Time to End the Madness
by | March 25, 2008
This week our nation marked a grim milestone: the 4,000th American fatality in Iraq. The following is a statement from AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee:"Five years into this disastrous war, we are still squandering billions of dollars and destroying the lives of young men and women and their families who answered the call to serve our country. Our service members have done their job and it is time to bring them home. We need to stop throwing troops and resources into the quagmire of Iraq. Our priorities at home - securing quality health care for all Americans, rebuilding aging bridges, levees and roads, improving our schools, and revitalizing our struggling economy - are ignored while our country is bogged down in an unwinnable war. It is time to end the madness and set a new direction for our country."More commentary is available on the Huffington Post.
