Does the Bush Administration Want War or Peace? 
The Seattle Times answered that question in its March 12 front page story about the sudden resignation of Admiral William Fallon, head of the U.S. Central Command, who oversaw wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The story concerning this abrupt resignation is captioned as follows: "Fallon seen as Bush policy critic. Admiral's resignation comes as U.S. plans course in Iraq, he urged diplomacy with Iran."
The choice is clear, diplomacy or more death, destruction and debt. The Washington, D.C. article continued:
"The resignation of Navy Adm. William `Fox' Fallon, head of U.S. Central Command, comes at a critical time - a month before highly anticipated recommendations for the future of U.S. involvement in Iraq - and amid a debate among top military commanders over American deployments in the region."
USA Today on March 12 had a headline story on Iraq:
"RASH OF ATTACKS FOLLOWS 60% DROP OVERALL SINCE JUNE.
"Baghdad - Violence killed at least 42 people Tuesday including 16 bus passengers after the deadliest day in six months."
The patience about Iraq Bush talks about is puzzling.
With over a million Iraqis estimated dead, Iraqi infrastructure demolished and slowly rebuilding, 2 ½ million Iraqis having fled for their lives to Syria, Iran and Jordan causing tremendous problems for the entire Middle East. It isn't patience, Mr. Bush, it is outrage brought to the Middle East costing over 4,000 service personnel's death and 55,000 combatants and non-combatants wounded and for what?
The skyrocketing debt is approaching a sky high $10 trillion.
Does the U.S. want war or peace?
That is the question! The voters in the 2006 election spoke loud and clear. They wanted peace. They voted for Democratic congressional representatives, apparently under an illusion that their Democratic representatives would allow their wish for peace to be fulfilled.
Defying democracy showed vividly what horrifying hypocrites their voted-for representatives were.
Every demand for more billions to fund the Iraq War debacle was granted.
When Clinton was president and had sex in the oval office billions were spent on the overall effort, with a fervent full court press being leveled by Ken Starr and his committee before admitted sexual philanderers such as Republican stalwarts Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde and Robert Livingston could point fingers of "shame" at Clinton for lying about philandering under oath.
Bush, who now has the lowest popularity ratings in U.S. presidential history, launched the Iraq War, killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. This Republican led Congress had no desire to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush. Death was put on a much lower priority level than marital infidelity.
As for the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House, displayed the height of hypocrisy by declaring, "Impeachment is off the table." Harry Reid meanwhile assured those restless about the Bush gang's demolition of the U.S. Constitution that, after all, there was another election around the corner.
We know one thing for sure. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have proven that they do not believe in democratic rule.
Go ahead, Bush and Cheney, destroy our Constitution. Pelosi and Reid will do nothing. No wonder beacon of destruction Bush can dance and sing, even about "weapons of mass destruction" no less.
We need Iraq War accountability, Mr. Bush, and now!
