Reply #20: We Are Truly Alone [View All]

This regime has alienated virtually every American ally from that Japanese trawler/submarine junket early on to "Old Europe" to the entire Moslem world. The arrogance of this regime is coming back home in spades.

And yes, the problem is people aren't connecting that a vast chunk of this $87 Billion won't go to either "rebuilding" Iraq or to the troops, but to hefty no-bid government contracts...a virtual corporate welfare pigfest with ZERO oversight.

That's where the Democrats are failing to take this argument in a way people can understand. It's bad enough that we need to set up Zip Codes in Baghdad (wanna bet they already exist), while seniors wait months for health care or schools can't afford toilet paper or our own soldiers can't get air conditioners and kevlar vests. It's such a scam and it's not being shown where ALL this money is going.

The good side is that this regime continues to dig itself into scandals and messes it'll never get itself out of...but at what cost to our treasures and freedoms?
