8. I look forward to the day...
When our troops are home, and the people responsible for this huge, gaping MESS are finally held responsible for their actions. ALL OF THEM. NO PARDONS, NO EXCEPTIONS.

This was intentional, deliberate, calculated. And justice must be returned in the same manner.

Can anyone say President Pelosi? (Sounds nice, doesn't it?)

9. And I think it would be appropriate if enablers got a little of that
held accountable action. Scum like limbaugh and hannity and the rest of the right wing chickenhawk trash with microphones who have been urging on the deaths of our kids for four years now. Hiding behind microphones and taking zero responsibility for anything. And none of them have ever done anything positive for our country.

bush let 9-11 happen, then he intentionally lied about WMD and there are still those in this country who support such action.

12. And that's just the war. Just keeping the Pentragon's doors open
are about 4 times that much more. So about $50 billion a month to make war. Money well spent. War economies are good economies.

13. More money flows ...

The more money the money flows, the easier it is to steal. Republican chronie "contractors" are making a killing off this war by billing premium prices and barely (or not at all) fullfilling their contracts.

The Democratic congress should make it a high priority to force get money back from contractors who are not doing their job.
