What is a bad job to you then. You question the motive for war, but cling to your own propaganda that its all for the best. You point out what will undoubtedly turn into a huge scandal if or when all details are disclosed in respect to things like Haliburton, no bid contracts, Cheney stock, etc. Still I fear you do not grasp the actual reasons for our presence for none have been mentioned by you. Answer me this. If the president lied and STARTED and illegitimate war, invading multiple countries killing untold thousands (not to mention killing more through destroyed infrastructure and resource destruction and or contamination), even hundreds of thousands, qualifying him for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, would that be bad presidenting? Do you believe we will ever know how many American soldiers died? If or when you find out that the war in Iraq was long planned for, before 9/11, and intended to secure vital resources soley for US interests and military posistioning for "full spectrum dominance", or what it means for people like Saddam and Osama being CIA assets protected and then patsied, as well as used to usher in an era of domestic abuse of power and authority... All with actual stated claims of no end, hundred years war, generational, endless vigilance... Not to mention the plethora of internal investigations being called for, in the middle of, being gagged for national security, and being covered up entirely against this administration from internal whistleblowers like, FBI, CIA, NSA, soldiers, Congress, Senate etc. etc. With the existing evidence both public record and publicly denied regardless of factuality or possibility pointing towards all major terrorists acts conducted within the US done so by the US as state sponsered terrorism. With no exception, all have been followed by increased government authoritative powers and money for defense spending... Even though our defense spending is unmatchable, don't know if you have seen the numbers, but one thing has been made clear. The more money and power the government is granted, the more domestic terrorism, police state legislation, foriegn wars, and black ops it implements. Regardless of any actual threat. When a government has to make up a threat and create the terrorism, destabilization, and war itself, its because IT is the threat. Just because the mob is efficient does not make it good or legitimate management. Look, America is indeed under threat, but its not from radical extremist muslims. Its from forces within, global, and in relation to business, resources and consumption, and a world that became for sale at the end of the cold war with those sitting on natural reserves becoming the power brokers. We aren't one of those countries, and so we are desperately trying to change that. And or internal factions are simply taking advantage of the business deal that is the selling of america before our stock is dead. We mostly import, including third world country labor and rates, while exporting our jobs and manufacturing again to third world countries with such rates that no american worker or business can compete with, period. We are running out of oil though we are consuming record amounts, our dollar is falling and I can't begin to explain or emphasize what that means or how important it is. Our country's social programs, like public education, are being cut to finance an endless war, while still creating the largest debt by a sitting president. Here is one last point you need to understand so I can shut up. We are fighting a war on "terrorism". The main places deemed terrorist havens house strategic military posistions and resources that mean everything to anyone who would assume power over the region. That actually wasn't the point, just another, sorry, the point I wanted to make was we are fighting a war on terrorism, but the problem with that is our country both aides terrorists and is a terrorist country. In fact, we may be among the top if not the top itself. When you learn about operation gladio, northwoods documents, and the quiet updates to old stories as well as current undertakings, or notice how so many national security threats are CIA assets or MI6, all the invaded countries, overthrown democratically elected leaders and placements of dictators, slaughter, bombings, riots, provocations, and on and on. But you go on ahead and tow their line, Bush said it best about how just following orders won't a valid excuse. That includes you. In your oath you swore to protect against enemies both foreign and domestic. And people who say things like this are being called the terrorists, when they are, like myself, merely repeating facts and allegations of others that we find to be of concern. The government is the one hiding behind secrecy while spying on everyone else, hiding truths or denying realities that would change the minds of all those who blindly follow them. Getting caught in lies and scandal while all we do is question and demand answers, which is not terrorism, threatening, jailing, bombing those who dissagree with you is. Calling dissent terrorism from a posistion of authority in this country is treasonous. Lying to start conflict resulting in war and mass death is treasonous. Invading countries for their resources, market and economy control, governmental hegemony, is well, simply empirialism and not quite deemed treasonous, but the killing the innocents part is still considered wrong and a crime against humanity. I can't shut up, we are breaking our own international standards by torturing people, like we say bad people do, we are torturing women and children. Holding people for years, YEARS, with no trial or charge, families, taken whole or ripped apart. There is just so much to the story that it makes me a little ill every time I hear people say, "well, besides the war and this or that, (borders, economy, katrina, osama, jobs, scandal after scandal, etc. etc.), Bush isn't doin' so bad." Especially from our troops, the troops we see more and more of on the streets of our cities, another law meant to protect the citizens now erased by bush, posse commentatus (sp).
