Hello BuzzFlash,
After hearing Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas continue to run interference
in defense of the current occupants of the White House, I decided to
send the following to his via his website:
My Goodness, Senator Roberts, you are pathetic in your brazen attempt to protect certain members of this administration.
As the father of a soldier in the U.S. Army, I ask that you, as a means of truly demonstrating your patriotism, please do our country one of two favors:
1. Support an independent investigation to determine if, how and when this administration mis-used intelligence in the months leading up to the Iraq war,
or
2. Resign.
I urge you to choose the former. The sooner we citizens in this country are exposed to how we ended up in this mess, the more realistic chance my son, and the other children who are being out in harm's way, have of surviving this mess.
If you intend to continue to allow members of this administration abuse our military and risk the lives of fine U.S. soldiers, then step aside and allow someone with the courage to stand up to what is going on on Washington demonstrate real leadership.
The lives of our troops (i.e. our sons, daughters, dads, mothers, brothers, sisters, neighbors, and friends) depend on it.
If
you or any of your readers wish to express your views in kind, his
website is: http://roberts.senate.gov/
Sincerely,
John Powell
