Should we "Cut and Run"? 
That is what Joshua Russert of Seattle said in his Sunday, Mary 25 letter to the editors of the Seattle Times.
A series of clichés is all this empty-headed Administration can offer now. You know them all. "We can't cut and run." "We must finish the job." "We must win the war."
The latest poll of March 28 reveals that 59 percent of U.S. citizens say get out of Iraq now, while only 37 percent want to (using another worn out cliché) "stay the course."
It was the weapons of mass destruction hoax, cunningly media orchestrated. Anyone who was against the rush into the Iraq War could be considered unpatriotic.
The 3-word fright cliché someone invented backfired miserably. The shock was the U.S. being duped by its own leaders into a bloody debacle on falsehoods, dramatically delivered, the awe was how quickly the world watched Iraq's infrastructure collapsing and the horrifying end result brought about the most tragic exodus of any nation.
One million Iraqis fled to Syria, 750,000 to Jordan, 55,000 to Iran and 7,000 are slated to arrive on U.S. soil.
No need to go to horror movies. You have the most deadly TV nightly news every single day. Move over Hollywood. Look what Washington funded. We listen to a loser leader, Senator John McCain, lost in a time warp dramatically declare, "The worst thing we could do now is to set any time line."
What is needed is an immediate impeachment investigation.
Can the so-called Christian nation dare continue defending what Bush and Cheney are doing? Is launching an unneeded war in Iraq, with a latest estimate revealing a million Iraqi deaths, along with 3,500 U.S. service personnel and 55,000 combatatants and non-combatants wounded, worse than an oral sex act performed in the oval office?
Apparently the twisted morals of confused individuals think illicit sex is worse than the pain, anguish, and suffering all the dead and wounded. This is the conclusion apparently reached by the God fearing born again Christians who support Bush and Cheney with unflagging zeal.
No matter how many airplanes, naval ships, and nuclear weapons the U.S. possesses, if the nation lacks a clear moral vision it has lost world wide response and most certainly lacks the very divine direction that the vociferous, Bible pounding, self-righteous Bush zealots so ardently proclaim they seek.
Now and then look at the Ten Commandments. Certainly "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is one of them. But the Commandments "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" and "Thou shalt not kill" stand as grim reminders of where breaking these eternal admonitions has taken us.
