The whole worlds asks us, when are we going to do something about bush?
Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 05:56 AM by Philosoraptor
I wonder if 99% of us are on some sort of mind controlling dope, that causes temporary paralysis. The whole world is starting to get a bit aprehensive about our insane president and his boss, the insane dick cheney.



Hey Americans, wake up and smell the coffee and do something. PLEASE.
-------------------

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/IraqCoverage/wireStory?id=2795040

President Bush concedes he isn't popular, and that the war in Iraq isn't either. Yes, progress is overdue and patience is all but gone. Yet none of that changes his view that more U.S. troops are needed to win in Iraq.

"I'm not going to try to be popular and change principles to do so," Bush said in a television interview that aired Sunday night.

Digging in for confrontation, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney say they will not budge from sending more U.S. troops to Iraq no matter how much Congress opposes it.

"I fully understand they could try to stop me," Bush said of the Democrat-run Congress. "But I've made my decision, and we're going forward."

--------------------

.....WE'RE GOING FORWARD, into the most loathed pages of history.

1. We keep expecting Congress to do something about him but it will take more
It is going to take the We in We the People to do something. It is going to take massive uprisings in the US to stop the mad man and his court.

2. It just seems to me that he is not really trying to solve problems.
There is no sense he understands the world and its complexities. There is just this bull-headed drive to flex his power.

No dialog, no curiosity, no desire to help.

3. He is a brute.
Brutish behavior from a man who is supposed to be the most compassionate on Earth.

6. But there is an unquenchable desire to fully secure hundreds of billions of barrels of oil mostly
for the benefit of big oil companies. Hard to give up a multi-trillion dollar wet dream.

4. Cheney....what a dick,
"You cannot run a war by committee," the vice president said of congressional input. :wtf:

Exactly how has Bush's war in Iraq been run thus far? By a committee of Iraqis, neo-cons, oil barons and the occasional sycophant General looking to get another star. If THAT'S not a committee then I don't know what is. The committee question only applies if it's someone ELSE'S committee and not THEIRS, is that it?

They're so desperately trying to hold onto their PNAC agenda they're ignoring everything else, including the realaity of the situation.

Speaker Pelosi, PLEASE reconsider your stance on impeachment. It's the only hope for our country.

5. "Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney say they will not budge from sending more troops to Iraq."
do we have any guarantees that they will want to budge when their stolen term at the oval office is up?"

Why do i fear that they are going to tell us that they, "will not budge", from the oval office come January 2009?

we are stuck with two boulders who do not want to move from iraq, and i fear, do not want to be moved from the oval office, either.

8. Where are the ALARM bells and sirens?
I don't hear any at all, and that's the scariest part of all this madness, the fact that no one will do what must be done, stop these men.

7. What exactly can WE do?
We can't lynch the motherfucker. As much as some of us have talked about storming the WH with pitchforks and torches, it ain't going to happen. We've elected Democrats to power, now it's up to them to get BushCo out of office. All we can do now is put pressure on our elected leaders to do what we voted them into office for.

9. That is one deep question.
I think the answer is blowin' in the wind, but it's blowin' our way. I think bitching and moaning will manifest itself in real action before long, it has to, it simply can't go on like this.

17. I only wish we had the backbone to just overthrow the government.
There I said it, this won't be done until we find ourselves in a more threatening situation and we want to pull ourselves out.

These monsters have stated their case, they will not turn around, they are a threat to all of us.

10. The world is getting a crash course in abnormal psychology and American politics
A mentally ill president, a co dependent country.
And an oligarchy.

12.  And What Is "The World" Doing???
While some countries and leaders have been critical of this country's illegal invasion, the silence across the big pond and around the world is deafening.

Where are the resolutions denouncing the war in the UN? How about investigations in the Hague? They don't need us to start those things. By now there's enough evidence of lying and criminality and the world is still being bullied by this regime.

13. Perhaps we have a solution here ...
Reading this article, where the author puts the question of how Tony Bliar could change the world for the better.
Amongst the comments was the suggestion that Bliar's best move would be to suicide bomb the White House !
