It is odd that the passing of an illegal war that dominated a lot of my talk on this site is now over. What was gained from this war was really not much. We spent our nations treasures to stop a pretend danger. We spilled the blood of our soldiers to appease a crazed right wing philosophy that really was a pretense to shift the fortunes from our government to the pockets of rich people ready to exploit us. We made our army weaker with outsourcing and a philosophy that what they could do would be done better by people that would do it for much more money. What we did their was wrong. The people that had our men do it were wrong. Our soldiers did what they were called to do and most did it with honor. I am glad it is over. Now, lets get the rest of our troops out of their. The worst part is we have people running around saying the surge worked the surge worked. That is like me saying my bandage stopped the bleeding when that guy had his head chopped off. Sure it worked, but it was fixing something that should not have happened. If American's are stupid enough to put those same people back in power I fear for this country. Now, let's go wrap ourselves in god and country and parade around with Glenn Beck!
