Dealing with a bad poker hand, and protecting our National Interests

It seems like the main friction these days is between the lack of faith in the executive’s management of the Iraq war (with gross congressional mismanagement added in), and most American’s impatience with the overall mismanagement and their family’s blood being bled for some D.C. group’s latest effort to unscrew themselves. Complicating the mismanagement history is the strategic issue of protecting us and our families from this group of infidels from hell. Even the latest surge strategy has reached media hyperbole, that is to say what we are being reported has nothing to do with reality. The last complicating factor is that of the democratic party trying to exploit all this terrible situation for their own political election benefit. The inside of D.C. flavor really stinks.

Yet we citizens are stuck with protecting our national interests since few in the executive or congress seem interested. What a sad state of affairs!

So most who have been dealt a bad poker hand fold. And it looks like this is what is happening inside of D.C. today. Some others take a longer national point of view, and play again with new opportunities. Our national opportunities have everything to do with our kids and future, just as a reminder. Dinosaur politicians who pontificate surrender or quitting are losers. How about we fix our problems, and go for the win.
