Call this war what it is (rewrite)

Backpedal all you want, Republicans. The truth of the matter is that this war is a waste of money, resources and lives. American’s have a hard time counting the thousands of lives they’ve taken needlessly from Iraq, but they can always think of their own. It’s all about the troops.

The Bush Administration still has a hard time defining what we’re involved in as a civil war. This is because that terminology reminds citizens directly of Vietnam. And we don’t want the citizens thinking, do we?

John McCain used the word “wasted” to describe the lives spent in the Iraq War on Thursday, February 28, 2007. It’s kind of sad that John McCain has to backpedal under pressure. Even more sad is that Democrats won’t just agree. No, instead they play politics as usual by issuing demands of apology. The sentiment would be better served if we just called this war what it was. Worse yet, McCain is announcing his candidacy for President in 2008…all the while telling the public that he supports Bush and (t)his mindless war. Hmmm…is this a flip flop or is this just another bunch of tripe we can’t trust? Since he immediately went back to his original statement, I’d say the latter.

We haven’t accomplished anything in Iraq. We have no business in Iraq. We should leave Iraq.

It’s time that politicians told some kind of truth. Especially Republicans.
