Another Thousand Lives: BOB HERBERT ; Democrats support Bush troop escalation By BOB HERBERT - The New York Times Thu Jan 4, 2007
HERBERT: We should end our participation in the feast of death in Iraq. --> OP-ED COLUMNIST Another Thousand Lives By BOB HERBERT Published: January 4, 2007 How long can this go on? Saddam is dead. The weapons of mass destruction were a mirage. More than 3,000 American G.I.s and scores of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Voters in the United States have made it clear that they no longer support American involvement in this exercise in sustained barbarism. Incredibly, the U.S. military itself is turning against the war. And yet the president, against the counsel of his commanders on the ground, apparently is ready to escalate to send more American lives into the fire he set in Iraq. In a devastating critique of the war, the newsweekly Army Times led its current edition with the headline: About-Face on the War After 3 years of support, troops sour on Iraq. The article detailed a Military Times Poll that found, for the first time, that more troops disapprove of the presidents handling of the war than approve of it. Only a third of the service members surveyed approved of the presidents conduct of the war, while 42 percent disapproved. Perhaps worse was the finding that only half of the troops believed that success in Iraq was likely. --MORE-- http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/01/another-thousand-lives-bob-herbert.html Key Senate Democrats support Bush troop escalation http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/01/key-senate-democrats-support-bush-troop.html Fox News on Bush: He snorts, the cocaine decides (UPDATED) http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/367 Nixon Vowed to 'Ruin Foreign Service' ; Intelligence czar leaving post to go to State http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/01/nixon-vowed-to-ruin-foreign-service.html And More http://mparent7777.blogspot.com/ New website http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/ Alternate website with unique articles MARC PARENT CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS mparent7777 mparent CCNWON __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
