Hell.. that all you actually found??? There is definately some "lacking" someplace! I found this lot in a fraction of the time you took just to "sumarise" "three facts" - but you still have not even addressed them - but continue with "excuses" as to why everything is "different" and not as portrayed by the "factual reports". Otherwise.. what is the point you are trying to make??? Man you are a joke!
It was enjoyable, but hell... toooooo much!!!
(a) 41% of US think Weapons of Mass Destrution has been found in Iraq or were "unsure".
(b) 31% think Iraq had used chemical or biological weapons during the war - or were "unsure".
(c) 60% think those weapons were the main reason for the invasion.
(d) 19% thought the reason for war was because is was "Iraq's ties to al-Qaeda.
(e) 20% thought the war was "due to the fact that Hussein was an oppressive dictator".
Finally, based on the "knowledge" portrayed above, 75% said the US president was "showing strong leadership in Iraq"
Sheesh... makes me sadder each day at the thought they have less clues than I gave em credit for ....
As for the US going "bust"? Hell, even your own treasury spent a long enough time compiling the most comprehensive report yet on the US economy.
This boiled down to a chronic federal deficit budget totalling $44 billion in current US dollars.
For simplcity... that converts to:
(a) roughly 10 times the publically held national debt
(b) four years of US economic output
(c) 94% of all US household assets
The suggested remedy? An immediate and permanent 66% increase on income tax across the board.
Currently only 13 States have a fiscally sustainable policy at this time.
