A lot of BIG questions were left of the VP debate agenda last night. Forget the personal issues of same-sex marriage and bridging the chasm of political divide in Washington. Let's talk reality.

Q: By all accounts, including a Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, the current Commander in Chief lied, used deceptive tactics and deliberately misled the U.S. into war in Iraq. In its role as a balance of power and holding the White House accountable, the Congress has a deplorable record. What actions do you both believe ought to be taken against the Bush administration, if any, for the war in Iraq?

Q: The power of the people to remove a sitting president and vice president is in conjunction with the representatives its sends to Congress. The people have sought for years to impeach this administration. Congress voted 251-166 just a few months ago to send 35 articles of impeachment to the House Judiciary, where the Speaker and many other members of Congress hoped they would die. Is such surface actions merely a method of deceiving the public into thinking the Congress is acting on behalf of the people or do you believe the Congress is genuinely seeking to impeach and remove this Commander in Chief? What do you think should happen with regard to the current impeachment process, given the timetable of the election and turnover of power?

Q: Gov. Palin, you speak of your battles against the oil companies in Alaska, but you have never spoken on the greater role of the oil companies in Iraq, where your son is being sent. Iraq's Oil Ministry has been manipulated and controlled by the U.S. since 2003. Today, the Oil Ministry is set to sell Iraqi lands to U.S. oil companies that hope the U.S. military will remain to secure their investments. What do you know about this action by the oil company, the collaboration with the U.S. State Dept. and Defense Dept. and what will your administration policy be in Iraq regarding using the military to protect oil interests?

Q: Sen. Biden, you've been in the Senate for many years, including all of the years that the former Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer led a nationwide revolt against the Bush administration as a then-Attorney General when Bush and Cheney were in the early years of this administration. All 50 states joined together to prevent the predatory lending practices that the Bush Treasury Dept and the Federal Reserve were pushing. It was an unprecedented 50-state revolution that was put down. In its aftermath we see the dissassembling of the U.S. economic system. What knowledge did you have of this major war and what was your role in it? Also, what will your administration do to repair the massive damage that was done and how will you hold the previous administration accountable?

Q: Gov. Palin, you've talked about your refusal to sit down with Iran under any conditions. But the U.S. has a more immediate concern than Iran's potential acquisition of nukes. The Kurds seek independence. If we assist them in obtaining it in Iraq, that threatens the power over the Kurds in Turkey (our ally) and in Syria and Iran. The Kurds had their nation actually wiped off the face of the map, an issue over which you show great compassion toward Israel. They have long sought to restore Kurdistan, which now is part of four national territories. The U.S. has assisted the Kurds in gaining control over the oil-rich northern Iraq and even helped Jalal Talabani obtain unprecedented power as president. How will your administration deal with the growing problem of protracted conflict with regard to the Kurds gaining independence in Iraq?

Q: Pakistan has accused the U.S. of heavy-handed aggression that has resulted in many civilian deaths. The situation there is tenuous and Pakistan has nukes and an unstable government. The U.S. has a long history of supporting dictators and tyrants, including one that recently lost power in Pakistan. How will your administration deal with the growing problem of deteriorating diplomacy between the U.S. and Pakistan?

Q: The U.S. has a long history of covert ops and overthrowing governments. Recently, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela booted the U.S. diplomat and charged the U.S. of yet another attempt to overthrow his government. He invited the Russians to come into his country to help protect him. Venezuela is a major supplier of oil to the U.S. How would your administration repair the problem that Chavez and more than 100 other nations have with the U.S. due to Bush administration policies?

Q: The Bush administration has orchestrated a massive expansion of the executive branch, its authority, its budget and its Constitutional powers. Some of those efforts include: USA PATRIOT ACT, Military Commissions Act, suspension of Habeas Corpus, domestic spying, secret prisons, torture, and the list is quite extensive. What can Americans expect from your administration with regard to revoking or continuing the policies created by the Bush administration and exercising the newfound authority to ignore Congress and the Justice Dept as well as the American people?

These are just a few of some VERY serious questions that ought to have been asked but were not.
With regard to the economic situation, there are more questions there as well. I provided more questions in my blog. read it here: http://www.thetruthaboutterror.org/blog/
