My cousin's husband has PTSD as a result


of what he experienced as a soldier in Iraq. He tried (unsuccessively thank goodness) to commit suicide last year. He has been in intensive therapy.

I will not cast a vote for anyone who should have known better than to authorize that damned war. No one will ever convince me that any of our lawmakers at the time did not know that the Bush cabal was lying about WMD. Those who voted yes did so out of political expediency, and are responsible for untold suffering.

Another cousin lost his good paying job working for Tyco in NC, and now is finally working for about half of what he was making. The reason for the job loss? It was outsourced to China.

I will not cast a vote for any candidate who votes for policies that cost Americans their jobs.

I feel bad if the cousin really did try it but DUmmies lie so much i don't know what to think.

"Outsourced to China" is becoming something hard to believe.  It still happens but most of what could be moved, has been moved.  Some companies have even realized that it was no great boon and returned work to the US.

I keep hearing about "lying about WMD" but from what I've seen WMD were found in Iraq. Naturally, it hasn't been greatly reported in the anti-George Bush media, but that doesn't make it not so.

Am I incorrect about the WMD?

The reason almost everyone believed it is because it was true. Every intel agency from our allies also said the same thing.  To think that Saddam didn't have WMDs would take an incredibly stupid or naive person.

Tyco is a growth-by-acquisition company that bought up marginally profitable companies and divisions of larger companies. They consolidate and move manufacturing where it can be done profitably. Most of that happened 10 or 15 years ago, so I wonder a bit about that part of the  :bouncy: - tale. Sometimes Tyco made a mess, sometimes it worked well, sometimes both, in that order. Regardless of the timing, re's cousin would have lost his job sooner or later, due to his plant being uncompetitive, but by moving manufacturing offshore Tyco saved both that division and at least some jobs in the US. W/O what Tyco did the whole company might have been shuttered and all jobs lost.

BTW, I've had to help work around one of the messes Tyco made, so I don't love them. I'm just trying to speak realistically.

It doesn't matter to them.  There would, literally, have to be VX casings scattered from border to border before it would rate the smallest grunt from these 'tards.

.. and they'd still spin plates to deny it.

I recall a news clip of a convoy going from Iraq to Syria.  The word was WMD convoy.  I believe the Israelis were confirming it.  After that, never a word about it.  Nothing.  The clip disappeared.
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Here's the NYT article from last October.

I'd believe the cousin's husband got PTSD from his money-grubbing dependa of a wife spending all his deplohment pay while he was deployed to Iraq, oh and he came home to a baby that wasn't his. These are DUches after all. If I had to come home to that, I'd probably have PTSD too.
