Subj: Afghan Opium Production For the record, Afghanistan produces opium, not heroin. The raw opium is smuggled out of Afghanistan to Pakistan & India where some of it is processed into heroin, but most is processed into "base" - a precursor to heroin - to reduce the volume. The base is then shipped to Europe, Turkey, Mexico, & the United States where it is converted into heroin. Richard
A. Sattler Subj: President Kerry
A BuzzFlash Voter Subj: Powell mincing words? A few years ago, President Clinton was hammered unmercifully for his careful choice of words. It all depends on what the meaning of is is. It seems to me that now General Powell is making the same kind of careful sentence constructions. I quote from Australia's Harold Sun: US Secretary of State Colin Powell described reports of a US-backed coup as " absolutely baseless, absurd", and expressed concern that the claims could prompt trouble for US forces among Aristide supporters in Haiti, as the troops were trying to stabilize the situation. "He was not kidnapped," Mr Powell said. "We did not force him on to the aeroplane. He went on to the aeroplane willingly, and that's the truth." Probably true, but by the time he reached the airplane, he had accepted defeat. The coercion occurred earlier, before leaving the palace. A BuzzFlash Reader Subj: These men died for Bush and Cheney I've read this article and it is sad. These two men, plus Ashcroft have a horrendous record of military service...likely no one worse than Cheney. I hate it when he brags that he had better things to do....what young man didn't? All American young men had much better things to do that go to a war like VietNam!! The war in Iraq will someday be remembered the same way. My brother was from a town of 1200...wanted only to be a journalist...could not afford the tuition. Back then, there was no help for poor kids...my mother was left at the age of 34 with 6 kids to raise...it was hell! But, in the poorer sections of this country...this was the rule of the war.. for a town of 1200 people...two young men died in Viet Nam...that is strange and unsettling...they were both front line, machine gunners, slept and ate in Fox Holes, and for nothing. In the end, we lost ...the north took over the south...our men came home to a country who did not appreciate them...so, there are times I think that the ones who did not come home...may have been the better for it. It was horrible...I remember it like yesterday...and one day, always remember, the people who lose kids in this "stranger than fiction" war in Iraq....are going to be feeling the same thing! Shirley............St.Louis Subj: I am So confused Yesterday on Cspan I watched, Colin Powell tell how all the jobs going to China was helping the people to see how democracy works and in time they would want to be free. Then on Cspan2 I watched a debate in the house on a resolution to poor mouth China on their Human rights violations. According to this debate the Human Resources Department is the police. If a plant, in one of their prisons need help, the police will pickup the correct number and after a brief torture to assure cooperation, and a confession, you are taken to court where you receive a sentence of however long is needed. When they are questioned the leaders will say all is now correct, turn a couple loose, and return to business as usual. Yet America continues to do business with them while pretending it doesn't happen. I always thought China was a communist country, sounds like the republicans to me. Slaves doing the work for free and the guys at the top getting all the breaks. Where is the showing of how democracy works and why would the people want any part of it? Is this possibly a view of the future of America if the republicans/liars continue in the White House? T Brown Subj: yikes! to the un and media this is from an article in the wash. times
