Republican Congress create Anger and Donald Trump

One of the main reason for the anger and discontent in our society is, "people working harder and are taking home less than they did 15 years ago". Stagnant wages for the middle class while Corporations are a-wash in cash buying back stocks and paying executives enormous UN-conceivable wages.


Donald J Trump


Donald Trump says "Americans are paid too much", Donald Trump hire illegal's to work for him in his corporation, Donald Trump ships American jobs abroad at every chance he get, all Trump brand merchandise sold in stores and on the Internet are made in a foreign country by foreign workers and Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican Party Nominee, there is conflict and or confusion here!. "Is there more to the anger out there or this perceived anger is a real farce perpetuated on the American people". The truth is this any anger that exist is the product of a "do nothing Republican Congress" who were prepared to stall or wreck the US economy because the could not get 100% of what they wanted.

Rep Eric Cantor
Republicans in congress made a mockery of their constituents and some Americans convincing them they could repeal the affordable care act by voting over fifty times for repeal when they know the President would veto the legislation, this was a game to them to get re-elected wrapped in Conservative principles which really meant protect the rich.
Rep John Boehner

That was not leadership hence two prominent Republican leaders became the ultimate victim of the stupidity, first Majority Leader Rep Eric Cantor lost his seat in 2014 election and recently Rep John Boehner resigned as speaker of the house after failing to convince his republican caucus that what they were doing was not governing and they would end up hurting the Republican Party. Now here is Donald Trump a Liberal taking over as Leader of the Conservative Republican Party duly elected by fiscal conservatives, social conservatives and every other conservative stripe bringing the end of conservatism in the United states of America.

Jamaica Election 2016 - That is important, Hope!

Growing signs of Unity among Jamaica's Electorate during Election 2016

Everyone is entitled to their opinion as you said. However, you sound very negative. By the sound of it you are not even in Jamaica, so how can you speak for what is happening now as opposed to when you were here? If it is oh so good why did you leave? Food costs in Jamaica are not very different from those in America. The Price for food is only better in the $ stores or when there is a sale. I have done the comparison. 


The salary scale, on the other hand, bears no comparison and that will need to change for people to manage a bit better. The majority of Jamaicans are tired of going to the supermarket and being barely able to purchase basic necessities. They hope that the change will be for the better. That is important; HOPE. The minute there is no hope in any of the parties then all is lost. The PNP were confident that the Jamaican people liked what they were doing to us and the country based on how long we have allowed them to run the country. 
Changing Posture of Jamaica's Electorate



Most people did not vote in JLP because of the promises they made but to get a change, different perspectives for better or worst. The ruling party, whether PNP or JLP, need to be aware that they work for us and if they do not perform then goodbye.We all need to not vote at all if we are unsatisfied with the representation offered and not just vote to get a particular party in. For that matter, as a part of this wonderful democratic process, we should be able to nominate our MPs instead of those stupid die-hearted party delegates. Allegiance to a party name is stupid as the country is run by individuals. Does anyone notice how they jump from one party to the other at the drop of a hat? We are yet to see what Andrew can or cannot do. We already know what Portia can, cannot and will be doing if they continue to pressure her. Let's hope for the best for Jamaica. Patrece Lammie

Cardinal Dolan - An Hypocrite?

Cardinal Dolan New York Diocese 
Not so long ago The Catholic Church was exposed for covering up the most widespread Sexual abuse Scandal committed by its Priest. Little Boys ( alter Boys ) and other male Parishioners were sodomized on church Property, outside Church Property by its Priest. The loud mouth Cardinal Dolan who is now all over the Radio Television and teachings at Mass the Evil on Government protecting all people in The United States by ensuring that, "No Citizen is denied medical Coverage regardless of Church affiliation or where or for whom you work" Cardinal Dolan is become a Leader. Where was Cardinal Dolan during the Priest Sex Scandal? Was he a part of covering up for the abusive Priests in his Parish? How much did Cardinal Dolan know about the abuses or acts of sodomy of Boys before by his priests.

