Why I created Boycott Bush's Texas

Boycott Bush's Texas is about the "endless war in Iraq".

It is Sept 28, and the "surge" debate was lost (again). Not only do we now have to wait another Friedman Unit (6 months) before "things look better", "we'll turn the corner", or "give the current military tactic time to work", but we need another TWO or THREE or TEN more Friedman Units. We clearly voted in November 2006 for what we thought was a course change for the Iraq war. The President pretended to agree with us, but as you now know he tried the "surge" as a so-called course change. The congress can't seem to do s**t except pass non-binding resolutions condemning Rush Limbaugh for being, well, Rush Limbaugh.

So Boycott Bush's Texas. Boycott businesses in Texas. Fair? No. It is no more fair than the Iraq war based on bad intel. It is no worse than the missionless course of action we have to babysit a civil war, when such a thing has historically been impossible. A boycott of Texas businesses is no more fair than the 3,000,000,000 dollars per week that the war costs. It is no more fair than the broken families such as Mary and Danny. Danny is four years old (yes, born in 2003!), has attention deficit problems and needs a father. But the President needs Danny's father more, and for 15 months in Afghanistan.

So Boycott Bush's Texas. IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, because the congress and the executive branch won't listen to us.

I'll have lists of companies to boycott, lists of companies that are off the hook, and presumably letters to write to the companies, etc, etc, as I figure out how to do them.

Thanks for reading. Boycott Bush's Texas makes no sense, it's just hurtful to the President. But he started it.
