As the blood of US soldiers continues to drain into the hot sands of Iraq over the last several days with at least 27 US soldiers killed and the approval rating for his handling of the debacle in Iraq dropping to an all-time low of 38, Mr. Bush commented from the comforts of his ranch in Crawford, Texas today, "We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq."

Just a two hour drive away in Dallas, at the Veterans for Peace National Convention in Dallas, Im sitting with a roomful of veterans from the current quagmire.

When asked what he would say to Mr. Bush if he had the chance to speak to him, Abdul Henderson, a corporal in the Marines who served in Iraq from March until May, 2003, took a deep breath and said, "It would be two hits 8211 me hitting him and him hitting the floor. I see this guy in the most prestigious office in the world, and this guy says bring it on. A guy who aint never been shot at, never seen anyone suffering, saying bring it on? He gets to act like a cowboy in a western movie its sickening to me."

The other vets with him nod in agreement as he speaks somberly his anger seething.

One of them, Alex Ryabov, a corporal in an artillery unit which was in Iraq the first three months of the invasion, asked for some time to formulate his response to the same question.

"I dont think Bush will ever realize how many millions of lives he and his lackeys have ruined on their quest for money, greed and power," he says, "To take the patriotism of the American people for granted the fact that people (his administration) are willing to lie and make excuses for you while you continue to kill and maim the youth of America and ruin countless families and still manage to do so with a smile on your face."

Taking a deep breath to steady himself he continues as if addressing Bush first-hand "You need to resign, take the billions of dollars youve made off the blood and sweat of US service members.all the suffering youve caused us, and put those billions of dollars into the VA to take care of the men and women you sent to be slaughtered. Yet all those billions arent enough to even try to compensate all the people who have been affected by this."
