Well, if That's What it Takes...


From Bush's Oct. 11 radio address to the nation:

"The request I have made to Congress for Iraqi reconstruction includes support for important health and training projects. Under our strategy, Iraq will have employment centers to help people find jobs. We intend to establish computer training and English language instruction and vocational programs to help Iraqis participate fully in the global economy. I urge Congress to pass my budget request soon so this vital work can proceed."

Hello? Bush? Are you there? We're the people of the United States, and we will be the ones supplying the $'s for this request. We've been asking for this kind of assistance for ourselves for years; no, for decades.

Okay, then, if the only way to get your attention and get those $'s for restoration of our failing states is to have you attack us first, how about starting with Alabama, then work your way across the Euphrates Mississippi towards Sacramento. And don't tread lightly in Texas; "bring 'em on" full force there.
