Hey Don, I know you were in agreement & you were somewhat in jest but I did take it from elsewhere. Not only has what you're saying been sugar coated but it's been put a arms length & at a distance from us & the other untruths that they should properly be standing next to.
It's easier to see (& harder to swallow) the whole scope when all the facts & dots are connected. The media has complicity in aiding to continue this clouding of truths & half truths. As it stands now I don't think there's one politician that could speak on any topic telling the whole truth nor one news agency or mainstream correspondent that could or would report on it if a truth were to be told. All we have running this goverment are a bunch lously choices where we're only left with who's the lesser of 2 evils.


Presently we're "begging" the UN & others to help with Iraq. After we told them all to bugger off why should they or anyone else be paying a price for something they wouldn't buy in the 1st place. We don't have the policing capabilities, the man/women power, the money for just us to stay the full term, the will of the American public to continue watching the deaths of our soldiers (for, what's the reason, we seem to change this like a baby changes diapers) over a pack of lies & we never had the world or God for that matter on our side. This all has Bush's back to the wall with the elections right around the corner, he's gotta give somewhere if he even thinks he'd be a 2nd termer. In his road map to peace (he wanted a feather on this one for his Pap, sorry his hat) he forgot how fast the lanes change in the land of the drifting sands. Damn idiot couldn't make sense of a map never mind a blueprint even on his own ranch he keeps running into his own shit but he's no longer getting up & smelling like roses. Hell, he wouldn't know a short cut from a dead end much less his ass from his elbow.


There was a time when we could've been a contender. We could've been proud. We could've been seen as fair, helpful & just & above all we could've walked mighty tall if we had only taken our feet off the throats of others & given them our heart & hand instead. Where is the terror if you don't bleed other nations, if you don't starve the common people, if you don't stand by to watch death rein from the skies all for the sake of a few pennies & a few pills. Where is the terror, it's us (from Doombury, "we have just seen the enemy & it's us").


You sure got us into a mess this time Olie.
