Before 9/11, the reason Bush pursued discussions of war  with Iraq at the White House, and following 9/11 with invasion of Afghanistan still fresh in our face, spoke publicly to the nation putting forth a smorgasbord of reasons for an Iraq war, requires an authentic imperative.

I fell into Paul's special orders talk live at approx. 7:30 PST and am still astounded at his expansive depiction of the false distribution of dollars to benefit the wealthy, amonting to counterfeiting money.  He used the massive Abramamoff lobbying scam to demonstrate our fall into Rome's mistake at allowing its wealth to disintigrate leading to its fall.  Same will happen to this country.

Paul emphasized the U.S. fight over use of the Euro by any country outside of Europe.  He pointed out that Saddam was starting to use the Euro for his exchange in trade instead of the dollar; and this had a lot to do with the attack on Iraq, while noting this was not the only reason.
He then pointed to Venezuela's decision to use the Euro a year after new government in office,  right after which Bush tried to overthrow the legitimate government claiming it was not democratic when the leader was voted in by the people.  Iran he stated is using the Euro also, and this is important in U.S. stance against Iran.

He said last night in his decline speech that all he wants is to do the best for da people of Kalifornia.  He's also made a statement somewhat softly that he will get the special interests that are ruining Kalifornia.  What?

Do you know who they are?  The public employee unions, which he wants to privatize, and then have his special interest Goldman Sachs (in which he has about 6 parterships of his own) do the investment consulting for the privatized unions.

Miers who became a born-again Christian some years ago has been close to Bush since Texas governor days.  She's a consummate White House Insider.  There's no question where she stands on the controversial issues being bludgeoned by the Right:  ABORTION, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, CIVIL RIGHT,EXECUTIVE POWER, SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
