America cannot and is not and will not win
\nbut the hype goes on and on and on
\nfrom the top: “We have to win in Iraq
\nso the terrorists won’t see US as weak.”
\nand, “more US troops have to die so the ones already dead
\nwill not have died in vain.” – sound familiar?<\/p>\n
Army Lt. Ehren Watada refused to return to Iraq because
\n“As the order to take part in an illegal act is ultimately unlawful,
\nI must as an officer of honor and integrity refuse that order.”<\/p>\n
Back in the good old days America could admit mistakes,
\neven changing the constitution to correct those mistakes,
\nnow Bush would tell us some mistakes were made but
\ninstead of correcting them we will “stay the course.”<\/p>\n
The warhawks need Americans to believe
\nour all volunteer army chose to be where they are…
\nThey did not choose a lying administration
\nand when polled a Large majority would leave
\nif they could but they do not have Watada courage
\n…kinda like America’s congressmen and women
\nhave not the courage to condemn Bush & Cheney,
\ncongress people who think to hold onto their seat
\nof power…this time the question is not
\n“Who will be the last soldier to die” while politicians dicker
\nthe question is “How many Watadas need to step up
\nbefore Bush and Cheney step down?’
\nAnswer: Not so many if Americans by the numbers
\nwalked into their own state congress persons offices and demanded
\n“Stop this illegal war now!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
