Using chemical weapons of mass destruction is defined in my book as an atrocity!  When I learned of atrocities having been committed in the name of freedom and democracy, I was appalled!  It was sickening to think that American values were used to justify murder! Killing innocent men, women, and children is not a hallmark for freedom or democracy!  I just have to wonder if the reason the Bush administration and the military are not conducting “body counts” of civilians is because in the end the responsibility for crimes against humanity, more heinous than any ever committed by Saddam Hussein, will be born by America?

Hmm, shipping deadly viruses … could that ever present a threat to the citizens of these United States?  After all, CDC spokesman Von Roebuck has issued a statement promising, “This (virus) is not going to go willy nilly to anyone who wants it.” I wonder if anyone ever made the same promise about the Anthrax virus?

And what do the Repuglicans do when they’ve been caught red-handed; blame the Democrats, that’s what!!  Only this time it won’t work, doesn’t really make any difference who said what, who believed what, or who supported what, because the people of America now know that George Bush ordered up a preemptive unnecessary war based on fraudulent charges he himself made!!! He brought “shock and awe” down on a country that had nothing to do with 9-11! We now know that thousands of innocent Iraqis have died, over 2000 American soldiers are dead, and more than 15000 of our sons and daughters have suffered life-altering injuries because of lies this administration hyped intentionally to wage a war that had been planned long before the SCOTUS handed George Bush the GO card!  The Repuglicans can spin, frame, and outright lie, but it won’t change the facts. A majority of Americans know we’ve been had by the Bushies!!!  And, frankly, there isn’t a more formidable group than a bunch of Americans who finally come to realize they’ve been scammed!

Weapons of Mass Destruction actually arrived on the shores of Iraq via the U.S. Military! WP (white phosphorus), a chemical weapon of mass destruction, was used during “The Fight For Fallujah”!  My God, in an effort to kill insurgents, how many innocent civilians, how many innocent men, women, and children were annihilated?  When obsessive mania becomes the driving force to smite an enemy, mania is the enemy!

In reading the various articles regarding various “has been” journalists of late, I was struck by something all these “has beens” have in common!  They are scraping the bottom of the barrel to try to remain credible in wake of the budding truth about the Bush administration!  Now some have opted to blatantly ignore the fact that they whole heartedly supported every “talking point” put out there by Karl Rove for public consumption, while others have chosen to outright lie about their support, but there is that pathetic bunch who continue to try and spin the Bush façade!  They are the ones who can thankfully bend over and kiss their backsides good-bye!

That’ll teach Denny and Bill---Trent Lott must be on cloud nine---finally an opportunity to become a real statesman and in the process stick it to those who helped to orchestrate his demise.  How really foolish Denny and Bill look in making such a public display of calling for an investigation only to find it probably was a Repuglican who leaked the classified information!!!  Of course it leaves one wondering if it was all a malevolent pre-planned Repuglican “leak” hatched in order to substantiate an extensive investigation of the Democrats!! My how justice sometimes comes home to roost, it would be a real hoot if in the end some of these Repuglican reelection hopefuls decided they better cough up the truth and expose the real culprit if they intend to maintain an office in the Capital of the United States!

“GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (R), CALIFORNIA: Californians believe that the state is on the wrong track. Californians believe that we need reform, we need change. But the people of California are sick and tired of all the fighting, and they're sick and tired of all those negative TV ads.”   Err, excuse me Aunuld, in case you haven’t noticed, Californians are sick and tired of you, and the change they’re looking for is a new governor, one who knows how to govern!
