CAUTION - grandpa and Pmartin; the following contains fact. You may not want to read.

Timber - you don't have to be CIA, you only need to read. There is so much information coming out disspelling what we were told six months ago it's hard to keep up with sometimes. Just read.

I'll agree we need a man with courage, but that surely isn't Bush. We need someone with the courage to do the right thing. Make sound decisions based on the welfare of our nation. Not take the most powerful nation in the world and attack the weakest nation in the Middle East simply to make a point.

If Bush had real courage (moral along with integrity) he'd stand before the American people and admit he made a mistake. He'd go to the UN and work out a deal even if that meant relinquishing military command. He'd quit cowing to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Courage is not what Bush has; it's pride. Pompous, self-serving pride. And that selfish pride is killing America.

Thus far we've spent nearly 200 Billion dollars in Iraq with nothing but flag-draped coffins and increasingly global anti-American sentiments to show for it.

Imagine how far that 200 Billion would have gone towards increasing security along our borders, putting people back to work, or saving our declining salmon runs.

We should have completely finished Afganistan (which we have proof were behind 9/ll, along with Saudi) before we even thought about Iraq.
