I have been listening to the hearing on , which is Live on channel 205 with Dish NetWork, "REPORT ON IRAQ" but they are calling it "PROGRESS IN IRAQ" I am sorry to hear a lot of what I am and therefore I can't help but post something about this.

I continue to email President Bush and other government officials, PLEASE, IT IS TIME TO GET OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ. How many more precious Americans are going to loose their lives in Iraq, isn't it high time that the Iraq government take responsability of governing and manning it's own military and take over what it should be doing.

I have copied and pasted this paragraph from the AP Press report from my yahoo of today,

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told parliament Monday that Iraqi forces are not ready to defend the country without U.S. help despite what he termed major improvements in security in Baghdad since the American troop buildup began this year.

To the above quote I ask, "WHY NOT?"

With all I have said above, then I might like to add, why isn't the government here in our country doing what it should to upgrade the failing bridges, and also the water lines in this country that provide us with drinking water are so old they need to be replaced, with the increasing of outbreak of many diseases, could it be coming from that which is not healthy to drink, our precious commodity of drinking water. We buy the bottled water but then how do we know where that comes from. Last year being in a restaurant and served my drinking water to see couple worms floating in it
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH really made me question the purity of our sources of water.

I think our government needs to direct more attention to its much needed priorities here in the United States, yes and our troops could be doing much here to help upgrade the systems instead of abroad and dying for a cause that another country should be able to take over doing for itself.
I support all our troops with our prayers daily and to their families for all your sacrifices, regardless of my feelings about the Iraq and Afghan. situations, I will continue to pray for the day all of our troops from these countries will be back home.

I am not proof reading this as it is coming forth from my heart and don't want to go back reread,as each and all which I have said here is a conviction of my heart and want to put forth just that.