Before Cardinal Dolan continue to "hold the Government accountable for acting in the best interest of all its citizens" as is its duty, this Leader of the New York Diocese Cardinal Dolan should start holding his Flock accountable protecting little boys and male members of his flock from his Priests may Sodomize them.

Since the Priest sex Scandal The Catholic Church lost thousands of Parishioners and Cardinal Dolan know this, Churches like St Ann es in Bentwood New York is almost empty on a Sunday. The Hispanic community walked away from the Catholic church in Bentwood because they no longer trust the Catholic Church to Protect its sons.

The Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan must realize, "The Catholic Church is part of the American experience and not America a part of the Catholic Church". This is a Nation that embraces all people, Religions, Beliefs and those that do not even believe. It is the role of the Catholic Church to teach its flock their doctrines regardless of the Laws of this Country in the boundaries of religion. It is also the duty Government to enact Laws for all people of this nation Regardless of religious teachings.

When Cardinal Dolan and the Catholic Church convinces is Parishioners that Birth control methods are IMMORAL then they would have reached their objective a conversation would no longer be necessary. The truth is that, "Catholic Parishioners while they continue to respect their Church no longer find life's reality fitting into some teaching of the Church", People are evolving and the Church is way behind the people they serve.

During the Priest Sodomy Scandal the Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan had to be embarrassed into financially settling with their victims. The Church paid in the region of $2 Billion dollars to get that scandal behind them, the Catholic Church has not recovered from that experience. If Cardinal Dolan think taking on the government on Birth Control is a way revive the Church he is so wrong. 98% of Catholic Women already us contraceptive for birth Control or other medical reasons. 

"If Cardinal Dolan and his Catholic Church continue its fight with Government on basic women's health care the Church will further its isolation from the Community started during the Priest Sodomy Scandal".

Dick Cheney Food Stamp hypocrisy

Who Get Food Stamp

Dick Cheney said the president “would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops”. Cheney accused  the Obama administration Monday over proposed military spending cuts, insisting that budget cuts would be “absolutely devastating” to the U.S. military and accusing Pres. Barack Obama of preferring welfare to military spending.
Food Stamp Use by State


Dick Cheney is not the first Republican to criticize President Obama over rising food stamp spending, but the Bush Cheney administration oversaw significant growth in enrollment in the food stamp program as well. The number of Americans on food stamps grew by 14.1 million during first five years of Obama’s presidency (2009-2013). When Dick Cheney and George Bush was in office, the number grew by 16.2 million (2001-2009).

Republican war on Women, Uncle Sugar

Republicans have grave difficulty speaking about women issues from Rape, abortion, birth control the woman's role in the society and now Gov. Mike Huckabee discussing the woman's Libido. The fact is when Republicans discuss these issues concerning women it is done by men who do not know or  have not in the past shown sensitivity to the women's need and have blocked the growing influence of women in our society.


Gov. Mike Huckabee

Democrats, Mike Huckabee said, see women as “helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication" because they "cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government."

 “It’s time for Republicans to no longer accept listening to Democrats talk about a war on women," Mike Huckabee continued, "Because the fact is, the Republicans don’t have a war on women. They have a war for women. For them to be empowered; to be something other than victims of their gender.

"Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication," he continued. "Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war on them, it’s a war for them.

Nine years ago, as Governor Mike Huckabee thought that the government should ensure that everyone had access to contraception.

"And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it," he said. "Let’s take that discussion all across America because women are far more than Democrats have made them to be. And women across America have to stand up and say, 'Enough of that nonsense.'”

Note
 In 2005, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee signed a law mandating Arkansas insurance plans provide contraception coverage, including church-affiliated organizations such as hospitals and universities.

Republican Joshua Black

Joshua Black
“I’m past impeachment,” Joshua Black, who is also African American, tweeted on Monday Dr Martin Luther King day. “It’s time to arrest and hang him high.” “I make no apologies for saying that President Obama is not above the People,” he added in his post. “If ordinary Americans should be executed for treason, so should he.”

