After sharply criticizing President Bush for the invasion of Iraq and his post-war policies, delegates at the APWU convention on Aug. 23-27 approved a resolution that stated: "Resolved, the American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO calls for an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq, the implementation of a plan to turn over sovereignty to the people of Iraq as soon as possible, and the return of U.S. troops to their homes and families."

Okay! Lets see . . .
"an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq": DONE - 1 July 2004 (or was it June??)
"the implementation of a plan to turn over sovereignty to the people of Iraq as soon as possible": DONE - Final Phase started 1 July 2004, ends when the elections are held in January 2005.
"and the return of U.S. troops to their homes and families": Does this include the troops in Korean (50 years and counting), Germany (60 years and counting) and other places as well?

"CWA demands that the President abandon his failed policy (of preventive war) which has made our nation less — not more — secure, and support our troops and their families by bringing our troops home safely now, by providing adequate veterans' benefits and promoting domestic policies that prioritize the needs of working people who make up the bulk of the military."

Oh, boy . . .
Can the CWA provide some concrete evidence that the US is LESS secure due to the President's actions?
"and support our troops and their families by bringing our troops home safely now": See my comment above regarding Korea & Germany.
"by providing adequate veterans' benefits": I believe this is the responsibility of the CONGRESS.
"promoting domestic policies that prioritize the needs of working people who make up the bulk of the military.": are you refering to civilian contractors or military personnel? I would contend that ALL military personnel are "working people" and thier "needs" are not exactly the same as "domestic" civilian needs.
