Will 2008 ever get here???

As I look on CNN today, I see Bush and his comrades trying to push this Detainee Bill....another scapegoat bill used for blanketing the mistakes and misjudgements of the Bush Administration. For the past 5 years, the Bush Administration has made mistake after mistake after mistake and yet no one is standing up to give him what he deserve...an impeachment ( I can think of other things but I do not need the Secret Service at my doorstep right now).

After 9/11, America put all differences aside to mourn, support and stand up for what our country was based on. A lot of us had hatred in our hearts for the people who did this to us and wanted revenge. I personally do not believe in an eye for an eye way of dealing with things but I felt that way strongly during the attacks.

Immediately we knew Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda were responsible for the whole incident; yet we made the decision to invade and proclaim war on Saddam and Iraq for they had WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction). I was only a college student then, a senior at Auburn University and didn't fully understand the shadiness and imcompetence of our nation's government but it was odd to me that we were about to invade war on a place that didn't have anything to do with 9/11...at least that what's I thought. I could've sworn it was Osama and Al Queda in Afghanistan that permantely removed two vivacious landmarks of New York's skyline but I'm trusting that American made the right decision.

Three years later, no weapons of mass destruction, no peace in Iraq and definitely no Osama. Now it has come out that, oops "there was no connection between Saddam and al Queda...our bad" I'm no political scientist...I was only a public administration major but that seemed like common sense 3 YEARS ago. We have lost over 1500 American soldiers and civilians who were sent overseas to protect our country and I won't begin to label how many civilian Iraqi lives were lost during this liberation. This adminsitration has been the worst ever. Gas prices have skyrocketed for no apparent reason, last year we witnessed a third world situation in our own nation due to the negligence of the government (from both Democratic and Republican sides), and I still have yet to see weapons of mass destruction. Just becasuse we are a superpower, we don't have to act like one, so quick to run 0verseas to help those that seem in need, neglecting the problems we face over here; poverty, racism, sexism, etc.


It's amazing how we can impeach a president for getting head in the office but can't impeach one who has truly f****d the nation. Where in the world is Kenneth Starr?
