Do you think it is justifiable to continue this process? What is the end game. Are we going to securitize the WMD apparatus of Pakistan? When did this become the objective.
Large standing armies are a byproduct of a socialist system. It takes huge revenue enhancement and the selective restriction of individuals based on the needs of the state. It is not a conservative democratic principle. Yes, we need a standing army. When it is active, there must be a clear cut goal supported by a consensus of the people. Tell me the goal. Just one more time, Mr. President.
The debate on the war is being deliberately maligned and marginalized. It is US citizens that no longer know the truth of a collective mandate. We lie to ourselves and blame our leaders. We are played based on our assumed sense of global superiority.
It is a clownshow. I don't have to be proud of my country to be a patriot. Blame ourselves and not others. Have the courage to admit the US is not so great anymore and fix it.
It's not about superiority anymore folks. It's survival. Have the courage to take a stand.
War is not a conservative issue. Stop treating it like there is no debate or that it is an exclusive talking point. People are dying. We need to be involved. The President is using this leak as a way to justify his actions as commander in chief. There is no strategy. President Bush was the king of creep.
That makes us fools. That makes us creeps.
THE REVIEW
The nomination of General Barry McCaffrey as drug czar symbolizes the nation's dramatic retreat from the principle of separation of military and civilian power. It further demonstrates the degree to which the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 -- which outlaws military involvement in civilian law enforcement -- is being ignored and undermined by both the drug warriors and the Clinton administration.
