Did it Work?

President Obama in his weekly address praised soldiers today.

I ask myself; less than ten men killed over three thousand, in 9/11. Then around five thousand Americans died in the Middle East, together with one hundred thousand Iraqis.

I am sorry; these numbers are crazy, the US Government has gone mad.

Ms. Sheehan has it right:

``And for those who have suffered deep loss, like the relatives of the 4,400 Americans or the many more Iraqis who died, the notion of victory or defeat can feel remote. “Well, first of all, my family lost in a big way,” said Cindy Sheehan, who became perhaps the nation’s most prominent antiwar activist after her son died in Iraq. “We had one of our cherished members, Casey, murdered by the U.S. empire in Iraq.”

In her view, “the only winners have been Halliburton, KBR, CACI, Xe, Unocal, BP, Standard Oil, Boeing” and other corporations that profited from the war. “People here in the U.S. who don’t know that they lost have lost big time,” she said.''
