Letter: He missed a few

Will the miracles never cease.

President George W. Bush recently admitted he made some missteps. On May 25, Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair acknowledged mistakes in carrying out their Iraq plan. President Bush cited two mistakes. I would like to remind him of a few more:

-- Using “Shock and Awe” bombing, indiscriminately killing thousands of innocent civilians.

-- Discharging the Iraq Army.

-- Allowing the looting to continue.

-- Not securing the Iraq border.

-- Not securing Iraq ammunition sites.

-- Torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison.

-- Abusing prisoners rights at Guantanamo Bay prison.

-- Not adequately supplying our troops with enough body armor or armor for their vehicles.

-- Winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi’s by bombing wedding parties, shooting and killing a pregnant women being rushed to the hospital to deliver her baby, etc.

-- The siege of Fallujah killing more than 4,000 Iraqis using depleted uranium, a radiation weapon, and white phosphorus, a chemical weapon.

-- The latest atrocity of the massacre of 24 unarmed civilians in Haditha, allegedly slaughtered for revenge in retaliation for the death of one Marine.

-- The biggest mistake of all — sending our troops unnecessarily to Iraq based on false premises.

Latest toll 2,503 dead American soldiers with 18,490 wounded, tens of thousands of innocent Iraq civilians killed and wounded.

Heck of a job, Bushie.
