Mr. Bush, Enlist Your Daughters To The Front Line

Merry Christmas Eve.

Mr. Bush has asked the American public to spend spend spend this holiday season, and enjoy the holiday. His Mom, Barbara, along with her husband, the former President Bush, said, be sure to drop our change in the Salvation Army's pots outside the retail stores to help the needy. I'm honestly really torn as to where I think the billions of dollars that American tax payers should go. First and foremost, I think most Americans would like to have the money stay in this country to help the poor and special needs people in this country, rather than have it poured into Iraq. I believe the last figure I heard was that we spend about 5 million a week in Iraq (Roughly). Since the US broke Iraq, I feel that the US should pay for its deeds. You broke it, you fix it.

The US President is beginning to plan a military "Surge", to add between 10,000 - 30,000 troops. As the blood of the American military nears 3,000 troop deaths, it is a mere drop in the bucket compared to what Iraqi's have suffered (Some estimate up to 600,000 deaths). The only way I will support the surge is if MR. BUSH enlists his daughters to the front line. If not, Americans need to get the hell out of there now.

The US presence is just going to increase the violence rather than quell it. The American dictator is on a power trip.

In the meantime, as we enjoy our turkey or ham dinners, death and destruction continues in Iraq. Here are today's highlights:

In Muqdadiyah _ about 55 miles northeast of the capital _ a suicide bomber killed at least seven policemen and wounded 30 at a police station. Insurgents then launched six mortar rounds.

Shortly after the suicide bombing, two roadside bombs exploded next to one another in Khanaqin, about 90 miles northeast of Baghdad, close to the Iranian border, police said. The coordinated attacks wounded 18 civilians, some seriously.

Have a nice evening.
