Thanks Goodness! He waited so long I was beginning to worry that he would be one of the many high-profile Republicans endorsing Obama!

again some people talking about somthing that has nothing to do with topic at hand. How many damn times you cant sit there talk about somthing that has nothing to do with topic at hand it only makes you look ignorant.

THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.

It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that
Stand up and hold them accountable
Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
Elect Obama Biden 2008






Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

The I.R.A. is about the size of Texas with treacherous mountains, occupied by 41 people per square mile, with geographical conditions where military hardware becomes irrelevant. Here in Afghanistan, logistical distances, rocks, mountains, caves and small guerilla units become the fortresses that defeated the massive Soviet Army, and helped bankrupt Russia after 11 years of fighting.

It???s simply not intelligent to intervene or theorize winning conflicts rooted in liberation, integration, religion. Remember Vietnam? What we face now is worse, because it is religious extremism with no borders, and our worst nightmare since our closest ally and friend, the cruel dictatorship of neighboring Pakistan is now gone. The united opposition is supported by religious radicalism with nuclear weapons as their trump card.

In Iraq, the success of the ???The Surge??? is attributed to the addition of 30,000 troops to a country the size of California. But what really made this work was the funding of militias to the tune of $300 per head and the Sadr army sitting on the sideline. This is not a win strategy in IRA, because this not a Sunni against Shiite issue but a much more massive situation because of the separation of geopolitical identities, regional tribal loyalties and religious fervor.

What we need to achieve success in the I.R.A. must be the focused use of special operations. In addition, satellite imagery, drones, recruiting and building local ground intelligence, selected high altitude bombing, the payment of selected militias and the NATO training of an Afghan national army are the only means to a success is Afghanistan. We must not rely on a massive influx of our honorable and hard working military, already stretched to the limits in Iraq. If we don???t learn the lessons of history, such as Vietnam and Iraq, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes that have cost the lives of thousands of brave and honorable military men and women. I, for one, am not willing to pay that price.

The Russians lost 50,000 soldiers to war deaths, suicides, and illness while using our current military tactics during their 11-year war ion Afghanistan, against elderly ragtag forces we trained and armed. But we are now in a dead-end trajectory in a country named Jomhuri-ye Eslami-ye Afghanestan or ???The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan??? (herein referred to as the ???I.R.A.???), fighting new generations and more to follow.

Who are we fighting, and for what reason? What will we gain and what are the consequences of what we started? Do we really think we can build a ???democracy???, a word that we throw out and around the world, which means absolutely nothing to many nations? How long will it take? How much will it cost and how will we pay for it? What are the milestones? What is victory? Does continuing the war make us even more regionally undesirables? Are we strengthening the regional radical fundamentalist in Pakistan and elsewhere leading to nuclear- armed hatred towards us? Will our military and their families continue to be abused with no cause and no end? These are questions for the next administration to answer. Hopefully, we will not simply continue the same senseless dead-end trajectory because we think we have to win some undefined victory or become un-American.

Are we there to capture Bin Laden? His militant, religious, political terrorist cells were based in I.R.A. and not Iraq, as we were told by the fanatical neo-cons. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. But by giving Bin Laden a 7-year reprieve, we are now fighting an even more empowered and unified Taliban militant religious movement, Islamic extremists, patriotic nationalists and drug lords that make the Mexican or Colombian cartels seem like boy scouts. They do not wear uniforms, and they do not need Al-Qaeda. They are surrounded by nations who despise infidel troops on their lands, who support them with weapons, manpower, logistics, and bases, and they don???t need our money since they grow and supply illegal drugs. We have allowed them become stronger by our obsessive focus on the oil in Iraq.

If we somehow reasoned, after punishing the Taliban for hosting Bin Laden, that we could now bring ???democracy??? to I.R.A., our political leaders, intelligence and military failed to tell our brave soldiers or the American people that I.R.A. could never be unified. I.R.A. has over 50 political parties, independent tribal and religious leaders and warlords, over 60 Pashtun tribes and 400 sub-clans. One may become the corrupted and anointed president of the capital Kabala, as is president Karzai, but that is provided one receives 50% of the vote. But who votes? The President of IRA only governs our new ???Green Zone???, Kabul, anyway. If we had a President that only governed Washington D.C., how effective would his/her policies be? It is obvious that true democracy is not possible in the I.R.A.

In its endeavour to be the master of the world, the US is still not able to control one poor and backward country like Afghanistan. Even with its best commanders, the latest and most advance war machines and years of fighting, the US still has no solution to resolve the war in Afghanistan. This has down graded the US to that of the Sri Lankan government fighting to subdue the Tamil Tigers.

There are three alternatives that the US can do. Firstly is to continue the never ending war. Secondly is to withdraw. The third choice is to convert Kabul to be an independent City State ( I propose to name it Kabulistan) with the rest of Afghanistan being handed over to the Talibans which is actually happening at this very moment - the US is just barely able to control Kabul.

I've been a huge advocate of talking to so-called "rogue states" like Iran and North Korea, but I don't think talking to the Taliban is the right idea. They are true hardliners and committed jihadists and *will* continue endless war against the U.S. if they can. At this point we do have to finish that war.

Diplomacy is off the table with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Everyone else, I think we should talk to.

To: "Vote Now" - I assume you are about 12 years old, and your limousine liberal parents write this for you.

Excuse me, little boy or girl. "Vote Now"! Why vote now? I don't understand Barry''s big"vote now"! Something Barry wants to hide???

Sarah palin when asked about becoming vp responded

"As for that VP talk all the time, I tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me, 'what is it exactly that the VP does every day......"

After she had been the nominee for around 2 months she was asked again and this time said

[T]hey???re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.

WRONG THE VP IS THERE TO STEP IN IF SOMTHING HAPPENS TO THE PRESIDENT ONLY THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH POLICY AND THEY DONT RUN THE SENATE!!
If she doenst know what the vice pres or presidant does why would we give her the job

Mccain has around a 40 percent chance because of his age in not being able to

complete his term picking palin was about as smart as picking any other mrs Alaska contestant.

Its not just that we disagree with her answers in alot of cases she doesnt understand basic questions
like what is the bush doctrine, or what do you read.
These are not gotcha questions!!!
One of advisors recently said not only was she unqualified but said mccain picked her after 1 interview of about a hour
and that even at mcdonalds you get 3 interviews.
Members of her own campaign called her a diva and a whack job.
They would know better then anyone else right now.

So mccain gambled and he lost big. He ended up with a girl that cant answer questions that most of the people reading this can answer.
at the same time mccain could never read this blog because he cant use a computer at all.
I mean his wife has 100 million dollars get him classes or something.

Am i crazy or do we want a computer literate president and a vp who can answer a least basic questions.
If you read the rest of the articles on this site you would think the world is about to end
So if thats the case these are the last 2 people you want running anything.
let send them packing.

ELECT OBAMA BIDEN NOW

actually forget my last comment I'm not even going to prove a point or agrue or even turn this one into an experiment! I'm gona take the choice to leave this one alone!

The Taliban has not country. If Allah had wanted the Taliban to have a country, they would not have bombed a super power who it important to world security.
