Bob Casey & Iraq

As I mentioned in this morning's article about Casey's positions on issues, the state Treasurer, whose foreign policy experience is minimal, has stated he would have voted for George Bush's authorization to allow the use of force against Iraq and he supports Bush's current policy (whatever the heck it is).

W spoke in Chicago this morning and warned the American people we will have a continued rough road ahead. There will be more suffering and more deaths of our loved ones. All for those non-existent WMD's. The new Iraqi government is a sham. How you form a government without filling the three most important cabinet positions is beyond my comprehension. It isn't a government it's a puppet regime set up by George W. Bush. With no Interior Minister or Defense Minister guess who's going to be calling the shots? (Hint: want some Rice with that?)

It's time for Bob Casey to come out against this war. As the Republicans in Congress, led in part by Rick Santorum, subvert our constitution in furtherance of their failed policies it's obvious we're headed down a dangerous road. The country agrees, saying Bush and Santorum have us on the wrong track. A track that's not just headed in the wrong direction but over a cliff. We need a drastic change of direction.

Voters aren't looking for more of the same. Voters are quite upset over the course Bush has set. They are quite upset over the incompetence that has resulted in our losing this war. They want a change. Casey can offer them that change by stating unequivocally that he agrees with Congressman Murtha and now opposes the continued failed policies that are turning this country's mothers into passengers in Thelma and Louise's car. These Moms deserve better for their sons and daughters. It's time for Bob casey to "be brave" as Alan Sandals said.

Be brave Bob. Do the right thing.
