Surprises never cease with our great President Bush. In his State of the Union address, he stated the same mistakes we have heard over and over, especially the Iraq war. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, as well as Republicans, don’t agree with sending more troops to Iraq.
I saw on CNN News that some of our soldiers coming home from the war are totally disabled, are homeless, can’t work due to severe permanent injuries and are tired of fighting Veterans Affairs for compensation.
Seventy-six percent of Americans are angry about the economy, immigration reform and the Iraq war.
The Iraq Study Group says U.S. Iraq war policy failed. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said prison abuse scandals in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, plus other mistakes, have damaged America’s reputation. It will take work, he said, to prove the United States still is a force for good in the world.
This country needs unity. Thousands cross into the United States, establish themselves as friendly working people and then blow up a business, a school or a plane. Security doesn’t seem to be our No. 1 priority! Where were the guards recently when a stowaway was found in the wheel well of a British jet?
