SHAME ON YOU SENATE!
U.S. Senators Who Vote for Iraq Withdrawal �Have Blood on Their Hands� Says MAF Chair
(WASHINGTON, DC) � In response to the vote by the U.S. Senate on a congressional proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, before they have completed their missions, the nation�s largest grass-roots pro-troop organization has announced its strong disapproval of the actions by 50 members of the United States Senate.
�The Senators who voted to undercut our troops have blood on their hands � the blood of U.S. troops who will die from attacks by terrorists who will be emboldened by the Senate�s cowardice,� said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.
�Our troops on the ground in the middle of a war don�t need to have their missions� undermined by some armchair generals in Washington, D.C. If these Senators won�t stand behind our men and women on the frontlines, then perhaps they would prefer to stand in front of them,� Morgan said.
�This action by the U.S. Senate sends a message to the terrorists that they are winning, and that the leaders of our Congress lack the will and resolve to win the war on terrorism,� Morgan said.
The move by the Senate comes concurrent to the launch of a national pro-troop advertising campaign that takes to task those who seek to undermine support for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The ad is being broadcast with a national television and print advertising buy. The ads can be seen online at the Move America Forward website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org.

"The exact number of people who died as a result of the Khmer Rouge's policies is debated as is the cause of death among those who died. Access to the country during Khmer Rouge rule and during Vietnamese rule was very limited. The Vietnamese-installed regime that succeeded the Khmer Rouge claimed that 3.3 million had died. Neither CIA reports nor Vietnamese claims are considered credible sources by modern historians. While modern research has located mass graves from the Khmer Rouge era all over Cambodia, the causes of death of the people in the graves is open to dispute and interpretation. Contemporary estimates of executions range from 250,000 to 1,500,000.
The United States Department of State and the State Department funded Yale Cambodian Genocide Project give estimates of the total death toll as 1.2 million and 1.7 million respectively. Amnesty International gives estimates of the total death toll as 1.4 million. R. J. Rummel, an analyst of historical political killings, gives a figure of 2 million. Former Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot gave a figure of 800,000. Khieu Samphan said 1 million had died."
and also dont forget that tens of thousands of Kurds died in norther Iraq after the US backed down on its drive to over throw Saddam in the early 90s
this is starting to look like a sad record
