Two things that are sticking in my craw

        First, watching some news this morning and there was an interesting story.  It seems that Ft. Lewis has stopped doing individual memorial services because there are too many deaths from that fort to handle.  They are shifting from individual memorials to a group memorial once a month.  This is coming more than 1400 days after “Mission Accomplished”.  Can we finally admit that this “war” is not going well.  I know at least 3 in 4 people get it… but how can the other 25% stick their heads in the sand and say we are winning.  Specialist David Williams, in a conversation with Sen Joe Lieberman, said that every soldier he worked with begged him to as the Senator when they were getting out of here.  Another unnamed soldier commented “We’re not making any progress, it just seems like we’re driving around waiting to get shot at” (Source : MSNBC – again, I know they lean left, but this is what our soldiers are saying! So if you resort to the “left-wing media” argument… stuff it). It’s time to get out of that country.  I heard a plan from Howard Dean that makes perfect sense.  Get out of Iraq, by years end, and put a contigent of 25,000 troops in the region (not IRAQ, More like Kuwait) to be protect borders and respond to emergencies, and perhaps finish stabalizing Afghanistan. Seems quite rational to me.

        Second, yesterday Bush came out and FINALLY said that something needs to be done about global warming.  His comments, involving zero details, were that industrialized nations must work together to reduce emissions and affect change.  He continued that within the next year or two the US will lead an initiative to accomplish this.  To President Bush, you are a frakking idiot… What you have just proposed is called the Kyoto Treaty and WE THE US are the ONLY nation to have NOT signed it.  The fact that we in the US are not on board with this embarrases me… and then to have our moronic leader stand up and say this is what we need to do is insulting to us and the world.  Just sign the gorram treaty you frakktard.
