Military Ready for a Change

Bush may very well try again to prevent the military ballots from being counted. A report in the Christian Science Monitor indicates some pretty strident animosity toward Bush.

"Nobody I know wants Bush," says an enlisted soldier in Najaf, adding, "This whole war was based on lies." Like several others interviewed, his animosity centered on a belief that the war lacked a clear purpose even as it took a tremendous toll on US troops, many of whom are in Iraq involuntarily under "stop loss" orders that keep them in the service for months beyond their scheduled exit in order to keep units together during deployments.

The lack of a clear definition of why we're in Iraq is causing some serious grumbling among our soldiers. This could spell trouble for Bush come election day.
