Spring Break
I think that I want to be a teacher. Yea, they are always complaining about their pay, but who isn't? They got the last week off for spring break while I was stuck in my cubicle while my children played at home. We even had a stow-a-way this week while his parents were on a cruise. Summers off? Come on, what could be better? Thanks Abe for the suggestion.
Bush's generals are bailing on Rumsfield like rats off the Titanic. There is something to be said for loyalty, they did wait until they were retired to let their former boss have it with both barrels. I am not really an I told you so kind of guy, but I never saw this war as a good idea. I had to defend France's lack of action to my friends, and now it turns out France was right.
At what point do we pull out of this mistake? I understand that the president can't stand up and say, "I was wrong to go into Iraq, and now your sons and daughters have been killed due to my inability to lead a war campaign." I just think that we now need to train their army and get out of there. We cannot shore up a country that has tribes within it that hate each other and would happily give their own life if it means taking out a few of the enemies. Lets pull our soldiers back home to defend our borders against those out to harm us for the decisions of our leader. The one thing that Iraqis do agree on is that they would love to see more dead Americans. Evan Sadam said quit fighting amoung yourselves and start killing more Americans.
At the very least, we ought to have an exit strategy in place. Some way of gauging when it's time to go. All the best leaders tell us to set attainable goals, let's see some out of the prez. If he laid out a plan stating the conditions for withdrawl, maybe even the Iraqis would help us get them done and get our young men and women home, with their bodies intact.
