premier bush today requested $64 billion in additional funds for the war(s) in Iraq and Afghanistan (read: 90 per cent Iraq, chump change for the Afghans). we are approaching an inordinately massive amount of money that has been dumped into this mess, some of which seems to have been lost in the fray. meanwhile, our state is on fire. chairwoman Pelosi should grow some metaphorical testicles and request that we divert resources to our own crumbling cities before sending plethoras of money to destroy somebody else’s.
i have very little to add to this rant, it seems to speak for itself. if you’re not pissed that we’re still funding our own region decimating conflicts stemming from a sick neo-con democratization experiment gone horribly wrong, i don’t really know what to say. congratulations. keep smoking whatever you’re smoking, since it seems to give you the oft-desired ability to completely abscond from reality.
