It's Not Our White Flag Mr. Bush

It's yours. It's your war. You decided to start it, we didn't. You

decided to lie to congress and the American people to get your war. We

are not surrendering Mr. Bush, you are:

 

You surrendered the claim that there were WMD in Iraq. Perhaps you'd

like to resurrect it? After all, it is how you " justified " all of this.

 

You surrendered your claim that the revenue from oil would pay for the

reconstruction. Perhaps you'd like to return several hundred billions

of dollars back into the United States treasury? No? Now you've waved

two white flags in front of the world. But there is more. A lot more.

 

You surrendered your claim that there was a link between Al Qaeda and

Saddam Hussein. You admitted there wasn't, before you continued making

the claim through your proxies. What do we call someone who waves a

white flag and then has someone else start shooting again? Three white

flags.

 

You surrendered your administration's claims that we'd " probably be

out of Iraq in 12 weeks. " Three months has turned into three years.

The price has been the lives of more than two thousand two hundred of

our children; the ones you lied to. Four white flags, yet the bodies

of our children still stack up every week like grotesque firewood on

the kindling of your lies.

 

You surrendered our economy; you surrendered a multi-trillion dollar

surplus to the communist government of China, whom you've placed the

American people in debt to for trillions more. Five white flags.

 

You surrendered the honor of the fallen in Iraq; refusing to let the

American people see their sacrifice, choosing to hide their funerals

from our sight. This is the shame of any murderer. This is now six

white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered in Afghanistan; you withdrew 80 percent of our forces

when they had not achieved victory by your own definition; Bin Laden

was not captured or killed, and YOU quit the mission. Seven white

flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered America's reputation as a decent nation to the entire

world Mr. Bush. You were repeatedly warned, and you valued your

diabolical blood lust and messianic delusions of grandeur more than

the United States' good name. Eight white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered our constitution and Bill of Rights to the 9-11

hijackers after September 11th. Nine white flags Mr. Bush.

 

Speaking of 9-11, you surrendered New York City immediately, choosing

to spend your time after you knew we were under attack, sitting in a

kindergarten room reading " My Pet Goat. " 3,000 US citizens died

horrible deaths on international television as you did…..NOTHING. Ten

white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You did it all again when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and

Mississippi. Maybe you were trying to be consistent; You sat on your

useless a$$ on vacation after you were warned, and again, our people

died. And even their daily deaths did not move you to take command

until the damage was complete; Like New York. Like Iraq. Eleven white

flags now Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered the Geneva Convention Mr. Bush; saying " we do not

torture. " After you tortured, again and again, and were caught. This

you said as you said you'd veto any bill banning … torture. A dozen

white flags for what you have surrendered Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered America's war on poverty. You actually cut funding to

pay for school lunches for poverty stricken children too poor to

actually eat properly. You surrendered this to less than one fifth of

one percent of the people; billionaires. Thirteen white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered our borders after 9-11; you even went so far as to

attempt to grant amnesty to foreign nationals who'd committed the

crime of breaching our borders. This you did after you claimed you

were going to make us safer. I guess shredding the Bill of Rights was

your preference Mr. Bush. Fourteen white flags.

 

You surrendered every American's right to privacy. In its place you

put a slogan with the word " patriot " in it. Fifteen white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered a chance to build an actual coalition to deal with the

supposed " threat " presented by Saddam Hussein. Oh you called it a

" coalition of the willing. " You even claimed it was " bigger than your

[sic] father's. " Of course it wasn't. You went so far as to list

Micronesia as a member. I suggest that the reality is that compared to

your father, it is tragically " micro " Mr. Bush. Perhaps this has been

the problem all along? Has America been held hostage to little

George's personal shower trauma from childhood? Sixteen. white flags

Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered you own opportunity to actually fight for your country;

You argued that Vietnam was " just " and that the United States " had to

win. " Then you had your Dad get you into a unit of the Texas Air

National Guard which insured you'd never have to see combat. Maybe we

should have started with this one; it's one of your first white flags

as a so-called man. But we'll call it number seventeen here; seventeen

white flags of surrender you've waved Mr. Bush.

 

You've surrendered America's war on pollution. You've chosen to

supposedly believe that " global warming " is " a myth " , and to let

industry dump millions of tons of toxic waste into our precious rivers

and air. Eighteen white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered our public education system; You created a law called

" No child left behind " which demands students test higher or teachers

would be penalized, and then you provided no funding for the phony

mandate. It appears that you loath the people who teach our children.

I wonder why. Nineteen white flags Mr. Bush.

 

You surrendered in Saudi Arabia. Usama Bin Laden demanded that

" American infidels leave the Holy Soil of Medina and Mecca " ; you

pulled the troops out. You surrendered to Bin Laden's demands that

Saddam Hussein be removed as Iraq's ruler, and that Iraq become an

Islamic State; You did just as he asked, and now alcohol, " western

music, " and unveiled women are gone from Iraq, its formerly secular

government replaced by one based on Sharia; Islamic law. That is

Twenty white flags Mr. Bush.

 

As for the twenty-first white flag, this one you refuse to finally

wave; You get to avoid waving it, so long as our children continue to

die by the dozens for nothing; our own children are now " presented " in

death as " flags " ; you call it " honor. " We call it a disgrace to all

that is decent, a crime against the military, a crime against

everything this nation once stood for, the principles of which you've

surrendered again and again and again.

 

Let me be clear with you Mr. Bush: This is not our white flag. We are

not surrendering to our enemy. Not in the least. What you have failed

to understand is who the enemy is; It's you. You are our enemy. You

are the enemy of America. We have not surrendered to you Mr. Bush. We

are intent upon driving you and your kind from our midst. We're sick

of the surrendering of our country by the likes of you. The

twenty-first flag will be waved by you Mr. Bush. I have it on twenty

to one odds.

 

Sincerely,
