Between a Rock And A Hard Place

I have been totally negligent in my duty and for that I apologize. I have been so wrapped up in my own personal world that I have not devoted enough time to bashing this administration. It looks like Americans may finally be waking up from a long sleep of illusion that the war in Iraq had anything to do with the reasons we invaded that country. Apparently a Washington Post/ABC News poll report shows that support for the war in Iraq is waning and in a big way. A majority of people are even saying that the war in Iraq isn't helping the security in the US. No shit! I wonder what made these people's neurons suddenly fire and put 2 and 2 together? All I can say is that it took long enough! Let's look at the numbers, shall we?

• Over $170 Billion dollars in costs (It was only supposed to cost $50 billion. Talk about cost overruns!!)
  
• Over 1800 US and UK troops killed (Over 12,000 wounded. The majority occurred after Bush declared the war was over!)
  
• Over 22,000 Iraqi civilians (non-insurgent) killed (The news never mentions these numbers)
• 238 attacks on Iraqi Pipelines since the beginning of the war.
  

And of course the list goes on and on. Ladies and gentlemen, we are in an impossible situation. We can't stay and we can't leave. What do we do now?! I don't propose to have the answers but it does pain me that a lot of good people are loosing their lives and livelihood for...? I'm not even sure!! Maybe one of you has the answer to why we are there and how we can get out. If you do please send your recommendations to the White House care of Dick Cheney. We need to go right to the top with this. No time messing around with underlings!