this does not sound like a man free to do as he wishes to us! a buzzflash reader Subj: Mary! Mary! Regarding, Mary MacElveen's recent letter-to-the-editor encouraging the capture of Osama and the conjunctive defeat of Resident Bu$h: all I can say is that this feistily literate progressive " politica" from Long Island is no less than the Grandma Moses of current journalistic activism. BRAVO!!! Daniel Samek It is good to be home and catch up on the Buzz pages...March 1 and 2. I came from the land of JEB...Jacksonville, Fla. I must admit that it is a beautiful state...all the shoreline and the beaches......but much too close to Brother Jeb!! There was no sun while we were there, 3 days, but the sun came out on our way home...to St. Louis?? Go Figure! I have a strange feeling, after reading the Jax newspapers, that this is a strong democratic town!!! I am sure I could not live without this web page for a week!! To Mike in Raleigh...thanks for your kind words...I love every post I read on this page and I read them over and over...we have the most astute bunch of writers on any website! To Philosipherjay....You are so right about the Donahue show. I never missed it...the simple answer is, he was anti-Bush, when the country was worshipping at his feet as some great protector...Phil spoke his mind about the whole thing, and got canned for it! Denis A.....I cannot wait for the Bush/Giuliani ticket, if it comes to pass. I have much stored up knowledge to feed to my Republican friends and relatives. After the bashing of our last elected president....and the way he was treated, investigated for 8 years for nothing but a moral slip....costing us 80-90 million...just wait...See how the republicans like to have a president in charge of vice, which is what Giuliani would be. His wife, Donna Hanover, comes out one day to announce to the world that they were divorcing, he was seeing another woman.. However, aforesaid Ms. Hanover, would not leave Gracie Mansion, which the taxpayers of New York have to pay for. So, they lived separately in the mansion, with their two small children, until Rudy wanted his lover to live there, also. This went on, long before the divorce was enacted....until a Judge (at Hanover's request) ordered Rudy to never have his lover and the kids in the house at the same time. (This idiot became a hero after 911) Rudy was, finally seen at the New Year's Eve show, in Times Sq., high up, kissing the Lover...they are now married...and no one knows where they live, or cares!!!!! Sort of the Tim Hutchinson, New Gingrich, Grandfatherly old Henry Hyde...etc, etc, blah...blah! Hypocritical republicans can never see the idiocy in "it is okay if we do it....but, do not let a dem slip just slightly!" Turk Meister...I sometimes think the Degree that Bush has from Harvard...and his honorable discharge...come from the same "Mill" that come from the under the table -- "diploma mills" of old!!! And to whom it may concern, regarding Mike Barnacle....wasn't he the one who was fired from a Boston Paper for Plagiarism?....I am quite sure he was...and the next week, he was on the "Fair and balanced" Fox net!! I read that we won one, albeit a small one, but we did get the best of the Wayne Lapieres of this world....he is an unreal person, who thinks he has the rep. party tied up neatly...but, there are some republicans who do not like Ak-47s in our schools. So, I loved it that that legislation stopped them! And, I am still trying to figure out what happened to Aristide....I have been for three days without real news..so , is he going to be like BinLadin.?? Who knows...most of us democrats think that BinLadin will show on or about October 1st. through Nov. 1st...and they think that is not fishy??? (Yawn!!) I am so looking forward to the election...looks as if we do have an edge right now, I fear that the republicans do not even like Bush any more....poor Bushie!!! KERRY/?....VS...CHENEY/BUSH... RUNNING FOR THE FIRST TIME....THEY NEVER REALLY WON AN ELECTION...AND THE SUPREME COURT WILL LIKELY IMPLODE IF THEY TRY RUNNING INTERFERENCE AGAIN!! Shirley....................St.Louis Subj: Gay Marriage I am puzzled by Bush's idea that "the majority of the people" or legislatures, and not the judiciary, should decide on gay marriage. I am over 50 now, and when I was in school I was taught that one of the purposes of courts and our judiciary was to protect the rights of minorities from the prejudices of the majority. This was certainly the philosophy behind the courts' anti-segregation rulings in the Civil Rights' era South. During the 1950s if "the people" and "the legislatures" in the South had been left to decide the matter, we might still have segregation. It seems clear to me that gays are a minority and their rights need protecting from the prejudices of the majority. This protection must, according to historical precedent, come from the courts. I am wondering why I have heard no one--including the Dems--articulate this argument. Sincerely, A Loyal BuzzFlash Reader A Letter to Murdoch-owned NY Post re Kerry and the 70s, 80s Dear Mr Johnson, Saw the Post's piece trying to slime Kerry over who he dated in the 80s. Thought you'd be interested to know that whatever dirt you try to bring