Cher and Cheney

Can it be what you make it?

Cher is 60 and Cher will only be as old as she wants to be. She'll probably feel more tired of it all then anything.

Cher has new passions like seeing that soldiers in Iraq are provided with the proper equipment to protect her heads. The soldiers need padded helmets to protect their brains from the vibrations and reverberations of bomb blasts.

She visits amputees and injuries in hospitals. They all want to get back there to help their buddies. Cher hates the war but supports the soldiers she has been to congress to get a move n the helmet issue and results came quickly. She has made a difference.

Funny, how it takes the average (well she is not average) citizen (I am seeing that celebrities have money and influence) to see that contributions for the betterment of the troops get made. Where is the government? They certainly are not on top of things.

From the get go the military was not properly prepared either with training or equipment. the government just wanted to get them there fast. We certainly were concerned with having a presence there fast was that to protect the oil.

Today on CNN Cheney says (by the way, the house voted down Kerry's bill to pull out by July 2007) something that didn't make sense to me. And he said something like this: If we pull out they will follow us no matter where we go? What? Then he names a bunch of countries, Africa being one of them. He made it sound like we have the terrorist contained. We are not fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq. And what ever happened to them anyway. We sure don't hear anything from Asama Bin Laden do we? Remember that huge tall man in white on the video we let get away. Was it all staged in 2001; did we work with Saudi Arabia? Was it all orchestrated? Right away bang we went after an easier target with a flimsy excuse, Saddam Hussein in Iraq Now we are there spinning our wheels and losing life and limb and for what? OIL!

Yes, Bush and his bunch of daddies' cronies are still living in the 50's. Them and the oil companies and the American auto industries. All together happy and rich and treading in oil and polluting the air for generations to come.
