Bush Proves His Iraq Plan is WRONG!

Yesterday President Bush released what he claims was formerly classified information that proves that al-Qaeda in Iraq is linked to al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He then made his old argument that we can not leave Iraq until al-Qaeda in Iraq has been destroyed. As usual Bush choose to make his assertions at a military base before a captive audience.

Most intelligence and military leaders accept the link between al-Qaeda in Iraq and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan/Pakistan. It is also true that although al-Qaeda did not operate in Iraq when we invaded Iraq the fact is they are there now. Where the President’s argument breaks down is that the majority of the 160,000 U.S. Military fighting in Iraq are NOT fighting al-Qaeda. The majority, about 85-90%, is being employed in the major population areas and is in the middle of the fighting between Sunni and Shea factions in Iraq. Thus if the REAL danger, as Bush stated again yesterday, is the Foreign Terrorists like al-Qaeda, we need to END the use of American Forces in the sectarian conflict and redirect our forces to destroy al-Qaeda and other foreign terrorist elements.

That is what several of the plans coming out Congress have called for. That would enable the majority of the American Forces to be redeployed either to Afghanistan or back to the U.S. for rest and retraining. What Bush said yesterday does not justify continuing the Surge. The fight to deal with the Iraq vs. Iraq fighting must be turned over to the Iraqi military and police we have trained. It is time for Congress to force a change in our policy to insure the MAJOIRITY of our military forces are being employed against the REAL enemy in Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Iraq. We must end the involvement of American troops in the sectarian conflict in Iraq.

. Do you even read anything that is ever posted to you? We have debunked this several times over and you still post the same cut and paste nonsense.

YOU have done nothing of the sort. Tenet has confirmed the Yellow cake story was a LIE and told Bush directly it was not true. That is just what Wilson reported. I will believe Tenet and Wilson over you!

Drilling is NOT the answer. We need solutions other then OIL! Many Republicans do not want to drill in Alaska.

YES the Democrats started Social Security. It is the Baby Boomers that have caused the problem and the Bush private accounts would not only fail to solve the existing issue but would make it worse.

Social Security is solvent taday it is only the large number of Boomers that have caused the funding problem!!!!!

You are a complete Idiot. NO one stole anything. U.S. Treasury issued Bonds for the money the federal Government used from Social Security and Medicare. There is two trillion dollars Federal Reserve bonds in the Social Security Trust Fund. YOUR BOY Bush and the GOP controlled Congress used MORE of the Social Security money then ANY Democrat.

There is two trillion dollars Federal Reserve bonds in the Social Security Trust Fund.

and we are not paying these off. the demos used that money for over 40 years.

the system would have failed anyways but it would have been another 40 years if they hadn't stolen the money. i say stolen because they never intended to pay it back.

“The demos used that money for over 40 years.”

We have the SAME thing as the $9 Trillion of the National Debt. If you have an E-Bond do YOU look at that E- Bond as an ASSET? What the Social Security Trust Fund or you as a person that has invested in an E-Bond has is the PORMISE to pay of the U.S. Government. Your statement that, "you clown it was the democrats that stole the social security money over 40 years." It totally incorrect. So it is you that is the CLOWN!

Again you do not know what you are talking about. Social security is SOLVENT today when the number of people working paying taxes is about 3.5 to every person retired. That would not change if it had not been for the large number of people born after WWII. The Baby Boomers will change the demographics from 3.5 to one to about 2 to one at the height of the Boomer retirements. That is what is causing the problem and only more money will enable the system to pay the benefits to all the Boomers. After the Boomers have passed away, the number of people working compared with the retired should return to what it is today.

All we need to do is lift the cap on the income we tax for Social Security like Medicare and the Social Security problem is solved. The problem with Medicare is far more complex!