out about 15, 20 or 30 years ago will inevitably lead people to ask this question: "What was Great-Hero-of-the-Carrier-Landing Bush doing at that very same time?" Your answer: Bush was sprawled out drunk on the floor, crashing from a cocaine high. Expect you'll get tired of trying to create slime from the past real soon. Perhaps you should focus more on scandals of the present and the future. You know--like "why is it Bush pulled back the EPA's post-9/11 report that the air quality was a threat to children, pregnant women, and old people and instead told everyone they were safe, and didn't have to take extra measures, thus condemning who knows how many New Yorkers to an early death and ill-health." Now there's something that would help New Yorkers--yourself included, don't you think? Thanks for you time. Jim P Subj: Mubarek's warnings... Dear BuzzFlash: Mr. Scott's letter brought up an interesting memory to me of my calling CNN to let them know I had seen on their crawler where Mubarek had warned the United States of the impending attacks. This was in the winter of 2002 when it appeared at the bottom of the screen for at least two days. I had asked the woman on the other end of the phone if she would please bring it up to someone who might mention on the air the fact that Mubarek had said he had warned us. Obviously she took me to be some sort of kook, and very pleasantly said, "Thank you"...and hung up..... ....I feel just as exasperated now as I did then!.... Mary in Indiana Subj: Cluster bombs, napalm and uranium tipped shells Dear BuzzFlash, Every debate I watched, and every forum held on Iraq, I used to anticipate mention of the illegal use of cluster bombs, napalm and uranium tipped shells, and have never heard any of the speakers mention any one of them. Each of the items is outlawed. Each of the items has caused and is probably still causing not only death and disfigurement, but promises to maim, kill and destroy the inhabitants of Iraq for many years to come - and I am including our own GIs, who have breathed the uranium, and now have radiation in their bodies - to visit mutations on their own babies, and illness to the GI, who will be discharged as soon as the problems are evidenced, so that the DoD will not have his medical expenses to bear. Nor have I heard any indignation about our GIs being charged for their meals while recuperating in any one of the hospitals under US control. That, to me, is a shocker. I understood that GI meant Government Issue, so would that not mean that as he/she belongs to the military, the DoD has the responsibility of feeding and caring for each 'possession'. Those poor GIs. Giving all they have to give and being treated worse than dogs - poor food, poor quarters, poor care, and now losing the pittance they get as pay to feed themselves. I want these issues to be dealt with seriously, instead of the cosmetic issues raised repeatedly by questioners. We all have to become informed of what is really going on, and we have to all be together in any action we take to rid our White House of the coup. Remember the Danes when Nazis ordered jews there to wear the yellow star - it was suggested that all the citizenry, including the royal family wear the star - and we should all be acting in concert in future. Are they going to mow down the whole citizenry? Please post this - I want people to begin talking about these very important issues... Thank you Buzzy, you are our shining light. ...Veronica Subj: Iraq
Rosamond Subj: Steady leadership in times of change President Bush. Steady leadership in times of change." A steady hand on the wheel of the Titanic is nothing to boast about. "I know exactly where I want to lead this country." I'm afraid I do too. It's even further into an economic desert of massive deficits and tax cuts for the wealthy. It's more reckless use of military power as a tool of foreign policy. It's deeper into an America where the government fights hard to deprive citizens of basic freedoms to "protect" freedom. Bush is as steady as a train heading for the edge of a cliff. I say jump while we can still save ourselves. Albert Clark, NY Subj: How 'Bout it, Mr. Kerry? So Greenspan thinks we need to cut Social Security benefits and other citizen entitlements, yet we should make tax cuts for the super rich permanent. He makes no mention of endless, expensive war, corporate welfare, offshore tax schemes, and wasteful government spending (especially the Pentagon). http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/editorial/outlook/2430482 