Fascinating

I am fascinated today by a long debate I heard. The crux of the administration side of the debate is that we MUST insist on political unity in Iraq before we start pulling our troops from there.

Fascinating coming from a leadership that does not seek political unity in our own country. Even such items as funding a stupid war cannot find unity. Nor should it. We who believe the war is not in our best interest would never agree to funding it without some evidence - anything - any little idea or proof - beyond stealing oil from the "dumb third world countries" - that it is in the best interest of the world for this war to continue. So, there will be no unity here. And that's okay. We can agree to disagree and simply not like each other here in the United States.

If a person is asking for "extra emergency funding" they should be able to show, in plain American English, what the emergency is. There is no emergency in my eyes, and they should not use my granchildren's tax money to pretend there is an emergency. If there's no emergency, then a sane person should not vote for emergency funding.

What's fascinating is that we're (the Bush administration represents the US people, which includes little ol' me) insisting on unity over there.

I love headaches. These idiots are giving me a huge one today.
