Iraq Is America's Debacle, And America Wants To End It
Responding to Senator Harry Reid's statement:
I understand the restlessness that some feel. Many who voted for change in November anticipated dramatic and immediate results in January. But like it or not, George W. Bush is still the commander in chief -- and this is his war."
Cliff May writes:
Actually, like it or not, it's America's war.
May's criticsm of Reid is right. But what does May NOT mention? That America wants the Debacle ended and Bush is defying the wishes of the American People:
Which of these comes closest to your opinion? 1. Congress should block all funding war in Iraq no matter what OR 2. Congress should allow funding only for a limited period of time OR 3. Congress should allow all funding for the war in Iraq without a time limit.
Block all funding 9
Allow only w/time limit 58
Should allow all funding 29
Don't know/No answer 4
The principles of Reid's proposal are supported by 2/3 of the American People. The President is NOT a King Clifford May. He does not get to rule the American People by diktat. The American People do not support the Debacle in Iraq. They want it over. And Harry Reid is the voice for the will of the American People. The view of Bush that you support is at odds with what the American People want. The war in Iraq is a Debacle the American People want ended. Time to do the will of the People Mr. May.
