My Thought on the Iraqi Parliament Vacation

[erpowers]

It seems that some in the American media are getting upset that the Iraqi Parliament is going on a month long vacation. I do not think the troops should stay in Iraq, but I do not see how anyone can get angry at the Iraqi Parliament when George W. Bush continues to go on vacation for a month when American troops are still in two foreign countries. I think the media should be getting angry at George W. Bush since he is the one who keeps going on vacation while troops are still getting blown up in inadequate equipment. It is George W. Bush who keeps going on vacation while troops are fighting two wars without have all of the proper equipment and proper training. So my main question is why is it okay for Bush to go on vacation, but not the Iraqi Par aliment, especially when it is George W. Bush who has troops fighting in a foreign country. I do not think the Iraqi Par aliment should go on a month long vacation, but I also do not see how they can be told not to go on vacation when George W. Bush has not just missed a month long vacation since he has been in office. The Iraqi Par aliment's vacation will not be longer that any of Bush's vacations.

1. Iraq is in graver peril than the United States.

The two nations' leaders' vacations are not comparable.

There's a public relations disaster connected to a parliament of a fledgling government whose citizens are being blown to bits hourly, as opposed to anything a U.S. president does or doesn't do.

The U.S. is not a paradise, but things are more or less the same as they were before we struck Baghdad. In fact, one of Bush's many and titanic errors was his failure to exact sacrifice from voters. If the war in Iraq was as important as his administration said it was, why were things more or less normal for average Americans?

2. "why were things more or less normal for average Americans?"

is a question I've asked in emails to Senator McCain. I've asked why if our very way of life is at risk, is there no draft without the exclusions that allowed most of this administration, most notably Dick Cheney to avoid military service, why is there not a surtax to pay for this struggle as it is fought, and why is there no anti-profiteering law to take the profit motive out of this struggle? NO answer.

3. Hi, PsN2Wind. Yep. I'm not surprised McCain didn't respond to

your question.

He probably CAN'T respond to it, because it would put him face to face with the lie of the war from the git-go.

Good for you to be on this issue so early. And bad for McCain, whose low poll numbers reflect the deception he's trying to put over on us all.

4. put it this way

the people (US)are rightly pissed because this is their country and they should get it up and running ASAP so our troops can come home.

Their excuse is its too hot or they are worn out......too f'ing bad.....they should be used to the weather..

our troops have to stay....they too are hot and worn out.......what gives this Iraqi group the right to think they can run away for a month,,,,,when our boys with in that month will still be getting killed.......
