With Memorial Day only two days away, the Democratic party has again dishonored and exploited our troops in their callous Jihad to regain the political power the voters decidely took away from them and will continue to take away from them in elections.
Below is yet another Democrat party email exploiting our troops and Memorial Day (see their previous email signed by (former) Governor Howard Dean at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1412198/posts).

Demand a Congressional Investigation of Bush's Iraq War Lies

Dear Activist,
Monday is Memorial Day, the day we honor our fallen soldiers.
Our hearts are especially heavy this year because 1,653 soldiers have died in the past 26 months in Iraq.
Another 12,348 have been maimed, and tens of thousands are suffering from PTSD.
And things are only getting worse, not better: the majority of those killed (903) died in the 12 short months since Memorial Day 2004.
Our sadness would be diminished if we could say these brave young men and women died to defend America.
But that simply isn't true, because George W. Bush lied to us.
We now know there were no WMD's in Iraq in 2002. We also know there were no ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda or 9-11.
George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, and countless others insisted there were. But they were lying - all of them.
On May 1, the Times of London finally exposed the truth. It came in the form of the minutes of a secret war council led by Tony Blair at the Prime Minister's office on Downing Street on July 23, 2002 - eight full months before Bush invaded Iraq. The head of British intelligence reported on his trip to Washington:
"Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Read it carefully: Bush was determined to invade Iraq, and he was prepared to tell whatever lies he needed to tell to scare Americans into war.
This "smoking gun" caused a firestorm in the British media. Here in the U.S., the media barely reported it. Why? Because our media enthusiastically helped Bush tell his lies. And they want to make sure Americans never learn the truth.
Today, Democrats.com and a powerful coalition of progressive allies set out to break the media's silence and tell Americans the truth.
We are building a massive grassroots movement to support an historic letter by Constitutional scholar John Bonifaz, who is urging Congress to pass a "Resolution of Inquiry" directing the House Judiciary Committee to launch a formal investigation into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to impeach George W. Bush.*
Of course, passing this Resolution will require a majority in the House, which is firmly controlled by Tom DeLay and his right-wing Republican allies.
DeLay is a formidable obstacle. But we simply cannot let him stand in the way of the truth after so many young Americans have died.
Please join me in urging your Representative to support this Resolution of Inquiry about Iraq.

1,653 brave young Americans will be mourned by their families this Memorial Day.
It is time to hold George Bush accountable for the soldiers who died because of his lies.
