Bush, Shot Down??

On January 11 Bushs proposal to increase troops in Iraq ran into intense conflict from Congress. Most of the Democrats opposed the idea along with some moderate Republicans. Bushs speech the other night proved to be a waste of time because not many people's political stance towards the war changed besides more people becoming angry with him. Democrats are looking for ways to cut military spending over the next few years so that less men will have to go to war. The war in Iraq is a lost cause but president Bush will not accept this fact. He just recently deployed 20,000 new troops to Bagdad to calm down the violence. Sending more troops will only make more people mad and increase violence within the country. Bush is only in Iraq because his father never finished the job in the first Gulf War. I can relate this to the Vietnam war when it was heavliy frowned upon by many Americans. This war led to many young innocent lives lost and many protests in our own country. The only difference was that the president fianlly realized he was wrong and withdrew troops from Vietnam besides increasing troops there.
