[size=large] You will simply not believe this. Our 8th District US Congressional
representative, the Hon. Gabrielle Giffords, in a meeting of the House Armed
Services Committee, asked General David Petraeus the following
question:
"General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war
on terror?"
Wow. I had to read, and re-read this several times to believe it.
Folks, there are American sons & daughters dying every week on the foreign
battlefields of southwest Asia . The nation is completely bankrupt and -
quite literally, borrowing 43 cents for every dollar in federal spending.
We have the largest environmental disaster in the nation's history in the
Gulf of Mexico , and we have Mexican drug armies invading our nation. And
yet ...
A member of Congress from Arizona 's 8th congressional district took the
time to ask our battlefield commander what he is doing to curb carbon
emissions in the war.
Gabrielle Giffords is the poster-child for what is wrong with the US
Congress. We are being led by imbiciles. To the rest of America reading
this blog, and to Gen. Petraeus if this e-mail makes it to your inbox - my
sincerest apologies for the stupid question asked of you by my US
congressional representative. General - I am sure you have better things to
worry about than carbon emissions on the battlefield. I assure you, as a
registered voter in Arizona 's 8th congressional district, I will do
everything I can to ensure Rep.
Giffords is voted out of office in November, and I pray you'll get back to
business of fighting the war on terror without worrying about such petty and
nonsensical matters as your carbon footprint in the war.
