The next president will be a slave to Bush administration fiscal woesThe next president, whether it be Republican John McCain or Democrat Barack Obama, will be in handcuffs as he parades into the White House after his Jan. 20 inauguration He wont be physically manacled. But he will be fiscally handcuffed from Day One as a result of the ideologically driven foolishness and sloppy excesses of President George W. Bushs administration

It is only on the mend in our fantasy dig here and not there contolled press.There is no mending in the mid-east, only a tenuous relationship of distrust and anger. This dope is a multi-worded, glorified used car salesman with a uniform. Now we are paying billions to cover our Ba'athist betrayals when the Cold War ended. We are sicker in our dying affluence than the worst of so-called "terrorists". We just hate telling on ourselves. We're still drunk. Drunk on bullshit. NOTE: The MOVIE is over.

What fantasy TV show dost thou exist in?

"Brutally honest and forthright?" Surely you jest you miserable mercenary for the 1% that holds the lifeblood, and plans these bloodlettings. Kiss my rebel ass you fucking camo drag cunt. Dracula is more honest you bloodsuck. We live in a world where "evil is good and good evil". Take your war and stick it up your ass general. I do not support your troops for they are not mine and I am not theirs. Goodfucking night. I am sure Big Oil and the Lodge will consider your for the next political path.

With all due respect. Iraq is not a better place. Iraq's infrastructure has been devastated. Iraq has plunged into sectarian violence. Money that Bush claimed was to be used for infrastructure was pissd away on crony contracts. Trust for America has plummetted. Helping Iraq may be your intention, but that is not the true result of our bombs and bullets, immense suffering and death is the true result.

Dude, read the Gamble, its a book about what the General did in Iraq THEN COMMENT!!! he turned Iraq around from a civil war to being on the mend.

"People thought that we lost WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor."

You said "we lost". That would imply that we were at war.

"as for officialy being involved, we were in Iceland and China in the early 40's, as well as giving lend-lease programs"

That doesn't make it official...and it wasn't official.

[USMCommando]

That's not what I stated....as for officialy being involved, we were in Iceland and China in the early 40's, as well as giving lend-lease programs.

"People thought that we lost WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor. "

I don't remember being officially involved in ww2 before Pearl Harbor.

So you rather have lower gas prices than have a stable government under President Obama, a well trained defense force under Admiral Mullen, and other institutions?

You sir, are a complete dumbass.
