"Look, the fact is that if Barack Obama's policy on Iraq had been implemented, Barack Obama couldn't go to Iraq today."
Is that fair? Is it because President Bush went ahead with the "surge" when the Democrats said the war was already lost that now it's safe to go to Iraq?
Recently, a NASA scientist, Dr. James Hansen said that Global Warming deniers, CEO's of fossil fuel companies should be tried for "crimes against humanity". So the people who provide you with the gas for your car, or the gas for the bus that gets you to work everyday, or the fuel that gets food to the grocery store so you can eat, should be tried for crimes against humanity. But what about the folks that believe in global warming but continue to fly private jets, drive SUV's and get driven around in limo's? For example, when some Hollywood star or rock star comes out against global warming and preaches to us how we should live, that's great, but when Sheryl Crowe goes on tour, the trucks that carry her equipment, (not her bio-diesel tour bus) use more fossil fuel for one tour than the average American uses in a year. Then if you add all the carbon produced by the folks sitting in traffic trying to get to the arena's and stadiums, shouldn't these people give up touring and just do one pay per view concert we could all watch on TV? Okay, they'd make less money but they could still make over $100,000 working one day per year.
What about Al Gore? Why does he have to fly on private jets and then drive in three cars to give his speeches. Can't he just do a video conference from his Apple MacBook at home for free? Does he need to make $300,000,000 per year and generate a larger carbon footprint than 100,000 Americans combined?
See, I don't know about you, but I have trouble taking health advice from a fat, chain smoking doctor, who tells me that I need to exercise, eat right and quit smoking. "Gee, Doc, do you really believe that?"
Does Al Gore really believe in Global Warming? Is he just making a profit? If he believes it, why isn't he doing anything about it? My house was solar powered 5 years before Al Gore's house.