This Tea Party Republican like most Tea Party Republicans are loud, they have the habit of using words and phrases loosely and in the case of this candidate for the Florida House of representatives Joshua Black have no sense of history. Mr. Black would be well served taking a car ride up to Mississippi find a white family and ask, what does it mean to "hang him high" he should then sit and listen for however long it takes.

Shopping Deals, Employees then Consumers

Employees then Consumers 
 Consumers needed and no longer excited by "shopping deals".
Retailers must understand their employees are also their customers, no longer does the middle class have disposable income to support the excesses of the recent past, shoppers are now more sophisticated and conscious while spending money and narrowing it to only where

Businesses are aware of about 80% of the dollars in the economy daily, weekly and those dollar's are now only meeting the bare essentials of the consumer especially with the price of food and travel accounting for almost 60% of each paycheck there is now a different consumer one driven by meeting daily essentials rather than shopping deals that does not help the family or meet an immediate need.

That different consumer is also the result of the excesses of the past where credit was abused by consumer as well as businesses and came to a crashing head in 2008-2009 with especially the effects of the housing market. There is always the notion that as soon as things get better human beings return to their old habits in this case the fears that consumers face and reality of families loosing their homes have had some effect on the physic American consumer and things are changing shopping deals are no longer good deals.

The failure of Business in the past to acknowledge that its their employees who actively run their business is a seething factor, companies ask for loyalty but become less loyal to its employees every day while asking work harder without additional compensation. These factors are borne out in the recent and continued Job Actions by Walmart employees and other Retail workers, the silence of Big Business to the plight of workers and workers advocate is disrespectful and does not help to allay the fears of workers who business depend on for their success everyday.

"AFFORDABLE CARE ACT Changing the Game for Ordinary AMERICANS"

Affordable Care Act

To put things in proper perspective, some Political Representatives are afraid that the "affordable Care Act Obama Care" will work and make Americans healthy over time then insurance companies will no longer be able to exploit them raising rates at will while unable to drop people with pre-existing conditions.

Americans with the ACA or "Obama Care" will have a choice and no longer have to stay in dead end low paying Jobs like Walmart Stores and other employers who see their underpaid workers as their way to maintaining wealth.

Americans with aspirations and goals can now pursue then knowing that their health insurance will always be there for them and no longer threatened by a loss of employment, a peace of mind never enjoyed by American's before. Middle aged Americans with skills and Training who have been cut out of the Economy by technology and business consolidation and end up working at low paying Jobs like a Greeter at "Walmart Stores" for $8.75per hour to maintain, "Junk Health Insurance" now have a choice. By purchasing health Insurance through "Obama Care, the Affordable Care Act" these American's can now move on and pursue other dreams like starting their own new business taking risks and helping a always grateful Nation. .

Would you believe that this is what all this fuss is all about, "Americans having health Care no one can take away from them"? The Affordable Care Act is changing the Game for ordinary Americans putting them in the drivers seat and "Corporate America" is scared.

Dr Ben Carson

Dr Ben Carson

A son of slavery declare Obamacare is slavery, do you agree? 


Benjamin Solomon "BenCarson, Sr., (born September 18, 1951) is a retired American neurosurgeon. Among other surgical innovations, Carson did pioneering work on the successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the head. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008. After delivering a widely publicized speech at the February 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, he became a popular figure in conservative media for his views on social issues and the government's role in the health care industry.

Dr. Ben Carson didn't mince words: Obamacare is “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.” “It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government,” he said. “It was never about health care. It was about control.” Is it having control over your health care that Insurance companies cannot deny you coverage as a result of a pre-existing condition.

 When he was eight years old, his parents divorced and he was raised by his mother along with his 10 year old brother Curtis. He struggled throughout elementary school both academically and emotionally with his temper.

Ben Carson Prostate Cancer Pre-existing condition


In June 2002, Dr Ben Carson cut back on his public appearances when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He still operated on more than 300 children a year, but tried to shorten his work days: prior to his cancer he used to work from 7:00 in the morning until 8:00 at night.

