23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War.
4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded.
At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense.
America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people.
Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East.
I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did.
Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget.
Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

Vin Diesal with a walkoff blast to right field to win 11-10 against Willmington University. 2 HRd on the day for Eramo, 1 HR from DeAndrade, and 9 Ks in relief from Pavia.
FINAL: Billerica 23 Methuen 13.
Trailing 13-8 in the 4th.
Then Mike Murnane and Steven Gentile with touchdowns. Cole Dillon huge defensive plays. Gus O’Gara a key reception.
Billerica stays undefeated and has now beaten Central Catholic, Tewksbury, and Methuen on the road
Billerica takes its 1st lead of the night with 9:51 left on this 10-yard TD run by Mike Murnane. Murnane also tosses 2-pt pass on fake PAT. 16-13 @IndianPride2023 @newftbj@BMHSAthletics
It makes sense why some players want to give excuses for their losses to the Patriots.
The dynasty run was ridiculously dominant. Just beating teams down for 2 decades.
Very impressed today by Billerica’s front of Cole Dillon, Tyler Bornstein, Xavier Mosley, and Dan Moore. Strong on the offensive line as well.
Hats off to Duane Sigsbury for playing Central Catholic and on the road.
Indians living up to the preseason hype.
