Why is the Patriot Act still in existence? |
|
Why are our troops still in Iraq? Why are we escalating the conflict in Afghanistan?
Why does our foreign policy remain the same even after a watershed election?
There must be more to all of this than meets the eye, don't you think?

5. No executive gives up power |
|
Troops in Iraq are being drawn down. Escalation in Afghanistan is what Obama said he would do, pre-election. There are changes in our foreign policy- securing weapons grade nuclear material is one big thing. Clinton was working on this and Bush threw it out the window.
