Why do you think we're overrun with Mexican hobbits? Why does the greatest port in the hemisphere and its greatest land route (Texas corridor under construction) serve Mexico? Because transport and labor is cheaper. Bypass the unions, which means more profit for the mega-corporations. That's all it is. More money for them, less money and jobs for Americans.

Let's look at history well, that once our country started becoming involved in international affairs our national pride and honor has nose-dived. We became busybodies, telling other countries how to run their own people. This causes those people to detest foreign intervention. It will be used as political fodder, which in turn, will light even more fires of anti-Americanism.

So, we can fail in Afghanistan but also gain in America: a lesson that being hypocrites doesn't do the nation good, it just breeds more hate. After we learn this, and hopefully not repeat this international intervention "push", the USA can concentrate on what really matters — rebuilding what has been rotting for decades…our schools, our way of life, our own identity.

The rest of this is smoke and mirrors..

"Edmonds further details what she had briefly discussed with me on air in June, during an interview I did with her [22] while guest hosting the nationally syndicated Mike Malloy Show, in which she had said she was aware of the “intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban … all the way up to September 11,” 2001 by certain forces in the U.S. Whatever the operations were with bin Laden — actually “‘bin Ladens’ plural” as she clarifies to Giraldi — Edmonds notes that “Marc Grossman was leading it, 100 percent” and that the U.S. was “100 percent” aware of the deal. “From Turkey,” she says, “they were putting all these bin Ladens on NATO planes. People and weapons went one way, drugs came back.”
