The End Times Are Here!
Made you look, fundamentalists!
No, I’m not talking about the end of the world of evangelical Christian mythology, the rapture that is supposed to leave a bunch of empty cars on the freeway in Arkansas as a precursor of Satan’s wrath on Earth. I’m talking about Iraq.
The end times of the Iraq War are nigh!
The following short statement was released by Senator Russ Feingold today: “The President says he supports our troops, yet he wants to keep them in the middle of an Iraqi civil war indefinitely. We cannot afford to continue the President’s disastrous Iraq policy, which has weakened our national security and undercut our fight against those who attacked us on 9/11. The bill Majority Leader Reid and I have proposed gives the President the time and the funding he needs to safely redeploy our troops from Iraq by March 31, 2008.”
Let March 31, 2008 be the time of the second coming… of peace. I’m surprised, but impressed, that Senator Feingold has the support of Senator Harry Reid for this legislation to set a firm end for the Iraq War before one year from today.
Oh, how I wish Russ Feingold were running for President in 2008.
I’m still waiting for the Library of Congress to release the text of Feingold and Reid’s legislation.
