Memo to the GOP: The Iraq War is NOT to be used a Political Point!
[Political Byline] If John McCain uses this misguided war in Iraq, the one that was started using bad intelligence, the one that has taken the lives of 4000+ young people, all so George W. Bush could achieve his rather warped goal, as some sort of cheap political stunt or point, it will be the death knell of his Presidential Campaign.

OPEM BORDERS PROVE ~ WAR ON TERROR IS A GAWD DAMN "LIE"!!!
[ILLEGAL ALIEN GANGS ARE TAKING OVER AMERICA!!!] Bush refuses to seal our borders and ports proves that whatever else he thinks he is accomplishing in Iraq, he is disingenuous when he proclaims that he is fighting a "war on terror." (Again, the country that had the closest connections to the 9/11 terrorists was Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. If fighting the terrorists was the focus, why did Bush not attack Saudi Arabia?)

“ISRAEL DIDN’T PUSH FOR IRAQ WAR”
[Desertpeace] This is an obvious truth, but is trying to mislead the readers into thinking Israel told the US to spare Iraq and focus on Iran. In reality, Israel wanted the Iraq war to be won decisively, so that Iraq could be used as a stepping stone to attack Iran and Syria in a pincer movement since both these regimes would then be effectively surrounded by the neo-con’s colonial army of imperial occupation.

Iraq bill in House; activists restive
[The Swamp] "The restrictions on Bush's war policy, including a timeline to withdraw troops, anti-torture provisions, a ban on permanent bases and new troop training and readiness requirements would represent the most significant restriction on President Bush's war policy since the war began in 2003. In addition, the investment in vital domestic priorities - including enhanced educational benefits for veterans - represents the type of rebalancing of critical national priorities which we have been arguing for and which President Bush abandoned in favor of spending $12 billion a month on a failed war effort in Iraq.
