6. Thanks! I signed the letter.
"Stay the course" is not a strategy, it's just rhetoric.

Americans know that Iraqis did not fly into the Twin Towers. Osama Bin Laden did and four years later he is still running free. Instead of going after him you chose to occupy Iraq and the result is we are responsible for the deaths of innocent Iraqis every day -- children who had nothing to do with 9/11.

Two years after it was brought to light that Halliburton/KBR was grossly overcharging and feeding soldiers rotten food, the practice continues. Two years after it became known that our soldiers lacked proper body armor and Congress appropriated 10s of billions of dollars to provide necessary protection, our soldiers' families still are asked to pay out of their pockets for life-saving protection. Soldiers continue to die needlessly each week from roadside bombs.

This war was a mistake built on a lie. It is time to develop a real exit strategy and start being honest with the American people. We're fed up!
