Oh please...there is NO difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. As Ron Paul, the only sane politician in either party, said:
"We don't have a two-party system. We have a one-party system. Both parties endorse the welfare state and corporatism. Both parties support interventionism overseas."
WHY can't we just fire off a few hundred megaton nuclear warheads on the entire region and just be done with it......once and for all?
This action SHOULD define a victory pretty quick.
Along with REMOVING all the corrupt politicians in DC......aka (domestic enemies).
Get back to our nation's roots with a SMALL Federal Govt., no Fed. Reserve or IRS or DEA......and soooo many others!
STATES rights FIRST!
So long to OUR place in Globalization and all the offshoring and outsourcing that goes with it....and the trade deficits!
Bye bye to what got us so far off course and the dictatorial, fraudulent, deceitful, corrupt, banking industry, corporations, lawyers, judges, special interests and career politicians......and HELLO again to the US Constitution and our Bill of RIGHTS!
You know.....those couple of things that have pretty much been SCRAPPED for the past century and more so lately....than EVER?
They just get in the way of an agenda they so desire to achieve at all cost!
Got nothing to lose with a few missles and it could equate to hitting the "reset" button that is so badly needed on this planet anyway.
And the righties dont want to admit their failed policies and lack of leadership CAUSED the whole thing to begin with. Just as was said before Obama whipped McCains arse / People are going to blame the dems if they win as if they are the ones who started it..LOL Now its all Obamas fault,,,,,stop crying about Obama ok? Gezzzz
Bush didn't allow a 25% attrition rate at the CIA during his two terms. Clinton did that. Even after the first attack on the WTC in 1993 and the numerous al Qaeda attacks that followed, Clinton talked about going after al Qaeda but did nothing. By 9/11, we were down 23,000 intellegence agents and had no operatives inside Afghanistan.
Former CIA director George Tenet has said that in the 1990s, agencies eliminated or didn't fill 23,000 positions. "The intelligence community was literally gutted," Sanders says. "By design or by default, we were downsized dramatically. We lost core capability."
Like the military immediately after the end of the Cold War, the CIA downsized dramatically in the early 1990s, shrinking personnel by 25%. "By the time we got to '95, the ranks were horribly thin," says Gil Medeiros, chief of recruitment. This year, he says, recruitment is at levels unseen since 1987.
"The former president said he authorized the CIA to kill bin Laden and overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan after the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, but the action was never carried out. Clinton said that was because the United States could not establish a military base in Uzbekistan and because U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies refused to certify that bin Laden was behind the bombing. "The entire military was against sending special forces into Afghanistan and refueling by helicopter. And no one thought we could do it otherwise, because we could not get the CIA and the FBI to certify that al Qaeda was responsible while I was president."
By this day, September 17, he has decided to agree to all of Tenet’s requests, which include an extra $1 billion of funding. Reportedly, Bush wants “the CIA to be first on the ground, preparing the way for the military with both intelligence officers and paramilitary officers.†[Kessler, 2003, pp. 234-235; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 333] Deputy CIA Director John McLaughlin will later recall that “we all assembled in the Cabinet Room, and the president lays down about 12 decisions, just like that, machine-gun fashion.… [T]he thing that stands out in my memory, because it hit me vividly, was he said, ‘I want CIA in there first.’†[PBS Frontline, 6/20/2006] In one of these decisions, Bush gives the CIA broad powers to capture, kill, and/or interrogate high-ranking al-Qaeda figures
The Democratic Party does not support the troops. They support the defeat of our troops and our nation. They did it in Korea, Vietnam, and now Afghanistan and Iraq.
The new face of the Democratic Party
Good job Obama and Pelosi, you gave victory to the terrorist. Expect more terrorist attacks on our country. I'll be keeping my eyes on every muslim I see as a suspect.
As well you should. Islam is incompatible with the Judeo-Christian societies that comprise the civilized world.
So why are we over there rebuilding Islamic societies?
Abso-frickin-lutely
