Take a close look at this chart. We are failing in Iraq - miserably.

Our own military - they prepared this chart - knows it. Look how close they put us to total "Chaos."

George Bush has been a complete and utter failure.

You might not know it from watching CNN today, but I assure that this is the singular issue of the coming election. And it has everything to do with what America stands for and who were are as a people.

America has always been about justice, progress, and a better way of life. By turning Iraq into a monumental failure of unimaginable violence, George Bush and his Republican cronies have squandered that legacy. It may be too late to make this disaster right, but we must try.

"Stay the course" has failed America in the most shameful way. By refusing to address or even acknowledge mistakes made in Iraq, Bush and his allies have thrown away the greatness of our nation. And all they have to show for it is a "Support the Troops" bumper sticker.

The American people have had enough. That's why we're going to throw the bums out on Election Day. We simply have to before it's too late.
