Gold Star Family for Peace Bitchslaps Amer Legion

Live Jrnl- This is a Gold Star Families for Peace Member's Response by Diana Rowe Pauls to the Amer Legion's stance that people who protest the war in Iraq are giving aid & comfort to the enemy: In 1999, the American Legion wrote the following letter to President Clinton: The Amer Legion, a wartime vets organization of nearly 3 million members, urges the immediate w/drawal of US troops participating in "Operation Allied Force" in Yugoslavia. Mr. President, the United States Armed Forces should never be committed to wartime operations unless the following conditions are fulfilled: 1) That there be a clear statement by the Pres of why it is in our vital nat'l interests to be engaged in hostilities. 2) Guidelines be established for the mission, including a clear exit strategy. 3) That there be support of the mission by the U.S. Congress and the American people. 4) That it be made clear that US Forces will be commanded only by US officers whom we acknowledge are superior military leaders. It is the opinion of The Amer Legion, which I am sure is shared by the majority of Americans, that 3 of the above listed conditions have not been met in the current joint operation w/NATO. In no case should America commit its Armed Forces in the absence of clearly defined objectives agreed upon by the U.S. Congress in accordance with Art I, Sect 8, of the Constitution of the US. Really? Nice to see that you felt that way. So, what exactly has changed bitches? Hell, while I'm at it, here is a complete list of Clinton era anti-war quotes from the Iraq War Fans/ Chickenhawks of today. And by the way, as of Aug/05, a clear majority of Americans (56%) feel this war in Iraq (which is being fought w/Coalition Forces ya F-ing hypocrites) was not worth it, has been mismanaged, or has not made us safer from terrorism. Would you care to retort Amer Legion? Yeah... didn't think so.
