Was It Worth It?

As the U.S. begins its next political cycle, it's becoming harder to
see the big picture in Iraq

June 8 - I'm sitting here with a gloomy letter from Iraq, written by
a high-ranking officer I cannot name in a branch of service I cannot
name in a part of the country I cannot name. But trust me, because I
trust him. Iraqis, he says, have no feel for or belief in the democracy
we want to create, and our occupation is making them less, not more,
capable of self-government.

Contempt of Congress meter reading-offscale.
Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme
Court who will ensure church and state are joined
at the hip like clergy and altar boys.
America 1776-Jan 2001 RIP
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul
of the people. On some great and glorious day the
plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be adorned
by a downright moron." --- H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Religion is the original war crime.
-Michelle Malkin (Feb 26, 2005)

Yet they risked their lives to go to the polls.
And danced in the streets when they did it.

Lol!
It doesn't make the least bit of sense to trust something like that.
He can't even name the branch of service or the part of the country
the soldier is in but he wants us to trust him?
I don't think so.

You certainly can pay for your fascist adventures with your money. Why
