Setting the Record Straight on Iraq and Afghanistan and other Thoughts

Recently I've been hearing the anti-war lib crowd once again blame Bush for Iraq and Afghanistan thus causing their guy Obama inherited problems. I want to set the record straight and hope that some future scholar will realize what really happened and record it for posterity's sake. First of all ,during Bill Clinton's administration, members of the Iraq Liberation Front came to Clinton and asked for help in liberating their country. The intelligence then said Saddam was pursuing WMD's. Spain said he had them, Saudi Arabia said he had them, France said he had them, Germany said he had them so Clinton sent the inspectors in. We all can remember seeing over and over again on the news those same caravans of inspectors going thru Iraq. Later Clinton ordered an air war against Iraq. He later said "Maybe the air strikes got all the WMD's maybe they only got half of them, we'll never know because Saddam kicked the inspectors out."

Enter the Bush Administration and 9/11. Bush signed the Iraq Liberation Act which stated: 1) Liberate the Iraqi people 2) Overthrow Saddam Hussein 3) Search for Weapons of mass destruction 4)Make Iraq and the middle east safe for democracy.
Bush did all that,but we never found the WMD's, however we did find 50 tons of yellow cake uranium which we shipped back here which I consider a WMD and we found glider drones for dropping gas over hordes of population. But to the left, that didn't matter all they could see was Bush lied because we didn't find WMD's and the media went along for the ride. Never mind that the rape rooms have stopped, the mass graves have stopped, women can work there now and are serving in the government, children are learning about other things in their history other than jihad and how great Saddam was. We've also built roads,schools and hospitals there and brough them out of the 15th century and to the present. So the annointed one comes along and says" what's good for one country may not be good for another." Mamam Mia.

Obama's stimulus package is proving to be quite the embarassment . They are trying to say all the jobs that have been created or saved when there is no real accounting for them. They also reported all these munincipalities that received stimulus funds and now we find that those districts don't even exist.
Newsmax had an interesting article that reported on this :The report is only the latest revelation that the administration's much-ballyhooed stimulus effort has been mired in waste, poor reporting and mismanagement.
The Government Accountability Office found that almost 4,000 designated recipients who have not yet received stimulus funding reported creating or saving more than 58,000 jobs, according to The Washington Post. Another 9,200 recipients reported no job creation, despite receiving a total of $965 million. The findings demonstrate the difficulty of counting jobs the stimulus might have created.
The administration also has failed to review about 25 percent of the quarterly reports stimulus recipients have submitted, the GAO audit also says.
Some recipients have misstated job numbers, according to the audit. Others may have retained workers or hired new ones intentionally, knowing that they will receive stimulus funding in the near future. Some that already spent money are reporting zero jobs created or saved because they are applying a narrow definition for what counts as a "saved" job or because they may not be taking into account the jobs created by a subcontractor receiving funds from the recipient, the Post reported.
