Reflections on the "New American" Revolution

Iraq attack injures 35 US troops: "The United States military in Iraq says that 35 of its soldiers have been wounded in a mortar attack on a base west of the capital, Baghdad. "
One of them later died. God help them all, and their families. And all the rest of us. After all, why are our troops getting killed? I want to know. And right now, I don't know. Bush has given different answers, but keeps to the same policy.
This changing mission stinks. Without knowing why we're there, we'll never know if its worth being there. And being there means our brothers and sisters are dying, losing limbs and vision etc. The rest of us are being asked to pay $87 Billion this year. That will be borrowed abroad, and paid back with interest for 30 years. Is that a good investment?
What I don't get about the patriots who supported this war is the hypocrisy about "supporting the troops". If they support the troops, why are they sending them to get killed and attacked? I mean they keep changing the mission. First it was to make America safer from WMD attacks. Then it was to remove Saddam. Then it was to install a democracy. What's the real reason? Just so you can feel powerful?
And I am not finished with the hypocrites. Why are they allowing our troops to come home wounded to lie in lousy cinder block buildings, waiting months for therapy and medical treatments, and having to pay for their own food? Why are they cutting benefits to GI's? Why are you such hypocrites? How can you use people so cruelly. How can you congratulate yourselves on defending America when you are stealing America blind? I am so sick of these lies and deceptions. They have to stop. That will make America safer than war in Iraq.
