Time to push Nancy’s picture down the page.
First off, I have the utmost respect for General David Petraeus, and I truly appreciate his service to our country. We need more individuals with the strength and courage to fight for our country. But….
Yesterday the General said “If you could reduce these sensational attacks further, I think you are almost approaching a level of normal or latent violence”. Somehow using the word normal after 56 people are killed, hundreds injured, all due to four woman suicide bombers just does not seem appropriate. Are we in a world where 4 people blowing themselves up is normal? Are we in a world where 56 people killed in a bomb blast is normal?
I guess some folks would argue yes, however I personally feel that it was an unwise choice of words. If we really want to get back to normal, we need to stop sending 800 billion dollars a year to the Middle East as payment for their oil. Let’s become energy independent, and reduce our dependency on a group of people that hate us.

I totally agree, I love the military, but calling what is going on over there normal sounds ridiculous.
Applause…applause! There’s plenty of people who are in agreement with needing alternatives. So why isn’t anything constructive being done about it by our governments?

Thanks for commenting Lea. I think the main reason that our government has done nothing is the lack of outrage by the citizens. We got lazy on cheap oil and a strong economy. Now we need to take action and demand solutions. Vote for all of the above!
Our government is worthless. Look what they did last week, no vote on drilling. Why?
