Iraq, Gold Stars, Ohio's Coingate

Secretary of State Rice was in Egypt recently and she said that our stay in Iraq will be "generational." I believe that when one refers to a "generation" that it means approximately 20-25 years. When will this administration stop lying? Rumsfeld said we'd be in Iraq six months. Wolfowitz said it was a slam dunk. Now they are saying our troops will be needed for a generation? What is the truth?

There is an organization called Gold Star Families for Peace. These people have lost family members in the war in Iraq. http://www.gsfp.org/ Their goal is to end our occupation of Iraq because they say that the war in Iraq was based on lies.

There was a great story in a local paper concerning the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation scandal.
http://www.theotherpaper.com/ As you may have heard, the dimwits in Gov. Taft's administration gave money to a GOP coin dealer and some firm in Pittsburgh for investment purposes. Unfortunately, both enterprises lost HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS that was to be used to take care of Ohio's sick and injured workers. Obviously, the idiots in Taft's administration did not take classes in ethics in business. http://www.theotherpaper.com/cover.html
