What is this 'Iraq war' charge on my bill?

submitted by Trancecoach

1 decade 5 years 12 months ago

Robert Greenwald & Brave New Films writeup regarding the description of this series of videos:

"Since we first released "The Real McCain" a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain's record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media's love of McCain. And so we thought it was high time for a sequel: 'The Real McCain 2.'"

hmmm... which candidate is the ONLY candidate that promises to pull our troops out IMMEDIATELY? That would be Ron Paul.

Excellent post.

Great.

Wow, Ron Paul has logistical powers beyond what ordinary physics would seem to allow.

You would think he'd have won his party's nomination with that kind of organizational fortitude.

Jabs aside, both Democratic candidates have committed to beginning a withdrawal immediately, which is really as good as it gets.

That said, if it were Ron Paul against Obama I'd have to actually think about who to vote for. If it were Ron Paul against Hillary, I'd almost certainly vote for Ron Paul.

As it is, Ron Paul supporters should all be lining up behind Obama. He's more of a true libertarian-conservative than McCain.

I understand where you're coming from however I don't think I fully trust Cheney's cousin/CFR member Obama. Someone that freely throws out nondescriptive keywords like "Hope" and "Change" that rally general support of the masses. Both Obama and Clinton have stated that we will most likely be in this conflict well past their first term and Iran war options are not off the table. Ron Paul would "start" pulling troops immediately... and I'll bet that his logistical planning would be faster than the others.

As for why Ron Paul is not the nominee.. well you have the neocons in power in the decision making process on the conservative side to thank for that... they don't hold true conservative values.. it's as if the party has been hijacked. Don't think that the same hasn't happened to the Democrat side either... as I've said before.. some kids put their hands in all the cookie jars.

Has the war really cost "the average American family $16,000"???
Seems too high...
I kinda wish videos were required to cite their sources
