Re: Draft of Proposed Iraq War Resolution in Chicago City Council

It fails to call for bringing the troops home. “Withdrawal from Iraq” could be considered an endorsement of “Into Iran” by wretched warmongers. And “orderly and rapid” is nowhere near “immediately.”

Kudos for demanding US to aid Iraqi citizens, although only for “necessary security and rebuilding” and not for “well being” of Iraqi citizens.

Much more money should be appropriated from defense spending for domestic and urban health, education, and security than just that appropriated for spending on the Iraq “war.” US military spending is going out of this world and begs for more needless and more costly warlike actions that ultimately puts US & world in a less secure environment.

It endorses genocidal actions in this regard:

It fails to recognize:

1. Torture is wrong.
2. US actions have killed and maimed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi children and multiple more innocent civilians and it was needless and wrong.

It says:

1. Reports of US torture is a public relations failure.
2. Iraqi civilians “lives are being threatened.”
