Iraq war & the American Economy

While Senator McCain is speaking of keeping the American Forces in Iraq with no deadline, the economy is taking a big hit and nearing collapse. I fail to see how Senator McCain would even go out with his plans and campaign to be a president.

The American people are paying for this war and funding it and it seems the Senator does not care of the crisis at home as he insists that more forces should be sent into Iraq which means more tax dollars to be channeled towards those troops. Really, is the Senator that blind, what should happen before he can see that the war is draining the nation? I guess his followers are billionaires who are not feeling the tough times because a true middle class American would be against this war.

With Iraq calling for the tax dollars on one end and Afghanistan on the other hand, America is stretched and this is the time to cut losses. If the war in Iraq has been a true success as Senator McCain and President Bush say then it is time for the Iraq's to lead their nation and protect their people. It is way past time and enough is enough, the men and women in uniform must now come back home to their families and get some form of life. More than enough tax dollars have been spent on this war and it is time this stops so that the American economy can be strong as it was before all this war.

To Senator McCain I say " its time to put the economy on the front page of your campaign plans and shut down the war in Iraq, families need their parents,children and nephews back from Iraq. Senator please let your economic advisers tell you the truth and listen to what the nation is saying not what you feel will appeal to the nation which needs an economic shake up."
