HW 17: Giulani's Run is Over

The blog that interested me the most out of the blogs I’m watching would have to be the first post on the “The Democratic Party Blog” which is located at http://www.democrats.org/blog.html. The headline reads, Giulani Wants MORE Troops Overseas. Rudy Giulani, a leading candidate in the race for the republican presidential seat and former New York Mayor I believe has taken himself out of this contest with these comments. The majority of our nation are fed up with the disaster that is the Iraqi War and Giuliani is purposing we send “easily 60 or 70 thousand, maybe 100 thousand” troops into Iraq. At what cost though? This war is quickly turning into the second Vietnam. Hundred of thousands of innocent people have lost their lives already; we need to begin creating an exit stragedy. We have been in Iraq for over 4 years now and there has been no sign of weapons of mass destruction but there is a growing hatred of the United States in the Middle East. I use to respect Rudy Giuliani after the way he handled September 11th. Now he comes out at a town hall meeting in Windham, New Hampshire, and says we can “easily” send a hundred thousand more troops overseas. These are men and women my age or near my age, and they all have families. We need to get out of this war. Peace out Rudy.
