So how can any economy be balanced if an unneccessary war is taking the lives of our young folks and draining our resources to the tune of millions of dollars per day? I am waiting for the Democrats to call the cost of war in Iraq with regards to Blackwater and Halliburton etc…it will be really messy. McC does not have a real plan on the economy, he just recycles the republic mantra of letting big business do what it likes at the expense of main street folks – can you say tax cuts only for the rich?. Note that several articles of impeachment – for breaking important laws – are in place, but held up pending in the judicial committee, lodged against Bush and Cheney. Remember that our laws and constitution are apparently what sets us apart from many countries. Also the Republicans are arguing the Iraq war and the so-called battle against islamic extremist from a point of view lacking in knowledge.
The facts of the islamic extremism are as follows:
1. The branch of fundamentalist islam is called wahabism – and relates to an ultra conservative sunni faith.
2. The ultra conservative/wahabi sunni’s treat safi and shia as apostates – ie no better than jews or christians.
3. Wahabism started in Iraq but is still commonplace in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan etc – even after several schools where shut down after 9/11.
4. Funded by Saudi Arabia oil dollars the wahabi have become very powerful in the islamic world, and have a influential role in islamic religious reform in the ME region.
5. So when the Iraqi’s hold their elections and the Sunni’s take an active part – hopefully they are the moderate ones not the wahabi.
6. Occupying for an extended period an islamic nation means that the extremist gain legitimacy, better to do the deed (get Saddam) and then leave.
7. Iraqi lawmakers have again recently asked us to leave their country.
Hopefully the democrats will have achange of heart and actually continue impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney on Iraq etc now in the Judicial committee. It would be nice in the 4th July addresses expected from both nominees, if Obama launches a full attack on republican breaches of law.
Once again repulicans are convenient with the truth or just dont know where the facts are at basically, also I do think that they doth protest too much.
