Their official statement that shows they're not responsible for demoralizing our troops.

4. Aren't you hurting the morale of the troops by demanding that they be brought home?

The Bring Them Home Now! Campaign is not causing the morale problems currently being experienced by our men and women in uniform.

We did not send our troops into harm's way based on lies told to the American people. We did not lie about uranium in Niger. We did not tell the American people there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11 when there isn't. We did not use fear as a weapon against the people of our country, as the administration always has.

We did not spit in the eye of the UN and world public opinion and decide to attack Iraq almost alone.

We did not tell the world that the Iraqi people would throw flowers as foreign invaders arrived to occupy their land indefinitely and pump their oil out.

We did not send our troops into battle and the ensuing occupation without a plan to provide sufficient housing, food, water and Kevlar vests, and without a clue about how to deal with the resistance they are now facing.

We did not privatize logistical and support services resulting, among other things, in a 5 week delay for some troops in getting their mail.

We did not tell the troops they'd be coming home, then change their return dates again and again.

We did not start rushing troops back to the Middle East battle zone only months after their first deployment ended.

We did not put National Guard and Reserve units, trained to respond to natural disasters, and heavy armored divisions from the regular Army into a situation where military policing is the most useful skill–and where they don't know the language, the people or the culture. Nor did we extend their tours of duty.

We did not expose a single troop to ambush for no good reason, place them in 120 degree heat, expose them to depleted uranium or give them untested vaccines. We did not force them into the terrible split second decisions that lead to the taking of innocent lives.

We did not cut veterans benefits while our troops are off in battle.

The administration and the Pentagon did all these things, and they are responsible for the collapse of morale.
