Bringing Troops Home

Since the amazing overturn of Americans voting democrat the democratic leaders of the senate have vowed to use their obvious outnumbering to the repubican party to decrease the amount of troops fighting in Iraq. In other words they'll be pushing for reduction and bringing many soldiers back. As many republicans have believed in the past that more soldiers dying in Iraq was a much better plan, many are not thrilled.

Although Bush is doing a semi good job of pretending to be on board by stating he is open not only to "fresh ideas" but a "fresh look".

If I were Bush, I'd want a fresh look too.

As for the ideas, well god knows a puppet can't really come up with any new ideas in the first place.

Republican Senator John McCain has said that it is true the current situation is bad in Iraq but to decrease American soldiers would make the situation even more chaotic.

I'm not really a fan of John McCain, I think he is a kiss ass and a liar.

He also believes that any sort of signal to the Iraqi people that American soldiers were being sent back and that the army was smaller would basically erupt into America getting it's rear kicked to the curb by the Middle East.

Well, yes.

There would be a problem, but there already is a problem! There are quite a few actually. Why are we risking so many lives in this war that obviously has no end?

Let's go over some major American wars here:

World War One: Necessary. Horrible outcome for American soldiers but yes actually necessary.

World War Two: Necessary. Also bad outcomes for many, many people but a huge amount of patriotism from America towards their soldiers...unlike World War One.

Vietnam: Necessary? Not really. However, every single soldier that fought in that war I have the utmost respect for. War is a terrible thing. Some of the soldiers felt they were doing the right american thing others were drafted and didn't have a choice. The news coverage though during the war was incredible. The fact that Americans could watch their T.V. and see what was actually going on is such a weird thought when you think about this war now. You could see murder, and put faces to unimaginable acts. People in pain. People crying. It was stark reality in all of its shock.

Now this war, it isn't World War Three because who else is involved? Who else was ignorant enough to get involved? No one. We have a war that is even less necessary than Vietnam but we have very little honest coverage of the war itself. It's shocking how many people really don't care or have any knowledge of this war. As for injuries we're right up there with World War One again. Some of the worst injuries and damages to lives happened in that war. Many soldiers were homeless afterward. Brain damaged and mutilated. Many are from this war. In fact the amount of PTS disorder is shocking. Why are we ruining so many lives? For a war that is not necessary, or truthful, but with an outcome of so much damage to Americans?

It just does not make sense.

As for why Harry Nilsson is sitting on top of this blog. I'm in a Harry mood. Well, I'm usually in a Harry mood. So they'll be much Harry this week. Enjoy Harry!
