	<description>President Bush and the Republicans spent way, way, way too much money, but when it comes to spending, they were bush leaguers — pun intended — compared to President Obama and the Democrats.</description>

What a load of left wing cynical horse shit. The Left hates America, so they spew out this nonsense every chance they get.</description>

According to my daughter, Iraqis have thanked the US military and the Coalition forces for being there.  And all that video of Iraqi men and women proudly showing their inked-up fingers strongly suggest the same thing.  The fact Saddam was paying families of suicide-bombers 25k each and isn&#039;t anymore says free nations are indeed better off.</description>

		<description>How can you even post that? Abandoning Bush foreign policy will not put more Americans at risk, it will do the opposite. United States has been, through CIA, screwing the rest of the developing world over and over again. Humanitarian reasons do not drive our foreign policy, economics do.

In that past if it was beneficial for America to suppress democratic movement and install dictators who will be favorable to us. Having our soldiers in those countries does not make us safer, it gives the people an enemy to hate and unite against. Place yourself in a position of an Iraqi man. Have they suffered any less than what they suffered under Saddam? Are we as a nation better of after invading Iraq?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And sad as well was the American officer who tried to blame the killings on the insurgents. I guess to survive mentally, the perpetrator has to slink to these rationalizations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


What does that have to do with the fact that the commanding general in Afghanistan has been requesting 40,000 troops to get the job done? Presumably, like Petraeus in Iraq, he knows what he&#039;s talking about. Obama should quit playing like Hamlet, make a decision, and give the general what he wants. This dither-dather accomplishes nothing, and if he keeps it up, he&#039;ll go down as another Jimmy Carter.</description>

		<description>Eric, put yourself in the place of these Afghan civilians, and see how you would feel about the originators of those bullets.
