Answer Me This

I hear all the time that we have to win the war. McCain says if we don't win, Al Qaeda will follow us home. That Bush bastard says our national security depends on winning. So I keep hearing "support the troops," don't "cut-and-run." I keep hearing that people who want the war ended now -- or soon or maybe even ever -- are unpatriotic.

If it's so important to win this war in Iraq, and to prevent that country from falling into chaos, and to prevent the spread of Iranianism, then answer me this:

1. Why aren't there enough troops in Iraq to do the job? Why aren't there a half million, say? Why weren't there more at the beginning when everyone said there weren't enough?

2. Why are we so alone there?

3. Why haven't we raised taxes to pay for it? Why haven't we gone on a war footing?

4. If the cause is very good and proper, why is our country so divided? Why do a majority of people polled want out?


Answer me those questions.
