While everyone sits here comfortably wondering what to do, our troops are dying over there. We are losing family members and continue to sit here and worry on a daily basis. Enough is enough. We did our part and now you need to do yours and get the troops home. This has gone on long enough. We have lost so many good men and women to a losing battle and will continue to do so. This is America and we have a freedom of speech to let you know how we feel and what we want. You need to listen to the people, we want the troops home!! Not in a year, we need to stop this craziness now. The President needs to hear us!!!! Admit you were wrong and stand up for what you know is the right thing to do. Or maybe everyone of you including the President should suit up and go over and fight for this country. HOW ABOUT THAT? Oh that would never happen, you just get to sit over here comfortably and make decisions for our family members--Thanks ********** [100449:020307] D.B., Baton Rouge, LA Please remove our troops from Iraq and send them to nearby friendly countries as a backup to prevent an expanding regional conflict and make Iraq to solve their own problems. We can't solve the problems with our military presence. The oil companies and the war industry have made enough profits off of this war. ********** [175628:121806] A.Y., New York, NY As former Secretary Colin Powell states: There are no troops to be had to fill this upsurge. It will come within the following parameters: Troops already there will have to stay for an extended time. Troops designated to go to Iraq or Afganistan will be accelerated to be in country sooner. This will break the Army and the Marines in quick time. The surge cannot be sustained. ********** [175352:121806] M.K., Pendleton, IN Get us out now. We have had enough. For once, listen to you constituents, listen to those who chose you for office, get us the hell out of Iraq before those of you currently in office do the "cut and run" like you want to. Stop being cowards, own up to your mistakes and stop the needless deaths to our military. Just to remind you.......there are no WMD's!!! WAKE UP!!!! PS I haven't heard the word Osama for a few months now, have we given up on that needle in the haystack???? Give me a freaking break. You are a joke. ********** [174935:121806] n.c., Los Angeles, CA THE MISSION IS NOT TO GIVE THE INSURGENTS OR AL QAEDA OR WHOMEVER ELSE WANTS TO KILL OUR TROOPS MORE TARGETS TO SHOOT AT IN THEIR CIVIL WAR. LET THE IRAQI FIGHT IT OUT. ********** [174905:121806] D.T., Carson, CA This is madness! Tell me why letting a failure write what to next is in any wise? Maybe instead you should be asking for psych. evaluation on Mr. Bush. If you want to keep control of the houses, do not let that idiot satanist kill even more youths in his private insane war. ********** [174808:121806] G.J., Mattoon, IL I hope you all read this letter, and then, I hope someone straightens Harry Reid out. We had a change in Washington because we are sick of the BS, the lies, and the crimes that this administration has pulled off while you guys were just sleeping. If that isn't it, and I pray that it is, then, maybe we can't trust any of you anymore. The war is wrong. It is beyond stupid. It is insane. And, it's a failure. We cannot win in Iraq. It is not our fight. That isn't even mentioning that it is criminal according to our constitution, all the treaties we signed, and international law. Stop the funds. Stop the crime. Stop this insane man that thinks he is in charge of anything. He's nuts. Remove him while we still have a world. I always blamed a handful of greedy republicans for this kind of crap. Please don't show me that the democrats aren't any better. We've run out of options. We are running out of an army, and we have so much unnecessary debt, I fear that this crime in Iraq will destroy this nation. And, if there is no one to stop such an obviously criminal mistake, maybe it should. Please stop the insanity, now. No more troops. No more money. Bring them all home, now. "I will not vote for or support any candidate for Congress or President who does not make a speedy end to the war in Iraq, and preventing any future war of aggression, a public position in his or her campaign. Thanks ********** [174637:121806] l.h., Fayetteville, AR The Congress might have already forgotten the outpouring of anger displayed by the American paoplelast November 7th. It has not dissipated and to ignore this is at your peril. ********** [174403:121806] A.D., Tampa, FL How many Iraqui and Americans must die? And for what? Anthony D'Avanza, Tampa,Fl. LEAD! STOP FOLLOWING! TAKE A CHANCE! ********** [174301:121806] D.S., Falls Church, VA My dear friends at this Christmas season it is appropriate that we take a moment to think about the Prince of Peace and how we can further the agenda of "peace on earth good will to woman/man." The chattering class thinks that they can hornswaggle us into surging troops into Iraq. We need a surge alright, but it must be in the opposite direction. We have voted. We have demonstrated. We have fasted. We have prayed. We are ready to be heard. We refuse to have our country bankrupted by the gang of criminals that have taken over our government. We want you to surge back to Washington and investigate. Senator Allen, we will let Webb surge in your place. We demand accountability. ********** [174237:121806] J.P., San Diego, CA Let's not send anymore troops over with th e"bulleseye" on their backs - not knowing friend from foe. And