True patriots support peace!

As we solemnly mark the start of the dangerously misguided war in Iraq lets take a moment to compare what Bush and his buddies told us VS. The truth.

They told us that Saddam and Iraqis were involved in 9-11. In fact there is no solid evidence of any link between the government of Saddam and al Qaida.

They told us that the war would be very inexpensive and Iraq could be rebuilt with Oil revenues. To date the war has cost Americans almost 250 BILLION dollars (and the cost just keeps rising, take a look at the counter on the right side of my main page) and that doesn't even really take reconstruction costs into account. Iraq's oil revenues just aren't going to cover the massive rebuilding costs.

These are just a few of the many broken promises of the Republicans about Iraq, all in support of the "Bush Doctrine." George "Dubai" Bush loudly proclaimed that nations are either with us or against us in the Terror War, yet his pals in Saudi Arabia funnel money to terror groups worldwide and he wanted to turn American ports over to a nation with ties to 9-11.

The members of North Country Democracy for America have decided to mark the grim third anniversary of the Republican's war in Iraq by calling for it's end. We want to support our courageous soldiers by demanding they be removed from the Iraq quagmire as soon as possible. Iraq has fallen into civil war and there is no reason why our brave troops should be made to suffer pointlessly for Republican mistakes.
