I'm writing this because I do not feel the Democratic Party is doing enough to explain the real problem with a 100 year occupation of Iraq. John McCain said we could basically be there forever as long as troops aren't being killed. However troops signup at a great risk, so that’s really not the primary issue here.
The primary issue is that we are spending an insane amount of money to try to START propping up a country with major cultural indifferences. Once and IF we actually prop up this country it may take even more money to get it running and to continue running. Let’s face it a big part of the oil profits are going to be filtered to the companies who are sucking out the oil.
McCain wants to cut taxes here so our roads can go to hell however he doesn’t seem to mind investing insane amounts of tax dollars to rebuild the Iraq infrastructure (which may not even get a quality product for them). His dated cold war mindset to building bases all over the world will bleed us dry. There is no doubt that having such a large footprint is going to spread us so thin that it keeps us from being able to protect our own streets and borders. And that is an issue even Republicans can get behind. SO LETS GET THE MESSAGE STRAIGHT!!
