....our troops in Iraq fighting Bush's War ARE ONLY TARGETS! We need to get them out of there now, not next April. It needs to be now!

3. Thank you, there are no official figures for that tragic result of Bush's War

...as the Pentagon and the U.S. Veterans Affairs Department try to sweep those people under the rug. These are perhaps the most tragic victims of this failed war as tens of thousands of veterans are disqualified and dropped from receiving any benefits, treatment or assistance whatsoever.

This is why the surge and any other foolish idea of prolonging the failed policies of Bush and Cheney should be terminated now. The focus must be on getting the troops out of harms way now.

Demand that the administration stop using our men and women as targets and victims for expanding the Neoon's and Dick Cheney's imperialistic expansion ambitions for yet more wars. Begin a systematic pull-back of our troops out of the civil war conflict that is going on in Iraq. Provide medical and rehabilitation assistance to those who have made been physically and mentally wounded. And finally as quickly and in any orderly manner, bring our other U.S. military men and woman who have served and also sacrificed through multiple tours away from family and loved ones home so they can get back to living normal lives and jobs once again.
