The deluding of America
Watching CSPAN the other day, I caught the president giving one of his first campaign... I mean public addresses to the Coast Guard. A lot of things struck me as bullshit like his talk about how good the economy is doing and why we were justified into going into Iraq even though they did not present an imminent threat. I could go into those issues and more, but it wasn't those things he said that blew my mind. At one point, while blaming Iraq, Libia, Syria, etc., for the immediate threat of terrorism in this country he reminded us that, "No free nation creates weapons of mass destruction." I'm paraphrasing, but that IS what he said. My eyes went wide as I said out loud, "Uh, except America! The country we live in! The country you are the president of!"If you didn't already know, America is the largest holder of weapons of mass destruction. What types of WMD? Chemical, biological and nuclear, thats what kind. In fact, we just had a leak at a chemical weapons incinerator in AL. We're destroying them because they are old, it doesn't mean we're not making more.
I can't believe people believe what is told to them!
Am I crazy or has the whole world gone mad!

Absolutely! While in the Army, I spent time working at Ft. Rucker, Alabamba and just miles away from their Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical manufacturing facility. The map of Ft. Rucker was clear in suggesting we stay far clear of that blocked off area.
