The Last of the Tempest in a Teapot
The Clinton thing makes great copy, but the truth is it is yet another distraction from what really matters: Where do we go from here?
What do we do about Iraq? When is the “Mission Accomplished”? Can we sustain a very long drawn out conflict while coping with Iran and North Korea? How do we stop the Taliban from regaining power in the region? How do we really protect people from terrorists?
And there are our domestic problems: In the middle of this war, how do we fund the VA that has come up 3 billion dollars short? How do we reduce the growth of this 8.5 trillion dollar deficit? Who is going to pay for it and how? How do we reduce and eliminate our dependence on Middle East oil? How do we rebuild the Gulf Coast and protect Americans from natural disasters? How do we assure affordable healthcare and prescription drugs in this country? How do we ensure our children are well educated? How do we provide living wages for them after they are educated? How do we ensure Americans are cared for in their senior years? How do we make immigration work? How do we unlock our government from the sweaty, sticky stranglehold Corporate America has on it? How do we maintain our rights and freedoms in the Bush administration’s “War on T’rrur”?
And how are we to balance the needs of mankind and living in a sustainable relationship with the environment?
Actually, I would really like the Bush administration to go away so I can go back to worrying about this last one.
And that’s sitting here for five minutes and listing stuff off the top of my head. I’m sure there are a lot more problems that are not so readily apparent to me.
From the reactions I’ve read on the internet, the Clinton interview hasn’t changed anyone’s mind. Neo-con Bush supporters insist he lied (despite all evidence to the contrary) and are having fun mocking the spliced up interview presented on Fox and the Democrats and people who have actually read the 9-11 Commission Report think that he finally got in Faux New’s grill.
It has however created an opportunity for Condi Rice to reveal what a boneheaded liar she is.
She’s not the only one.
Does these belligerent idiots really think that no one has read the 9-11 Commission Report? Maybe they should stop screening their audiences so much and really look at what the American people are thinking rather than just their rabid supporters.
In the meantime, what do we do from here?
And why can’t someone come up with a plan for what to do from here other than the Bush administration’s “Stay the Course”?
I have checked the elections for my district, and unfortunately, neither Senator is up this November. My Congressman is, but he has not responded to any of my letters. So it maybe time to track down where he is speaking and ask some tough questions. I suggest people around the nation do the same to their officials on the campaign trial.
My thoughts and prayers are with my Brother-in-law and his fmaily.
