My letter to my reps:
Funding the occupation.

After listening to General Petraeus’s address to Congress yesterday, I am more convinced than ever that we have just left our kids there as targets while the big oil companies divvy up the spoils. If we are supporting the Sunni’s in the West, and the Shia in Baghdad, what will happed when they face each other? Which side in this civil war do we champion? Will our new best friend be one that is already allied with Iran, or the one that is allied with Saudi Arabia, the HOME of Al Qaida?

I truly believe that any more money that we give this administration be strictly for the safe return of our boys and girls.

With Regards
