Senate Admits War is Based on Lies:
An Angry Mom Responds
Hello MFSO,
I am so angry right now I thought I'd unload on you, since I know
someone there has to be feeling the same thing. When that Senate
"intelligence" report came out yesterday, 7/9/04, saying that the war
in Iraq was based on a big mistake and that if congressmen knew then
what they know now, they would never have voted for use of force, it
made me cry. How can we sit by and let this happen without a lot of
OUTRAGE being voiced? Families of soldiers who have died and been
injured must SHOUT their OUTRAGE NOW.
Most of the world knew that there was not sufficient foundation for
the US invasion of Iraq, yet all but a very few of our Congressman
believed the b-------- that was handed to them by the CIA and the Bush
administration. Why did we conduct an investigation NOW, AFTER the
damage is done, AFTER our kids have been killed and lost legs and arms
and eyesight, and killed so many other people in the process?
Shouldn't investigations have been conducted before the first bomb was
dropped? Shouldn't our lawmakers have been asking probing questions,
been willing to stand against the tide of stupitity and ignorance in
Washington, been reading the supposed evidence and asking for a lot
more proof BEFORE giving George Bush a free hand to send our kids to
war? How can families of dead soldiers get up each day and live with
the unavoildable reality that they have lost their loved ones FOREVER
because the people we trust to examine and understand the FACTS before
sending our children into combat totally failed to recognize obvious,
transparent lies and fabrications? And how can the Commander in Chief
smirk and shrug and say he "thinks our intelligence is good
intelligence" and never take one bit of responsibility (or be held
responsible by those of us he has hurt so badly and permanently) for
the damage he has personally done to the lives of the members of the
military and their families, as well as our alliances worldwide, and
to the people of Iraq whose lives have been ravaged by death and
destruction?
As members of military families we sleep at night because we believe
that our loved ones will only be sent to war AS A LAST RESORT, ONLY
after ALL other avenues have been exhausted, to defend this country,
its people, and its allies. We believe in this sacred promise made to
us by our leadership, implicit in the Constitution of the United
States of America. We were sold a pack of lies. And I'm sorry to say
the majority of people in this country alone ate it up like candy.
I am sad today as I ponder the tragedies of our time. I hold my breath
daily waiting to see if my son will be deployed again, to where, and
for how long. He and I both pray that he somehow manages to get out of
the army on the date that his 4 years are up, against all odds now
that stop-loss and call back policies are in place.
Thanks for your ear,
Amy Bright
