Nobody asked, and I have to wonder why....

They started building a wal-mart super center here in Bakersfield sometime ago, and the building is done. But due to environmental impact studies, it was halted and denied.
And so I sit here wondering tonight, if we can ask for and get tons of pages of an impact study over a wal-wart, why didn't anyone ask about the impact of the Iraq war before it was approved?
Tons of bombs, fuel for planes, massive death of people who posed us no threat, and yet congress did not ask for an impact study of any type before they approved bush being able to go to war.
Why is it we can worry about the impact of store and spend a ton of time asking them for answers as to how it might impact a locale but our leaders just glance over something which will run our fuel prices through the roof (how much gas is being used for this war?), pollute the land, kill thousands upon thousands, and injure many times more than that?
Nobody asked for a plan or it's impact. They just approved it.
A war.
It didn't just affect a local economy, it has affected our national economy and the lives of people in another country.
And yet, we have made it harder for a store to open than for our government to go to war with a country that was not even able to attack us.
Nobody asked, and I have to wonder why....

If an impact study was conducted before a war, the enemy would seize upon that and strike at us before we fire the first shot. Good god you DUmmies are Dumb. :thatsright:

There actually was an environmental impact study and it found that in 25 years time after the invasion of Iraq, all DUmmies in America would become extinct. So, of course, we went ahead and invaded.
There was some initial resistance from the Cheetos lobby, but eventually, even they came 'round and saw the light. A world without DUmmies! All Joy and Light!

For people who whine abut the hidden health effects of the 9/11 attacks so-much-so that Michael Moore-on had to illegally visit Koo-bah we are left to wonder why their outrage is so selective on the issue of envirnomental impact.

Anything that Republicans (not just conservatives) do = bad
Anything that Democrats do (even if it is bad) = good
