Iraq Is an Insurgent Training Ground

The initial invasion of Iraq was pushed by President Bush as a reaction to threats from within the country and the presence of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since that invasion the facts have come forth. There was no imminent threat from Iraq and there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction. Iraq has disintegrated into a mass of insurgent activity. The insurgents are uncontrolled in much of the country today whether American forces are present or not. The continued presence of American troops provides an insurgent training ground which did not exist before the invasion.

Congress continues to vote in favor of the occupation at the expense of both American lives and the American treasury. He needs to take a better look at this failing course and change his mind. The citizens of this country deserve better leadership and real representation. Let Congressman Castle know today what you think. Silence will not bring any changes. Only by letting our voices be heard loud and clear do we have any chance of bringing about a new direction for the country.
