US officially ends Iraq war:

Yesterday a bitter/sweet day for the United States of America.

Nearly 4,500 soldiers, Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines died; countless permanently injured and disfigured for life who served their country in a war that was unnecessary and that should have never happened.

This war in dollars cost the USA 225 million a week or 1.8 billion a month. Are those staggering numbers?

All of the lives it cost and the dollars spent were for a country that has been doing the same thing for thousands of years, “killing each other in the name of god”. Nothing there including all it cost the USA is ever going to change anything. A country that would not give the USA a band aide if a semi-truck ran us over, just like every other country in the world we have stuck our necks out for or give aide to.

There are some estimates published that our government gives as much as 25 billion dollars in aid each year while our country is falling apart.

Are you kidding me? Is this where all of our taxes and backbreaking hard earned money goes? What can justify giving this much aide or should I say gifts to other countries when we are in such poor financial condition? Do our leaders have blinders on? I guess that answer is yes.

Take a look at some of the countries listed. They are our arch enemies and don’t make any bones about it. We are buying guns and rocket launchers for them to blow our helicopters out of the sky and to shoot our troops.

I am willing to bet that not one half of 1% of the American citizens are remotely aware of what goes on in their country. The more I research the more exasperated I become. Maybe it is a good thing not knowing.

Our “leaders” in DC throw our money around like they are playing with Monopoly money instead of real dollars. What is the matter with these people?

Are we trying to buy friendship or trying to make people around the world like us? Open your eyes up fellas; we have no friends around the world. All we have are a bunch of leaches sucking our country dry and you are letting them. Let see how many back slappers go into hiding if the checks quit coming in.

I know the big picture is a lot bigger than me but common sense tells me that there is something drastically wrong with this picture.

How many times is the USA going to get slapped in the face, stabbed in the back and kicked in the ass before our selected few on top on “Snob Hill” realize that our country is being had by the rest of the world?

Are we supposed to ask all of our “legal, tax paying citizens” to keep paying their taxes so we can fund the rest of the world, especially our enemies. Or should we keep telling all the people that have no health insurance, no job, no money, no medicine, don’t know where their next meal is coming from that all of the above named countries are more important than they are?

I guess that is why every four years the good citizens of our country go to the polls to elect people that lie their asses of to get into to office and not one thing ever changes.

It really doesn’t matter who a person votes for. Every one of the candidates are all ego maniacs, self-serving people that just want the prestige of becoming the PRES and get their name in the history books.

The only one that MAY have the well-being of the country at heart is “The Donald”. He too has a giant ego but if he is “shooting from the hip”. Donald truly wants to run for president for the betterment of the country and he will get my vote if he runs.

He is not a politician, does not owe anyone anything, does not have to repay favors and clearly sees who the enemies of the USA are and will deal with them as need be.

So far he is the only person to take the bull by the horns, tell it like it is and is not afraid to step on toes to get the job done. Let’s face it; a person cannot be a good or great leader and be a popular person. It takes balls and a lot of guts to do the job the right way regardless of criticism.

The democrats have had 3.5 years to straighten out the mess that the former administration made and have not accomplished anything. It seems rather odd to me that all of the initiatives that was supposed to start 3.5 years ago are just getting under way now that election time is right around the corner?

What kind of cold-blooded leaders would use those kinds of back door tactics? Remember what I have said before; “it is all about money and power”.

Politics is a big chess game and we are the pawns.

I truly hope that the future leaders of the United States of America focus on getting our country back to where it once was as a world power and make our people proud again. I also hope that we have learned that charity begins at home and we should keep our noses out of other countries business because “don’t tell me to clean my closet when your own home is a mess”.

Wake up America and get rid of the dead weight. Elect someone that can look the beast in the yes and not flinch.
