This is where he falls on his face. Congress holds the power of the purse and the left has said nothing to this effect. Anyone ever hear of the loyal opposition? The usual sound bite Haliburton hate thread is tiresome. Second tax cuts have bolstered this economy dispite Kerry's drivel about the worst economy in 50 years. All have benefitted from this prosperity, and to indicate that all have not benefitted or that tax cuts were for some secret handshake group is asinine and irresponsible. This is nothing more that class envy and class warfare. Third Check the Heritage Foundation as they did a comprehensive study of the demographics that make up the American military, and it is not as portrayed by Samsam or Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. And finally how committed or sincere is his desire to find Osama. He has ripped the party in power, and there are many many reasons and rational you could use to make that arguement, but instead we get soundbite leftwing tripe. There is plenty of meat on that bone. But to spew this election stunt BS is intellectually weak. I haven't yet heard any plan from the left on how to kill or arrest Osama. Our troops are chasing Osama, not our president. His attempted slight at the president is a contemptable slap at our troops.
The troops don't go anywhere without orders and funding from Congress and the President. In effect, the troops aren't chasing Osama, the President is. Absolutely no one on earth thinks Osama was/is in Iraq, nor was Al-Queda or terrorism until the inept destruction of the country converted it into a vast school of terrorism, complete with weapons. Not only are terrorists schooled in the art of guerrilla/terrorist tactics, new methods are developed daily, and their political power and corrupt religion grows and influences more and more of the world. For every terrorist we kill, dozens of innocents are killed. For every innocent we kill, more terrorists are born.
The administration lied/misrepresented/didn't understand the facts it gave to Congress, the American people and the U.N. as the reason for the invasion and overthrow of Iraq. The same pattern has persisted through the conduct of the war right up to the present and the administration has no plan what to do but stay the course and accuse anyone with any notion to get out as an unpatriotic cut and runner.
In Afghanistan, not much more than control of some major cities was accomplished before the shift to Iraq. Most of the country was left in control of local warlords. They have won the hearts and minds of the people by providing what little infrastructure mudhut, medieval minded people will accept and be gratefull for. Just enough schooling by Taliban Mullahs for obedient males to read the Koran. Some minimal health care. Food. Now we have the Taliban/warlords retaking the country, fueled by the profits of more opium production than was ever achieved before the U.S. arrived.
So I am tiresome, assinine, and irresponsible. A spewer of tripe, intellectually weak bullshit who has fallen on my face. I guess if you take into consideration the opinions of a big chunk of America and a majority of the rest of the world, W and I and the right have a lot in common.
