Steve R, nice post by the way. Now, for the rest of you, here's a bit of factual information; and if it sounds political one way or the other, the
public record speaks for itself.
WMD's were that last of 7 or 8 reasons to go to war...... not against Iraq, but against Saddam; something the Clinton's were not want to do. Google
"The Mother Of All Connections", and read what you can about a man named Sada, who was once one of Saddams elite guard, who say many flights of
stripped out 747's taking WMD's and their precursors to Syria and the Bakaa Valley.
The entire American National Debt is less than 6% of our GDP, a figure that is both an average and quite manageable, considering our 15 Trillion
yearly GDP. Thanks to the reductions in the tax rates (which work EVERY SINGLE TIME as an economical, not political, tool, the American economy, and
therefore money going from "the evil rich" (those making above 75K) increased, and our economy grew an amount equal to the entire Chinese economy,
and did so in just three years.
The sub-prime debacle is the result of laws passed by a Democrat-run Congress in 1978 or '79, because they thought there were those in America who
weren't getting their "fair share" of the American Dream; Just another case of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Also, just one more case of Jim
Quinn's first law: "Liberalism ALWAYS generate the exact opposite of it's stated intent. Another good example of that was/is the war on poverty,
in which 7 Trillion dollars of tax money, and all we have to show for it is 7 trillion dollars worth of poverty; tens of thousands of union,
government jobs; the ruination of the Black family, and the destruction of Americas inner cities.
The war is going to bankrupt America? Here's some factoids for you: More money is spent on government-run health care than the entire military
budget.

American corporations (read hospitals) because the illegals don't pay their bills; these add up to another few tens of $Billions.
The collapse of the American Republic ? (we DON'T live in a Democracy, thank God). Better read up on the Senate bill Hussein Obama is trying to get
passed, which will place a global tax on America, confiscate small and medium weapons; tax Americans beyond your wildest dreams; sign on to the Kyoto
Treaty, the International Criminal Court, the Rights of The Child (which will allow your 9 year old to sue you for making him/her go to a church or
say he/she can't hang with those gang-bangers down the street, and the what-ever-it's-called UN B.S about rights of the woman, meaning no more
Mothers Day or Valentines Day. Hillary is bad, but Obama is a flat out Marxist/Communist. The guy is whacked enough to have the backing of Farakan,
he admirers Che Guevarra, and who the Islamist terrorist whacko's hope and pray will become president (of course, they want ANY Democrat they can
get).
