Priorities
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/us/politics/12campaign.html
In an interview on the NBC “Today” show, Mr. McCain was asked whether, if the troop escalation he had long advocated in Iraq was working, he had “a better estimate of when American forces can come home.”
“No, but that’s not too important,” Mr. McCain replied. He then went on to say, as he has many times, that the most important goal is reducing casualties in Iraq, and that American troops were still in South Korea, Japan and Germany without any fear of harm.
“We will be able to withdraw,” he said. “But the key to it is that we don’t want any more Americans in harm’s way.”

As if it were not already evident that McCain is very confused and out of touch with reality, here is yet another crystal clear reminder that this clown would inflict more of the same disastrous Cheney/Bush idiocy on us. Although it is obviously not important to McCain, nor to Cheneybush’s enablers in Congress and throughout the Republican Party, it is VERY IMPORTANT to us.
Remember us? We the people? The troops who have been stuck in this quagmire for 3, 4, 5+ tours, that Cheney/Bush conned the nation into; the troops who have been injured and killed at a staggering rate; the troops whose blood is on Cheney/Bush’s hands; the National Guard troops sent into battle leaving their states unprotected in case of real emergencies; the troops they so shamelessly failed to support with adequate armor and equipment while in harm’s way; the troops and veterans they abuse and ignore when they return home seeking help for their injuries? And the families of these troops, who suffer so when they are in harms way, and when they are injured and killed? And the taxpayers who have incurred a staggering debt, growing at an estimated $10-12 Billion/month, passing the debt onto our children and grandchildren and beyond?
And for what? For Cheney/Bush to swagger in their parallel universe and pretend that none of it matters? To pursue some insane neocon delusions?
When Cheney/Bush’s needless war is brought to an end and the troops brought home is important to us, and it is important to us that we elect a president who is not stuck in the bizarre alternate universe of Cheney/Bush-land.
We the people, the sane intelligent people who have suffered at the hands of these idiots, have our priorities straight…
