Nancy Willing covers the Iraq Summer activities to date. This caught my ear…
During the question and answer session (on August 6th) at the end of the (Home Ownership) event, Rudi Batzell, a volunteer with the Iraq Summer Campaign, stood up and asked Mr. Castle how he could justify spending billions of dollars a month in Iraq when hardworking Delawareans couldn’t afford a home and many who owned a home were facing foreclosure. In his response to the question, Castle stated that “this war just needs to grind to the end.”
Hello…? Now Castle’s position is that the war will just peter out over time? Unreal.
In reality world (which Castle seems to have lost touch with) the only thing “grinding to an end” in Iraq are the lives countless Iraqis and the lives of our servicemen who have been treated like so much human refuse by Bush and Castle. In fact on August 6th, maybe as Castle was delivering his crazy-ass remarks, the following lives were “grinding to an end.”
