With all the pundits and all the politicians talking about 6 months for the last 6 years, they only came up with like 3 examples of it? What a waste.

The military industry has been looking for this war since it first discovered the profits from the world wars. The tried and failed with Korea and Vietnam. They almost had a winner in the phony 'war on drugs', but they just couldn't scare soccer moms enough with the threat of their kids trying marijuana, the soccer moms having some experience with that themselves, so support for that phony war deteriorated (although it still goes on). Enter the "war on Terror". Can't be won. Ever. Must be fought. Always. Focus groups report Soccer moms are more frightened of brown men with "dirty nukes" than suburban kids with joints. Easier to manipulate news from a front that is thousands of miles away and on the other side of the ocean. The perfect war is one that cannot be won but must always be fought.

Wars are meant to be fought. The great purpose of War has been to transfer wealth from the masses to the few. In War, oversight on government spending hinders the war effort. Civil liberties hinder the war effort. Those who oppose the war are unpatriotic, traitors even, and must be expunged. Dissent is stiffled, while those who commit atrocities are welcomed as heros.

John McCain attempted to turn his infamously combustible temper from an electoral liability into political strength. <strong>"If I lose my capacity for anger, then I shouldn't be president of the United States,"</strong> the Senator explained to host Chris Wallace. "When I see the waste and corruption in Washington, I get angry." You must be angry all the time, I'm thinking anger management classes are in order. And for the first time I completely agree with you; you shouldn't be president of the United States. Appearing on Fox News this past Sunday, Sen.

They served there purpose, why should he be bothered with updating the VA Hospitals. Every time he opens his mouth and speaks, he shows all of us what a mental giant he is. Heavy, Heavy Sarcasm....
