First and foremost, the military brass owe their first allegiance to the soldiers who serve under them. If on the whims of madmen our sons and daughters are being sent needlessly without care and/or thought to their deaths, then the military leadership must speak out, otherwise you have the mess we are in now! Like two children arguing over a misdeed, he did it, no he did it, and the result in the end is no one bears responsibility for crazy. “I leave the decisions to the military generals on the ground”---“We were ordered to go to war ...” “You go to war with the army you have ...” It’s all bullsh*t, and in the meantime, it’s our sons and daughters dying in a senseless war based on the lies and the whims of madmen!

We have nothing to fear, but the fear mongers themselves, primarily George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, the Repuglican Party, and mainstream radical corporate media! They have sold a “fear” bill of goods to Americans, the likes of which has never been felt before. And they did it with all the psychological spin, arrogance, and downright lies that even the worst of the worst ad agencies wouldn’t produce! Don’t for even a minute expect it to stop in Iraq, they’ve been building this very expensive, vast coalition for years right here in America, with every intention of dominating the world!

Like it or not, believe it or not, as long as there is a Repuglican power base in place, America will continue down the same road as Germany pre-WWII! The Repuglicans in the executive branch of government depend on the Repuglicans in the legislative branch of government to cover any and all illegal activity both entities choose to undertake, and all the while the Repuglicans in the judicial branch are there to verify and validate whatever is being done to undermine Democracy in these United States! None of them will stop until there is a Third Reich in America, because that was the plan from its very beginning!

When George Bush finally realizes his excuses and his lies don’t work on the public anymore, the next thing we’ll be hearing from him will be, Aww, geez, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld made me do it! George Bush isn’t a stand-up, regular guy after all, he’s just a plain old downright liar!

“... then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him [Saddam Hussein]. And we did. And the world is safer for it.” Err, just in case you missed it while out riding your bike, the world is not safer, nuclear proliferation is on the rise and we have no one but you, your war in Iraq, and your abominable, arrogant bravado, George Bush, to thank for the horror of making the whole world a more dangerous place!

“TOOBIN: Prosecutors are supposed to go after big fish. It's those kind of prosecutions that tell everyone that it's not OK to lie to prosecutors or to the grand jury.” If that’s the case, then why in the world are mainstream corporate media giving so much air time to whether or not Barry Bonds lied? If it’s really “big fish” they want, why in hell aren’t they putting a concerted effort into reporting on the lies George Bush told, which, by the way, resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people as well as over 2300 American soldiers? Sounds like some more yada, yada, yada, cover-up snow jobs to take the spotlight off their boy George!

And through it all the war profiteers are cashing in on the “spoils of war”---oil is now up to $70 a barrel, translated into English that means higher prices for every American at the pump. And everyone thought oil would be more plentiful and cheaper once the Bushies controlled Iraqi oil! HA! Better dust off the walking shoes, because we’re all gonna need ‘em!

With an eye on the future of his financial well being, George Bush has done everything to protect his bank account, and his inheritance! No “misunderestimating” here, when it comes to money, this boy wonder is a whiz! Wage a war to make Poppy richer, cut out the inheritance tax, raid the treasury by lowering taxes in your tax bracket and reap the rewards. To all those “regular guys” out there, “regular guys” don’t have an estimated worth in the millions! A regular guy has to work for a living, no 3 hour bicycle rides included in a regular guy’s work day!
