You are sooooo right!
I have said this often on here. The anti UHC brigade are fighting tooth and nail to stop every American recieving good healthcare in a UHC yet pay every month in their taxes for Iraq to get healthcare for it's people.
This is insane.
One would think that Obama would have stopped this by now. Is there a possibility that what we paid for in Iraq isn't exactly what he wants us to pay for here? I think that is a distinct possibility.
My, my using something over 5 years old to stir up the progs. How low can you go.
I didn't remember Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield promoting the funding of a UHC system for Iraq 5 years ago... did you? What can I say, I've forgotten things over the years.
And, since it's such a hot issue now with UHC and single payer get all sorts of flack from Armey, McCaughey, and others on the right, don't you think it's kind of ironic that those same folks thought it was ok to invest US $ on such a "poor" system for Iraq when obviously it's so inferior to what we have currently?
And actually, if it's working for Iraq... why stop it? And if it isn't working, why isn't it working? But, I don't think it matters one way or the other now. I don't think Obama has any say in it, appears to be Iraq's baby now and if there is a problem, they have to deal with it, not us.

I'm thinking this post has something to do with bombing of the USS Cole, how about you? < Ha!
What about that war in Iraq, how's it going? Or do we call that something else these days? Tell me something current, would ya.
The war in Iraq was called Operation Iraq Liberation at first but somebody figured out that spells OIL so they changed it to Operation Desert Storm and then to Operation Mission Accomplished and now Operation We Don't Know When The Hell We Are Leaving.
Of course the Iraqis simply call it "The War Of Western Aggression"

The question is why do you let the Republicans play you like a fiddle?
