I didn't take the statements out of context...I let them stand alone...you're too funny.

Bush said we were in imminent danger of attack. That's why we pre-emptively attacked Iraq...remember?

I know the reasons for the war have morphed...but you forget the path we've come down. We now invaded to remove Saddam and bring democracy to Iraq in a grand experiment that has so far taken the lives of 100,000's and cost 100's of billions.

And after spending 100's of billions on war...Bush say now we need to get rid of Social Security...and turn over the retirement system to Wall Street.

Where have all the 401k's gone...long time passing. It's not enough that millions of Americans have lost most of their retirement savings to the Wall Street crooks...now Bush wants to serve up Social Security to these Wall street wizards.

Ok, I guess some might benefit from the market. But also there will be those that fall through the new holes in the old safety net. Can you imagine the chaos of government retirement funds being required to invest in the market? Which stocks will they invest in? Can you see the turmoil as every company will want the government to invest in them!

The sharks are circling the kill as we speak.
