Remember how Bush and Cheney got re-elected in 2004 because they convinced red-state America that a vote for Kerry would be a vote for the terrorists?
And you know how the Bushies keep telling us that the war in Iraq is an essential element in keeping us safe in the "war on terror" (fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here)?
Well, according to a recent Washington Post article, it seems that our great protector and his cronies in the Pentagon have lost track of some 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols that they had given to Iraqi security forces, "raising fears that some of those weapons have fallen into the hands of insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq."
Sooooo....
It is clearer than ever that this war in Iraq is not making anyone safer. It's only making everyone -- we Americans and our allies, as well as the Iraqi people -- much less safe.
Now will Congress please stop funding this fiasco and bring our troops home? (Sadly, it's just a rhetorical question.)
