Down with the Right-wing

I'm in shock that Republicans can blame the fallout of their own voter base on the exposure of the Foley incident. Reading from the Chicago Times this morning, Clarence Page, made it evident that Republican voter support had dropped way before the Foley leak due to the fiasco in Iraq, immigration, which is out of control, the deficit, and other issues. Wow! Who would have thought that voters in general are getting a little disenchanted with the current majority, and the useless presidential administration.
It has been 3 full years in Iraq, and good ole' "W" Bush, and his band, have yet to offer the American public a valid explanation for the war, where the WMD's are, and an end-game to the whole Mid-East situation. Let's get to work there, Georgey! It seems to me that U.S. citizens have been had by the Bush leadership. Swindled so to speak. Now you can challenge me with all that "support our troops", patriotic bullshit, but I'm not referring to our troops. I am referring to our president.
Roll back to 15 years ago, in the Gulf War, when Bush's pop rolled into Southern Iraq to beat Sadaam back out of Kuwait. After driving his forces back over the border, Coalition troops continued to engage with Iraqi soldiers, until the UN decided that a cease-fire was necessary. And all of the fiasco was avoided by simply allowing the global community agree on ending any further violence or loss of lives.
Now, sure there were many conflicts that occurred during the Clinton administration, but often time Clinton would opt out of large scale conflict, and would typically give control of these situations to the Pentagon, so that maybe those experts could handle it. During Clinton's presidency multiple small special forces operations were carried out, it was even a highly recommended strategy by some CIA operatives, who were former soldiers. But, now we face a "new war" as quoted by many in the U.S.'s current administration. What the hell is so new about sending hundreds of thousands of troops into battle? The insurgent's numbers are most likely not even worth the comparison to the coalation's. It's too big, and way too ineffective. Duh!
This war in Iraq needs to end. The U.S. tax payers are paying for a war that isn't theirs, and never was. I don't care what all you ultra-nationalists have to say, because it's a known fact that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. The Bush administration simply needed an excuse to use all U.S. citizen's taxes to protect his and his cohort's assets in the Middle East. How convenient for you Mr. Bush. Of course you can't convince a stable country like your own to go to war, a country where everyone lives fat and happy, to invade a country with an armory straight out of 1970's Cold War Russia. What are the insurgents going to blow up our satellites with rocket launchers. Give me a break.
The real threat here is the U.S.'s precious oil. A commodity that the U.S. is so attached to, that we fien for it like a smack junkie. I assume that when Saudi Arabia, and it's useless military felt the pressure coming on by Sadaam in 1991, they bitched an whined to the U.S. all the way back to K Street, until someone did something about it. The Saudi kingdom probably threatened our steady oil fix, or who knows, maybe with all the billions of dollars they have from it, maybe, just maybe they shed some of their riches to terrorists (which by the way mainly derive their citizenship from Saudi Arabia), in order to give Washington an excuse to go to war, and get rid of a small problem just North of Saudi Arabia.
I beg of you, if you're an honest American, you would question everything our government is doing right now. Don't take sides, don't get distracted.
