Belatedly, Democrats want to reject the Iraq war!

I just noted the following on an NPR Radio web page:


Senate to Debate Iraq War Policy

All Things Considered, July 8, 2007 · Iraq will likely dominate debate Monday as the Senate takes up the defense authorization bill. Host Debbie Elliott speaks with Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), one of a growing number of Republicans opposing the Bush plan, and Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN).

My reaction to the paragraph:

What upsets me the most is that we are only seeing this discussion now, so many years after the invasion.

I never understood why Congress failed to debate this prior to our attack upon Iraq (and prior to the subsequent invasion/occupation).

Democrat Senators and Representatives, where were you when we needed someone with his head screwed on straight? Someone to ask hard questions and demand straight answers. The truth is, almost our entire Senate deserves to be dumped! We need a new start. Our nation requires a new, intelligent, leadership, and not just a new President.

We need a new, legitimately elected, goverment with a new mentality! And we need an informed President with a liberal education, an grasp of foreign affairs, and a vision of economics that honors the common wager earner.
