U.S. Troops Give Barack Obama Their Elitist ‘Money’
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
Oh ho ho: “According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain, and the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul, though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago, has received more than four times McCain’s haul.” Wow. Barack Obama hates American troops so much that he takes all of their money! [OpenSecrets via AMERICAblog]

No timetables for leaving Iraq, declares our George W. Bush! The terrorists would dine out on a timetable! This is why we do not have a timetable for leaving Iraq, even though the Iraqi government wants one (although they have elections too and may be PANDERING to bums who will be killed upon withdrawal[!]). Today, however, “The United States and Iraq have agreed to set a ‘general time horizon’ for the ‘further reduction of U.S. combat forces in Iraq.’” Ooh, this is the ticket. It’s sort of like saying “nothing will change at all, and this crap should temporarily appease both of our stupid constituencies,” but with a different set and sequence of words. [
Have you heard about a more innocent era, when everybody dressed sharp and we actually fought (and won!) wars against actual heavily armed military enemies and you could go to the bathroom without a senator trying to rape you? And do you like any combination of these things: America, The Troops, Veterans, Half-Naked Girls, Nostalgic Half-Naked Girl Pinups, and/or calendars? Oh good, then you may enjoy the Pinups For Vets calendar of nostalgic World War II-style 
There is no greater enemy to the U.S. war machine than public policy lecturer Linda J. Bilmes. The terrorist lady has written several economic reports on the costs of the Iraq occupation — all showing the price of the endless war is gazillions of dollars more than anyone in Washington will admit.
