Iraq Marks Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Cities













The United States finally received its flowers from Iraqi citizens. We were told that American Military would be greeted with flowers upon invading the country but only received snipers, roadside bombs and suicide bombers. Before George Bush left office he singed an agreement that U.S. forces would pull back out of Iraq's cities on this day. This day has become an Iraqi holiday and has spurred multiple celebrations all day and night long.

The U.S. Military will still provide support when needed but this will go down as a great day as Iraq will begin to stand owns her own. Hopefully without a puppet government.

Dick Cheney has been seen in multiple instances saying that this pull back will lead to more violence and death. How much more violent can Iraq get? He blames Obama for this pull back. Unfortunate for him it was his administration that signed the agreement that allowed this to happen. Hoping that it turns out bad is not only like shooting your friend in the face, it's bordering treason (maybe not but it sounds good).

Secretary of State Needs Health Care - Do You?

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton falls and injures her elbow. She goes to the hospital and is seen right away (I have waited for many hours). Can you do that? She is scheduled for surgery and will get it when she wants it. How much of the bill will she have to pay? Will she get the best of care? I'm not hating on her, I just think we all should have such health care. She she fought for such health care for all it in the 90's but was defeated by the same people who oppose the proposition today. Ironically we are here once again. The United States is the only country in the free world that allows companies to make a profit on primary medical care for it's citizens. Just think about that for a moment! Profit means denial of care in my book. As we try to take better care of ourselves I always believe there must be a better way to get care when you need it.
