Oz the whole worlds economy is suffering right now. Believe it or not our country is doing much better than all of europe and asia, the dollar has been gaining strenth. Is it all good, hell no but the economy is suffering here for two major reasons, the huge increases in cost of energy and the huge correction we are going thru in the housing market and the combination of greed and stupidity from mortgage bankers.
To say something like this war was started to make money is quite frankly a page out of the Pelosi Dean Feinstein play book and what was said to dimish this president, diminish our troops and to turn the people against our war effort for political gain.
And now that victory is in sight the same people want to forfeit.
If you think that the economy is bad, imagine what would have happened if Kerry had gotten in, the loss of life from further aggression, here HERE the cost of energy controlled by Iran, the mullahs.
Nipper you may be right, I do not have a crystal ball, but the aggressive pursuit of the scum trying to take over the world by controlling the flow of oil and the destruction of civilian life, the footprint of US troops in the middle east, the complete and rapid destruction of two of the most deadly and brutal regimes in the middle east has most certainly kept you and me and our families safer because our response was immediate and succesful against regimes that the middle east considered tough, undefeatable and protected by Allah.
Now they have to rethink that one because apparently Allah likes US Marines too.
As a matter of fact they also have to commit their recources now to preventing for the first time a democracy, of Muslims!! right smack dab in the middle of them.
If after you think about that, and you realize that our country has not been touched for GW's two terms and you can honestly say you don't believe we are safer because of what our brave troops have done there then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree
