4. Excuse me, but I think your not accurate in regards to Kerry !
He isn't backing this President, he's calling for him to get it right quickly (time is running out) and get us out. He isn't for permanent military bases and has said this war is making us less secure.

15. Blame the IWR and you let Bush off the hook. IWR would've PREVENTED war
if its guidelines had been adhered to honestly.

Blame the IWR and you play into Rove's spin that it gave Bush a blank check to do whatever he wanted.

It didn't.

It had guidelines.

Bush did not adhere to those guidelines and the media let him get away with it, while some Dems were pointing out that Bush was rushing into war without allowing the time necessary to properly implement the guidelines.

I am shocked that you never noticed that the country was spun into blaming the IWR and those Dems who voted for its guidelines, instead of Bush who should be impeached for not implementing the IWR honestly.

19. Exactly. ANY Dem would've allowed the inspectors to do their job FULLY.
ANY Dem, except Zell, would've worked the diplomatic angle FIRST.

No Dem president would've invaded after weapons inspectors said there was no need.

That's why it is so unfair to blame IWR. Unfair and DUMB, since it lets Bush off the hook for not implementing the IWR's guidelines.

6. There's a gammut on the masturbation policies they run, though.
I mean Bush believes in Iraq masturbation religiously, probably Lieberman does too. Then you have Kerry, who was against unilateral (without UN approval) masturbation, then said he had to support it once it started I think. Then Dean, who was firmly against the masturbation, but says we can't pull out now, that we've started then the very few who say "stop now"...Kucinich maybe? I dunno.

Reading what I just wrote, I actually realized that comparing this war to a circle jerk is in fact an insult to masturbation.

10. "I JUST love Bush's War!" or "give Iraqis their water and electricity back
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 08:07 AM by emulatorloo
There is a big difference which you conveniently paint over w that broad brush of yours. I don't know any Dems who are in love w Bush's war. However there do seem to be a few who are essentially saying "We fucked up Iraqi peoples lives so we need to fix the shit that idiot George Bush blew up for nothing."

11. You know, if you spent as much time working against Bush** as you do...
...whining about Dems, maybe we'd be out of Iraq by now.

Talk about a "jerk-off," what the hell is the purpose of a thread like this, except to spread disinformation?

NGU.

13. List of Democratic Leaders Who Support Bush's Masturbatory War

WHERE ARE WE GOING?
When America Murdered Its' Wife

The question everyone is asking is "Where is the United States going?" In order to answer that we have to establish where we have been and where we are now.

We are a nation made up of people from every country on earth. That is what makes us interesting. However, as time passes that is becoming the case in other countries also, like Canada which has a large immigrant population. So America is no longer unique in that respect.

It is the "melting pot" feature of America which made us the admiration of the globe. A melting pot "democracy" as it were-the endgame if all the world were to meld together, inter-marry even, and be one. "We are the world we are the children..." as it were… the dream scenario which was the founding basis for the United Nations.

So most countries of the earth had a "stake" in America as long as some of their people were represented here. For example, one of the reasons why we are not being attacked is that we have at least a somewhat substantial Muslim population here. Saudi Arabia is in bed with the Bush family of course and hasn't been given to go-ahead.

Saudi Arabia reigns supreme in the Middle East and they have substantial holdings in the New York Stock Exchange so they are not going to attack their own holdings unless instructed to do so.

It is puzzling that most of the suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudi's.

In the past we were respected for at least trying to do what was right. We tried to stand up for human rights. The world gave the American people a pass for our insensitivity because they know that we are basically spoiled, affluent, undereducated, and self-centered little kids over here. But we were well meaning-that is until...we murdered our wife.

When someone murders their wife they lose all respect from everyone. There is no going back. The deed is done. If you If you murder your wife by brutally slaughtering her you are even more despised or at least more disrespected. (Unless you are OJ Simpson-but so much for jury nullification).

The point is that America is now perceived by the rest of the world as "off the deep end", "out of control", "problematic", "irrational", "dangerous", "capable of great destruction", "something to be stopped", "something to be carefully controlled and watched", in short-a potential menace to the entire planet.

