THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
The only reason we are jacking up the # of troops is so that the contractors can continue to cash in. Bush and many of his buddies are heavily invested in these private companies that are over there!
A lot of FReepers dont see this and think Bush is a real conservative. Even thought I dont agree with Ron Paul on everyhting, he is a hell of a lot closer to a real conservative than Bush will ever be.
We have too many rush Limbaugh echoers on here. They think that if Rush says it, it must be true! I do listen to him sometimes.. However i take what he says with a grain of salt. I prefer Mike Savage.
Well I am just venting! Hope you agree!

Try chlorpromazine or DU.
Nothing wrong with differing opinions, but that stuff is just kook-speak.
Well....not so fast, we're trying to instill a democracy in the M.E. (first of it's kind since Israel) with purple fingers and all. Meanwhile, the Saudis are funding the Sunis, and Iran backs the Shiites. And, there's a sH*tload of oil under it all. Did I mention the 'oil'?
Seems to me the fight is to determine which 'cameltarian' will control this valuable asset. That we might have made a friend in Iraq would look good next to my Chevy, 8.1 liter V-8.
The twenty thousand troops are insurance that we'll not be standing in gas rationing lines any time soon.('till we get started drilling Caribouville)
We ought not be too harsh on those willing to spend our nation's precious bounty-- as they are acting in our best interests in an attempt to secure for us a slice of the 'oil' pie (even if they take a bit for themselves).
Iran wants the whole pie and is willing to 'microwave' it for us, if need be. Sadly, we can't just negotiate with religious extremists any more than I can get into the 700 Club. "Rational beings need not apply".
The conclusion gets messier, so I'll just end it here.
