Letter: Americans getting steady diet of lies

Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2005 | 7:30 a.m.

How can supposedly sensible, sane people buy the drivel that President George W. Bush spouts? The Nov. 30 letter from Paul Larsen, "Democrats' false charges hurt nation," would be funny if he weren't so tragically deluded. He claims that any discontent with the war harms our troops and endangers our country here. What rot! Our troops are being harmed in Iraq without the proper armor and protection they sorely need.

As for this stupid logic of "better to fight in Iraq or they will kill us on our own turf," I'd like to ask Larsen and others of his ilk this question: With our forces in Germany, Japan, Korea, Bosnia and Saudi Arabia, to say nothing of Afghanistan and Iraq, why don't we bring them all here so we could fight when and if the time comes? As it is, we are spread so thin don't you think the terrorists are on to it and consider us sitting ducks? Wake up to the lies being perpetrated on us at home.
