I’ve been honest here at Journey Home about how much I disagree with President Bush. I will be honest again, I have never thought that we needed to have carried on this war as long as we have. I believe we were lied to concerning weapons of mass destruction. I feel that the lack of planning concerning this war including our exit strategy is unfair to those who have served in Iraq. I however would never call the war a mistake, I would point out President Bush’s many mistakes as commander in chief of our armed forces. This war has had many positive things, we removed a vicious dictator, we have helped the Iraq people to have a “better” lifestyle. I do believe that we need to bring our troops home soon, that we need to be developing a serious exit strategy. I believe that while some military presence will always be necessary in Iraq we can’t continue with the numbers we have currently deployed to Iraq. I also believe that the sacrifices made by military families were not in vain, including that of the ultimate sacrifice. I feel we’ve had poor leadership, and despite that, our military has made us proud.
This video is by far the best campaign commercial. I agree with the person in the video when he says “When you call the sacrifes made a mistake you disrespect the service and sacrifice of those who have served.”
