It's been a while, and I refused to get involved or comment but Bush did it again, and I really think he needs to be stopped.
I'm afraid he will try to start up with Iraq before he leaves that office. He's beginning to pull troops out of Iran - and what do you think he will do with them??? Give them the rest they so richly deserve? No - he'll push them even further. I'm surprised they haven't completely revolted. As soon as they are out of Iraq, they might.
I saw a bumper sticker- "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot" and I heartily agree.
OK, I admit it that my feelings are hurt that Hillary didn't get the nomination. Am I behind Obama? Not sure. I'm not behind McCain. That's all I can say. It's a "lesser of evils" situation. Obama has no experience. Put someone like that in control of the greatest military force ever known? Put someone who has never known the pain of losing to party machinations - and what will he do?
Bush is leaving the Presidency more powerful than ever before and than designed by the framers. The next presidents may abuse it even further. An inexperienced man in the office can wreak havoc or make the world a much better place. I'm taking a "wait-and-see" attitude for now.
How many think Bush will impose martial law and stop the elections? Post your comments here.

Congress Prosposes a Surchage Tax for Iraq War
Oh Yeah!!!
I vote that every person who wants the war to continue pay 12% of their net income to pay for it. The rest of us can sit back and watch while you go broke.
Forget taking it off your taxes at the end of the year, too!

Bush's Speech about Iraq
Let's face it - I don't trust him. I don't trust anything he says and I don't believe anything he says.
The "draw down" of troops just means that the troops scheduled to come home (unless he extends the tour of duty again) will be coming home - for a couple of weeks at least.
The military is over extended - not just in Iraq. There's Europe, the Pacific, Antarctic, Arctic, UN forces, and so much more. We are NOT the world's policeman, and I've heard that argument several times before. However, we always seem to get drawn in. Now we have to send folks to Darfur, too. Where are these troops (people, soldiers, individuals, sons and daughters) to come from????
Getting shot at is not a guarantee of a college education. It's better to run up debt and then go into service stateside as a teacher or working with at risk populations here at home. At least your body will remain whole! And your life and blood won't be wasted in a desert on the other side of the world for people who don't want us there in the first place.
The political problems of Iraq are not our problems. Yeah, if Bush hadn't stepped in, the discussions and problem would never have been in the first place, but hey - THEY NEED TO GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND WORK FOR PEACE IN THEIR COUNTRY THEMSELVES. It's not our job.

Been Dealing -
There are lots of things I've wanted to write about - Blog about - recently. I have been unable to sit at the computer long enough to do so.
Boy! Do I NEED a laptop!
I've been ill, and worse, in a lot of pain. I fell again yesterday - have a beautiful purple bruise on my upper arm.
I've been yelling at the radio. Patraeus is saying nothing. Nada. Zilch. He's a Bush cronie.
Right now, I'm mostly angry about the way the war in Iraq has been privatized. At 3750 dead Americans, who knows how many Iraqis and add the other nation's dead and damaged. Then, the kicker, the "secret" injuries and dead of the private armies of "security" for all of Cheney's cronies. All those companies that swarmed over Iraq to "rebuild" it (and fill their pockets).
I watched "The Aviator" recently, and according to the movie, Howard Hughes got called before a Senate Subcommittee for $43 million. How much has been squandered in this war???

Newest Bushisms . . .
Mr Bush went to Minneapolis - what a photo op!!! To show that he's in control and to hide the shortcomings of FEMA, Bush showed up in Minneapolis.
Yeah, right - when he sends the Army Corp of Engineers (currently on the frontline in Iraq) to help stabilize the wreckage so the rest of the victims can be pulled out - if there are any the current didn't already remove - then I'll believe him.
He's such a lying snake! Ewwww!!
