Don’t just Boot Bush – Reboot

tloyd — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:32:38 -0600

It’s pretty clear that the American people want to boot Bush & Co. out of the Whitehouse. Barack Obama’s message of change absolutely resonated in Iowa, stunning the country with an astounding win. Even on the Republican side, the insurgent who criticized the President’s “bunker mentality” beat the corporate Bush-apologist in Iowa. Change has been the recurring theme of this campaign so far.

Cookin' Oatmeal

As a writer, I frequently fall back on using a analogy to make a point. Today is one of those times.

The analogy is comparing what the United States needs to help settle world peace as compared to cooking oatmeal on top of a gas stove.

I am not against any one based on the color of their skin, gender. or religious persuasion.

I am dead set against any one who possibly endangers my country and it’s legal citizens.

The recent fiasco of permitting the illegal alien with tuberculosis to flagrantly cross our border and possibly infect untold numbers of innocent folks is a perfect example of my intolerance.

Iraq

We are engaged in a winless and merciless war in Iraq. We overthrew an egotistic dictator who thought nothing of throwing away lives in a meaningless conflict with Iran. Now, we mirror this historic act by throwing away lives in a civil conflict has no beginning or no end.

Any elected official who intends to win office or to retain that office had best work for a solution of withdrawal. The Russians lost in Afghanistan because they attempted to shore up a sympathetic puppet government, and we're walking down that same road in Iraq.

Let me get this straight as I hear some of the anti-war rhetoric being thrown around. “We can’t take military action if we haven’t been directly attacked. They didn’t do anything to us, just made threats”. Ok, with that logic, why did the U.S.

GAO reports almost total failure by Iraq government

bogdan — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 17:19:32 -0500

Now what!!

The GAO just reported that the Iraq government has not met most of the Legislative, Security and Ecomomic benchmarks. The benchmarks they met are almost meaningless.

Now what!!

Is our leadership going to take slow, deliberate and meaningless action because they feel guilty for the horrible mistake they made in the first place; or is somebody going to have the courage to step up and stop the human and ecomonic bleeding of our own country.

We DO need a TIMETABLE for withdrawl from Iraq!!!

Please everyone, stop worrying that establishing a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq will give any advantage to the terrorists.

We simply cannot leave in the middle of the night without anyone noticing. Therefore the notion that establishing a timetable will tell the terrorists know when its safe to come out and do what hey do, is nonsense. They are not in hiding today just waiting for us to leave.
