What was the big rush to attack Iraq?
1. The “urgency” put all domestic problems on the back burner and made them tomorrow’s problems. Out of sight out of mind. President Bush had and has no agenda for dealing with these matters.
2. Declaring war on Iraq made Bush a “war time president” and as such he gained unusual, unprecedented, limitless powers which made him immune to answering to anyone for his actions and circumventing the constitutional right for our governmental bodies to exercise their duty to declare war. A sly and devious end-run. This man is a smoking gun and is leading us down a dangerous path.
3. We now face the greatest debacle of taxes and rampant spending ever foisted upon the American public. And you ain’t seen nothing yet. It may not be called taxation but wait till our utility rates start to soar among other costs hidden under names other than “taxes.”
We will never recover from the national debt. Years ago there was a movie about a conspiracy of men dedicated to ruining the country from within. It scared me then and it scares me even more now.
