Independent Sentinel

No matter what the news pundits would have you believe, it is always, it seems, the independents who decide elections. We are the great un-party. Independents (small "i") are not ideological. Sentinels are watchers. Figure us out.

The biggest mistake we ever made was allowing him to sit in the White House


The Second biggest mistake was believing him, when so many others were saying an invasion of Iraq woud be a tragic mistake.

Bush has made one tragic mistake after another, certainly aided by some of the most ideologically brain-dead people ever to hold high office, unchecked and unbalanced, in Washington.

The people need to call for their removal from office, post haste, and the Congress needs to act, for once, on the will of the people.

It is certainly in the best interest of the nation for someone to take responsibility for the catastrophe called Iraq, among other things.

Bush and Cheney won't.

So, it is up to the people, and their elected officials in the legislative branch. Let the investigations begin, and be quick about it. Time is not on our side.

Roberts: America wakes to dying dreams, dead soldiers:

His own words reflect no doubt or regret: 'Iraq is a central component of defeating the extremists who want to establish a safe haven in the Middle East, extremists who would use their safe haven from which to attack the United States. This is really the calling of our time, that is, to defeat the extremists and radicals.'But the president has not only lost the 'battle for hearts and minds' across the Arab world, he's lost it across the United States. The people of Bapchule and Oxford no longer believe his words or trust his judgment. Virtually everything he ever said to them about the war — from 'Mission Accomplished' to 'absolutely, we're winning' — has been wrong.

Once, Americans might have shared his vision of a free, self-governing Iraq, but not any more. He has squandered their trust and betrayed their patriotism. The parents of Thibodaux and Cheektowaga no longer want to sacrifice their children to a lost cause.The elections certainly showed that, and since his party's defeat, the president's standing has continued to deteriorate. In the latest CBS News poll, only 15 percent agree with him that America is winning the war. Even his closest supporters are jumping ship. Fewer than half of all Republicans, and only one-third of all conservatives, approve of the president's war strategy.

His own words reflect no doubt or regret: 'Iraq is a central component of defeating the extremists who want to establish a safe haven in the Middle East, extremists who would use their safe haven from which to attack the United States. This is really the calling of our time, that is, to defeat the extremists and radicals.'

(We agree, Mr. Bush, and some of those extremists and radicals are all around you!)










Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with each individual heart.
