Thursday Morning Open Thread

No soldier left behind. That used to be America's policy. It was until this week when Al Sadr rolled over George Bush. Unbelievable. Bush and Cheney talk a lot about making sure America doesn't look weak. Guess what? The Bush team has made America look weak.

GOP House Majority Leader John Boehner showed his disdain for the soldiers on the ground yesterday. The GOP leadership will do anything to protect Bush and Rumsfeld from criticism over Iraq -- even if it means blaming our soldiers. Those are the same people that Bush and Rumsfeld regularly ignore, but it's all their fault. Boehner's comments showed why there has been no oversight of Iraq so far. And, there won't be if we don't change the course.

Five days.

Do everything you can between now and then to change the course.
