The Politics of the BP Oil Spill and the Afghanistan War

The Politics of the BP Oil Spill and the Afghanistan War

This political video was a little more insightful and offered both sides of current events.  They talked about the current oil spill and the powers of our government.  It is funny that this particular news outlet used to shower the current government with generous praise that was not deserved and defend its poor decisions.  Now that this environmental disaster has exposed the lack of leadership, they seem to be more critical than before.

Towards the end of the video when they talk about the Afghanistan war now being the longest war in American history with over 1,000 deaths, they mention the ignorant stories about that country having a trillion dollars worth of minerals. It is obvious this stupid story was from the government and that they realize that the troops being withdrawn are simply political lies and that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are no different than the Vietnam war.