Mr. Greenspan has definitely dipped into the neo-conservative Kool-Aid. Question is: Does John Kerry have the guts to point it out and call for Greenspan's removal? Mike Kress First I would like to say that BuzzFlash has it together, as my grandkids like to say. Now, if we could only get Howdy Dowdy to do the same. BuzzFlash, thank you for keeping us all informed over the past 3 years. I have two questions I'd like the readers to think about and hopefully comment on. 1. How many of you remember bush saying that ''Iraq will rebuild it's country with the oil they produce?'' and ''That the American tax payer will not have to pay a cent for the rebuilding?'' Was I dreaming this or was it just wishful thinking? Or does someone out there recall the dunce saying this? 2. What happens if the bush cartel decides their not going to give up the White House. After all he wasn't elected in the first place so how are we going to 'Un-elect' him?? Think about these two questions friends and neighbors. I hope you will comment on them yourselves. Thank y'all very much..... Wally Re: BuzzFlash Has No Paid Advertising, Just You! You're so right...I'm a 65 yr.old retired librarian/prof/teacher who after turning 50 as a single mom found herself overqualified and underemployed as either a 4 diem librarian under one year contracts or an adjunct prof with no benefits or sub teacher with low salary, even though I was legally certified in 4 areas with 2 masters' degrees. My s.s. and pension is so low, I must get lifeline to have a phone, go to food kitchens to eat when property taxes are due on my (farm/home) mortgage, etc. Just want to THANK YOU for keeping me in touch and I pray for my country back! Lois Hurley FREUDIAN SLIP? I was just now reading a transcript of an online chat session hosted by a writer for The Washington Post yesterday and came across an interesting typo, if that was what it was, where he used the term Eganglical Republicans. Perhaps he meant to say evangelical Republicans, but "gang" does, indeed, seem appropriate. Could it be that his subconscious was speaking through his fingers? Sharon Andrews Subj: Remember How Senator Wellstone Died 16 months ago, Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota was killed in an "aircraft accident" just days before his re-election to the US Senate. The result of this death was that control of the US Senate went from the Democrats to the Republicans. Wellstone died only a week after Cheney had threatened Wellstone. If anyone thinks that Bush and Cheney are going to allow Sen. Kerry or anyone else to win this election, they are sadly mistaken. Bush is just as ruthless now as he was 16 months ago, and the stakes this time are not just control of the US Senate, but the presidency itself. BuzzFlash Reader Subj: Please inform or remind your readers..... I purchase premiums often from you and they arrive no sooner than I click the 'confirm' button on the order! While you mention that you "charge a little more than Amazon", I think it is important that you inform and/or remind your readers that your shipping is free! {if mailed in the U.S. - and the service is amazingly speedy} Thank You again for being here for us ~ and know that you are greatly appreciated!!! Moriah Mattingly Jones Who would you rather have in the foxhole with you? Kerry or Bush? A BuzzFlash Reader Subj: Kerry 20 yrs ago, + Ritter Interview Dear BuzzFlash In today's New York Post there's another slime item about Kerry in 1980--seems an ex-girlfriend is now married to a big cheese at the Times. I think the Bushiters will shut up about 15, 20, or 30 years-ago news if the point is made that 15, 20, 30 years ago George W. Bush was sprawled out on the floor drunk, crashing from his cocaine high. Bounce that back at 'em for a month or so, and we won't be hearing any old news from them after that. Also here's location to get a PDF for a Feb 26 Scott Ritter interview: http://www.traprockpeace.org/scott_ritter_25feb04.html Jim P Subj: Edwards shows class Hats off to John Edwards, for bowing out of the race with style & class ... unlike a certain pissy Vermonter (whom I had supported). KERRY/EDWARDS IN 2004! Rand March Subj: po po pitiful me......... JESUS CHRIST! I JUST SAW CHRIS MATHEWS ON HARD BALL SHOW ONE OF BUSH'S NEW COMMERCIALS.... I DAMN NEAR FELL OFF MY CHAIR LAUGHING! :):) HE BLAMED EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN EXCEPT AN INVASION OF SPACE ALIENS FOR THE SHAPE OUR COUNTRY IS IN.:):) POOR POOR THING, THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN PICKING ON BUSH FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS. THEN HE SAYS HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO TO FIX ALL OUR PROBLEMS....YEA, WELL HE HAS HAD THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO DO IT, WHY HASN'T HE? :):) POOR POOR PICKED ON GEORGE. :):) DA IN FL Subj: Constitutional Amendments Hi BuzzFlash, Enjoy reading Mailbag. Agree with D. Chapman 3/3/04 The attempt to alter the constitution to ban gay marriage is also a Trojan horse to open further amendments to allow more amendments to allow foreign born (think AHNOLD) to run for president. I think there is something behind allllllllllllllllllll this coverage about gay marriage. Keep bombarding us with this and then everybody and their brother then thinks this is a pressing issue. Somehow I think allllllllllllllllllll of us are being manipulated with our thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY? WHY? Where is the coverage on the real issues - talking about human rights - how about The American Indians? Take care, Mary Subj: Liberals Like Christ Fellow Buzzers, If you are looking for bible references to beat any obnoxious, self-righteous republicans at their own game, check out liberalslikechrist.org. Great site. Very comprehensive rebuttal against their whole, damned holier-than-thou greed driven philosophy. A BuzzFlash Reader why in the world don't the democrats hit bush with the fact that he will only grant the 9-11 commission ONE HOUR, AND ONLY IF HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE UNDER OATH. A BuzzFlash Reader Subj: Compassionate Conservatives? Dear BuzzFlash: Conservatives take the word oxymoron to it's superlative when they proudly coin themselves "compassionate conservatives." Where is the compassion in a party that thrusts children into the streets by taking their housing grants? They proclaim to be the party of family values and then impose neglect on children who's parent(s) have to work two or more jobs to make ends meet because they have been yanked off of public assistance. Or how about the millions of people who have no health insurance because they cannot afford it and they do not qualify for medical assistance due to the republicans who stingily took money from that program to fund $87 billion for Iraq and to hand tax giveaways to the richest echelon of society. Then there is the elderly woman who must choose between food and prescription medication since Medicare won't pay for her drugs. Where is the compassion for lower-income high school students attempting to better their lives with a college degree but are turned away after the conservatives stripped funding for Pell grants? Lest we forget anyone, there are the drug addicts who cannot obtain treatment-oh wait, since Rush Limbaugh has now been exposed as an oxycontin junkie I guess they will be forced to restore funding for that treatment. Then again maybe not, after all he has the money to pay for the best treatment possible so he doesn't need less than adequate state-funded programs. Oh well, too bad for them. My point is that despite their self-proclaimed label, conservatives only have compassion upon those who belong to the dwindling group of "haves" who perceive that they will become have-nots if the liberal politicians have their way. Patricia Schoenberger Subj: BUSH'S HANDIWORK IN IRAQ - OVER 250 IRAQI'S KILLED Dear BuzzFlash I was appalled to see the pictures of the carnage in Iraq which has claimed the lives of over 250 during their holy day of Ashoura. Why are most americans indifferent to this tragedy? Would it have made a difference if it was 250 american lives? It seems easy for the Bush regime to shrug off these attacks and blame "terrorists from outside Iraq", but the reality is if Bush had not invaded Iraq and made a mess of things, Iraq will not be having suicide bombers kill and maim their people. Saddam was a tyrant, but he was able to keep these terrorists away. Every time I see innocent Iraqi's being killed or wounded I tell myself that what I am looking at is BUSH'S HANDIWORK. I am also preparing myself to have a few good laughs when the Bush/Cheney campaign launches their ads. Folks, you will think you are dreaming when you watch these ads showing that everything is hunkydory in this nation, and that he has been this wonderful president who has done SO MUCH for this country. You have to be very simple minded to be taken in by this garbage. Their plan seems to be to show ads depicting Bush as this great leader (a long stretch of the imagination), and then when his poll