I realized today why Dasshole and the rest are screaming:
About a week to ten days from now the War is going to start, (probably the weekend after the congress/the UN passes it's resolution.....**) and anyone who understands how we work can see it, the signs all turned up on TV Monday.
What you may ask gives me this insight?
Well I'll tell you, as it just hit me.....and I had real reservations about posting, (and If the folks here think this should go, pull away)....
Remember the image of the skies over Bagdad during Desert Storm.....well, on Monday both Fox news and CNN launched a midday show about the "War in Iraq", and PMSNBC sent their reporter to an aircraft carrier in the gulf who has started reporting daily about "drills"
As a TV producer it tells me they are positioning themselves to be on air during the night, (Bagdad Time) and already have everything in place to cover what they expect to be a very short war.
In my field you start a week or two ahead to get your viewers in tow, but you don't start a month or two because you'll lose them......
So, at the risk of seeming like a complete fool, the motions of the TV news gatherers tells me we'll be in and over before Halloween.
And the democrats will have to run against a victorious republican President who has just beaten Iraq, liberated Afghanistan and planted the seeds of democracy in Iran at the same time........
No wonder they're pissed:
They wanted GWB to go to the UN, he did.
They wanted him to come to congress, he did.
And now, before the election, he's going to go into Iraq........(and the War will bost the economy as well)
I've said it before and I will say it again:
Don't mess with this Texan, he's too many moves ahead
So now this "war" is being treated as nothing more than a television production.
If anyone had any doubt that we are constantly being manipulated by our government and its media flacks . . .
Really? That's just dandy.
It is possible to glean things from certain actions as they happen, and my guess is the media, through it's world wide contacts, can see the build up is under way, the pieces are being positioned, the weather is far more favorable in October and November because of the rivers in winter, and if you can see world wide, you can probably connect the dots that happened last time....
I called the attack in Afgahnistan based on the same stuff and scooped everyone......
I would be willing to bet quite a lot of money that you're wrong.
Have you been hanging out with TLBSHOW? It sure sounds like it.
In a democracy; the will of the people detemine the goverment's agenda and who is elected. Most people (ie. non-freepers) are incredibly stupid, and have a memory shorter than that of a goldfish. As proof, please note that I am certain that the idiots driving on the roads are non-freepers. We remember things, hold people accountable, are smart, very attractive, clean, and thus are impeccable drivers.
In that same vein, by using the news to keep people 'caught up' and active, GW is showing that the Republicans do what they say, and have a plan. Hopefully, a few of the idiots who have previously voted Dem, will think before voting again.
Fact is, Saddam had 11 years to comply with his terms of surrender.
During that time, he has repeatedly interfered with attempts to bring him into compliance, committed Acts of War against nations supervising the no - fly zones, and attempted to assassinate a former president.
That's more than enough for me.
