The Cost of The Iraqui war in Porsche Terms

[ccm911]

OK, now I have gotta jump in.

We seem to have a real communication problem here in America today.  People seem to think that those who are against the war are not for supporting the troops. This could not be farther from the truth. It is just pure conjecture.  That would be like saying that everyone that is pro-choice is ultimately pro-abortion.  It doesn't work that way. By living here in America we have more or less agreed to live within "the gray zone" as opposed to having everything either black of white.  I mean, wasn't that the real goal for invading Iraq?  To get rid of a dictator? Apparently not.  Sorry, I forgot about all those WMDs that were confiscated.

And if you listen to the news, you should realize that most of these kids dying are just regular folk from small towns.  I don't see any of the politicians putting their kids out on patrol over there.  Didn't they refer to Viet Nam as the "Great American Cleansing"?  And where was your "Bad Ass" George Bush back then?  Not in Viet Nam.  Clinton may have gotten out of going, but at least he didn't don a uniform and then arrogantly proclaim "mission accomplished" from the deck of an aircraft carrier. More lives lost since that proclamation.  Actually, I think we have lost twice as many since.

Amd if all the "big spender" military types still want to spend their tax dollars in that manner, then why don't we help out some folks that really need it.  Do I hear Africa?  Now those folks could sure use some help.  Military, Engineering, Education.

Just my humble opinion.

 

P.S.  Was my grammar OK?  Honestly, if there are any typos, I am really not a redneck, I was just typing fast.
