The amnesty of illegals will finish off the middle class in this country. The pay for manufacturing jobs has lagged well behind inflation under Bush. Most new jobs created during his term are lower paying jobs, Sure there are certain areas where there is good pay but that doesn't help most middle class.
Again, Iraq had no viable WMD program. And I don't care about their internal politics. We have made more terrorists than we killed. I disagree with you about killing terrorists in Iraq. We didn't even fire a shot in the last big op and hundreds were allowed to escape Fallujah before we attacked. I have ex-Marine friends - officers who left the Corps over that one. We pay them to kill people and break things and the politicians let the bad guys get away to back shoot US soldiers. Unforgivable.
ISLAM will never change. My ancestors fought Muslims 1,000 years ago and would be pissed that we haven't finished the job.
Most ME governments that are "fighting" terrorists are only fighting the ones that aren't under their control. A large amount of money still flows from the Royals in Saudi Arabia to scumbags. But they are their scumbags.They talk out of both sides of their mouths.
