vietnam part two
Iraq -- Another helicopter shot down, killing six, the second helicopter this week to crash and lead to mass casualities. This brings the Novemeber death toll to 33 for the US, that's almost 5 soldiers a day, a huge spike in the already growing costs that we are paying for Bush's ego-trip extraordinaire.
But does anyone really care? I mean, do any new people see this and say "you know what Bush? This wasn't such a good idea going in there. You lied to us and now our sons and daughters and friends and loved ones are dying by the helicopter load, and for what?" No they don't. The numbers of people approving this bullshit continue to stay astronomically high given the circumstances. Bush's numbers continue to hover around the slightly more than 50% mark and that's totally ridiculous. Why do people still support Bush? I DON'T GET IT. Perhaps it's because I'm unemployed and Bush hasn't done anything to create more jobs, perhaps it's because I don't like fellow Americans dying for nothing in desert sands half a world away, perhaps it's because I don't really appreciate being told lies around every corner, but Bush is the single worst president that this country has had sinceCalvin Coolidge back in the 1920's. And I'm being dead serious here. You come back to this website 100 years from now after history has settled in and reread that and just absorb the fact that I knew it before the historians were willing to fully place judgement. But that's the way it will be.
In the meantime my faith in America fluctuates with the approval numbers of George W. Bush.
