Disaster repeated

Apparently the president is going to recommend sending additional combat troops to Iraq. Have we learned nothing from the past? If we do that, the reaction of the Arab world will be: Invasion #2. We told you that the US meant to stay in Iraq and secure the oil and remake our world in the image of the US......Woodrow Wilson's phrase "Make the world safe of democracy" will again lead us down the garden path to further disaster. We can only hope that the Democrats and a number of Republicans will oppose any such plan . I see that McCain is now ataching a number of caveats to his approval and I believe that even his modified position will finish his chances of the Republican nomination. The Generals on the scene oppose it, but the President goes ahead even though he has been telling us for years that he takes his cue from those on the spot. I pray and hope that "the country" in whtever form will rise up and put a stop to any such plan. Too bad we can't do what they do in the corporate world and with unsuccessful football coaches - give him a huge bonus and the boot.
