Why are we sending someone like Warrant Officer Margaret Murray, who describes herself as "over 50," 4-foot-10, 95 pounds to Iraq? And she is one of about 4,400 Army soldiers between the ages of 24 to 62, from the Individual Ready Reserve who completed their active duty service but have been notified they must get back in uniform. Most likely, they are headed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Why out of 535 members of Congress, eight have sons in the military, three of whom have been deployed to Iraq?
Why is it that Rush Limbaugh, who supports this war with a vengeance with chest thumping cheerleading, not once been to Iraq to "support our troops", while his counterpart, Al Franken, who did not support this administration's call to war, travel there at least once to entertain the troops?
Why, after the abuses at Abu Ghraib, do we appoint Alberto R. Gonzales as attorney general, the guy who basically justified the abuses and all but dismissed the Geneva Convention?
Why do the millions of dedicated supporters of President Bush, in the face of a dwindling military, not join the action and enlist? Put your actions where your mouth is. Talk is cheap. It really does take more than a magnetic ribbon on your car to support our troops.
Why is Halliburton still the major contractor doing business in Iraq after all the charges that have been brought against them? Most recently Halliburton's KBR subsidiary "did not effectively manage government property" and auditors could not locate hundreds of Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) items worth millions of dollars in Iraq and Kuwait this summer and fall, as reported to Congress by Inspector General Stuart W. Bowen.
Why does this administration still deny that global warming and other environmental issues are not a problem even when faced with facts proving that it is?
JUST WONDERING?

Nice blog. I've stopped asking Why but more like When? When will America wake up from its slumber? When will Americans realize their soul and conscious has been sold and blundered by the Republicans who masquerade behind the curtain of "Moral Values"? When will Americans realize they should be ashamed of themselves for being fooled into another 4 more years?
