All of Thomas Kelly’s facts do not add up to the one single fact that this war has never had any justification relating to the security of the United States.

I do not have to visit Iraq to understand that all we have accomplished there is to replace a tin-pot dictatorship with what is becoming an all-out civil war. And that war is likely to occur whether we stay for six months or six years.

There are many who blow the horn of patriotism as Kelly does and good for them . But there is a chorus from the movement of patriotic dissent that is going to drown them out. I hope Bush will come out of the Oval Office for a minute to hear what the American people are saying ; the war is over, bring the troops home now.
