The truth about attempting to use a Nazi comparison is that like Hitler, George Bush invaded another country without provocation!  Like Hitler, Bush used fear to fuel that invasion, like Hitler, Bush used every propaganda means possible to justify that invasion, and like Hitler, Bush created an underlying fear and loathing against an entire populace! So when plucking “comparisons” out of history, Rumsfeld would do well to remember exactly how it all began rather than misrepresenting how it ended!

While George Bush has been loath to accept advice from anyone outside his bubble of “yes sir and how far should I bend over?” inner sanctum of advisors, it's becoming quite obvious that in order to protect the safety and security of America he would do better to listen up!  The way I see it, Iraq is in the last throes of occupation, and Bush better come up with an exit plan before there’s no one left to exit!  "Gary Hart said he thinks those troops are at serious risk. … 'Our army is in danger,' he said. 'If all-out civil war breaks out, we could lose our army. If Sunnis and Shiites take to the streets by the thousands, it could literally be impossible to get [the soldiers] out. ... I know that sounds apocalyptic, but it's not out of the question. We need an exit strategy. We have no choice. We're making things worse. Ninety percent of the insurgents are Iraqis who don't like the fact that we have occupied their country. ... I know we can't just pack up and leave right away, but we're still acting as if we hold all the cards over there. We don't. We're losing control of the situation.'"

"'I can stand up here and tell you that we have delivered results for the American people, and we've got an agenda to continue to do so,' Bush said."  Now that’s the scariest thing I’ve heard him say yet, "an agenda to continue"!  The "results" are certainly not promising when you consider, an unnecessary preemptive war, the deaths of thousands of innocent people and counting, the deaths of more than 2300 American soldiers and counting, detainment without counsel, torture and abuse, a national deficit that will be our grandchildren’s inheritance, and the destruction of “freedom and democracy”!  America this is not “Scary Movie 8, 9, and 10,” these “results” are not mistakes that can be forgiven. Unfortunately “an agenda to continue” is REALITY under George Bush!

Ahh, how some things they do change!  Unfortunately, Mainstream Corporate Media, the ditto head pundits and George Bush’s “errors” have affected each and every one of us in what can only be described as destructively disastrous!  The audacity of these people is overwhelming, the liars, the cheats, the braggarts who aided and abetted George Bush all the way into Iraq, seem to forget, 3 excruciatingly long years later, the inaccurate picture they painted, while they continue to hang on to an illusion that never was and that reality shows us, never will be!

Hmm, you just have to wonder how much theory is connected to a conspiracy when a die-hard Repuglican is doing all he can to expose the machinations of the current administration and some of the things that happened on 9-11!  It’s amazing how much “theory” has become truth since George Bush conspired to steal the presidency!

* * *

“President Bush and senior officials argued Sunday that their strategy was working …”!  Yeah, and pigs fly in August.  This is some more Kool-Aid, just like all the Kool-Aid they’ve fed the public before---“Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, we’ll be greeted with flowers and song, we don’t torture, major combat is over,” and on and on and on!  Once a liar, always a liar, and the Bushies are no exception to this rule!  “Fool me once shame on you, fool me again shame on me!”  3 years of lies is more than enough to prove this administration is a failure, and we the American people are paying the price for their failures!

* * *

The winds of “pardon” are blowing in!  What do you want to bet George will do a repeat of Poppy and use his pardon powers or whatever else is in his presidential powers pocket to cover up the crimes that have been committed?  He must keep the American people from finding out all the dirty little secrets!  It will be more than astonishing if Scooter Libby ever faces a judge and jury of his peers!  Bush/Cheney and the whole gang can’t afford a public trial, because ALL the crimes that have been committed could be exposed!

* * *

Katherine Harris is taking crazy one step too far!  Invoking the name of God, "The Last of the Mohicans," and "Lord of the Rings" in an attempt to win votes has gone “one step beyond” the realm of sanity!  “Not knowing” the campaign contributions she accepted from a defense contractor were “illegal” at best show she’s incompetent, at worst goes to prove she’s right there up to her neck in the middle of all that’s corrupt in the Repuglican Party!  What is it with these “show me the money” Repuglicans, what is it that prompts them to say “God made me do it,” when they get caught with their fingers in the till?
