31 AUG 2010, Tuuesay (Part 2)

• For the President's address...I was initially impressed.  But, then he launched into an economic discussion in a speech that was supposed to be focused on military conflict / objectives.
• I don't get it.  But...then again, I'm one of the naive, apparently. 
• Even with the cost of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. military spending is still near historic lows (as a percentage of GDP less, than what we averaged during the Cold War).  Is this the "peace initiative" that the Administration is hoping to find savings to fund their socialist agenda (ie. healthcare expansion)???
• Sooo...I still don't know what this Administration stands for clearly.
• "I voted against the surge in Iraq led by General Patraeus but then I supported a surge in Afghanistan led by General Patraeus."  C'mon...what is your opinion?  For real?
• Which should we believe in?  Which is true???
• I'm personally glad that I'm no longer in the military and left wondering as the politicians swing in the breeze.
• God bless our men and women serving...their's is the toughest job dealing with these political uncertainties.
