Spineless Democrat Watch

This is a letter I wrote to Nancy Pelosi on September 11, 2007 regarding Boosh's War. Obviously, I was (and am) very upset at the lack of motivation on the part of the Democrats. Cowards!


Dear Madame Speaker:

The Bush/Petraeus proposal of letting the surge continue until maybe, possibly, perhaps the summer of next year is simply not acceptable. I am not willing to see another US soldier die or pay another single tax dollar so that George Bush can foist his monumental and catastrophic Iraq quagmire on the next President. I can see through this tactic. My family can see through it. My friends can see through it. And I believe that the American public can see through it.

Please do not fund the war anymore. PERIOD. Stop paying for the war and force George Bush's hand and get our troops out of Iraq now.

I'm tired of you guys and the American public being played like a fiddle. Bush has lied and lied and lied and lied and lied. The "mission" was "accomplished" years ago. The insurgency was in its "final throes" years ago. The surge was only going to last a "couple of months" and was designed to help the Iraqis "stand up as we stand down". Now, the President and Petraeus state that the surge will continue until next summer, at which time, we will be back where we were in November 2006. This is intolerable. I can't tell you how angry this makes me. The President and his henchmen are treating the American public like idiots.

GET US OUT OF IRAQ NOW. CUT OFF ALL FUNDING UNTIL YOU GET A MANDATORY TIMELINE FOR WITHDRAWAL!!! DO NOT CAVE IN TO THE PRESIDENT. YOU HAVE THE VOTES. JUST DO IT.

Sincerely,
John Locke
