Thom Hartmann is on AAR right now saying that Democrats have to start talking about Iraq as an occupation. We won the war. The war is over because we toppled the government, captured Saddam and disbanded the military. Now we are occupiers. The American people will get behind that message. Then, we can propose how we effectively redeploy troops in order to win the larger "war on terrorism."
This is the only way that we can get our message to the American people. We'd get air time because there would be a different view to report on.
I e-mailed my Senators and I suggest that everyone else does too.
