OK Barak Obama's middle name is Hussein which of course the Republican's are using to remind us that it was also the last name of an infamous dictator....and several million other people in the Middle East. OK....turn about is fair play.......how about John [Wilkes Booth]....how about him....he murdered a famous US President...and John [Hinckley], the guy who tried to kill your beloved President Reagan.......and crooks John [Wesley Harding] and John [Dillinger].....how about them? (all rotten Johns).................. now Please!
The Republican party line that the US must "win" the war in Iraq reminds me of the Vietnam War era, Gahan Wilson (Playboy Mag) cartoon of a lone soldier standing in the middle of a battlefield with unspeakable epocalyptic carnage surrounding him with every building destroyed far into the horizon. The caption is, as I recall, "I think we won".
Our pissing away 10 billion a month will never settle the issues between the Sunnis and the Shiites, but 10 billion a month would sure as heck help us at home......we need to "win" the economic war that is destroying our country very, very soon. We need to circle the wagons and re-assess the economic feasibility of our foreign policies. Something is very unsound about the decisions we have been making. Our belts can't get any tighter.....at least mine can't.
I hate to see Barack and Joe Beiden being so heavily criticised for not supporting the sudden build-up of troops in Iraq, which has become a main thrust of the Republican election effort. Qualifying the so called "surge" of troops that Republicans claim with much bravado as a turn around in the war in Iraq is reminiscent of the National embarrassment of George W. Bush's claim of "mission accomplished"................ to Purge the Surge.............Barack needs to point that out tonight. If the "surge" has, indeed made a difference, please stop all the "show boating"....... and act on that......wishing the Iraqi's well in the future and depart.....we can no longer afford to save everyone's butt on the planet............as an economy, we are now the stump of Shel Silverstein's "Giving Tree".......HELLO!
