Five Years Later: Remarkably, unbelievably, we're still over there and what do we have to show for it? We utilize information from the Huffington Post's "Five Years Later" and The Progress Report's "Five Years of War" for background into our commentary into the endless debacle called our invasion of Iraq, the purpose of which, according to President Bush, was to "disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger". A sobering segment on a topic that seems to be shoved aside from the front and center position it deserves.
Disconnected-in-Chief: Robert Sheer has outdone himself with "Bush's Legacy of Failure", posted Tuesday on
www.truthdig.com. His opening line, "That idiotic 'what me worry' look just never leaves the man's visage" says it all. Listen up for the details, which would be hilarious if they weren't so sadly true. We cannot help but wonder how in the world did we manage to get to this point with this man at the helm?
America's Economic Collapse: Paul Craig Roberts' The Collapse of American Power", published Tuesday in
www.informationclearinghouse.info is another brilliant commentary on the disarray of the Union. And it's not pretty. After all, Roberts points out the hard, cold truth that the U.S. is in fact bankrupt, unable to pass an audit, accruing liabilities of $53 trillion as of September 30, 2007, owing as opposed to owning the world. And of course when the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency, how are we going to pay the bills? Join us for more on this vitally important topic.
Flicker of Hope: That would be found in Senator Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech Tuesday in Philadelphia. No one else could have better addressed the existing racial tension and some of the reasons behind the racial divide while inviting a conversation rather than delivering a lecture criticizing those for their individual fears and resentments. We think Eugene Robinson's "Obama Walks the Minefield", published Wednesday on
www.truthdig.com is an excellent comment on the importance of Obama's call to directly address the racial issue and to outline a path to move onward and upward.
Our goal: To return on Monday March 24. Hang in there!
