CBS Evening News: Stuart Bowen Recounts Billions Wasted In Reconstruction, New System Needed For Afghanistan

[ajjaxtheleast]

First explain to the public the exact dire need to be in Afghanistan
that would risk tax payers' money in a time of recession.

Disregarding your apparent asumption that we already KNOW
the reason for our going into Afghanistan and that it absolutly mandates
that we do go into Afghanistan at the certain loss of life and the very possible
loss of billions more dollars please refresh our memory of this great national
security need to disrupt and in many cases destroy loyal military families.

Tell us,,,no matter how scarey the reason, we can handle it.

Hey ask Dianne Feinstein. She's on the Senate Appropriations Committee AND her husband owns two major defense contractors both of which have received no-bid contracts! She'll know...the money went straigt to her bank account.

WELL GOLLY GOSH--STUART--just who do you think we can blame for this criminal activity? Say Richard Cheney, say George Bush. How about showing some guts and not whitewash this into a gee we are so sorry for loosing all that money. Why don't you start with the obvious fact that the Iraq crusade was a criminal act. They can not blame this on faulty evidence because if Saddam had had 300 hydrogen bombs, he was no threat to the western world. He was not on the verge of destroying either Washington or London. Both Bush and Blair LIED to their people to the max on this one. Time you and the new president woke up and smelled the roses. We have all been had big time. Warrants for the arrest of the Bush crime family should be the next major event in America, along with England's warrant for Tony Blair.

All of you know, or should know, unless you were stuck in a cave somewhere, that George Bush's lackadaisical approach to leadership was a bastardization of the concept. From 11 billion dollar no-bid contracts to snarling press conferences, this one fellow failed to set the policy direction of the U.S. back fifty years. Bush, without the curiousity as to rein in a rampant wall street, and with much deception engaged us in a conflict of his choosing, has placed a heavy burden on the citizens of this country that will require years to lighten. As for Obama, truly it is pathetic and unpatriotic, that a fellow that has been in office all of 56 days is being insulted and verbally pelted by disingenious Republican losers.

I'm so sick of hearing what "must" happen (even though I agree with this guy's assessment).

What I'd like to hear is what the U.S. WILL DO.

Blame, blame, blame.

Tell Cheney not to insult other's intelligence with bald-faced lies instead of criticizing the insulted for speaking up.

[formrusmcsgt]

Number one because Iraq's reconstruction has been a disaster and the new administration knows they have to make dramatic changes or Afghanistan will be even worse.

The Bush (and Cheney) adminstration wasted or distributed million and millions of dollars among their friends causing a huge economical dissaster (besides all the US army and civil casualties) and nobody seems to care. Again, the Republicans (the elite) has convicend some that this was necessary to keep us safe (no weapons of mass destruction were ever found, no link of Iraq to al Qaida, even more Iraquis died during this war that all of the casualties combined during Hussein, 9/11 happened on Bush's and Cheney's watch even when they were warned and the list continues). Do they think we all have their low IQ and such our thumbs as they do? I hope this administration calls all the involved on this squeme to justice as they are doing with the bankers and greedy people that caused the economical melt down. It's time to say enough to the elite that has been abusing power and sucking the blood of our country as leaches.
