this war

what is it good for? Military Intel. Plain and simple. Strategery. Establishing a presence smak dab in the middle of the friggin desert. At the cost of 3000+ lives and countless new gimps with psychological impairments. All paying the ultimate sacrifice or very close to it. But it just amazes me that with all the techno brains we have in this country, we can't get any closer to resolution. Or maybe we have, it's just not public knowledge. And that wouldn't surprise me. There's a shitload we don't know about. Exit the old plan, enter Queen Nancy. Takes a visit to Iraq, and at the end of the day, what does she say? The same they all say after their first visit: "we've gained a newfound appreciation of what is going on here", or some bullshit line like that. And so it begins. Again. The more things change, the more they stay the same. But at least I'm glad to see her royal Frisco worshipfulness is allowed to see the light.

So what's the deal with negotiation? Do we not do that on a global level anymore? And what happened to the UN? Do they still exist? Well, I hope this is all worth it some day, if not for my sake, but for the sake and safety of my daughters as they assume this massive debt and international responsibility.

Welcome Back.
