Support the war, not the troops?

That’s exactly the message presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain sent when he did not vote or support the new GI Bill.

The new and improved GI Bill would essentially allow the troops to get enough money through an additional Patriot Tax that would allow them to go to a four year college.

This is vitally important for the troops because a lot of them come back home and become homeless and suffer from mental illnesses.

Can you guess another person who doesn’t support the bill?

George W. Bush.

Guess he truly is supporting the Bushian policies of the past.

This is why you need to be educated.

Or you will look like a complete and utter fool and become a YouTube sensation.

For some background, President Bush was in Israel and in a speech to the Knesset he essentially took a shot at Obama and comparing him to Hitler appeasers. McCain then took it a step further and compared him to Neville Chamberlain.

Obama has said that he would be fine with talking with Iran and negotiate with them, and basically using diplomacy to get Iran to end it’s nuclear weapons program. That is what McCain and Bush were referring to when calling Obama an appeaser.

Here’s the vid I’m talking about:

State of Emergency

Pakistan is under a state of emergency. Lawyers are being locked up. Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s supporters are protesting and being arrested and beaten for it.

A state of emergency. Why?

Well, Musharraf will tell you that the bombings that have killed many people in Pakistan are to blame. It’s just too dangerous with Al Qaeda and the Taliban around causing trouble! Not to mention some of Bhutto’s followers stirring up additional trouble.

That’s not it though, nope… it just doesn’t feel right. I mean, the supreme court of Pakistan was supposed to weigh in on the controversial way he won Pakistan’s recent election (98% of the vote… how many people receive 98% of a vote in a democracy?). Is it a mere coincidence that a state of emergency was declared and they can’t convene and weigh in on the election?

Let’s just hope stability is brought back to Pakistan. A destabilized Pakistan allows Al Qaeda and even the hidden Taliban to grow in the country and gather support. Oh, and it kind of takes everyone’s mind off of Iran. Yeah, remember them? Yeah, well Iran now has 3,000 centrifuges up and running. Centrifuges are machines that are used to enrich uranium. Mhm.

Oh, and Pakistan has around 50 nukes in their arsenal. Imagine if Pakistan were to fall down the gutter even more. Could some radical get their hands on a nuke? Could the military take over the country and possibly get into things with India? Imagine if a nuke from Pakistan hit India. India happens to be our ally, by the way, which means a world conflict could occur.

These are just possible outcomes of what could happen here. We’re in a tense time. Let’s hope we can help Pakistan restore some order.
