"The huge facility, called Al Qaqaa, was supposed to be under American military control but is now a no man's land, still picked over by looters as recently as Sunday. United Nations weapons inspectors had monitored the explosives for many years, but White House and Pentagon officials acknowledge that the explosives vanished sometime after the American-led invasion last year," The New York Times stated Monday.
Further proof the American occupation has made the region less safe. What do
the Republicans think about this? What is the convienent rationale today? Has Rush Limbaugh issued any talking points to deflect a perceived weakness?
This development could lead to a potential massacre and it appears as if the negligence of our leadership is responsible for this revelation. How many soldiers will be blown to pieces before the conservative half of the American people are willing to admit that their policies are ridiculous and their goals unattainable?
It's easy for conservatives to talk about "staying the course;" it's another thing to be stuck on the ground in Iraq bearing the brunt of an insurgency that has more momentum than we have answers.
Young conservatives who support our foreign policy should sign up to fight, because it isn't fair to the men and women struggling to stay alive on the ground to have to suffer the consequences of a clueless administration that is riding on empty promises and false optimism.
Young Republicans who support Bush and Iraq need to walk their talk. To support the war and duck military duty is the definition of hypocrasy.
