The US death toll in Iraq is rising day by day. The first six months of this year is the most deadly six month period since the start of the invasion. The administration continues to tell America that the surge is working and that progress is being made. When do we get to see that progress? How do we define progress?
Many hard questions are not being answered by either the administration or the Congress. We see increasing amounts of money being spent while the death toll grows. Iraq is a broken country as a direct result of the American invasion. Civil war has broken out in most of the country. The American presence continues to aggravate the situation and offers more opportunity for the opposition forces to target our forces. No good is being served by the continued occupation of Iraq.
Congress continues to pass funding bills that allow the administration to pursue the occupation. We voters must pressure our Congressional representatives to end this futile course. Write or call today to tell Senators Biden and Carper along with Representative Castle to vote for an end to the war. Only if they begin to hear the opposition voices do we have any hope of stopping the ongoing bloodshed. We must end this war and the sooner the better.
