Ahhh… the liberal term used to handily invalidate the opinions of those who don’t have an immediate blood relative serving in Iraq - as though that’s the prerequisite for having an opinion on the war.  If it is, then the irony is that this invalidates the opinions of most who oppose the war as well.

In an ideal world $ 3 Trillion dollars could have been put to uses that would have improved an un-named conditions in a society of 300 million.

Instead in a nation of 300 million Americans a cabal of neocons/likudniks and chickenhawks decided to undertake an illegal war, in international legal relations tha have resulted in over one million Iraqi deaths, Close to 4000 US military fatalities and some 96,000 American young mean women crippled for life. A cost of billions every month contributing to the total estimate by J. Stiglitz and a senior Harvard University researcher of some 3 trillion US dollars to be paid for by still unborn generations of Americas.

In an ideal society all those who pomoted such almost treasonous acts would be facing a criminal tribunal. All those promoting future military actions such as Mr. Podhoretz, Sen. Lieberman as well as any of the presidential candidates should be considered potential security risks to the welfare and publuc security of USA.

YOU COULD BE A VERY MEAN PERSON IF YOU TRIED….I’M NOT SURE HOW YOU KNEW WAS CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR, I MAY GET OUT ONE DAY, HOWEVER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A MEAN FEMALE DOG…...

There is only one candidate that will get us out of Iraq and he has been shut out by the MSM. He also told us what will happen if we stay on this course. The writing is on the wall - economic collapse. The only way we are going to get the troops home is if the US goes broke, which means hyperinflation. Make no mistake about it Obama, Clinton and McCain are all hawks that have no intension of bringing all the troops home. The printing press is on overdrive and Ben is warming up the helicopter.

Nope, not the same pervert waxman. Not the same at all.

Those Americans who have died in foreign wars, as well as those ‘wars’ here at home, to gain and assure my human rights and civil rights are not the ones I’m speaking of when I reference ignorant people like you, of ANY age.

I have no living children, and my parents and grandparents/great grandparents, (who DID fight and die) WERE intelligent and educated, and all have been Americans.

So, take your loose marbles and go play on a freeway somewhere, or take your wheelchair out for a joy ride. Some folks simply outlive their usefulness to the greater society.

Don’t worry about invasion war cost in Iraq. In the Vietnam war we spent ONLY 600 billion dollars and almost 60,000 US soldiers killed in action.

Hey, as RP says, he’s only ten in dog years. That aside, he IS the second best choice…after the Dem nominee of course. Fields better than Da Bush.

We are supposed to suffer the consequences of McCain knowing nothing about economics. We are already suffering because of the ignorance of our current president who says that God guides him.

For McCain to support this needless, idiotic war without talking about the consequences is as dishonest and compassionless as Bush himself.

Since WWII there haven’t been any wars which come to mind which were fought “over there” to preserve our freedoms over here.  Korea, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Iraq #1 and #2, none of these foreign adventures had anything to do with preserving U.S. freedoms here at home.

McCain is up to his shriveled neck in this fleecing of America which has occured since WWII.  Time to put those war monies into something more constructive than destructive.

On a previous site you inferred people over 65 ain’t got no book learnen…are they the same ones that died to protect your right to blather on the internet ???Since you think you are so smart, why don’t you move to Kenya ( where your love childs ancesters live )and straighten their government out..

On this:

•  “….their calculations are based on the government’s continuing obligation to provide medical care and disability payments for the thousands of wounded Iraqi and Afghanistani veterans over the coming decades.”..

One can only wonder how much it will cost if the government actually begins to FULFILL this obligation. So far, it hasn’t come close.

•  Instead of accounting honestly for the war’s costs and requesting the necessary funds to pay for them, the White House has routinely used “emergency” supplemental requests as a device to hide the truth. The emergency process prevents the Office of Management and Budget as well as congressional staff from thoroughly reviewing the data. Inevitably, they explain, this lack of transparency and competence has resulted in waste, fraud and corruption in payments to contractors, most of them politically wired, while essential equipment and veteran care remain underfunded.

And, there it is. These ‘emergency’ funds are NEVER requested as part of the budget. And yep, it’s ROUTINE.  $70 billion here, $102 billion there, then another few $70 billion dollar requests, (they don’t even bother to change that much any more).

Meantime, there’s Walter Reed, and a thousand other VA facilities just like it. (decaying and leaving our vets -  our loved ones, to rot)  Vets are homeless and walking around with permanent cases of untreated PTSD. Recently, we discovered that the ‘lucky ones’ are being treated with the recreational drug “Ecstasy” .

Medical professionals/technicians have left the Veterans Administration in DROVES since 2000, having been ‘outsourced’ to contractors, or otherwise scared off.

How does one Cabal do this much damage to an entire nation, and do it for this long? Hitler and Stalin didn’t even get away with this, and surely not for as long.

•  “Politicians like McCain who have cooperated in this outrage should tell us why they still call themselves “conservative.”

They should tell us why they still call themselves HUMAN!

Nevermind, we don’t care. We know they aren’t. And this guy actually thinks we are crazy enough to elect him to continue the damage? We’ll never last that long. There isn’t that much money in the world.
