The first round?......, every US military family, and every American taxpayer. Bend over for their first black Knee Boot. Go fight an unjustified war with no exit plan for Iraq we initially heard, even if takes a hundred years. Kinda reminds me of the strategy the Germans used in Stalingrad, and Kursk for the sake of their ruler.

The total cost for Iraq/Afghan wars $5t plus..............and at the cost of American lives, and those who are now geriatric with shortened lives, and maimed men and women cannot be measured with money.

Who were we supposedly after in the first place?......who was the one responsible for the attack?.........he's been long forgotten. And the timing of going after Saddam at the exact same time for having WMD, but not Iran the US knew was after them.

This alone would have convinced Saddam that the US might soon be knocking on his door if he took this route, but we know now he wasn't. We invaded a country based on lies. ............He had already been nutured by Desert Storm. In devasting fashion.

There was enough evidence against them, the most terrorist nation in the world moving in that direction, but yet the US was idle on that situation. Who was, is, and will be the greatest threat in that region?. Iran is at the core, and at the heart of the extremism, and the US knows it. In 10 years the military hasn't solved the problem in Afghanistan, nor Iraq, nor will it in 10 more years.

We do though have larger issues on our own border. Had, has, and will. The cost for Afghanistan is still growing in lives, and into the billions, with no end in sight. If we couldn't accomplish the real, and should have been the only mission in 6 months we should have pulled out. The Russians are no pushover, but they eventually threw in the towel, and never looked back.

Tack on another $3t from the bailouts, and all that has surrounded Wall Street, and publicly traded corporations, and we're at $8t plus. This was the kind of Greed from this Free nation that was displayed here at home when our men and women were dying in the Middle East.

What are some politicians asking for now?, not really asking, if they could they would just do whatever they want. They would like everyone now to bend over and accept their 2nd knee boot, especially the old, the sick, and the disabled. When our politicians minds, and hearts have waxed this hard having caused these ills here and abroad while derelict in their duties, and responsibilities here at home, which allowed 911 to happen in the first place, should at the very least be brought down. Our markets were filled with corruption partly caused by deregulations, or the lack of enforcement therof from all our regulatory agencies, even our rating agencies we know now were corrupted, and all for money, and during war time..........it was a great distraction for them, and 911 didn't change anything, if anything the corruption grew.

What do some of these politicians ask now?.........whatever else they can take, even the rights men and women have died for time and again. Something we call freedom. I hope this answers in part some of the questions about who will bail us out. We have to look no farther than our mirrors.
