WHY are we losing Middle East? YOUR tax $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I used to think that my Country was the very BEST and BRIGHTEST, most altrusic in the World... no more.

If you "wonder" WHY these "Wars of choice" happened, especially after the Vietnam fiasco... please read further.

If you have family and friends who refuse to listen to logic and reason... I guarantee they will listen if they read this - 50 cents of YOUR TAX DOLLARS go to WAR & WAR PROFITEERS - at the expense of all of us!  

Our foreign policy efforts now have a new name -
"The Katrina Foreign Policy" - in fact and in truth.

Our DEMOCRACY is only as good as the people involved.
TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE - VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!

Make them accountable!

Excerpt - "Afganistan, Inc."

"A highway that begins crumbling before it is finished. A school with a collapsed roof. A clinic with faulty plumbing. A farmers' cooperative that farmers can't use. Afghan police and military that, after training, are incapable of providing the most basic security.

And contractors walking away with millions of dollars in aid money for the work. The Bush Administration touts the reconstruction effort in Afghanistan as a success story.

Perhaps, in comparison to the violence-plagued efforts in Iraq and the incompetence-riddled efforts on the American Gulf Coast, everything is relative. A new report "Afghanistan, Inc.," issued by the non-profit organization CorpWatch, details the bungled reconstruction effort in Afghanistan.

Massive open-ended contracts have been granted without competitive bidding or with limited competition to many of the same politically connected corporations which are doing similar work in Iraq: Kellogg, Brown & Root (a subsidiary of Halliburton ), DynCorp, Blackwater, The Louis Berger Group, The Rendon Group and many more. Engineers, consultants, and mercenaries make as much as $1,000 a day, while the Afghans they employ make $5 per day.

These companies are pocketing millions, and leaving behind a people increasingly frustrated and angry with the results."