numbers rise, they will launch their usual smear and fear ads about Sen. John Kerry. What a despicable lot we have in the white house. A BuzzFlash Fan Subj: What We Should All Say About the Next Election. Dear Buzz: I am going to tell people that I believe that John Kerry is going to be the next president. I think the only way that Bush will win the next election is to steal it like he stole the last one. Then if we start telling people that now, it will make it much harder for Bush to win the next election, except through dishonest means. Because Kerry is really a great presidential candidate! George Bush is so bizarre, he belongs on Ripley's Believe It Or Not. So I am going to tell people what I think, starting now. I hope you do the same. Thanks. Irene Subj: Make Up Your Mind Hey BuzzFlash, Make up your mind. Was it Ralph Nader, with his 38% registered Democratic constituency, who stole the 2000 election in Florida, or was it Bush operatives and the Supremes? Was it Nader that persuaded the Democratic leadership to capitulate without a fight, or was it the Kerries, Edwardses, Liebermans, and Clintons of your party? You rail against the Democratic establishment, but you don't seem to recognize that that energy is what propelled Nader to take on the DLC and it's corporate Republicanesque corruption. If it wasn't for Nader, you'd never have Dean. And if it wasn't for Dean, Kerry, Edwards, Lieberman and the rest would still be sounding like little Ws. Even after Dean they still try to justify their "nuanced" support for Hitlerian "Enabling Acts" and unconstitutional "wars" of "preemption." It would be funny if it weren't so depressing. Your foaming-at-the-mouth hatred for Nader and his supporters is disconcerting. If you truly cared about democracy, rather than your own partisan politics, you'd be arguing for a four-way debate between Nader, Bush, the Dem nominee and whoever is going to represent the disenfranchised on the right instead of the manufactured two-way "debate" put on by the private, jointly controlled, "Republicrat" corporation that produces the "Presidential debates," and thus the entire process. As a recent article in the Austin Chronicle stated, "Ralph Nader has long since earned the right to run for president any damn time he pleases." There are plenty of disenfranchised non-voters for which the left can compete, so isn't free competition within the marketplace of ideas for the best? What's really funny is that your newly crowned nominee, Kerry, is an acknowledged secret society brother to three generations of Bushes. Ever heard of Hegelian dialecticians? That's too embarrassing to print, so just keep blaming Nader's ego. I'm a former Republican that voted Nader, and while I was excited to see the Dean movement (even contributing early in January 2003) and I could certainly vote for Kucinich, I'm considering going for Nader again on principle. After all, have you looked at Kerry's advisors - Richard Morningstar, Rand Beers and William Perry? This is the same Condi Rice/Carlyle Group crowd that advocates our continued hegemonic expansion in Eurasia. So a few domestic policies will differ under Kerry, and maybe the foreign policy tact will improve, but Kerry just seems to be cut from the same cloth that clothes our naked emperor - secret elitism, banking, energy and military-industrialists. You'll recall that Kerry, seeing the same intel that Kucinich saw, declared that Iraq had WMD. Bush and Kerry lied, our soldiers and many Iraqis died. Your faithful postpartisan reader, Jeremiah
Patoka Subj: Raise money for Kerry....anyway you can...It is our last chance Think about this...... How much would you give to get rid of Bush? How much would you spend if it could be guaranteed that Bush would be ousted? Well, we have to start raising money to send to Kerry. Sell unwanted crap on E-Bay. Have a yard sale. Take a part time job. Save all of your change. Rob a bank. Whatever! Start sending money to Kerry. Skip a lunch. Don't buy that blouse or jacket. Send in all that money. Pledge a certain amount each month or each week. Quit cigarettes. Quit drinking for Kerry. Do whatever you can to get rid of that fascist and his goosesteppers. Take out a loan. A lot of us could probably scrape up $2000. Then challenge your friends and neighbors. It would be our best investment ever. It is either get rid of Bush or have to leave the country. Unfortunately we can't leave the world. Alice Subj: Why So Little On Haiti??!! CBC Asking for Full congressional hearings Urgent Alert: U.S. Led Coup in Haiti ?
