Why should one more American Occupation Troop die for the Theocratic Islamic Revolution of Iraq? Why should we "borrow" $2,000,000,000,000.00+ from China for these territorial pissings in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan? The War on Terror is a War on Freedom. Our leaders and US Forces took an oath to God to protect and defend the US Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. They have failed and need to step down, Republicans AND Democrats. We have to form a new US Government of Teachers, First Responders, Military, Peace Activists, etc. No More Incumbants, No More Liars!
