We get more bad news on the Iraq war. The Pentagon is planning to call up eight more National Guard units. These units will be sent to Iraq next summer. This is just another sign that Bush is not planning to withdraw our troops from Iraq anytime soon.
There have already been 185,000 soldiers of the National Guard that have served in Iraq -- with over 28,000 doing more than one tour of duty there. They have not yet named the specific units that will be called this time, but it is known to include units from North Carolina, Oklahoma, Hawaii and Illinois.
There have already been 3,829 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war (not counting those who died after being evacuated with serious injuries).
When are we going to stop this madness? Why must we send more of our finest to die in Bush's pointless occupation of Iraq?
Where are you Democrats? You were elected to put an end to this. Do it now! Stop letting Bush push you around. Defund this unwinnable war and force Bush to bring our troops home. You may not have the numbers to force a "timetable", but you do have the numbers to refuse to give Bush any more money to wage war with.
Show some political courage. Stop the war now.
