First, what security have they given us? We now have the highest national debt in American history, more than 25% of the entire country is in foreclosure, more American jobs have been outsourced to other countries in the last 8 years than in the previous 224 years of this nation combined, our real estate market is in the toilet, business are going out of business at an accelerated rate, unemployment is on the rise, wages are lower today than five years ago, yet inflation is growing to over 5% a year, gas is nearly double what it was two years ago, our automobile industry is on the verge of collapse, our foreign policy for the last 8 years has led to every single other country hating us, and Americans can hardly pay their bills, yet big business has been reporting record profits every single quarter for years. What kind of security is that?
Second, we cant leave Iraq? Have you not been watching the news? The Iraqi government has declared that the US must be fully withdrawn from Iraq by December 2011, and the drawdown must begin this December, giving us three years to have every single American troop out of there. If we dont, we will be declaring war on the Iraqi government THAT WE CREATED!