Dr Carson has identified himself as being independent of any political party. "If I were part of one, it would be called the 'Logic party,' and it would be dedicated to commonsense approaches we all should be able to see." This would include "recognizing that our debt is so great we have got to stop digging the hole and spend less." Despite largely expressing conservative viewpoints in his National Prayer Breakfast speech, Dr Carson has also expressed some views at odds with conservatives, such as supporting banning semi-automatic weapons in cities

Is the 4-h Club dying?

By 2020 the Jamaica 4-H Clubs will become the leading youth leadership organization in the Caribbean.


The goal of 4-H Club is to develop citizenship, foster youth leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth development approach. Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization as a result of its history, 4-H Club today focuses on citizenship, healthy living, science, engineering, and technology programs

The foundations of 4-H Club began around the start of the twentieth century, with the work of several people in different parts of the United States. The focal point of 4-H Club has been the idea of practical mentoring programs for youth and hands-on learning, which came from the desire to make public school education more connected to rural life. Early programs tied both public and private resources together to benefit rural youth.

The 4-H Club  program aims to educate youth in arts and sciences and encourage fellowship through,community youth programs and service opportunities. With continued urban sprawl, 4-H Clubs continues to develop new projects like life skills for youth for its members well beyond the traditional agriculture, animal husbandry,  photography, conservation, cooking, public speaking, sports shooting , history, art, leadership program for youth and other life skills.


4-h membership hit an all-time high in 1974 as a result of its popular educational program about nutrition, Mulligan Stew, shown in schools and on television across the country. Today, 4-h clubs and activities are no longer focused primarily on agricultural activities, instead emphasizing personal growth and preparation for lifelong learning. Participation is greatest during the elementary school years, with enrollment in programs and activities peaking in the 4th grade.

The 4-H Pledge

"I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world."

The Jamaica 4-H Clubs is now in its 73rd year of existence and over that time we have distinguished ourselves as an organization to be reckoned with. Our reputation and our proven track record in training the nation’s youth is a standard not to be taken lightly. At this juncture, there has been a change of the guard in terms of leadership. On May 1, 2013 the mantle was transferred to me, so I have taken up the task of standard bearer. It is a task that I am deeply honored to receive and I humbly accept.

The OCCUPY Movement 99% is waiting!

No victory for Occupy yet!


We can succeed only by concert. It is not,"Can you imagine better?" but "Can we all do better?" Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs, "Can we do better?". The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must dis-enthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. Every victory comes with sacrifice, What is your sacrifice

Occupy wall Street is about the future!


While the Mayor New York changed the Law to get himself elected for a third term the mayor filled with his own hypocrisy has become the Prime supporter of the 1% him being a member of the one percent himself. How much have things changed for Mayor














The Occupy Movement  is about Fairness, Not Grudge!



95 percent of all Americans work for someone in the last 30 years the salary's and benefits of the top 1% has seen their income rise by 275%- 305% .in easy to understand language any  who valued  million Dollars thirty years ago is now 300 Million Dollars notwithstanding all the negative effects on our Economy.

Walmart among the 99%


Most Walmart workers are only able to work in their store because they get benefit like medicaid and food stamps from the Government, essencially the Government is now paying health care and food walmart for Walmart workers. One member of the walmart family earm more than 62 million americans last year with their wealth stached in a Bank accounts in a foreign countries and taxpayers pay for their workers healthcare and food.

Factoring in what taxpayers contribute for public programs, the report estimated that one Wal-Mart supercenter employing 300 workers could cost taxpayers at least $904,000 annually.

At the end of 2012, there were 3,216 Wal-Mart employees who were enrolled in Wisconsin public health care programs, more than any other employer. Add in the dependents of Wal-Mart workers and the total jumps up to 9,207.

"Walmart a Job Creator or a corporate welfare recipient".

Senator Mitch McConnell a Failure.

 “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.” McConnell confirmed.


Senator McConnell, I failed to stop Obama.

