How Many Times?

"I have absolute confidence that there are weapons of mass destruction inside this country. Whether we will turn out, at the end of the day, to find them in one of the 2,000 or 3,000 sites we already know about or whether contact with one of these officials who we may come in contact with will tell us, 'Oh, well, there's actually another site,' and we'll find it there, I'm not sure." Gen. Tommy Franks, April 2003

The President, Vice President, Press Secretary, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and 5 of our highest Generals have all turned out WRONG and their poor decisions have cost now over 3,000 lives of American soldiers, and hundreds of billions of dollars. Meanwhile, who is holding them accountable? We are headed for another great depression, and all the politicians just give a collective shrug as they look at eachother and pass the buck, isn't it time to stop being wrong?

For the love of all things holy, please people, THINK. We are all suffering as a result of this. Get involved in politics, and hold our elected officials accountable to their word and oaths of office. We the people put them into their positions, and we the people can get them out. If this were a business, they'd all be fired many times over.


It's definitely time for a new course. Not a Democratic one, but a Constitutional one.
