And how many people were permanently maimed and injured badly since GW unilaterally decided to escalate combat in Iraq? People have lost arms, legs, eyes, etc. Why? Because GW Bush was not going to be known as the POTUS that withdrew “too soon“.

Now we know why Rumsfeld left. He disagreed with GW and just like the rest…if you disagree with GW, you’re out! Plain and simple. Did anyone see the two dozen retired generals who publicly supported Barak Obama the other night? Bet you don’t see that in Minneapolis.

And let’s see…at $4566 PER SECOND that’s a lot of money spent we didn’t have to spend.

And how much money will be spent by John McCain if he seizes control of our country’s military? How many MORE LIVES will be lost or permanently maimed because McCain has the same mentality and philosophy (or worse)than GW Bush.

GW Bush has very specific reasons for what he has done. What’s McCain excuse?

One of the biggest factors was the cease fire imposed by al Sadr on his militia. And yes, there were numerous reports describing the military leadership’s dismay at the White House’s relentless insistence on a surge at this point in the conflict. One general (Casey, I think) last January was lamenting that all planning flexibility had been “sucked out of the system” because of the surge’s demands on personnel and materiel.

One must also note the careful wording used to convey the
supposed lessening of violence. 2007 was, in fact, the deadliest year of the war so far, but there were also fewer attacks, particularly after August (when the cease fire went into effect). So, if the number of attacks was less but the number of killed was more, exactly how do we see this as a “lessening of violence”? That kind of parsing of meaning is always troubling.

Remember when General Shinsheki told Rummy that initially the Army would need 200,000 troops to go into Iraq and properly secure it? Rummy didn’t listen. Shinsheki was “forced” to retire early.

Just like everything else they have said and done, what they say and what they do are two polar opposites.

“The women should not be getting unwanted pregnancy, pretty extreme letting a guy bust a nut in you if ya ask me, slipped tripped and landed on his dick??”

If I am the only person who found that particularly offensive, then I am going to fold my tent and go elsewhere. I cannot believe that people stomach this sort of vile garbage without raising a protest. Is there no sense of decency left in this world?
