Really Pissed Off!

It may be presumptuous to consider the candidates duly chosen by the voters and their delegates, but this is the likely outcome for the November sweepstakes. In its wake lies the direction of this nation, well into the Twenty-First Century. We’ve seen too much of the past over the last seven years of the disastrous Bush Administration.

It’s become more and more apparent that the Democrats are not coming to this website. The Republicans have, as they took our advise in choosing the winning Presidential Candidate as John McCain prepares to begin his Presidential Campaign, while the Democrats are heading into the murky waters of a brokered convention!

President Bush’s enlightenment of the NIE Report is just another example of how inept this President and his Administration is regarding intelligence reports, especially if they do not support their agenda!

We have seen the nadir of American Foreign Policy under the watch of the Bush Administration. The United States stepped up to the plate after WW II and out of the shadow of Isolationism to become the leader of the Free World during the Cold War and beyond. We triumphed over the Soviet Union and became THE only super power left. With that, a considerable amount of responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of the United States. Unfortunately, the shoulders of George W. Bush are not wide enough to carry such a load, and we’ve now become a punch line, if not the laughing stock of the world!

John Stormer’s title of his controversial book lends a new meaning to the phrase, when we consider the Bush Administration’s exposure of CIA Operative Valerie Plame Wilson, as payback for Joe Wilson’s article in the New York Times. We have conveniently placed it aside, thanks to the lack of outrage by the Congress, the Media and the American Public!

As citizens of the United States of America, we are, without a doubt, the safest nation in the world. We are the only Super Power left standing after the 20th Century of Total War and as well as the Cold War. After the fall of the Soviet Union, The United States remained the only nation who could influence any other nation in the world. We have the most advanced and best equipped Armed Forces of any nation today. Yet, Americans are becoming paranoid regarding their safety.

While the American news media reports sporadically regarding the insurgency in Iraq, we never hear of the unrest and insurgency that has battle lines drawn between the Kurds in the north of Iraq and Turkey. As recently as Sunday, October 7, 2007, Turkish forces were said to have shelled Iraqi territory, as a result of an attack by the PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party), during which 13 Turkish soldiers were killed in the southern province of Simak, Turkey. Kurdish farmers showed observers the craters left by Turkish artillery shells, which were well inside Iraqi territory.

To anyone who witnessed the Democratic Debate at Dartmouth College on September 26th, you would never know whether you were listening to a Democrat or a Republican regarding Iraq! Clinton, Obama and Edwards all implied that U.S. Armed Forces could still be deployed in Iraq at the end of their First Term! Once again, the Democratic Party is afraid to take a stand!
