Iraq Who?

Just because more people will read if I have a picture:




Just an interesting thought.

Do you remember how much the Iraq War was talked about from 2002 to 2008. Isn't it interesting that we haven't hardly heard one thing about it since Obama became president? It was even a hot topic in the election. In Obama's run for president he made huge promises about bringing the troops home by specific dates even. Obama hasn't brought anymore home than Bush would have.

Sure the economy is the main topic of discussion, but surely some mention of the war would be consistent with the coverage it's gotten in the past. Somehow, health care reform has been pushed forward as the new hot topic behind the economic crisis. Which is interesting given that our current 'depression' (as it was termed so quickly during the election, but not so much anymore) makes it so we have NO money for any of the health care reform that Obama is pushing (literally pushing). Bringing the troops home and ending the war would do more to help our economy than reforming health care. It just doesn't make sense.

There has been no push to bring the troops home during 2009 and no talk of the war in the media. Interesting how it's easy to talk the talk.
