Ron Suskind just put out a new book claiming the CIA forged and post-dated a note between Iraqi Intelligence and Saddam Hussein in order to trump up the evidence for a war in Iraq. (See note below) Furthermore, the forgery was requested by the President himself. (The President's request is also below)
President Bush is holding our troops hostage and threatening them with death. Here is what he is saying to Congress:"Order me out of Iraq, and I will abandon the troops in the field. The blood of your children will be on your hands, not mine."
Every coffin that comes home shows he means business.
This is the ugly truth Congress wrestles with but will not name. Congress has been terrorized, like any family whose children are kidnapped and held hostage.
Vote to stop funding? Vote for an immediate start to withdrawal? American soldiers will die. As they have been dying. Bush knows he can blame Congress and the public's lack of "will" for the continued horror.
