Again, Fredrick Kagan comes to defend the AEI plan for building a new Iraq. He states that by going house to house securing the neighborhoods in Bagdad. Kagen says the people of Iraq want peace. I want to see the women and the children in this area prosper and see their streets secured and safely rebuilt. We need to educate the youth providing a safe and secure Iraq will eventually benefit everyone globally. But the military hasn’t been able to provide security after clearing neighborhoods. Without supporting the community after they clear it we leave the people to endure another takeover by radical groups. Kagen knows after the people feel secure the other Democratic processes can exist.
We have created a quagmire in Iraq. We cannot turn our back on the people of Iraq. The people of Iraq faced Saddam Hussein, they were restricted from the global community, because of their leader, but they were stable. The American people stood back and watched President Bush justify going to war in this region. We didn't choose to go to war? Congress wrote an open check. The majority of Americans didn't respond when they should have is the real reason. Do we have a responsibility to the Iraq people now? In today’s world, with our reputation in the dirt, we need to be proactive and be the world power we say we are. I agree, Bush and his greedy bunch put us in this position. But I am an Accountable American! We have a terrible reputation for destroying nations then leaving. We are turning our back on the rebuilding, there by teaching the children of destroyed neighborhoods we do not come in peace. If we leave, we are the enemy to these women and children. They will be easily recruited for terror cells, those who plot against the American People. We need to listen to our Generals for a change. It would be nice to see how the Chain of Command would react to this War! We also need to hold President Bush, and Vice President Cheney accountable for going to war in this region for profit. He didn’t have any proof before he went into Iraq, there were WMD. The U.N. wouldn’t back him, and he had to resort to the statement, “You are either with us or against us” As an American, I felt, I had to support him, or I would be Non-American. I should have stood up and said something then. But I don’t have a time machine. We need to show the global community we are responsible for our administration, and we will hold them accountable.
Kagen insists laying out this plan is the only way we can secure Iraq, unfortunately I agree. We, the People in America have created a problem in Iraq, according to the laws of war, we must assist in the rebuilding of this country. To rebuild, we must secure. By securing this area, our troops will work hand in hand with the Iraqi's clearing homes in Bagdad. Should we secure at least one area in Iraq before we leave, Yes. I think we should assist the people to see safety and stability in one area, it could grow. Democrats are willing to sustain troop levels. That's very dangerous to the military. The military needs to determine what it needs to win in this region. The troops need help now. Can we stop this Jawboning, and get down to business. Look at the situation outside the box. The women and children in this region depend on us for security, what could that hurt. If we leave with our tails between our legs, we are showing the fanatics‘. I don't want to see the people in Iraq, who depend on us, the ones who like us, to turn against us because they don't think I care. I want to stay long enough to ask them their opinions on the matter. We have seen this ethnical cleansing before with Saddam Hussein, if we leave it will be open season on those who supported us.

Our Safety HR1
It's nice to see Congress getting right to work. Especially knowing full oversite is back in the house. We have gotten to used to passing bills based on fear alone. We need to regain a whole lot of ground, and that starts with securing America. This bill has promise for both.
The speaker of the house Nancy Peloski has been involved on the ground level with the Iraq Report. She hails from California, a progressive state, where we grow strong women very well. California is the leader in Progressive Politics. Nancy Pelosi states "HR 1 provides real over site and protection of the American People"
Lee Hamilton points out, "The bottom line is that if this bill HR1 is enacted, funded and implemented the American People will be safer. The terrorist are plotting on the American people and will not wait, this bill is a question of urgency." Hamilton has felt very confused that so many of the commissions recommendations regarding Iraq have been ignored leaving him frustrated stating, "they need to be put into law sooner better than later". Hamilton states "This Congress needs to send a message, it is a priority for the safety of the American people"
Ben Thompson D-Mississippi Homeland Security Committee, Chairman, points out, "We are looking forward to the senate working for us." We needed a bill that allow first responders to communicate. Mr. Thompson states, "HR 1 is very important legislation", pointing out this program will secure airline travel with full air cargo screening in 3 years. He stated they are working with the Airlines to provide 100% baggage screening, within 4 years. Along with safer ports in 3 years. This Bill will require all agencies to share information and work with each other, in "fusion centers". By working together as a team effort with committee members, appropriations committee, and intelligence department, "in the spirit of lets get it done"
"Efforts will continue tomorrow to strengthen further committee's", says David Obey Rep. D-Wisconsin. Mr. Obey feels , "in the past the appropriation committee have been blocked by previous over site, in very delicate areas". For example, in the recent past, there was a separate Intelligence agency created by Rumsfield, who blocked the appropriations committee by appointing an independent agency and essentially going around congress is over. Mr. Obey feels this Bill will solve that problem. Stating they have followed the example of the taxation committee, "we will annually audit them so they are going well". Congress will have the ability to over site budget items included withing the intelligence community. Obey stated "We want the intelligence to understand they are dealing with the independent branch of government, it is our job to balance the other". The speaker of the house will also be involved as well as the appropriations committee over site.
Kirsten Gillibrand a new Rep in the house states, "This bill will increase the our intelligence by sharing information, and checking 100% of the containers that come into our ports, including checking every container for nuclear matter, and includes safety for our first responders."
This bill is going to be voted on tomorrow in the promised 100 hours of congress!
Tim Roemer feels American will be safer when this passes and is implemented, stating 110th congress is off to a great start.Things seem to be looking up. With congressional over site back in action, and Congress members sharing their ideas and debating can once again continue on the hill. It is very dangerous when all agree. We have lost so much over the last 6 years. We have thrown our constitutional rights along side Habeas Corpus head first into the quagmire with disbelief, a free America ever existed . Now, the ground must regained by this congress less Bush rear his decapitated head. There are many things to be hopeful about. Passing this bill is a big step for America. It deals with WMD by implements the 911 commission recommendations, Congressional Reform allowing congress to clean house, and strengthen congressional over site, and empower the committee members. Making progress of hearts and minds of the people around the world. We need to communicate to our allies around the world. Showing them we care what they think about us. Our enemy is changing quickly and we need to change with them, quickly responding to the changing world around us.
