I can only assume that your thinking is that we should not have invaded anyone.....THAT I totally disagree with. Folks who talk like this have very very short memories of a regime in Iraq that EVERYONE in the world thought had WMD's...and we KNEW they had used biological weapons on their own people. Now, we had just been attacked......so you can "monday morning quarterback" all you want but....THIS HEALTH BILL....this was not done in any kind of atmosphere that demanded action as 9/11 did...it was done with a concentrated effort by a few and trust me...this bill, unless repealed will haunt us for many many decades !
I am tired of hearing about Iraq and Afghanastan.....if this board was up and running at the time of the invasion of Iraq, I would say that everyone would be supporting. It is easy to do the "monday morning" thing now and seems to be the left answer to anything and all that has to do with this bill or anything on the deficit...it is the first thing out of their mouth !
