Democrats Should call for UN to take over in Iraq, US to Concentrate Here
Our National Guard and Troops are needed here at home to restore safety for our citizens who are still trapped in the devastated areas. They will also be needed for the massive rebuilding efforts. In addition, we will need all our available economic resources to rebuild New Orleans, Biloxi and the other storm damaged parts of Lousianna, Mississippi and Alabama. Military personel can provide important medical services including emergency sanitation, road repair, utility repair etc. Halliburton can come back home to fix OUR oil rigs and refineries.

The very best foreign aid we could ask for right now would be a multilateral UN Peacekeeping force made up of muslim or non-Christian member nation troops to help keep the peace in Iraq and ensure a peaceful transition to a stable government, freeing the United States government to do what it needs to do at home.

I strongly urge Democratic leaders to call upon the UN to help the US out in our hour of need and to ask that the administration accept this assistance. (It isnt as if the US is ever going to see a drop of Iraqi oil).

2. I can't imagine any UN troops....
UN Nations will never send troops to a mess like Iraq.

4. It's a great idea, BUT the UN doesn't have any troops!
They depend on all the member nations to provide them, and guess who has the most????

5. And abandon all that noble cause oil? How can we honor the dead?
What about our investment in all those permanent military bases in Iraq? We must stay the course!

8. But what about the oil?
Call them all to act now and get off their butts!!!!

The immediate resignation and forced incarceration of all senior officers!

My letter below, related to high crimes and misdemeanors
Dear Congress,
It is high time to begin discussing impeachment and calling on the Bush Administration for their full resignation beginning with President Bush.

As the evidence piles up and the documents below show, we were lied into an illegal war by the President, and Congress was coerced into funding the project so that we could obtain oil and gain back the fossil fuels which we so depend on.

I call upon all congress members to act, and not put this off by beginning with signing the resolution of inquiry. http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/902

In our doctrine called the constitution it outlines that a
1)President and their staff may be impeached if the violations meet the criteria of high crimes and misdemeanors

This would meet the entire requirement, for lying the whole country into a war that was completely for self gain. But not only lying the country and paying congress to go along with that war, but also misplacing all of our national guard forces into Iraq and gutting funding for FEMA which could have prevented the holocaust disasters on the Southern Border from Mississippi to Alabama.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-050831corps-story,1,2364215.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true

This funding for FEMA and the disaster relief was cut and gutted, by the Bush Administration after Congress attempted to re-enforce the measures. Why did this happen? So we could waste time in a completely illegal war!!!!!!!

And the cost of it all? One hundred thousand and counting citizens dead! And more on the way, which meets the requirement of deriliction of DUTY. Congress must act and immediately seek remedy to the situation by calling for resignations and introducing formal inquiries to impeachment.

No other acceptable turn of action can be prescribed. We went into war over false flag terror and come out with nothing but rising gas prices, and only half of the oil which the war was really about! This will not stand, and we are NEVER going to LET it stand!
Sincerely,
Mark
