An Open Letter to the President

Dear Mr President,

I hope this letter finds you well.

At the risk of appearing to be wishy-washy I think it's time for you to go ahead and admit the whole "invasion of Iraq" idea was a huge, misguided mistake. The NIE report says so (or at least the parts we're allowed to see), same with the ever escalating "innocent citizens" body count. Terrorists activities are on the upswing, last week had the highest number of suicide bombings since the US arrived low these many years ago and if the 60 unidentified dead bodies that turned up yesterday are a clue, we'll end this week at an all time high for bloodletting, our own personal best! It's just not looking good, headline wise. If you want to wait until after the midterm elections in order to help your cronies then I guess that's better than never, but I want a guarantee on that admission. If you agree to publicly admit you screwed the pooch on this one I promise to not call you a flip-flopper and as an extra bonus I'll agree to cutting down on the use of the term "that asshole" proceeding your proper name.

Oh, and the global warming thing? It's a real threat so maybe you should address that, too, while you're at it. Just saying.


Take care!

Suz


PS I hope you got a chance to watch the Scissor Sisters on "Dancing With the Stars" last night, they did an awesome job although they didn't have the same level of energy they usually give off in concert. I know you're busy with important global issues and all but you should make time to relax every once in a while----have you noticed how much you've aged in the last 6 years? And you can't blame it on the hardcore partying, can ya? :-)
