“Funding the new troops in Afghan is simple. Tax the military industrial complex.

They are getting a lot of public $$.

Hell, halliburton claims it's HQ is now in Dubai, in order to skip out on it's share of taxes.

Do it.”

“Why did Obama put 30,000 souls into a land that doesn't want us there & is it's
"threat" can be contained by a few thousand?

We can't pay for it, either.

O needs to be voted out.”

“did Obama put 30k there? I think they were there or headed that way before he took office.”

“It may be possible that he has a smidgen more data than you do. I don't know for sure that his intent is beneficial or poilitical.

I do know that if he tried to leave Afghanistan quickly he would be massacred by the abominably stupid right wing politicians who got us there without any glimmer of a notion of how to get out or the will to accomplish something while we are there.

America's intentional refusal to educate its citizenry in the history of this world and the types of errors that ought not to be repeated is what keeps us in thrall to the military industrial complex which makes great profits from human deaths and misery.

Gun and armament manufacturers insist they exist to insure peace. They have insured peace to the tune of millions of dead and maimed people and trillions of dollars misused. Fortunes have been fattened by such peacekeeping. Multitudes have been starved and neglected in the effort.”

“I don't think you're going to be able to vote him out when to impeach him you need the following:

1) a VALID reason
2) a congress that will vote to kick them out.

So you're outta luck.”

“Based on what? At no point, did she promise to wear sack cloth to demonstrate her populist cred.

She wore designer pieces regularly during the campaign, even as her inexpensive J Crew and similar pieces got all the press. While I don't agree with many of her aesthetic choices since arriving in the WH, she has been consistent throughout in that she mixes and matches high- and low-end designers.”
