Bipartisanship is what America needs not to divide the nation. McCain and Obama are right NOT to gut the military. We need a powerful military and this economic mess will be over soon.

The best thing for this country to win the war on terrorism is to get out of Iraq. We’re WASTING $10Billion a month there when those who are training to be terrorists in terrorist camps are in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here’s what’s really happening, and why the surge really hasn’t worked at all. The terrorist, aka Osama Bin-Laden, put out some bogus claim that Iraq was getting enriched yellow cake uranium from Africa. The Bush administrations jumps at the idea of going into a preemptive war with Iraq to avenge the attempt on Bush Sr’s life. Meanwhile at home the housing market is going great, people are starting to make loads of money on bad property by buying it cheap and selling it for twice what it’s worth. And people who have no business buying a home are buying houses that cost $400K -$500K with no down payment, clearly not a good thing. Are you still with me. Meanwhile we’re starting to spend more and more on the war because the flimsy 32 other countries giving us 4 solders each are pulling out of Iraq. Here’s what the terrorists want, they want us to loose focus of the real war on terrorism, aka the war in Afghanistan, so they can continue to build their forces and now the taliban is back in, all the while our economy is going into the dog house. The terrorists are bankrupting us into failure in Iraq. Doesn’t anyone get this. IRAQ DIDN’T ATTACK US, THEY DIDN’T EVEN HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. And regime change is illegal. My point is if we don’t get out of Iraq, and soon, our resources to continue to fight this “war on terrorism” will be lost. Because if you think they won’t attack us again on our soil think again. If the federal government has to bail out the financial industry that means that less and less money will be going to the states. Now the states are also finding it hard to get cash, because credit doesn’t mean anything. Still with me, I hope so because I’m almost done. With less money in the hands of the state governments that means less cops and other first-responders on the streets ready to defend us from another attack. Read up on your history. There are more ways to win a war, bankrupting a country is just as good. Unfortunately we send 2/3 of $493 billion to hostile countries, now we’re (consumers) are funding terrorism at the gas pump. What a web we weave when we practice how to deceive. Both candidates (as shown by factcheck.org) have a hard time with facts. But honestly, I’m really tired of looking like bumbling fools in front of the world’s stage. And Palin, as much as she may appeal to the “Joe Sixpack” is going to get eaten up on the Senate floor the first time she’s asked something and has no idea what she’s doing. And winking ain’t the same thing as knowing.
