It's hard to keep up. Two camps have set up in regards to this war. Those represented by Murtha advocate withdrawl from Iraq, keeping american forces on the perimeter. Those represented by Cheney and Bush advocate a continued failed course. I'm waiting for this president to address the nation and layout a plan for victory. Then I read this headline on Editor and Publisher's website:
Bush Discusses Murtha and Says Progress in Iraq is 'Amazing'
So much for that idea.
With the holidays approaching, its good to see americans in general have a positive attitute to those who have little. Americanlogic was in the line at his post office today and heard this exchange:
Disheveled woman asking for some money
Woman on cellphone: "you ask me that every time i'm in here. you know the answer. get a job." (not an exact quote mind you)
To summarize, our country is engaged in Iraq. We are torturing people. Our government condones this and wishes it to continue. We have a man-child president who tries to escape press conferences. We have a vice president who is delusional at best. The general attitude towards our fellow man is one of contempt. This is America 2005.
