Unbeliveable..total stupidity

I almost feel that I should stop watching TV, listening to the radio or even reading commentaries on the net.

I'm not a pacifist, nor a flag burner. If anything, I've always considered myself to be a proud American, proud of my country and my fellow countrymen.

At the same time, I do yearn for peace.  The kind of peace that allows our young men and women to live a full life in our wonderful country and not lose their life-blood upon foreign sands.

Yes, watching an old time movie can make patriotic feelings surge evoking images of  Mom and apple pie.

Today, one of our respected leaders made several very stupid assertions with regard to Iran.

Let's see...we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Neither one is resolved to any great conclusion, just a constant blood letting of our youth. Remember WMD? Found none.

Now, we are being told that Iran is supplying men to fight in Iraq.  Wonder if we were to search for the camps supplying these men, would the results be the same as WMD?  A case of the tail wagging the dog?

I am so tired of politicians, their theme song should be "watch my feet, I'm dancing as fast as I can". 

Granted we have to be diligent in protecting our country, but I cannot see rhyme or reason for a strike against Iran.

Four years ago, we should of gone after Bin Laden with a passion that would not stop till we caught the mother. But no, let's spread ourselves all over the place. Are we really in a position to be the world's hammer? Coming down on anyone or anything that we feel might be a problem to us in the future?

I look in the mirror today and I don't see the guys in the white hats anymore.  All I see is greed, money, oil and blood.
