Many of us have been waiting for some type of special sneak preview from our politicians on how the war in Iraq should be turned around. The following is what most would like to hear:

Should we pull out of Iraq and go totally on the defense while creating thousands of Arab-speaking Americans to penetrate the enemy, or stay on the offense and continue to let the enemy turn our strength into a weakness? To deplete and unnerve our resources is the clear strategy of the enemy. Our strategy is to talk tough and ignore that an end is not in sight. To gain support internationally on the war on terror, the lines should be drawn in the psychology of our cause as well as the enemy.

Our presidential candidates should have the courage to show a preview of how the world would be better off if impeachment proceedings were started against the Bush administration.
