You Think What?

That’s the way the headline appeared in the USA Today newspaper. (more…)

We watched the speech delivered by President Barack Obama at the Military Academy at West Point in West Point, New York. We were very disappointed.

We were among the thousands who wrote to the president asking him not to commit more troops to the war in Afghanistan.

We are among the millions who know there is more to this story than meets the eye.

We heard Mr. Obama’s elegant and eloquent obfuscation of the facts. We heard him say the security of the United States is at risk.

Hmmm, that sounds to us like they have something in Afghanistan, like the Panama Canal, or the oil in Iraq, vital to our existence. It sounds like they have something we want. It sounds like the usual spin on the facts. Something belonging to another sovereign nation must be confiscated by our military in order to further the U.S. goal of world domination.

Tell the truth Mr. President. We implore you! The true reason for the surge in Afghanistan. Tell us the truth about the strategy to take what does not belong to us. Tell us the truth about minimizing the sovereignty of another nation. Didn’t we do this already in Iraq when our troops invaded in 2003?
