1. Why haven't we heard anything about the war in Iraq? Have you read that Iraq will be holding parliamentary elections in January and the groups that boycotted last time have agreed to take part? Did you know that Iraq has worked out its oil revenue sharing program? Did you know that public opinion polls in the Middle East (there's a strange concept) have shown that suicide bombing is not as popular as it used to be? Evidently it is now considered a destructive but not particularly effective tactic. I think that's good news. Have you read anywhere that freedom in Iraq is as much a destabilization problem for Iran as Iran has tried to be to Iraq? Hmmm
2. Have you read that the crowds for McCain-Palin are getting larger while the crowds for Barack Obama are shrinking? I have no idea what that means, but I find it interesting. I listened to part of a McCain-Palin rally in Wisconsin today, there are some angry voters out there.
3. Why are we asking the Congress, whose policies caused the demise of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, to fix them? Why is Henry Waxman investigating the financial meltdown when it was a democrat problem? See previous post "Follow The Money" on September 16, which links to opensecrets.org which shows campaign donations by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
These are the things we should be seeing in our newspapers. Have you seen any of them?
