Yesterday, Iraq's parliament began a month-long vacation. U.S. troops are dying. President Bush's nominee to be top military adviser said today the United States will be in Iraq for "years not months". And a Pentagon official said the war was costing even more than expected.
Regardless of your stand on the Iraq invasion and the recent so-called “troop surge”, at THIS point in time, do you feel as if we’re wasting our people and resources over there?

It's so easy for people to sit at a computer and say no, I'm not ticked about this. They're not over there fighting. That vacation is so unfair to US soldiers. They should all decide to take a month's vacation, too. Actually, they should just walk out and leave it. You cannot win in the middle of a sectarian civil war in another country. History tells us that, but I'm not so sure our President passed history class.
Civilian deaths are down 36% We have been killing and detaining terrorists on a daily basis There have been less and less terrorist attacks since the troop surge
If this war is going to last for 'years', then I think some of the parliament should get some vacation time...but not a month...that is way too long to be away from the duties of your country...especially when that country is in its beginning stages.
So we should feel bad the Iraqi's are taking a vacation. Tell me, isn't George going to be spending quite some time on vacation. Is the US congress and senate sitting right now or are they on vacation.
That's interesting. Where will they go? Back home and risk death? Overseas for a proper holiday? What a time for a vacation, I hope we're not footing the bill....
