Newt Gingrich in the race.

Former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich has entered the race for president in 2012. Many people think he has a good chance to beat Obama I for one am not so sure about this. This man comes with a lot of personal baggage. I have no doubt that he has the experience and knowledge to be president of the United States. I think the American people are really looking for new faces as they are tired of the same old politicians running for office he has been around a long time this may be one of the drawbacks. I don't think he is doing very good in the polls but of course it is so early that this can change very quickly. Take Donald Trump for example a few weeks ago he was very high in the polls now he has dropped to number five tied with Ron Paul. Gingrich is going after the evangelical vote. We have not heard from Mike Huckabee whether he will run if Huckabee throws his hat into the ring this will make it more difficult for Newt Gingrich. Only time will answer all of these questions.

On another topic I was reading in the morning paper and it was also on the national news that the Bin Laden family is thinking about suing the United States over the death of their father. This is perfectly legal in our country but don't you think on the other hand the almost 3000 family members who lost loved ones on 9/11 should sue the estate of the known terrorist Osama bin Laden. There is also a large estate in Florida that is owned by the Bin Laden family which they are trying to sell for millions of dollars I think there should be a lien placed on this estate as soon as possible. I think the remaining wives of Osama bin Laden should also be sued for any inheritance they would receive from the estate of the terrorist. Suing someone is a two-way street so let the games begin.

Afghanistan

The main reason for the United States to be in Afghanistan was to hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden. Now that this has been accomplished by the United States Navy it is time for us to go. Our mission in Afghanistan was not to be nationbuilding. It is not to build roads and schools and try to reshape the government of this country our mission is done Bin Laden is dead it is time to move on. The people of Afghanistan have been killing each other for many hundreds of years our being there is not going to change that. The government is corrupt and we're just wasting millions of dollars or let me say billions of dollars. It is a known fact that the brother of the president of Afghanistan is a known drug dealer. Let us pull all of our troops out of this corrupt country as soon as possible. Bin Laden is dead he should be entering the gates of hell about now. Let us declare victory and leave this corrupt and evil place. They will get along fine without us as they still have each other to kill.
