duty. He was fined nearly $5,700 in pay and was reprimanded. The Canadian dead received US medals for "bravery," but no apology.
They can't even collect the trash, and keep the power on longer than 4 hours a day in Baghdad. If you can't keep the lights on, you don't have any freaking business. This war was lost when George Bush decided to invade, and Wolfy sent the Iraqi Army running into the arms of the insurgency. Our bravest are dying for an unwinnable war of attrition against the people who live there for gods sake.
The economic sectors in Iraq include the agricultural, infrastructure, banking and energy. Iraq has the manpower, access to foreign capital and natural resources to create a flourishing business environment. What's evolving is a workable tax system, an organized legal and regulatory framework, a reformed, transparent banking sector and adequately paid bureaucracy. What's hindering development is the emboldening rhetoric coming from the American Democrats in support of Iran and Al Qaeda.
At the least these "kooks" have actual statistics to back up their claims! The truly ignorant are the pro-war politicians who keep saying we need to "finish the mission," but can't seem to define what that mission is, despite years of actually carrying out the so-called mission! It's way past time that we demand accountability from our representatives.
is it just me, or do all of these anti-war kooks sound dumb as rocks? "and umm...some of the people in her..umm..uhhh..district...uhhhhh" they just sound ignorant as hell

"...emboldening rhetoric coming from the American Democrats in support of Iran and Al Qaeda."
Wow that's a nice blanket description that can be applied to any opinion that isn't lock step with Bush now isn't it?

Col. Dean Smittle (Ret) doesn't seem to understand the many different proposals on the table. As for chaos, what do we have now?
