I missed President Obama's speech last evening but have been treated to the usual snippets, sound bites and pontifications by Talking Heads, so I can only speak from third or fourth hand.
But no matter, that sort of thing never stopped me from sounding off.
Here's my response to the speech I did not hear but heard all about.
How many troops are remaining in Iraq? And what are we now naming them? And what does "Enduring Peace" mean? And how many privateers are being sent to Iraq to replace our returning forces? And how big is our US Embassy in Bagdad, in total acres? With shopping malls and some 28,000 inhabitants? And how many other military bases around Iraq are we maintaining? And how do we plan to continue maintaining them when we finally "really and truly leave" Iraq? And most of all Mister President Obama, how many dollars are you redirecting to our American People toward the mighty task of rebuilding America?
Talk all you want. Let the muddling media blabber all they want. Just show us the bottom line. Please.
