People Rule

At least, in a democracy, the will of the people must be followed. 62% of Americans now believe the Iraqi occupation was a mistake; in 1973, 60% of Americans said that the Vietnam war was a mistake. What's going to happen now? People are dying every day. Iraqis are suffereing a great loss, only to be repeated the next day. And the Democrats, swept into Congress pretty much on anti-Iraq occupation sentiments, must now solve this issue. If they don't, they again have failed the American people but they haven't even been sworn in yet so I'll wait and see. Now Bush Inc is going to tell the American people their new plan for Iraq in January, bumped from later this month. I bet you any money that they are going to send more troops and repeat the same taling points about our "troops standing down when the Iraqis stand up". The only thing I'll miss this time around will be that tiny catchphrase, slogan, "Stay The Course". Their idea of a timeline is leaving this botched occupation to the next President which is a sickening thought. Now Shrub is talking to his different groups, the State Department, the Defense Department, after the scorthcing Iraq Study Group released their findings. I'm sure that the cronies will be impartial about the same old, same old. Regardless of what the spin is, everyone is looking at the Democrats now to see what they are going to do. Now anything they pass with the word "timeline" in it will be vetoed by Bush Inc; all of a sudden he'll find that veto pen that has made its way onto the floor. So we'll need the help and support of the Repukes if we have any chance of overriding that veto. Yes, grim, but the Repukes have to, at some point, acknlowdge the need for a timeline. The People have spoken. Will our servants listen?
