The Devil's Grip

There is a medical terminology for a patient that unexpectedly collapses and is out for days, and then bedridden for many more. That term is known as simply "The Devil's Grip".

This medical condition is seldom talked about, and seldom diagnosed, but can leave a person totally incapacitated.

There is also a term known as "The Devil's Grip" that pertains to politics and how decisions can grip millions around the country.

America is in "The Devil's Grip" as we watch the Bush administration keep a nation paralyzed over a war that has caused death and destruction to both the Iraqi's and also U.S soldiers and their families.

The Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in early November, mainly due to the publics outrage over the war.

Bush claims he is open to ideas on Iraq, but his spokesman Tony Snow and his "father in residence" Dick Cheney say they won't leave Iraq, and they won't be swayed by any elections.

In November alone, 1370 Iraqi's have been killed as the civil war grows more violent. October saw 1216 Iraqi deaths. These figures don't include the deaths of U.S soldiers.

The public spoke on November 7th and their voices of outrage cost Bush his comrades, in the congress.

Bush says he will not leave Iraq without victory. He can't seem to explain what that really means.

Bush is also making plans to invade Iran, for their oil and Haliburton's rebuilding schemes. Bush doesn't take into account that his first war against a country with no army, can't be won.

The American people want out of Iraq. They want the U.S soldiers to be safe and at home with their families.

Bush refuses to heed the calls and election results of the American people. America is in the clutches of "The Devil's Grip".

That devil is George W. Bush.
