Failed Bridges & Failed Presidents

(Photograph)http://worldwide-sawdust.com/BaghdadBridge.jpg

What link is there between the two bridges in the pictures above? The one on the top is the bridge that crosses the Mississippi in Minneapolis that suddenly collapsed, the other is a bridge that crosses the Tigris in Baghdad. What is the link you ask? Failure of leadership is the link.

Our government is going heavily into debt yet that debt isn't even being spent on "capital", on the infrastructure needed to maintain and build the future economy, it is being wasted on a war. A war that was predicted to turn out the way it did but a prediction that leadership ignored in their planning because they didn't like it. While we are distracted, losing our young and creative and our treasury to a pointless war of choice, others gather their strength (1,2,3).

The enemies of America have placed a mole in our midst. This mole's actions have lead what was the world's only superpower to the edge of failure. May George W. Bush go down in infamy. He is not pro-American in any sense.

Afghanistan: Bomber Attack

It is odd that photos and video shot at the scene were deleted. The statement that special forces might have been involved brings these actions into some clarity since they likely would have not wanted evidence of their being there.

The caption for the above photo underlies the problems we face, even when being an invading force for good. That man, after a suicide bomber attacked a us convoy, is shouting anti-American slogans (though it was left unclear who killed the 8 afghans.)

KABUL, Afghanistan -- A suicide car bomber attacked an American convoy in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, and up to eight Afghans were killed and 22 injured in the blast or by subsequent gunfire from militants or U.S. soldiers, officials said.

U.S. soldiers at the scene deleted photos taken by a freelance photographer working for The Associated Press and video taken by a freelancer working for AP Television News. Neither the photographer nor the cameraman witnessed the suicide attack or the subsequent gunfire.
