It's been six years since the whole thing began...

Six years.

Supposedly it was Al Quada, as evidence points to them.  Their head man is Osama Bin Laden, and we're supposedly looking for him and them in Aftganistan.

Remember Aftganistan?

We had good reason to be there.

We have no reason to be in Iraq.  So why are we there too when we need to be in Aftganistan?  Why are we continuing to rattle sabers in Iran's direction, when the problems we foresee will not come into being for another, what, four years at least?  One country at a time!!!

And yet the domestic side suffers, for funding for the war is comming out of every other program.  Excuse me, we're in a war.  We run deficits in a war -- you don't balance a budget when you're trying to win it.  An army needs as much cash as you can get, and then some, but you don't cut out support of your own people to do it!

I cannot wait for whoever comes into the Presidency in, what, under two years' time?  He or she will need to clean up the mess made.

I'm going to avoid the news today.  It'll all be redundant.  Poker will fill the void.

Afghanistan? What is that, some kind of slanty-eyed food? On that note I give to you a map: http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/173-the-hungry-gulf-crocodile/

I'll be avoiding bills today. I'm afraid my student loan rate will go up while the gov't is distracted.

I have always wondered why we didn't finish what we were doing in Afganistan before launching another war. I guess we are suffering from lack of history. Germany tried twice to fight a two front war and it didn't work so well.
