It's Over!!! or is this the beginning...
The people spoke, I think anyway? It is reported that way anywey....Just what a person can believe is another story, altogether. Now the blame game. I can think of many avenues to place blame, but mostly to the American people who have become so complacent, they do not know what they have done, but they will, in very short order. I believe it was John Kennedy who stated "Ask not, what your country can do for you. Ask what can you do for your country" This is going to be tried in this administration Rather than having "a chicken in every po0t" You are going to be lucky if you have a chicken to put in a pot. This reminds me of the Show" YOu asked for it." Well, America you asked for it now we will see where all this retoric will take this nation first, In the name fairness and all: its only right to redistribute what you have worked for,and, don't talk to openly because it might hurt someones feelings and we can't have that and freedom of the press well lets not let that go too far, it could infringe on someone or something, so lets curb that. By the way they will be the first ones squaking, if they see it coming with all those blinders they have been wearing..Just saying and I do ramble.........

Thank God, I will not be a party to the Agreement against our military
What is a SOFA, Status of Forces Agreement? According to Wikipedia, It is an agreement between a country and a foreign nation stationing military forces in that country. That is the agreement that currently is being negotiated between The United States and the Iraqi Government.
I am certainly not privy to the workings of our government or any other government, but as with everything that we have initiated in Iraq. Our military seems to be getting the Sh.. end of the stick again.
I recently was looking at the bottom of the screen on Fox a couple of days ago and noticed that a draft SOFA has been completed for our military remaining in Iraq. Now some people might think that this treaty is a great instrument, but I for one do not think it is the best interest of our forces being stationed there against their will in many instances.
The part that seems to stick in my craw is our military will be tried by an Iraqi Civilian Court for offenses committed outside a military base unless it is in the line of duty.
Good God people. We have been and are still in a war in that country. People get killed in a war and we always have "collateral damage. One does not just wrap it up as being a casualty of war. They hold grudges. All one has to do to see what grudges can amass between the Sunni and Shia. They are currently in the process of ridding the country of Christians. How much more of an example do we need to terminate this outrageous process.
A justice will not administer justice as we see it especially if his relatives or friends have been killed or maimed by our forces. Their laws are not the same nor justice the same as it is administered by our system. my nephew was in Saudi Arabia and hit a pedistrian while driving on a very narrow road. He was jailed and stayed there for over a year while justice worked.
I have heard horror stories which our State Department is fully aware of concerning middle eastern justice and Americans caught up in it. I say no to our Militry being made available to Middle East Justice. One such story is if you are taking a taxi and the driver hits a pedistrian, throw the money in the seat and run because it is your fault. If you hadn't hired the taxi it wouldn't have been there and the accident wouldn't have happened. I'm not saying that is the case in Iraq but I doubt if its Blackstones'definition of law.
I say NO! to any agreement whereby our military is subjected to a foreign nations laws when we are stationed there for their protection and where we have given our most precious possessions, our young men and women to die for their right to have their own courts and not killed at will by their own people....

What's happening to Oil??
I was sitting watching the morgage crisis unfold and across the screen come a statement that gas is $3.00 average price nationally. Well, I guess as one of the guests on Fox stated about the bottom dropping out of the oil crisis, a few days ago. As long as this bailout is not signed the cost of oil will drop. I would say this is good news, but what do I know? I do know that this experiment with Social Engineeering is a failure unless we do reallocate our money to fix the problem. How can anyone in their right mind say buy it. you'll like it. Makes no difference if you can't afford it. Sam will make it right. The leaders are still saying look people are losing their home. We should give them money so they will not lose their home. This is still a no brainer. Why do we give money to a problem that will not right itself. If one cannot afford a morgage payment, which they know they can't who is helping whom??? Back to the Oil...Seems like the cost of gas will continue to go down. How will this downward spiril effect this crisis??? If at all. No one is saying..

Bailout!! and the Beat goes on.
And I ask you. What exactly is happening and what are the repercussions??? I have been watching the news all day from CNN, Fox and local news programs. I have heard, Wow! This is great we are finally making sense and listening to the people. Others are saying this is Crisis and no one is doing anything. Why don't they pass this bill. I heard one person saying this was great because it will make the cost of oil to plummet. It already dropped $10.00 and it will continue to drop as long as the bailout isn't signed. Once it is the cost will again skyrocket. Others are saying people have lost their 401K's . Many people have lost everything. All Democratic Representatives who voted for the bill are blaming the Republicans for its demise. I think they should be looking at their own house and see who voted for and who voted against. It was very visible that many Democrats voted against the bill.
The powers that be should be having hearings and get people who know what to do to at least have a voice in what should be done, if anything.
"There is more than one way to skin a cat" The average individual does not know what happened and how to get us out of it and I dare say many in congress are part of the unknowing.
Where this ends I don't know, but I do know the people who were aware and got us into this mess sure as heck shouldn't be part of the solution. How can they now stand up and point fingers elsewhere and wail "We should be signing this bailout So goes politics. I think what was done today, was in our best interest and should be hail as a victory for the taxpayer because to do so without hearings is irresponsible. Now perhaps we can sit down and look at who caused this and what is the best way to address it, with the right accountants to look at the problems and submit solutions, Now is the time to come together as Americans not Republican nor Democrat nor Independents,but Americans and work toward an acceptable solution to this crisis and initiate solutions and also safeguards against individuals who cannot afford housing and other assets to be disapproved for such. I'm not an economics major, but for years I have looked at the cost of real estate and say, "Wow! I cannot undrstatnd how these families can get financed for the soaring cost of these houses..I certainly can't. Evidently, they coudn't either.
