Our President DDE pointed this out in one of his speeches . Well the Generals and the MIC have gained so much influence that our elected official are forever looking for another war . Along with health care , energy , and a number of other programs this Afghanistan business will continue as is because Congress will not listen to the electorate . We lost our influence on Congress a long time ago and no one Congress person has the power or influence to change things .</p> If we stop a war no pays attention to Generals any more and the Military Industrial Complex loses influence .

I agree with Suzanne, give her both sides. We liberals/progressives are the real deficit hawks.

That energizes primary candidates to move to the left. Big win.

You are saving the soul of the Democratic party.

As you understand so well, when the economy goes off the cliff in 2010, after the $787 billion dollar stimulus runs out, the billionaires club deficit hawks will invoke the Shock doctrine to hide their swoop into raid Social Security and Medicare.

It’s this fight, right here, right now, that is the start of a liberal/progressive bunker against that.

My only hesitation is I am not sure which point to use. There is the Afghan War with no strategy and no expiration date. There is also the IMF funding issue which I doubt my fellow constituents would find reason to support.
