The Hangover After the January 30 Party
Now the hangover begins. The elections told the world that George Bush was right. The Iraqis want freedom and they're grateful for our presence.
Yet, nothing has changed. We were just drunk on the Republican media spin.
As Kerry said during the debates, we are turning Iraq into our permanent military base. We are not leaving.
Nothing has changed on the ground. Americans continue to die after the elections as they did before the elections.
We have plunged our mighty fist into the greatest hornest nest in the world. We will continue to pay the price for the naivete of our president.

Sad situation, isn't it. The sheep just lap it all up and parrot his talk as thought it means something. I think it's pretty funny (in a not so funny way) that all those old farts that voted for w now have to worry about their SS being messed with. He may say he's not going to mess with the benefits from the 55 y/o and up, but there is NO guarantee.
I haven't done my taxes this year, but I'm not at all excited, afterall, I didn't get a tax break. I just can't believe the rich deserve the tax break. They already have loopholes and tax shelters they can and do use. The biggest portion of the rich already don't pay their fair share of taxes. So they get more tax breaks. If this country crumbles from the weight of debt, it will be the fault of the reps and this admin.
Oops, I should probably have posted this on the thread above. However, this also ties into the Iraqi fiasco. I don't believe the Iraqis are too very thrilled with the freedoms they have just now. It is interesting that Allawi says they have to keep the military there for awhile. uh yeah, there are bases being built, who's going to keep them going if we leave? I think there will be some stressful days ahead while this admin drum their wardrums at Iran. I wonder if they are really thinking of targetting Syria?
