Subject: Oops! Author: Ian [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:29:17 10/25/04 Mon 380 tons of explosives, which Saddam Hussein had previously stored with the likely intent of making a nuclear weapon, have disappeared from Al Qaqaa. The U.S. knew about it when we went in, yet armed forces were given no orders to secure it. Now they're gone, and could quite possibly be used against Allied forces. Yet again, our commander-in-chief has failed our troops and has potentially put them in serious danger. We're hearing more and more brutal stories of events going on in Iraq, and they're starting to sound more like the gruesome events John Kerry described in his testimony to Congress in the early 1970's. As I have long feared, Iraq IS turning very quickly into another Vietnam situation, in that we're in too deep to just back out, our troops don't seem to have the resources to get the job done efficiently and effectively (perhaps Kris can speak to more detail on that point), the orders given are often not working, and the commander-in-chief is stuck defending an unpopular war. Sounds like 1968 all over again in some respects. When Saddam was captured and things were going well, I was actually leaning toward a Bush reelection despite his lackluster domestic policies. I can now say that I have 180'd from that viewpoint. Do not reward faulty leadership and arrogance with re-election. Vote for John Kerry.
