Mercenaries

Today the United states released plans to hire paid Afghan soldiers to keep guard on U.S. bases in Afghanistan. I really don't think that this is such a great idea. There are of course many pros and cons to the situation. The pros being that we won't have to send anymore soldiers to fight the newly energized AL qaeda forces. So of course that means more soldiers can go into Iraq and into Iran when the time comes. Also, the Afghans will be able to learn to fight their own war without having the help of the U.S. all the time.
And of course there are the cons. The first being that I really wouldn't like to rely on the Afghan hired guns to protect our bases. Right now they are in charge of U.S food supply, transportation, and ammunition. One slip up by them or they decide to turn their back on us hundreds of soldiers may die. They could take over a base full of supplies and have a huge battle there. To me relying on Contract guns wouldn't make me feel to safe. I'm sure Defense Secretary Robert Gates knows exactly what he is doing since he's been Defense secretary for about 3 years now.

Sotomayor

Hello there today I am posting on how bad the Republicans have been toward Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. First off President Obama didn't nominate her for nothing. Obviously she is well qualified for the position. A bunch of people are saying that Obama only nominated her because she is Hispanic. Grant it she will be the first Hispanic to be supreme court judge but still, hes not appointing because of race. The republicans keep asking her about how she feels about abortion and all the other important historical cases like Roe v. Wade and Brown vs. board of education. Everybody has mixed reviews about abortion. Its 50/50. She has been a judge for a while so she shouldn't have to be told how to make decisions based on facts and not by personal feelings. For all the interrogations that the republicans did they are still going to vote her in because shes not a crazy feminists out to seek control of the Judicial branch. She is just a hard worker that is eager to get what she has worked for over 30 years. People should trust in Obama because he is the guy that we are all depending on.

July 3, 2009 Sarah Palin

Today Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin resign from her office in Alaska. Many believe and so do i that she is going to run for president in 2012. Two things are going to have to happen in order for her to win it:
1. By some miracle in the world she decides to read a few books and maybe study a couple of maps of the world. It wouldn't hurt knowing where many of the major countries sit.
2. In the next 4 years President Obama is going to have to completely destroy half the country. He will have to be George Bush times 10. He will have to find WMD's in England and maybe decide not to fix the economy.

Palin is one of the biggest reasons that McCain lost the election in the first place. If he was to ever die in office nobody not even me wanted to see her run the country. And besides she will probably run against Hilary Clinton or Obama and I don't think she can beat either. America has seen enough of the Republicans screwing up. She will just add to it.
