Snow job

What President Bush is giving the American people is another snow job by pouring another 20,000 troops into Iraq. He unilaterally started the war and Vice President Dick Cheney joined in to give contracts to Republican donors, using other people's children to achieve their ends. Where are the Bush and Cheney children? This is the Bush-Cheney war. This surge is nothing more than a trickle and is doomed to failure because it is dependent on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's promise to rein in Shiite militias, which he has not done. We are caught in the middle of a civil war. Bush is asking the American people to believe in the tooth fairy. The only hope of the American people is for the new Congress to exercise control of American foreign policy. Walter Gollub, Voorhees - January 20, 2007
