THOU SHALL TELL THE TRUTH
When will Bush and his fellow republicans stop denying the truth about Iraq?
Sen. John McCain condemned news out of Iraq that he said centered incorrectly on violence, stating from his surprise visit to Iraq, that Americans were not receiving a "full picture" of progress in the security crackdown in Baghdad. Mccain added that it is safe to stroll the streets in Baghdad, for he has done it. However, McCain failed to mention that he was wearing a flak jacket and did not walk alone but was escorted by over 50 fully armed soldiers.
And contrary to Bush and McCain, the violence has not declined. Here’s the grim facts on the first full month, March, of Bush and the Republicans’ security crackdown: 81 American soldiers died as compared to 83 in January and 80 in February; 1,872 Iraqi civilian deaths for the month contrasted to1,604 civilian deaths in January and 1,552 in February. The average Iraqi has less power and water after the Bush’s invasion then before. The average Iraqi only has 4 hours of electricity per day.
Iraqis continue living under a climate of fear and death. Most Iraqis would not agree with Bush and McCain’s positive comments. Iraqis are frightened to go out and about, fearful of being killed.
Bush, Cheney, McCain, and the Republicans need to stop spinning details on the Iraq war and spend more time in fulfilling the desire of most Americans in our democracy who want an end to the quagmire in Iraq.
