A Government Gone Mad?

A Government Gone Mad?
Eric Alterman

When future historians look back at America’s reaction to the attacks of 9/11 and see that our leadership decided to ignore the many, many, vulnerabilities of our homeland to devastating attacks that could easily kill millions while at the same time, going off on a foolish and counterproductive tangent to remake a nation that had nothing whatever to do with the attack, thereby ignoring a real threat and creating a new one where none existed before, I do think they will study us as an example of a government gone mad.

1. I don't think they are a government

they are a band of rogues that put themselves in high positions under fraudulent means (basically like a Mafia) and should be dealt with accordingly!

2. And a cowering populace of sheeple who elected W

out of fear. Only now are they learning the truth of his madness and complete abandoning of our security needs.

You can't worship both Manna and God. W chose oil and the hell with world peace.

8. Nuclear bomb components enter through port security

today's news. Oil companies have never made bigger profits. Defense contractors swimming in money.

Did you know Israel had more outstanding U.N. resolutions than Iraq?

Michael Savage believes Saddam should be put back into control of Iraq.

Mostly, you need to read daily www.icasualties.org

You can check on how Afghanistan is also breaking down.
