June 30, THE WAR ENDS, does that mean
our leaders can no longer say "we are at war" and therefore can they get the budget back in order and stop abusing our rights?

1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Surely you jest both about the war ending and our "leaders" being responsible.

2. No
It just means the new Iraqi "government" gets blamed for everything that goes wrong.

5. My wife and I watched Fog of War last night
and she made the point that there isn't going to be a VJ or VE day anymore. Who can we accept surrender from? Thank you Bush for the war that never ends.

9. The war doesn't end, only the occupation
Starting July 1, we'll be fighting the war as guests, not occupiers.

10. But I've been wondering....
is the sovereign Iraqi government now responsible for all those juicy contract obligations?

11. No,
We will still be "at war with terror"

Our troops will still be in Iraq burning through money like there is no tomorrow.

The Federal government will still be dreaming up new ways to trample your liberty. Face it, if it isn't the war on terror, it will be the war on drugs, the war on pollution, the war on pornography. There will always be some bogeyman to have a war with, a war that we just can't seem to win without giving up some more of our rights.


Excuse me, I think I have to go hurl now.
