Re: president bush
Again, our armed forces are too far advanced to let a lack of troops leave us vulnerable. That is what you inferred. That we would be left vulnerable. We would have to have insurgents come over by the thousands to warrant a major deployment of troops within the United States. Not only that, our advanced weapons and defense systems comprise the majority of our defense today.

) and that the US, Saudi Arabia, and thier oil companies benefit greatly from shutting off the Iraqi oil supply from the world, including the US. Saddam was selling it too cheaply and driving the price down which was cutting into the profits of the US and Saudi oil barons. We aren't there to grab oil for ourselves like many protesters say. We are there to keep it in the ground. Saddam was a bad enough guy to try to make justification out of but it's pretty clear, unless one really want's to believe in Bush's goofy reasoning, that Saddam was not the threat we were told to believe he was. It's no matter whether we believe it or not because the important damage has been done. It is not simply coincedence that Bush is so close to Saudi Arabia, that he, Cheney and Rumsfeld among others are employed and heavily invested in oil and energy (not to mention defense contractors). It is interesting that Pat Roberts tossed up the idea of assassinating the president of Venezuela, another oil-rich nation, this week. Test ballon?<br /><br />What's sad is that we are losing many, many very dedicated men and women for this sham. We've turned a functional, successful liveable country into a hell on Earth. We have seen (or not seen) an estimated twenty-thousand to nearly one hundred-thousand Iraqi citizens die voilently since the invasion. We are inflaming the Jihad cause greatly not only by occupying Iraq, but also by partnering with the Saudis. This war, this distraction, is costing us billions of dollars weekly at the pump and on the tax bill. It is preventing us from dealing with the real villians of the world who are developing the real WMDs, Iran, N. Korea, Al Quaeda. What's the plan to deal with these guys? Stay the course?
