Iraq :: 3 Years Later

Marked for the Innocents!

For three years the rivers in the valley of mesopotamia have ran red with the blood of innocents.   Over 2300 of our military dead and thousands wounded.   30,000 to 150,000 Iraqi's dead and countless wounded.   We did not have the ability or concern to accurately count the Iraqi casualties for after all they were collateral damage and could not be avoided in Bush's insane quest for power and oil.   His words in 2003 ring loudly of lies yet only a few of us saw what was about to happen.   Truely George W. Bush will have a memorable legacy as he has spoken of several times, written with the blood of innocents.   - fc

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)



Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:



(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and



(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.



Sincerely,



GEORGE W. BUSH