The one Job I undertook for 4 years I failed at it, to filibuster legislation in the senate is easy I have 46 other republicans to do that for me, I promised to make President Obama a one term President and I failed. Now my promise is to make the American peoples life hell under this President they are the ones who voted for him. No legislation will pass through the senate even the ones I support in practice and I know will help the American people and  Kentucky.

This President must be punished for his success, killing Osama Bin-laden, who dare him to make such a gutsy call even when the military told him of the risk involved, who does he think he is Churchill?. Although we conservative  led by our Governors have tried to stop the economic recovery by laying off State and local Government workers all over the country creating large surplus in State and local Governments Budgets to strangle the job growth, my God the Obama recovery continues. That attorney General Holder blocking every effort Republicans make to suppress the vote in the November 2012 election he will be punished, that will be House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa job to bring him down.    

Those bastards on wall street they promise to hold the reins on the recovery in 2012 so that republicans could win but Greed, wall street greed took over and the stock markets grew leap and bounds they lose all that money they gave us but those wall street bastards didn't mind because they made a lot of money under Obama. Its sad I will still have to support the Banks legislation in congress to kill the Dodd-Frank Bill although I know the Dodd- Frank bill is good for consumers the country and the people in Kentucky. (looking out for my friends in business there is where my bread is buttered need the contributions to finance my re-election campaign). No wonder wall street didn't care about the GOP in 2012, the markets made more money under this Barack Obama Presidency than any other administration in the past.

I know the Banks and broader market is doing fine making money under this President Obama, the problem is those Greedy Bastards on wall street do not want to pay taxes and if the Markets crash again they do not want to be held accountable. Those wall street people do not like regulations although most regulations are good protecting Americans especially the people of Kentucky. I know good regulations could have prevented some of the abuse that brought the market down and prevented the hell the people of Kentucky suffered with foreclosure and loss of employment. I know that! but that's not where my party is right now, I have election next year and I don't want to get primaried, the Tea Party is right over my shoulder.      

Senator Republican Leader Mich McConnell pledged, "My only Job for the next 2 years is to ensure the President is defeated" and here we are no Job Growth and the Economy us close to a double Dip Recession. Over the past 2 Years The Senator and his Republican Cohorts did everything they could Blocking Legislation, rejecting efforts to Stimulate the Economy, refusing to raise the death ceiling, have their Republican Governors in their various States lay off Public sector workers while giving tax break to election campaign donors.

During the recession companies especially in retail have shed enormous number of workers due to increased technology in the workplace. These Jobs are not coming back, Companies Productivity levels are at their highest levels ever and their profits is the highest ever. Hourly paid workers are receiving the worst pay in the past 40 years CEO's salary are the best in history.

"Stage III cancer of socialism"

Todd Aiken - Stage 111 Cancer of Socialism
"Most successful industrialized Countries including Israel, India and Germany have pulled themselves ahead the United States in education and training. These Countries they have not allowed their Students to be saddled by Loans and other Debts  rather subsidized their Education up to a first Degree in return for voluntary service".  In America some Politicians advocate students Education should become Pawns of of the Banks before they earn a penny in their profession". 

President Obama removed a part of this extra financial obligation by taking away the Student Loan disbursement from the Banks saving Students $6 Billion Dollars in interest and fees. These actions were seen as a Negative by some Elements of the Republican Party including Representative Todd Aiken referring to the move as, "Stage III cancer of socialism"  as a result of the Presidents action more than 7.4 million students currently hold affordable student loans at a 3.4 percent interest rate.
Rep Todd Akin compared student loans to Stage III cancer: "America has got the equivalent of the Stage III cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in. So, first to answer your question precisely. What the democrats did to get rid of the private student loans and take it all over by the government was wrong. It was a lousy bill. That's why I voted no. The government needs to get its nose out of the education business."

"The Banks should be allowed to participate in students Loan but their rates should be reasonable and affordable. Like the Government the Private sector has a role to play in the Education of our Students and that does not include unreasonable Loan Rates and fees saddling them with long term debts to enrich themselves".

