When the hell will Congress and the American people stand up to this man?

Facts:

We were lied into this war.

The war was and is one of the biggest mistakes in our country's history.

It has made al Qaeda and radical anti western Islamic factions stronger.

If we stay in Iraq there will be bloodshed and if we leave Iraq there will be
bloodshed.

Billions and billions of dollars have been lost, stolen, and or wasted.

Over 1 million Iraqis are dead and 4 million are homeless.

Our military is being ruined by the war.

The "progress" in Iraq after the surge seems to be mostly smoke and
mirrors. The surge was supposed to make Baghdad safe and to allow
the Iraqi political leaders a chance to "help build a nation," neither of
which has happened.

Some companies and people have made vast sums of money from the war.

Unknown amounts of oil has been stolen from Iraq.

Iraq now has the largest proven oil reserve in the world.

Thousands and thousands of returning troops from Iraq will need medical
and mental health treatment for years.

The war has made the middle east much less stable.

Certain forces seem to control much of the media and it has and continues
to be used to "sell this war."
