Not long after we went to Afghanistan and defeated the Taliban, the Afghan army was started and from what I know it seems to be a success. So now I ask why is this not happening in Iraq? The sectarian violence is causing this problem, mainly, not Al Qaeda as Bush is so fond of saying. The man needs to choke on his words. So many lies come out of his mouth it's unreal. My latest read is "Hubris" by Michael Isikoff and David Corn. I've read about one quarter of it so far and it's very informative. Donald Rumsfeld was a terrible Secretary of Defense. I don't know who made the worst decisions, him, Bush, or Cheney.
The Republicans have the Democrats on the run by constantly saying the Democrats are doing nothing when it's the Republicans who are using the filibuster to stop the votes on bills. The Democrats must get this information out there so the people know what is really going on.
