News reports and various analyses of the situation in Iraq paint a worsening scenario with little or no hope on the horizon. The British have been defeated in Basra leaving the province in the control of Shiite and extremist Islamic groups. In Baghdad the police and local military forces are unable to bring even a modicum of peace to large areas of the city. The American military controls the Green Zone but most parts of the remainder of the country are out of control.
As the violence continues to escalate and the situation spirals out of control President Bush seems either unable or unwilling to accept the facts. His continued posture of “we will stay until we finish the job” is no longer acceptable. The price in American dollars and US lives is much too high. We each and every one should insist upon full and immediate withdrawal of our forces as soon as possible. Otherwise we will remain on hand to witness further escalation of violence and a worsening situation.