Elizabeth Subj: Electronic Voting Surprisingly, I'm starting to see and read a few news stories in the mainstream media about the dangers posed by electronic voting. On CNN, they even quoted the CEO of Diebold who declared that he wanted to get votes for Bush. I thank BuzzFlash for keeping up a steady barrage of stories about this issue. I must confess that when I first started hearing about it, because I am not overly adept with my own computer knowledge, I didn't quite grasp what the issue was. Well, the message subsequently came through to me, loud and clear. We definitely have to get out in front on this one. If the voters in general grow suspicious about whether their votes will be counted, then we might see a remedy for this problem. Donald P. Russo, Betrhlehem Pa I am writing this letter to thank BuzzFlash, and all the other alternative media. I thank all the readers who have been writing letters and demonstrating against those who would hijack the government for their personal gain, and those who would impose their narrow versions of "morality" while robbing us of our lives' savings and Constitutional freedoms. Former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers has been indicted. This is the "born again" hypocrite whose "aggressive accounting"(formerly known as fraud) torpedoed the pensions of 20,000 Ohio Firefighters and millions of others. This is the sanctimonious wee troll who opened executive meetings with a prayer. They were undoubtedly praying something like," Please God - let us get away with this." Unfortunately, our work is just beginning. Our country is being run by a shadowy corporation known as The Carlyle Group. Dick "Emperor Boy" Cheney's grim picture of decades of wars for the USA makes much more sense when one considers that the Bush family, James Baker, et.al. stand to rake in incredible amounts of cash. Carlyle Group tells the politicians who the enemies are, and the young men and women of the world's armies bleed and die for the profits of Poppy Bush and Babs "beautiful mind" Bush. Everyone should see the film @ www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3995.htm. This is why we are attacking other countries.This is why we are sacrificing our young soldiers and killing thousands of people all over the world. The first two minutes of the film are in Dutch, so be patient. This film illustrates why the power of corporations needs to be broken; anti-trust rules need to be instituted and enforced. And the guilty are in need of speedy trials and long,long prison sentences to high security federal prisons - even if some of the guilty are ex-presidents. Michael J.Fowler Subj: Bush, He ain't that good! Has it ever occurred to any one out there in reality that BUSH is batting 1000? It is a baseball term or hitting safely at every at bat. This now for the past 3 years of his administration. It defies everything we know to be true. He got Arnold after the recall, he got his senate for the Iraq war, he got the iraq war, he got the 87 BILLION to give back to Halliburton. It makes no sense. And today he is going to California to stand next to Gov. Groper (Schwhater is too hard to spell) and congratulate him on winning the "votes" to help his new spending initiative to balance the budget. I know more people out there have noticed this. Could he have been scheduled to stand next to Gov. Groper after a loss? We are being had people. Everything is smoke and mirrors. They are just doing enough to MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. What about Jessica Lynch, what about the Saddam Statue, what about the Saddam "capture". These are very scary times. What did Cheney say "THIS IS OUR DUE". People that are relying on their DUE are relying on some dirty dealings to GUARANTEE that due. I finally got a chance to think back when Bush lost. It was at the UN on the Iraq resolution to go to war. Oh, and the failed Venezuela coup. The world community cannot be had by this FRAUD of a president. We are dealing with a very sick man if he cannot stomach losing. And we know what happened when the results came in from Florida that he'd lost his brother's state. every excuse from VNS typing, to chads, to voter roles, to butterfly ballots. I think Bush needs to start losing cause he ain't that good. Besides it would be fun to watch him totally break down on live television. PJOnes |
