A MATTER OF COMPETENCE

Why is it that public opinion is so against the war, is it because: the war is wrong, the war has been mismanaged, the population was never enlisted in the cause, we were lied to by the administration? I think that all of these reasons are responsible for the publics opposition to the war in Iraq.

All of this leads me to the conclusion that this is the most incompetent administration in history. At the very least the administration should have enlisted the population in the war effort, instead they carried on as usual, encouraging the population to go about its everyday business as if there were no reasons for sacrifice on the part of anyone except for those poor souls who are being wounded and killed in the administration's so-called war on terror. Note that they tried to short change the troops both with equipment in the field and medical care after they were wounded.

They keep shouting that if we don't fight them there, they will follow us home. Yet, they refuse to secure our boarders and ports of entry. They hold our security hostage for their so called immigration reform which is just a free pass for their big business buddies. They require passports for entry into the country for US citizens, but they can't anticipate the rush for new passports. Consequently, it now takes as long as 4 months to get a passport. Now they have to delay the implementation of the passport requirement. What idiots.

Why all of this incompetence? One reason is becoming apparent, they have populated their administration with political hacks who meet the one criterion for a job, political purity. This is becoming apparent in the Justice Dept., where their hacks hired lawyers for career positions on the basis of Republican loyalty. This is clearly illegal.

Is all of this evidence for incompetence? Yes, but it is also evidence of something else, pure evil! These people are attempting to set up a Fascist state of one party rule. They repeatedly violate the Constitution and our laws in the name of National Security. They believe that money is more important than our citizens, instead of one person one vote the Republicans believe in one dollar one vote. Unfortunately the Democrats seem to believe the same thing. Bush and his cronies will not be satisfied until we are a nation of slaves. In fact I believe that if the current day Republicans were in office during the period leading up to the Civil War, that we would still have slavery. Lincoln must be turning in his grave.
