First off, to answer you Kirkland Jimmy Carter started the ball rolling with his "good though but a dumb idea" approach of getting the government to force banks to make loans to "poor people" for them to get houses. Bill Clinton upped the ammounts the banks had to loan out and then W as you drone on and on and on about went out deregulated a few things here and there and BAM we've got a full blown catastrophe made even worse by Obama creating TARP which has done next to nothing for actual "Troubled Asset Relief"

Iraq Body Count

It's a shame that US soliders have been killed but please don't ask me to care more for your losses when hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civillians have been killed.
Missy, I like you and all but I have to be honest, I'm livid with your views on this thread, I guess it'll just take a few more of your fellow innocent civilians to be massacred in the streets to wake you up? What do these evil bastards have to do to get on your "fighting side" or are you people just too PC to have a fighting side anymore?

Why did those civilians die? Because the enemy hides with them, the enemy kills them if they squeal on them, and the enemy just may kill them for the hell of it...it is NOT the policy of the US Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Force to blindly kill innocent civilians and if it was this war would have been over a LOOOONG time ago
