SMitty... I know we've done alot of good. We could have done some really good here at home too. I just don't think the good things you point out will last, and that's exactly my point. We do all these great things, then in a few years - (5 or less IMHO) and it all goes in the crapper again. Civil war there is gunna be the issue, already is and we're trying to straddle the fences and make nice nice with several sides? NFW...not gunna last, no matter if we're there or if we hand over control & mostly pull out. These people are Islamic psycho's man from way way back...we're not talking Steelers Vs Seahawks fans here, we're talking real bombs strapped into your Toyota taxi.
Besides...we've got Iran and few other punks to deal with next. I'm all for giving the bad guys few bombs where it counts, but ya gotta take care of biz @ home too & Bushy is all one sided in that respect. Stock market has held up, but ask any big-3 auto worker how it goes? yikes...and yet Bushy is asking for another 800 Billion or something to help another Country out of it's historic Islamic /perhistoric funk? He needs a financial advisor <GGG> I guess it's more good news for Haliburton & the Defense biz though!
My bro-in-law was there for almost a year, he helped build some school's, go on patrol, take out bad guys, and yes he saw things get "better" ..BUT he don't see it lasting either. It's like the 1890's & the Wild Wild West over there, only these people don't praise and teach you a religion, they want to jam it down your's and mine throat!....
Trashed btw...those are government figures too, do you believe everything the government publishes? I know you're way smarter than that. |
