Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

Was it a mistake that Iraq was targeted for war with those phony weapons of mass destruction scenario, embellished by nuclear nightmare fright horror tactics?  None of the distortions or lies was ever investigated.

God forbid we find out the truth!

Someone might get impeached!  Just think if Bush had been impeached.  Who would be there to do that comical Saudi sword dance with our rich oil partners of the Middle East?  Who would deliver the $30 billion arms deal to provide peace for the region?  Who would deliver billions of bucks to U.S. arms billionaires?

When the truth was revealed that the media blitz, employing a general delivering fright talk with forged documents at the U.N. and the "shock and awe" Iraq War bombing the hell out of Baghdad, a strange thing happened.  

The media moguls refused to acknowledge that their "go to war" rants were well orchestrated lies.  Suddenly they carried on about the idealistic goal of delivering freedom and democracy to the entire Middle East.  

Now after nearly eight years of Bush's Republican administration's horrors, the U.S. is a nation divided.  More than half the nation is outraged that the high ideals of the U.S.A. have been abandoned as the Constitution which made this nation great has been ruthlessly trashed.

The national debt skyrockets as Bush and Republican lackeys along with spineless Democrats pour more billions into continuing the Iraq War debacle.

As for democracy, that too has been trashed.  The Iraq votes of 70% of its citizens who want the U.S. to get out of that occupied nation have been totally ignored.  The building of one of the world's largest U.S. embassies in Iraq speaks louder than words.

The Congress cannot provide health care for uninsured U.S. children.  But this so-called Christian nation can provide government backing to go on the record as having funds to provide billions of bucks for continuing the Iraq War.  

The Democrats blatantly ignored democracy.  They were placed in power to end the Iraq War.  But they are beholden to their lobbyists providing what amounts to bribes to keep them in power, in exchange for their votes.  

Forget the death and destruction; forget the lies that dragged the U.S. into the Iraq War and the international disrespect that tragic act wrought.  The banker's wife, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, delivered words that will live in infamy when she stated, "Impeachment is off the table."

The foolish followers listened to the siren song of Nancy Pelosi's refusal to finding out the truth about Bush through an impeachment investigation.

Now we are asking a former enemy China as well as any bank around the world that will loan us money to sustain our frightful policies of economic insanity.  

As the dollar descends in free fall, Nancy Pelosi, being a banker's wife, might comprehend how currency decline precedes a nation's collapse.  With a $10 trillion budget deficit shortly becoming a tragic reality and with scores of U.S. manufacturing jobs being currently outsourced what next?
