I am a veteran who strongly supports our military and their families. It must be nearly impossible to call something a mistake when they are giving so much to its cause. However, how can we deny that attacking and occupying Iraq has been a horrible mistake?
I want to thank the Register for printing the Aug. 20 commentary addressing President Bush's lies. Our current president's lies have been obvious since the day he was elected. How could any observant person not see that he intended to take us into this war from the beginning? Weapons of mass destruction and the unrelated Sept. 11 attack became the false justifications he needed.
Every U.S. service person and Iraqi who has been injured or killed as a result of this unnecessary, illegal and futile war must be laid at Bush's feet. However, I find the inaction of our U.S. Congress, as well as that of the media, to be as outrageous as the lies themselves.
When can we expect to see this issue seriously and forcefully addressed by either?
