Bush's Speech about Iraq

Let's face it - I don't trust him. I don't trust anything he says and I don't believe anything he says.

The "draw down" of troops just means that the troops scheduled to come home (unless he extends the tour of duty again) will be coming home - for a couple of weeks at least.

The military is over extended - not just in Iraq. There's Europe, the Pacific, Antarctic, Arctic, UN forces, and so much more. We are NOT the world's policeman, and I've heard that argument several times before. However, we always seem to get drawn in. Now we have to send folks to Darfur, too. Where are these troops (people, soldiers, individuals, sons and daughters) to come from????

Getting shot at is not a guarantee of a college education. It's better to run up debt and then go into service stateside as a teacher or working with at risk populations here at home. At least your body will remain whole! And your life and blood won't be wasted in a desert on the other side of the world for people who don't want us there in the first place.

The political problems of Iraq are not our problems. Yeah, if Bush hadn't stepped in, the discussions and problem would never have been in the first place, but hey - THEY NEED TO GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND WORK FOR PEACE IN THEIR COUNTRY THEMSELVES. It's not our job.