while we're at it, lets hold GWBush accountable for this horrific debacle costing us some 3000 troops, 20,000 wounded, the world has turned against us (him), our coffers are empty, and we have some 70,000,000 Americans either without health insurance or living below the poverty level. That is tantamount to treaon. ********** [174124:121806] R.R., Daytona Beach, FL Dear Mr. Reid, The people have voted against this war. We put you in power of the Senate and the House Of Representives so you would put and end to this madness. Adding more troops will only give this criminal administration more time to run out the clock. We want an end to this war, NOW! We want investigations of all crimes this administration has and continues to inflict on us and the world. We want to rid ourself of this horror that is Plaguing our nation. We need to save our troops not add more to be slain in this mistake of a war. ********** [174116:121806] E.C., Cary, NC With the respected Colin Powell agreeing that our military is "about broken", nevertheless we continue to hear the idea of a "surge" in troops being sent to Iraq. - and where will they come from? The deployments of thousands already in Iraq for the 3rd or 4th time will be extended, no joke, and those people getting ready to deploy will be speeded up. No new people. Just continuing to "break" the men and women of our services. How much more can we expect of these young men and women? What part of the last election didn't President Bush, and even our Democratic leaders not understand? Democrats won because people are sick and tired of the mess in Iraq and want our troops out, not in l8 months, lor in one year, now! Support the troops: bring them home now. ********** [173954:121806] K.M., Wichita, KS Absolutely no more troops to Iraq . . . The people spoke in November . . . it is your job to listen to your constituents . . . We pay your salary, perform your job! ********** [173739:121806] j.g., Oxnard, CA DO NOT ESCALATE! PERIIOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO "GIVE EM HELL HARRY"? THIS "SURGE" WILL NOT BE TEMPORARY.. STOP THE MADNESS HARRY, LISTEN TO WHO GAVE US THE MAJORITY TO RIGHT THE CRIMINAL WRONGS OF THIS FASCIST REGIME! START LEADING AGAIN HARRY!! GIVE EM HELL!!! NOW!!!!! ********** [173549:121806] s.b., Santa Monica, CA ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? Harry Reid thinks a "Surge" in troops is a good idea? THis is the man that is supposed to be leading the opposition to the presidne tand his Cabal of liars? Are you Kidding me. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Stop this nonsense now! ********** [173049:121806] J.F., Grandville, MI Stop sending our future generation of young people over to be slatered. Thier wars are thousands of years old and on going. They wanted freedom from Sadam....not let them fend for themselves. Stop breaking Americas backs with depts and losses of our Children for thier good. We made them the danger by our past hand outs of weapons... It is more than time to stop the insanity. ********** [173012:121806] F.R., Columbus, OH America has spoken, no more war in Iraq! Impeach Bush, pull his war funds and bring our troops home now. We voted for change and accoutability, not 'stay the course'! Damn it, I have had it, and so have the American people!!! ********** [172934:121806] j.s., Land O Lakes, FL The Democrats have been accused of being soft for the past 6 years. Dispel this myth Mr. Nelson. Relay your feelings to Mr. Reid! Stand up to the idiocy of this President. Show some spine! After all, the right wingers elected Bush twice because they perceived him as strong and that he would stand up against our enemies. Now that Mr. Bush is our enemy, STAND UP TO HIM if you have any prayer of gaining the bully pulpit in 2008. If you do not, I may have to abandon the Democratic party as well! ********** [172652:121806] J.H., Berkeley, CA Please support our troops by finally bringing them home for good. ********** [172630:121806] A.J., Idyllwild, CA The American people voted for the US to get out of Iraq... not to send more troops!! Be faithful to the desire of the American people for peace. ********** [172455:121806] K.B., San Jose, CA Please, please, please do not devolve into the 109th Congress....you are the 110th voted-in for change. Bring the troops home WITHOUT increasing their numbers ********** [172332:121806] J.B., Hurleyville, NY We had no business going into Iraq in the first place. Let's get out now and stop wasting lives, energy and money there. No more troops sent to a senseless, illegal war! ********** [172031:121806] L.A., Albuquerque, NM Sending more trrops (even if we actually had more to send) will do nothing in the long run other than to cause more deaths. It's past time to do the right thing and bring the troops home and let Bush and his administration bear the responsibility and consequences. People who are a whole lot smarter than Bush and Co. cautioned about going into Iraq for the very reaons we are facing today. Bush ignored the knowledge and wisdom of those who knew and now must faces the consequences. DO NOT SEND MORE TROOPS! ********** [171757:121806] C.H., Mendocino, CA We should never have gone into Iraq. This war (and all the others like it) is dishonest and unworkable for all but the few wealthy people who make repulsive amounts of money from it. This is wrong and we must stop now. No more money for the war and no more troops. You can be part of doing the right thing - please act now. **********
