re: Dick

Attention, everybody – I mean everyone on Earth – this is important:

Dick Cheney does not speak for or represent the opinion or beliefs, or even pretend to concern himself with the interests of the people of the United States.

He was never duly elected vice president, and gives not one small shit for the wishes of the people he pretends to represent. And before you know it, he’ll be gone from office, collecting what he’s got coming from Haliburton, and writing his stupid book.  

This man is, like his boss, a pretender to office. So when he says things like the US supports Israel, don’t believe him. Well, we probably do support Israel, but the point is disregard the source of such statements.

Thanks. And don’t forget when you’re buying blue jeans, a fake in that matter is ill-advised as well. Buy genuine American made pants. So, unlike American law, government and society, they won’t spontaneously come apart at the ass and disintegrate from the top down.

Oh My, My Lai

The war in Iraq is a My Lai writ large: on a scale of a thousand. The best estimate of the number of civilians killed in this war, as of last year, is 1.2 million. Not all of those, by any means, have been killed by Americans. Many have been murdered by Iraqis; but American airpower has killed a very high proportion of those civilians, along with indiscriminate ground fire; and it was an American decision that unleashed this slaughter five years ago. 1.2 million people. That corresponds to a My Lai a day, every day, for six and a half years. That’s longer than this war has yet lasted, but not nearly as long as it will probably last.

So?

Watch Dick Cheney express his disdain for the collective conscience of the American people.

So? So, if I turned on the news tomorrow morning and they said Cheney’s dark and rotten old heart had finally given out, I’d say So?

The fish rots from the head. So …

IMPEACH BUSH & CHENEY !!!

Major Stategic Victory!

WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) – President George W. Bush will acknowledge on Wednesday the Iraq war has been fought at a high cost but will insist a U.S. troop buildup has opened the door to a “major strategic victory” against Islamic militants.

“The successes we are seeing in Iraq are undeniable,” Bush will say in an upbeat assessment of the U.S.-led campaign in a speech marking the fifth anniversary of the war, according to excerpts released on Tuesday.

Today is the 5th Anniversary of the start of the war on Iraq, a nation of innocent people where America has staged a proxy fight with persons unknown yet deeply feared.

4000 Americans are dead, many thousands more injured, and over a trillion dollars wasted.  And what the hell is a strategic victory? I’ll tell you: the surgery was a success, but the patient died. The strategy works, the enemy just won’t cooperate by losing.

Oh, how I hate George W. Bush. I wish to God we’d never heard his miserable, misbegotten name. His arrogant stupidity has cost us everything; lives, treasure, and good faith among the nations. He has gutted our civil rights and made us a monster of destruction, no less evil than the Soviet Union, China or Nazi Germany. His minions disappear people and torture them. He spies on his own people and demands impunity.

How can we question the ranting claims of Obama’s preacher, that God will damn America?

God bless America, and give US a chance to Repent before it’s too late.
