Soft Spoken War Monger For Hire


Will this be the mood of voters in November?
All he can run on is war and more war and what a success Iraq has become.
Major economists are now claiming the obvious, that the enormous spending in Iraq is far higher than claimed and has been a major cause of the current economic crisis.
So far, $3 trillion dollars conservatively when all the costs are factored in.
A few days funding could have provided health insurance to all U.S. children not covered.
A week's funding would have ended illiteracy in the world.
Even sadder, no one even cares or considers what the cost has been to Iraq.
William F. Buckley pointed out that in any other country, this level of catastrophic mismanagement and judgement would have caused the end of the government through parliamentary means.
Not so in the U.S.
In fact, after 8 years of failure, the Republicans will have to run on more of the same, claiming victory around the next corner... or admit what everyone else already accepts, that the Iraq war was wrong and was only continued for 8 years to save the ego of an idiot and to serve the ambitions of his big oil cronies, to steal control of the most lucrative oil in the world while claiming defense of America from terror.
