OK, it's official: the Obama administration is, collectively, barking mad!!!
This country is broke, economically punch-drunk from having borrowed trillions to pursue two immoral and illegal wars that can only be described so far as catastrophic in their outcomes.
The only "winners" so far in Afghanistan are the drug lords and the defense contractors.
And so far in Iraq, the biggest beneficiary of the US's invasion and occupation is...wait for it...Iran!
The US cannot ever pay back their big lenders like the Chinese.
Our infrastructure is crumbling; our educational system is failing miserably; however, that doesn't seem to concern Congress, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the White House in the least.
The American people are broke, finding increasingly that their jobs which used to make it possible for them to make payments on their mortgages and take care of their families, have been offshored.
Mortgages are now being legally and illegally being foreclosed so that the banks can recover from the securitized and bundled mortgage backed derivatives debacle. The banks win, bigtime, to get those houses on their asset sheets. And the people made homeless from these turns of events? They are simply expendable to this government.
The newly homeless and dispossessed live in quiet desperation in shantytowns all over this country, with the criminalization of homelessness becoming more and more institutionalized in many states. Look Here
What's next in this country, debtor's prisons?!? "Workhouses?"
Well, as a matter of fact, they've already made a comeback!.
With so much going catastrophically wrong in this country, do those in the bowels of power in DC believe that an open-ended quagmire in Libya will deflect the anger of Americans who are suffering from the outcomes of horrifically ill-conceived foreign and domestic policies?!?
I have an answer for those who thought it just might work as a distraction: not for one millisecond!!
