Magister_26: Bring Them Home

Bring Them Home

It is Super Bowl Sunday which has become almost a National Holiday or at least Day of Celebration. It is a day that has become much more than just the culmination of the National Football League's hugely profitable season. Team owners whether they are winners or losers continue to profit from America's obsession with the NFL. I will also admit that I fall victim to the same obsession every year. Many of us will gather today in our homes with family or friends to enjoy pre-game activities and then the ever anticipated (?) 'What was I going to say here'? Is it the game or the ever growing cost of Super Bowl Commercial time for whatever product? I am not necessarily saying this is a bad thing, but it is an example and reminder of 'American Greed'.

There is another example and reminder of the same kind of greed and that is the profitability that many American Companies have found in Iraq. I have remained very curious about the meetings that the Vice President had with our critically important 'Energy Corporations' in the early moments of the Bush Administration. Yet, they were deemed so sensitive that the Cheney-Bush Administration classified the discussions of those meetings. I think each of us should be asking ourselves 'why' especially within the context of the growing profits of these companies and then the invasion of oil rich Iraq. We can be given many reasons why we went to war and allowed ourselves to become a debtor nation, but there is only one answer that comes close to a sufficiently honest answer and that again is 'American Greed'.

We have important primaries on Tuesday but then candidates of both parties have not given me a clear enough answer about 'WHEN WILL THEY BRING ALL OUR MEN AND WOMEN HOME'. The Republican simply want to continue the failed policies of George W. Bush while the Democrats talk about ending the war but they are very fuzzy about exactly when.

RON PAUL - JUST BRING THEM HOME

I am not a supporter of Ron Paul's political philosophy of no government, but this is a good clip. It not only shows the futility of this struggle but those who are bearing the emotional and physical cost of this war. If the War in Iraq were truly a National Struggle where the children and grandchildren of CEO's of American Corporations as well as members of Congress were being placed in Harm's Way, do you believe this war would continue or would we 'Bring Them Home'?

This is a clip of Barack Obama addressing Veterans as well as issues of people who simply have no voice. It is not just a tragedy but an unconscionable disgrace that we have Homeless Veterans in 2008.

HILLARY CLINTON @ DNC: "I'll End This War"

Hilary Clinton like many others voted to give George W. Bush the authority to use military force against Iraq in 2002. If we are going to be fair to the senator, we must remember that she was deceived by faulty intelligence like so many others did. It was a mistake but it was one that was based on a lie.

The Democratic Party is putting forth two excellent candidates that will bring a change and a new direction to government in Washington. One of the most important changes that either one will do for this nation is 'Bring Them Home'. The decision will be difficult but whomever you choose it must be for a candidate who will 'Bring Them Home'.
