Escalating George W. Bush's Gut Feelings

[Blue Owl]

When George W. Bu$h started his illegal wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq, he proudly informed us that these major decisions
came "from the gut." 

I ask you, President Obama, when you carefully pondered your
decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan, did you forget
how this war was started in the first place?

Intellectual, careful thinking cannot resolve a problem that
is fundamentally wrong from square one.

Mr. Obama, I ask you to step back and consider what you are
doing here.  All the reasons that George W. Bu$h and the
neocons started these wars have at worst been proven to be
lies, and at best to be cover-stories for their actual motives
involving war profiteering, energy monopolizing, greed, and
corruption.

It makes absolutely no sense to continue these wars much less
escalate them.  The only winner is corruption.

And what are you keeping us safe from, when we have much more
direct threats right here between our shores?  A huge percent
of our brothers and sisters are facing bankruptcies,
foreclosures, downsizing, job losses, no health care,
increasing debt, and homelessness.  To spend the billions and
trillions on this mistaken war that never should have been
launched in the first place is absolute insanity.

END THIS WAR, MR. PRESIDENT.  Don't waste billions to destroy
another country.  Let's use that money to help and heal our
own.

2. Why is it that all first-time posters seem to use this format?

Is it a particular browser that does it? :shrug:

Anyhow, welcome to DU, Blue Owl. Nice post, even with the butt-ugly font. :D

9. I think it is some kind of cut-and-paste problem

The cut must be bringing some font instructions from wherever the original came from.

4. During the Reagan years, that was the officially acceptable font

for many Federal agencies. Uggh....every damned document in courier font. I've hated it, ever since.

7. Recommend and welcome to DU!

As you will have noted, the font is offputting to some, so you might as well ditch it for another.
