I have tried to stay away from getting my blood pressure up about the current pathetic state of our political leadership , but again its getting so obviously wrong I can't stay quiet.
WTF is Bush thinking. ? This contracts for rebuiling Iraq issue just dosen't make any sense for the long run. I personally am sick and tired of the alienation this administration is causing. Aren't we about free enterprise, or are we just about shutting everyone else out friend or foe. Playground antics at best.
Those that had reasons for not backing us in Iraq, stated their reasons and we should accept that. I guess since we alone are doing such a bangup job of restoring peace and order we think we can do it all by ourselves. I don't feel bad for the big three France, Germany and Russia they will be fine, but none of this is the right thing to do. Great leaders lead by great example.
Shitty leaders pull up the ladders and horde all the profits for themselves, in the process creating themselves a nice cozy place, but ultimatly one that can't stand alone for long.
Again I stress its not about Dem or Rep. Its about leading by example. What we are presenting to the rest of the world is arrogance, short sightedness and being the asshole bully who could give a shit for reason or consequence.
Go ahead and tell me how wrong I am.
How about we go back to that idea about splitting the country. Half for the uptight, fearful, greed based, closed minded ones hell bent on telling me how to live my life and the other half for those that want to try to create real change, for a world of prosperity and peace for all, its not an impossible dream.
Below is yet another example of our inbred corperate corruption ways, starring an all too familiar player.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Pentagon (news - web sites) audit of Halliburton, the oil services firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), has found the company overcharged for fuel it brought into Kuwait from Iraq (news - web sites), military sources said on Thursday.
The sources told Reuters that Kellogg Brown and Root, which won a no-bid U.S. government contract to rebuild Iraq's oil industry, had been notified by the Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency of the overpricing. |