Trampoline

8 Pole Kids Trampoline Enclosure Set to Fit 10 Feet Trampoline Frames with set of 4 or 8 W-Shaped Legs (Trampoline Not Included) Click Here

The first modern Trampoline was built by George Nissen and Larry Griswold in 1936. Nissen was a gymnastics and diving competitor and Griswold was a tumbler on the gymnastics team, both at the University of Iowa, USA. They had observed trapeze artists using a tight net to add entertainment value to their performance and experimented by stretching a piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, to an angle iron frame by means of coiled springs. It was initially used to train tumblers but soon became popular in its own right. Nissen explained that the name came from the Spanish trampolín, meaning a diving board. George Nissen had heard the word on a demonstration tour in Mexico in the late 1930's and decided to use an anglicized form as the trademark for the apparatus.
In 1942, Griswold and Nissen created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company, and began making trampolines commercially in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Trampoline as Sport
The competitive gymnastic sport of trampolining has been part of the Olympic Games since 2000. On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to 10 meters (33 ft), performing multiple somersaults and twists. Trampolines also feature in the competitive sport of Slamball, a variant of basketball, and Toss a ball, a variant of volleyball.

Safe use of the Trampoline

Family-oriented commercial areas in North America such as shopping centers, carnivals, and so on, often include closed inflatable trampolines (CITs) as a children's attraction. These have safety nets on the sides to prevent injuries.
Using a Trampoline can be dangerous, and in organized clubs and gyms there are usually large safety end-decks with foam pads at each end and spotters placed alongside the trampoline to try to break the fall of any athlete who loses control and falls. The majority of injuries occur on privately owned home trampolines. Bouncing off a trampoline can result in a fall of 3–4 meters (10–13 ft) from the peak of a bounce to the ground or a fall into the suspension springs and frame.


Are AMERICAN lives expendable to GUN RIGHT?

Lives Expendable to protect Gun Rights

The lives of 6 adult  were snuffed out at the end of a 20 year old shooter, reports are the guns used were owned by the shooters mother, probably a lifetime member of the NRA the organisation representing that having guns no matter how many bullets they carry should be in the hands of every citizen it is our right. 

The other five adult is yet to be determined what their position on the right to bear harm stand. Mental illness is again used as an excuse for these killings, exactly where the NRA want this conversation to take place. Did I also mention 20 Babies were also killed even then only 53% of Americans support legislation to control automatic weapons while 87% support the right to bear arms!

“In his first term,” Mr. Romney said, “ we've seen the president try to browbeat the Supreme Court. In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. That must not happen.”

Mr. Romney, who was introduced by his wife, Ann, received a standing ovation after his speech, though in the cavernous downtown dome where audience members filled only the floor, not the stands, the sound was subdued.

Drumbeat to war!, we will be greeted as liberators. Dick Cheney

Q: Do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?. 


We will be greeted as liberators.

Q: Mr. Russert: If your analysis is not correct, and we're not treated as liberators, but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?

Vice President CheneyI don't think it's likely to unfold that way, Tim (Tim Russert), because, I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators. I've talked with a lot of Iraqis in the last several months myself, had them to the White House. The president (President George W Bush)and I have met with them, various groups and individuals, people who have devoted their lives from the outside to trying to change things inside Iraq. And like Kanan Makiya who's a professor at Brandeis, but an Iraqi, he's written great books about the subject, knows the country intimately, and is a part of the democratic opposition and resistance. 

The read we get on the people of Iraq is there is no question but what they want to the get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that.

The reality of it all is Vice President Richard Cheney and President George W Bush could not have been more wrong. The answers Dick Cheney gave to Tim Russert were later proven to be figments of Dick Cheney's imagination on the Drumbeat to war in Iraq. The interview with Dick Cheney by Tim Russert was one of few serious penetrating inquisition by the press truly examining the consequences if the prediction my the Bush administration turn sour and they did.

 A total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012, The war has killed at least 134,000 Iraqi civilians and may have contributed to the deaths of as many as four times that number, according to the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University.

The U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest
