ps here's something to bring us back to reality:
This world is about to change ... Thanks to this administration....
'Bout time!
Rumsfield wants to give the military their own CIA..he is not happy with the CIA... what a power monger!
The military has had it's own intelligence apparatus since time immemorial. "Military Intelligence" has been an oxymoron since your Grandfather's Grandfather's day.
Turkey rejects billions ..the Kurds hate the Turks..no northern front, means more American lives lost.. the Kurds want to go to war with the Turks...9 billion to Israel!
Turkey is making a mistake. They will probably correct it, but you can't keep other countries from making a mistake and getting on the wrong side of history. The Kurds will not be able to wipe their own butts without our permission once we are in Iraq, and anyway, they will be happy just to not be the whipping boy of Arabia anymore. Israel is our one true friend in the region, and deserves our continued support. This has not changed.
N. Korea buzzes an unarmed spi plane of ours...typical saber rattling..has been going on for years..what does Bush do..assign our fighter jets to fly along side these spi planes...great, so now, out in the middle of no where they can fire on these outdated migs..and we have a nuclear exchange.. the Korean people die by the tens of thousands...first three day death estimate...by our military..15,000 to 20.000 American soldiers, 100,000+ South Koreans, Seol will be completely destroyed by an estimated 500,000 artillery and rocket rounds. Japan will be fired upon...estimated deaths by our military in Japan 10,000+.
How did we get from escorting reconnaisance planes in international airspace to nuclear Armageddon in one step? Has this person not noticed that timid responses encourage despots?
Estimated military personal needed to fight in Afganistan, Irag, Korea..2 million ... guess we will reinstate the draft...this time though make all the ones who did not serve during Viet Nam regardless of age...be drafted. Along with all of our young men...remember the French movie ''Wars of Passion"...all the well to do will be spared the threat of dieing abroad.
Two million to fight in Afghanistan, Iraq and Korea? Absurd. And in any case, we are not going to be fighting in all three of these places simultaneously. WRT Vietnam War draft dodgers, I don't think the military utility of aging hippies is very high. They don't even make good human shields, because the enemy (or our regulars) will enjoy picking them off for sport. Besides, it's hard to make decent camo with tie-dye.
Forget Social Security Forget MediCare
Tell me when we get to the bad part...
What a difference two years makes.... A prosperous nation, low unemployment the American dream within reach of all welfare was being eliminated crime was dropping big time A SURPLUS so big that our nations future looked great for all.
If you believe all the BS that was being spewed by the Democrats two years ago, that's your delusion, not mine.
Today.. As did his Father ..record dificit spending ...for the war machine. Highest unemployment since George senior was in office. OIL>>>Gas prices hitting 2 dollars per gallon - with no regulation or concern from Bush. Duct tape and visquine
GWB is deficit spending on everything. The excess military expenditures are just one small part. Nobody's perfect, I guess. Gasoline was two dollars a gallon under the final summer of Clinton as well. Not that that really matters. WRT duct tape and plastic sheeting (visquine is a panzy Brit word), when the poison cloud comes, I invite this person to stand in the middle of a field of daisies and take a nice, deep breath.
Fastest - Rising crime - in 50 years! Every state is at a record deficit..worst since WWII ENRON - quietly disappearing...
Crime is still down. WRT state deficits, runaway entitlements are a bear. ENRON is no longer a problem because they no longer have access to the (Clinton) White House. GWB never granted them favors, and Clinton did all the time.
Record pension backruptcy's Record home forclosures Record personal bankruptcys Lowest consumer confidence since...George senior was in office.. Absolutely no domestic economic policy..oh..record tax breaks for the rich , thats the current policy! A foreign policy that simply has fallen on its face.. Directing the IRS to concentrate more on low income tax evaders...forget the BILLIONS being ripped off by corporate America! Total change of our legal rights: limits on malpractice..placing a price on our life. A proposed national I.D. card with a complete personal hsitory required. Every telephone and email and fax being monitored..tapped without court approval. Yet another CIA this time a military CIA ..like the military can do a better job! There will be : NO SOCIAL SECURITY or MEDICARE in 8 years according to one very important "Republican" Greenspan. But the rich do not need social security checks anyway... World War III just around the corner...
Where to start. Big ol' heapin' stinkin' pile-o-blather.
Under Regan we supported Saddam Hussien against Iran...gave him our anthrax, our biologal weapons. Under Bush Sr. we supported and trained via the CIA Bin Laden in Afganistans war against Russia. Under Bush Sr. he directed General Swartzcoff to suddenly stop and retrete when our army was 18 miles out of Bagdad. Under Bush Sr. ..Swartcoff asked for a NO FLY ZONE to be immediately enforced tp protect the rebelling Kurds, Sunnis, BUsh refused giving Hussien time to murder these men and women with his attck helicopters...to this day helicopters are allowed to fly in the no fly zone. Under Bush Jr....he allowed a 30 hour seize fire to be implimented when Bin Laden was surrounded in the southern town that was home to his headquaters..quietly the western border to Pakistan was opened up during the evening hours, even though the city was surrounded..guess who walked out of the back door and is still free today...our CIA trained former (Regan Administarion freind) Bin Laden!
We did not supply Iraq with our biological weapons for the simple reason that we do not have any biological weapons of our own to supply him with. He ordered samples of Anthrax from a mail-order scientific supply house. You could do the same today, with the proper license.
ALERT! ALERT! They're to us! The DUmmies are aware that Bin Laden is our employee and that the WTC was a CIA op from the get go! Better get shredding those files down in Langley!
This guy needs something a little stronger than tin-foil (remember, shiny side out!). Maybe if he encased his head in lead, the voices would stop...
Remember the delay in releasing the hostages in Iran. Admittingly done by Regan to beat Carter in the presidental elections...
All arranged by GHWB, when he secretly flew an SR-71 Blackbird to and from Iran, neatly explaining how he could negotiate all of this in Teheran during a 5-hour window...
Remember Nixon...WaterGate!
Nixon had the decency to resign before he was impeached.
I am shocked that this current administration has not blamed all of there short comings on Blow Job Bill.
This administration has a lot more class than that. I, however, do not. I will gladly ascribe most of our current predicaments to Bubba.
I neglected to add: A 'Castanza' is also the kind of guy you would not be friends with, if you were not already friends.
