Editor,
If a 48-hour deadline was good enough to get Saddam Hussein and his Republican Guard out of Iraq, why isn't it enough time to get President Bush's Republican Guard out of Iraq? The only terrorist who followed us home from the last territorial pissing in Iraq was U.S. veteran Timothy McVeigh. Bush and his troops in Iraq like to blame Democrats, defeatists, terrorists, al-Qaida, Syria, Iran and old Europe for their failures in Iraq. They have no one to blame but themselves.
Bush recently stood in front of a map of U.S. combat outposts located around Baghdad. Can you imagine what would happen if Sen. Harry Reid showed our enemies a map on a flat screen TV of where to attack our troops? Reid was right. The war in Iraq is lost. The White House and its appeasers are in a state of denial. If we had found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, found Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and
created peace in the Middle East with a free Israel and a free Palestine, we would have won.
It was painful watching Sen. John McCain flailing around recently on "The Daily Show," cracking Iraq jokes and spewing crooked talking points. All I heard was, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran, bomb, bomb." McCain said the U.S. troops are fighting for Iraqi freedom. Who is fighting for our freedom?
Last week, Karl Rove was asked who started the pre-emptive war in Iraq, and he replied, "Osama bin Laden." Is the U.S. still hunting for 9/11 conspirator bin Laden? If not, then why not?

Pat Tillman was preparing to come back to the U.S. to speak out against Bush, the failure in Iraq and the 9/11 cover-up. Since Bush has the legal authority to execute U.S. citizens he deems terrorists with predator drones, I have to ask if Tillman was assassinated by his government.
