Are we all crazy?

At this point in time one would have to be absolutely insane to believe anything that comes out of the mouths of Bush or Cheney. And yet they continue on running the country and acting as if nothing whatsoever is untoward. They lied us into this stupid "war," and have lied so egregiously that one no longer even wonders if they are lying - we know they are lying. They have violated the constitution repeatedly, and in some cases actually boasted about it. They have allowed torture, renditions, war crimes, war profiteering, and on and on. Iraq is a hopeless mess. The surge was going to fix it. It was to be just for a few months so the Iraqi government (nothing but a joke) could get its act together. September was the magical moment when we were to learn if the surge was working. But now we're told that we can't know by September and, indeed, it looks like we will have to maintain a troops presence for another fifty years (Hillary, for some reason has set a more modest estimate at ten years). It was Bush/Cheney's intention to keep troops in Iraq permanently from the very beginning. All this talk for the past couple of years about bringing the troops home has been nothing but complete and total balderdash, just stringing us along while they kill more people and make more money. Now we have learned that they have violated the records laws by using RNC emails and apparently destroying most of them. What more do they have to do to get our attention? Why do we continue to allow these criminals to continue? What is wrong with us? The democrats, who are supposed to be an opposition party, are far from it. Indeed, it appears they are collaborators in this massive swindle. They pretend they are helpless to do anything. Nonsense, they could very easily begin impeachment proceedings against Cheney, and even Bush, for that matter. Pelosi sticks to her position that impeachment "is off the table." What do you suppose they have on her? Reid is as useless as, as we used to say, "tits on a boar." Our once great nation has been reduced to little more than an international beggar, existing on alms we can scrounge from the Chinese and the Japanese. Our once great military has been at best stalemated, and at worst defeated, by far lesser equipped forces too proud to be occupied by foreigners meddling in their busines and trying to steal their resources. Don't be deceived by our dishonest Press and officials who say we are waiting for the Iraqis to come up with an equitable oil sharing agreement. We're waiting for them to sign over their oil to huge internatinal corporations that will bleed them dry, and they sensibly are resisting. The best thing we can do for the Iraqis and ourselves and the rest of the world is to get out of Iraq as soon as possible.
