Bush has created a mess in Iraq

Bush and Cheney sure made a mess in Iraq -- billions of dollars squandered, a huge U.S. embassy built that costs a fortune. What is it going to be called -- Bush's second home? Innocent people getting killed, U.S. pays compensation to families of civilians killed or to cover property damage.

No wonder Bush needs so much money. The people and government of Iraq should run their own country. Why is Blackwater still there? Their contract expired in June 2006. On the home front, our borders are not protected from illegals; the border patrol was cut in half; the fence is not even half finished. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox wants legal Mexicans in the U.S. to keep their Mexican citizenship, so who will they be loyal to? U.S. or Mexico?

Our economy stinks, food prices up, heating bills going up, government wants taxes on many things. The worst is our real estate taxes on our homes. How many more recalls are we going to get for imports from China? That's what happens when greedy corporations in America give China all our factories and businesses.
