Bridget im sure u will never need ur meds anyway!

Michael Barone makes no mention of the fact that we are paying the insurgents not to attack us. Millions of dollars leave our coffers every month to bribe the Sunni and Shiite insurgents to not kill our soldiers so that our government can make some claims of progress. Most disgusting is that many of these same insurgents that we are now paying have the blood of our soldiers on their hands. I guess that is how wars are fought these days, when things are going bad just buy off your enemies.

How often do we only want to believe what we had decided upon first glance. There seem to be too many people on both sides of the isle that will only argue what their party has chooses for them, but we need to open our minds, let the past not determine our future, and think of what is best for the country. That is the only way we will brighten the outlook of this country. Otherwise we will only help build those walls that one day will crumble sending this country into the yesterday or worse then what we are seeing today. What we are seeing today is a result of the past party feuds.

This is from the very mad and cranky senior who lives in seattle.I have to comment and here is what I would like to say.Please send our boys home and do it now! Our economy is suffering and for what! And I will take delight in November when I will do the honors of voting GW and his cronies out of office.We are in this mess all because of that war and counties are suffering.Iowa may not recover.Small towns maybe lost forever because we did not have that tax money to fix the levees.And while you are at it,I am a senior and do not take my medications anymore.I have to eat and that is more important.Any comments,GW!

So, the surge is working? Then why are we not nearer a withdrawal date? Why are we still spending billions of dollars over there while we retirees in USA can't afford to eat and buy medications?

"My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts".....at least they are consistent left-wing, socialist-minded non-revisionists whose solution to every problem is "throw money at it and it will go away." If you throw money at them, they won't go away.
