End the Occupation of Iraq Today

Four long years and some months ago America was led into the invasion of Iraq by President Bush and the Republican controlled Congress. Since that time Congress has continued to vote in support of the ongoing occupation in spite of all indications Iraq is a failing country. The losses in terms of dollars and lives (both American and Iraqi) are rising daily. The situation in Iraq is worse now than ever before. Given the fact there was no imminent threat from Iraq at the time of the initial invasion both the original invasion and the current occupation can only be seen as illegal and immoral.

We need a change in this country today. We need a final timetable for full American withdrawal from Iraq. We need to replace those politicians who continue to support the war. Change cannot come soon enough. Too many have died and too much is lost. We all must work to end the war as soon as possible. No other course is acceptable any longer.
