Declare "Victory" and Troops Home.

[patrice]

The Troops should be here implementing Homeland Security and Gaurding our Borders and helping to implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.

1. Homeland Security is wasting so much money it's making the DoD jealous.

I wouldn't assume that they'd be 'implementing' anything on the home front since that costs money that would otherwise go to more gainful purposes, such as fraud and waste.

2. All of the Corruption must be exposed so "we" can change what we can.

We Can do better.

And for le$$.

[Kagemusha]

5. We'll have to go through Jihad Joe Lieberman to get that accomplished

I fear that task is too great.

3. and what a victory it's been!!! . . .

over 3,000 American troops killed . . .

over 20,000 American troops wounded, many seriously . . .

over a half million Iraqis killed . . .

untold thousands more Iraqis wounded, many seriously (and many children) . . .

more untold thousands of Iraqis (including many professionals) having fled their country, most never to return . . .

near total annihilation of the country's infrastructure . . .

control of Iraqi oil by American corporations for decades to come . . .

construction of the largest "embassy" in the world (actually a city-state within Iraq to maintain a permanent U.S presence there) -- and permanent military bases to support that presence . . .

destruction of traditional Iraqi agriculture via Order 81, prohibiting farmers from saving their seeds and forcing them to purchase new seed each year from American corporations like Monsanto . . .

destruction of irreplacable Iraqi historic sites and other national treasures . . .

billions upon billions upon billions of American dollars paid to American corporations for "rebuilding" projects never completed -- or never even begun . . .

several TRILLION American dollars "unaccounted for" . . .

severe depletion of and damage to U.S. forces, and unconscionable misuse of reserve and National Guard troops . . .

hiring of tens of thousands of mercenaries to do jobs formerly done by U.S. troops -- and at salaries many times those of the troops themselves . . .

contamination of large areas of the country (and who knows how many Iraqis AND Americans) by depleted uranium dust . . .

near universal condemnation of and hatred for the United States all across the globe . . .

and on . . . and on . . . and on . . .

now THAT's a victory! . . .
