Our warnings fell on deaf ears.
Even one courageous retired Marine Corps General resigned his position as an Middle East Envoy and WARNED that invading Iraq should NOT be a priority, but he too - was IGNORED.
I don't know about the other military veterans here, but I believe now, just as confident as I was with regard to passing the Iraq War Resolution, that this upcoming HRC bill is a HUGE MISTAKE.
Believe it or not, I hate watching these SLOW TRAIN WRECKS.
The Liberals have been correct time and time again, yet you NEVER listen to us.Worse, when everything inevitably blows up in your face, you blame either the GOP or those of us to the left of center. :(
1) It's was NADER'S fault that Gore lost the election? NOT that Gore ran a centrist "lackluster" campaign that did not reach out to "the base."
2) It's all BUSH's fault that we invaded Iraq? No, did you forget the "useful idiots" who voted for the IWR and continue to vote for funding our occupations overseas?
3) It's all Bush's fault that we are in debt? No, President Obama ensured that Wall Street is still "sitting pretty" with little to no oversight to date. There's no regulation yet and the people who helped cause the melt down is filling his cabinet.
4) We have lost some of our liberties because of Bush? No, Obama could help rescind the Patriot Act in a heartbeat.
5) It's all Bush's fault that we still have Don't Ask, Don't Tell? Nope! With one mere executive order, President Obama could courageously do the right thing and encourage the Congress to follow-through in short order.
NOW we're being sold this TROJAN HORSE that essentially equates to gifting the Insurance Cartel BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of our hard earned dollars with no REAL OVERSIGHT.
Can anyone else see a pattern here?
