Get out!

Claire Mccaskill, (d) Missouri Senate Candidate, was on CNN's Hardball speaking with Chris Mathews and talking about trying to get out of Iraq and leaving the country in a "no win" status.

This country has spent over 300 billion on the war and can't even get the troops decent protective gear.

But there is oil there so the republicans may drag their feet.

But there is no oil in the Congo, and other places in Africa (60 plus countries) where rape and genocide is occurring and millions are dying and this country offers no military help for pure humanity sake. Mia Farrow along with her son, Ronan, are good well ambassadors and participants in UNICEF to help these people. They were on The View this morning asking for our help. A woman in Darfur who was raped repeatedly, lost her husband and siblings and three of her five children has implore Mia to help them and get the word out. Humanitarians are risking their lives; what we can do is support UNICEF. We need to get the UN in there. The government of Sudan and armed Arab militia are the trouble makers. They need peace makers there. The African countries do not have the military power to overtake the aggressors.

Today I saw Bush running with an amputee. Bush had visited the young man in the hospital and the young man said he wanted to run with Bush one day. He had both legs partially amputated. As I watched those two running, Bush with a big clueless grin and the young man proud and on high tech prostheses, I couldn't help but feel a little ill and think....over oil? And Bush is an idiot or just plain heartless.
