Anybody Left On The Other Side?

Now even Andy Rooney (America's rated-PG, prime-time version of George Carlin) is writing opinion pieces about the stupidity of the war in Iraq.

I'm not really clear how much a billion dollars is but the United States — our United States — is spending $5.6 billion a month fighting this war in Iraq that we never should have gotten into.

We still have 139,000 soldiers in Iraq today.

Almost 2,000 Americans have died there. For what?

Now we have the hurricanes to pay for. One way our government pays for a lot of things is by borrowing from countries like China.

Another way the government is planning to pay for the war and the hurricane damage is by cutting spending for things like Medicare prescriptions, highway construction, farm payments, AMTRAK, National Public Radio and loans to graduate students. Do these sound like the things you'd like to cut back on to pay for Iraq?

Well, one out of every three Americans still thinks Iraq was a good idea. I don't know any of them. Maybe you do?
