A collection of insightful ruminations, reflections, and rants on the events of the day (with the exception of the weekend). We'll collect a week's worth here and then archive them. Come visit each weekday to see what's pushing Barbara's buttons. March 19, 2004 It's beginning to look more like a coalition of the "unwilling" for George Bush! Sooner or later, lies will come back to bite you in the ass, and it looks as though more and more people are catching on to the Weasel in Chief. Spain is calling on the United Nations to get involved, Poland believes they were "misled", some in Italy believe "the war in Iraq may have been a mistake"! Duuhh? The chaos and confusion, the death and destruction, and the downright inhumanity that is occurring in Iraq are the very reasons saner, wiser men than Bush decided containment was a far better solution than invasion! * * * Most Moms in America would condemn the actions of a school yard bully, especially when her child is being bullied! Most Dads would tell their child to stand up to the bully because a bully is really a coward at heart and, if confronted, he or she will run away crying! So tell me, why aren't Americans saying "enough already" when it comes to the bullying from the Bush administration? Have we lost our sense of justice and succumbed to the actions of a bully? Are we so afraid of Bush that we would allow this bully to represent us? November won't be soon enough to get rid of the Bush regime and return sanity and wisdom to this nation. The time is now to replace ignorance with intelligence. Vote for John Kerry for President of the United States and take back our dignity. * * * With the "coalition of the unwilling" falling apart before his very eyes, how long do you think it will take Bush and gang to find a place to hide the contraband unloaded in southern Iraq during the dark of night? How long do you think it will take to find WMD's in a previously undisclosed spider hole? * * * March 18, 2004 Before jumping to conclusions about Spain, one would be wise to hear what Spain's newest Prime Minister had to say. Before trashing another foreign government because they don't support the folly of Bush's invasion into Iraq, some in this country should analyze exactly what policies that foreign government has stated. "If there isn't a change and the United Nations doesn't take charge of the situation, and the occupying forces don't cede political control, the Spanish troops will return and the deadline for their presence there will be June 30," says Spain's newly elected Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. His intention to validate an Iraqi liberation by involving the support of the United Nations is by far more sane than the unilateral occupation of Iraq by the Bush administration! The whole problem could have been solved a long time ago if only Bush and Companies had ceded the rebuilding of Iraq to the United Nations instead of greedily hanging on to profiteering opportunities! * * * Where is the wisdom in pursuing war over diplomacy, in choosing war over containment? Why would anyone believe killing thousands of innocent people and close to 600 American troops is superior to a more peaceful solution? Since when has choosing to be a "war president" become something to be proud of? How many more "mass graves" have been created as a result of invading Iraq? How much do the Iraqi people have to endure from enemies and friends? There is something really tacky about campaign ads that personify death and glorify the cause! * * * March 17, 2004 After reading the numerous reports regarding the warnings given to this White House about Osama bin Laden and his intention to attack the United States, that Bush went on vacation in August 2001 after the warnings, and that Bush intended to invade Iraq long before 9-11, it's logical to assume that this administration ignored the warnings hoping that an attack would give them the opportunity to invade Iraq! It is illogical to believe the supposedly intelligent, experienced people surrounding Bush could not have known bin Laden intended to use airplane's for missiles! * * * Bring out the popcorn and cola, another Bush ad is on the tube, filled with fantasy and complete with nostalgic music! The ads mimic old time oater movies and really do question the intelligence of the viewer. Karl proves that he believes Americans are as stupid as his candidate! In reality, the ads show America a man without substance and a U.S. Presidency denigrated by false bravado imagery! Our future and the future of our children depends on a cheerleader pretending to be a player! * * * No more hands off Laura Bush. The day she waded into George's campaign was the day the gloves came off. She voluntarily became an opinionated voice on government, which means she also became an issue to refute. Ms. Bush is no longer just a good little wife who happens to be First Lady for the man who stole an election. Now, she's a political commentator and whatever she says is open for discussion! * * * March 16, 2004 The former administration in Spain took a page from the Bush playbook on how not to run a country! The lies they told, post-terrorist attack, were intolerable to the Spanish people and the people exercised their discontent at the polls! The Spanish people did not hand the terrorists a victory -- they handed the liars a defeat. An administration who descends to the level of terrorists and conducts business based on lies, deception, clandestine activity, and fear is frankly no better than the terrorists themselves. The Spanish people were intelligent enough to understand that fact when they went to the polls. * * * The Bush administration and the Repuglicans should be careful about what they ask for --they just may get it! Spain has just very publicly weighed in on how they view the Bush administration, and it looks as though more and more of our former friends and allies are coming to the aid of John Kerry. He doesn't have to name names, the names are voluntarily coming forward and it doesn't look too good for the Bush administration! * * * Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush administration would like the American public to believe the decision makers were misinformed by the intelligence agency regarding the imminence of WMD's in Iraq. Since the CIA has repeatedly said they told the administration the Iraqi threat was not imminent, the question becomes which intelligence agency committed such an obvious mistake? Could the NESA, better known as Near East South Asia directorate, and the Pentagon's OSP, aka Office of Special Plans, been responsible for such an egregious miscalculation? Could it have been a "shadow intelligence agency" set up at the office of the secretary of defense? Could Donald Rumsfeld's own creation have caused all the problems? Hmmm, I wonder? * * * March 15, 2004 Since Bush and Poppy really like the idea of a "New World Order," U. S. supremacy, and spreading Democracy throughout the world, I wonder how Poppy's boy would do if the people of the world could vote in the upcoming election? The mainstream media could conduct a poll and see Dumbya's popularity on a global scale! Survey the electorate in every nation to see if Bush and his policies are well-received. * * * Since George Bush has widely publicized he's been scrutinizing Kerry's record, that must mean the Bush's records from governing Texas and his record since squatting in the president's office are open to the same kind of scrutiny! Right out of the gate one can see he came into office, in both instances, with a whopping big surplus, yet managed to plunge both Texas and the U.S. into deficits in short order. His vacation time racks up more time off than time spent doing the job, he really enjoys robbing the poor to give to the rich, he does not like doing the business of the people in the sunshine, he avoids responsibility for his actions, he cultivates rich campaign donors, and when necessary he will lie to accomplish his personal goals. Now that records have become so important, any investigative reporter or political opponent worth his salt should be able to let this country know the truth about the double-dealing record of George W. Bush! | ||||||