Why? Because polls were taken and the countries polled said America was



the greatest threat to their future stability in every way.

The real problem is that all of the above is true. We frightened the Chinese into acting when Clinton bombed their embassy in Yugoslavia during the Kosovo war. Remember? We destroyed Yugoslavia now still awash with depleted uranium. It still lies in shambles.

Since people don't just sit there when someone is out of hand and irrational, the Chinese took control of both ends of the Panama canal and have just informed us that if we screw around with them and with Taiwan in any major way, they will nuke us.

That didn't even make the nightly "news."! Our popular media is quivering with fear of the Bush administration. They are like trained dogs who fear starvation as punishment and they are terrified they will have their doggy dish (media access to the White House) taken away. And it would be taken away.

This is the leash that destroyed the American press. How easy it was to cut off the truth from the people. And the people, being fat, lazy and shopping, having little or no real interest in "politics", seem not to even have noticed that the Bush administration, the oily men from Texas, have been living off the fat of the land by tripling their gas prices. People just keep drivin and pumpin and drivin and pumpin and killin and pumpin.


Then we are doing the "Imperialist" thing with a boy idiot at the helm and that is confusing and frightening to the rest of the world. GEORGE BUSH WITH HIS FINGER ON THE BUTTON SCARES THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE...except Americans, and that is what scares the world, that Americans are brain dead and there is a mad cabal in charge of the nukes.

Now the mad-dog Bush cabal wants to put nuclear weapons into space and Halliburton wants to drill for oil (water--who cares it sounds lucrative) on Mars.

See: NASA AMES CENTER LOOKS AT PROBLEM OF DRILLING ON MARS, Petroleum News February 2001, Vol.6, No.2

"Halliburton and Baker-Hughes are working on some very advanced systems, Briggs said, some so advanced they are not willing to talk about them."

http://www.petroleumnews.com/pnarch/010228-49.html

They are completely and totally out of control. Who will stop these men who were always referred to in the first Bush administration as "those crazies"? Cindy Sheehan?


It is doubtful that Americans will have the will to do what has to be done. Everyone wants to hold on to what they have or they are lulled into thinking they are still safe because the malls still overflow with everything a person could want or need.

It turns out affluence is the opiate of the people as well as religion.

These are not opinions, they are facts. We have just slaughtered an entire country of innocent men, women and children in Iraq-for oil. We have destroyed 44,000 of our own kids-dead, maimed for life and wounded for oil. We did it in broad daylight in front of the whole world. Sorry, this time the beat will not just go on.

America has murdered its' wife and killed itself in the process. But, historically the cry for justice prevails.

In order to regain our reputation we must restore justice by holding ourselves accountable-Nuremberg style. We must hold the Supreme Court, the Executive Branch, the Congress and the Senate, and the Media-all the criminals accountable.

When Democratic Socialist Germany got became a murdering force, trials were held and it hung its' war criminals and regained its' world standing. Now we must hold trials and hang our war criminals or there will be hell to pay until we do. Either the criminals will prevail-or the people.

We need "The People of the United States v. George W. Bush" or prepare to perish.

Find out who your Congressman is or Senator and call him-her. Call people who can do something about it. Call at least 3 a day. If they are a household name-dump them.

16. I think you aren't showing a difference between those who support Bush's
execution of the war and those who supported the IWR that would have PREVENTED war through its guidelines if Bush had administered it honestly.

Not the same thing, yet the media has been able to spin even crusty cynics into buying into Rove's preferred storyline that the IWR was all Bush needed.

That way they don't have to worry about anyone noticing that Bush didn't follow the IWR's guidelines, and the Dems who voted for IWR become the targets.

24. Homeward Bound resolution
It doesn't call for immediate withdrawal. Nobody has a plan that does.

"The Homeward Bound Act, H.J. Res. 55, is a binding Resolution calling for President Bush to announce by the end of 2005 a plan for withdrawal from Iraq that would begin by October 1, 2006."

22. Is there an updated list?
Or are we taking count of who voted for a war before they knew the intelligence provided to them was deliberately false? I'd like a list of those who support the war NOW.
