Congress Should Determine the Outcome in Iraq‏

The old saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
was very clearly demonstrated by President Bush, AN ELECTED PUBLIC
SERVANT, when he made that statement, "I AM THE DECIDER".

WRONG!

THE AMERICAN VOTERS ARE THE ULTIMATE DECIDERS IN THIS COUNTRY AND NO ONE
ELSE!

Every elected public servant from the President down does what the voters
decide wants done and takes our country in the direction we decide to go
in.

In this last election, November 2006, we voters spoke clearly and loudly
by changing political parties in control of both Houses of Congress, that
we think Congress should take control of the War in Iraq through the
funding process of the budget. Nothing else draws any attention to this
problem!

We voters have patiently watched this one ongoing strategy of this fiasco
in Iraq going from bad to worse for almost four years. Each time it gets
worse, the name gets changed but nothing else gets changed. This new surge
idea has already been used three times before under other names but always
with the same results, utter failure!

It is away past time to change ideas concerning this hopeless morass,
whether it is negoiating with the surrounding countries, because they
don't want an exodus of millions of refugees from Iraq or using our troops
to protect Iraq borders from incoming foreign fighters and weapons while
Iraq sorts out their own internal civil war on their own.

Only Iraq can decide their future or their future government, we gave them
that opportunity with a great sacrifice of human lives and national
treasure.



Sincerely,


Francis R. Gorman
