CLIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!
as i'm sure this is old news to those of
you with better means of global news....
THIS JUST PISSES ME OFF!!!!
there is grave danger here....
here is a man... *cough*elected*cough* to
run this country based on the views of the
people of this country.
the comments made by bush in the commentary
are no different than any other crazed
suicidal dictator ever born.
no longer is the horse pulling the cart...
the cart pulls the horse.
we are being dragged into MAJOR history, folks.
the other day, when i read about the protests,
i wanted so very to come here and post about
how similar this iraq incident is like that
of vietnam... but i felt closed-mouth because
i felt it wasn't my place to compare the
actions of vietnam to current issues.
the precious, hyprocritical free world stood
aghast when saddam won election by unanimous
vote.... some, like alex, found this as a
strategic maneuver for political dominance...
maybe so.
but when that muther fucker bush said:

Just so you're aware Alison..
It's politics...
everything is always "history" in the making..
and everyone is always "wrong"
I hate political threads, cuz personally, I couldn't give two shits about that stuff. *shrugs*
when I see stuff like this, people getting pissed about it... I think to myself "gee, that could be you, but you dont care. You're such a dick."
*shrugS*
let it go!
-
the fact that many people see current events as
history in the making is the main motivation
for current events in themselves.
it should alarm you that your current president
isn't giving two licks about popular opinion...
-
I dont normally voice an opinion on anything political..but i have to say..i didnt vote for bush..he has to do what his daddy couldnt do..kick saddam's ass....and well..quite frankly im sick of our government fighting everyone elses battles...we need to bring every single one of our armed forces home..from every single county..all of them..and fight our battles here...we need to take care of america first and formost..instead of fighting for everyone else..look to our own people....i know we need things from other countries..but does it have to be at our peoples expense...our factories are closing..our ppl are suffering..our children are growing up in a world unlike anything we will ever know..i have always said i beleived in God..and George Bush is NOT him..lord have mercy on the rest of us..after Bush is done ruining lives..what will we have...nothing...nothing but him saying..i did it dad..i did what you couldnt..i beat him..i won..bullshit..stick a cigar up his ass and light it..thats about the only thrill that man deserves..
okie..all done..i feel better now.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

bwaaaaahahahhahha, that rocked!
(yes... i DID laugh)
at first, my aggitation for bush was merely trivial
banter... blah blah blah here, more blah blah there.
what bothers me most is bush's obvious lack
of regard for what the people are trying to tell
him. it really does kinda bother me that we are
about to go into a MAJOR world war with nothing
but 2 other (small) countries. ok, britian isn't
that small... but i have doubts that britian
will go the distance. and the padded efforts
with turkey really make me nervous.
allowing turkey to be supplied US weapons (in a
decision that took just a few days to make)
kinda bothers me.......... oh... just a tad.
have we even forgotten about north korea in this
mess?? jesus christ! these folks are building
bombs! its a perfect set-up for iraq/n.k. against
the US... this is highly dangerous...
even if we overlook turkey as aide... (which
we should do by default)... we certainly aren't
clever (or strong) enough to counter them.
i understand that many people believe that we
are invincible (tsk tsk)... 9-11 shoulda taught
us otherwise... but there is really no telling
what the effects of dumbass bush is going to do.
we have a lot of enemies....
many we don't even see at present...

i do not feel we are in this mess over oil.
originally, oil was an issue... but bush decided
to use american supply instead of risking further
problems with the middle east resources. (how
is that 'plan' going, btw? are we still using USA
oil?? anyone know??)
gas prices sure are high....... [img]redface.gif[/img]
anyways...
had al gore become rightful president, i'm sure
there would be much more diplomacy... rather
than hells-bells dick knocking.
the bush sr. comment is true. however, i do recall
a moment when we were hunting him down... and
he went into hiding within his own country...
well after the kuwait. but that was at the end
of the term... and the show must go on...
what i can't seem to figure out is...
this 'war' waaaaaaaaaas supposed to be about 9-11,
unless i'm mistaken, which means we weeeeeeere
looking for osamammabammamaa.... but then the
course changed to saddam...and has stayed steadfast
on that course...
wtf happened to the KILL OSAMAMMABAMMAMAA entertainment?

I think Bush and I would make good friends... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
He's being alot more reasonable then I would. I'd just bomb the whole Middle East, and if anyone had words to say by me doing this, I'd bomb them too. However, that's just me, thank god for Bush huh?
Try to keep in mind, 3000 people died because the terrorists had no fear. He's just putting the fear back in them... And if that means kickin’ some Iraqi ass, so be it. Better them then us. Don’t ya just love free speech?

I still stand my ground..we need to worry about us..our people..i see some great points being made tho..

gary....
the 9-11 thing wasn't a result of 'saddams people'...
and nothing personal butta... 3000 dead, civilian
americans ain't gonna stack up to shit when you
consider the global cost of civilian lives during
this emminent war.
and i think it is obvious that bush wants to
bomb them regardless.... which was the point
i was trying to make with this post.... and
have been trying to make for several months now.
and as for the 'no fear' cliche... in case you
missed that lovely flash i posted a few weeks ago,
only 7% of a war's deaths are actual military...
thiiiiiiiiiiiiink
-
I'm gonna go slightly off subject here, because I think my opinion is the only one that matters... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
But would you consider the fact that Bush has to keep pussy footing around with the U.N., As the U.N. being a central government of the world... Like the U.N. has the power to control the world. If so, we might be in some serious shit.
I'm talking about biblical nightmares here, you know the whole wrath of god stuff. I remember reading about some woman that wanted, or had a clone son of her dead husband or something... Wouldn't that be kinda like the body of the husband raising from the dead? This is not good people... Perhaps a war with Iraq might be a bad idea.
This is the kind of stuff that can make it hard to sleep at night. Next thing you know, stars could be falling and rivers could be turning to blood...
The 7 Seals
1 - White Horse - It's rider held a bow, and was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
2 - Fiery Red Horse - It's rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a sword.
3 - Black Horse - It's rider was holding a pair of scales in his hands. "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
4 - Pale Horse - Its rider was named Death, and Hades following close behide him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
5 - The souls of those who had been slain because they believed in the word of God - Each were given a white robe, and waited until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
6 - Great Earthquake - The sun turned black, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from it's place. Every man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb!"
7 - Silence in Heaven - This one's really long, read it yourself...

the reason saddam wanted kuwait in the first place was because the british had taken it from iraq, cutting off not only access to the oil there (which the british wanted) but also direct access to water. before saddam invaded kuwait, he was told by April Glaspie, a US ambassador, that the US had "no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait."
the day before the invasion of kuwait, the bush administration approved the sale of $395,000,000 worth of advanced data transmission devices to iraq, just one item in the 1.5 billion dollars of advanced technology that both the reagan and bush administrations sold to saddam from 1985 to 1990. why doesnt bush just say, "we know you have weapons of mass destruction, didnt you notice the 'made with american pride' logos on the bombs?"

who needs to own a country when you can simply install a dictator that will do what he is told because he knows that if he doesnt, his supplies will be cut off, and, if the government deems it necessary, overthrow him so that he will be replaced by another that will do the job correctly? just look at the US's involvment in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Panama for a few examples. the government doesnt give a damn about global democracy or human rights, in fact, those would be seen as a great harm to the capitalistic system. and if you check the background of many in the bush junta you will find ties to large oil firms.

yeah... what was that?
that war must be declared through a majoral vote
from some cabinet (or was it congress??).... and
that no president shall declare war unless the
votes approve it?
and wasn't it something that the last war that
was declared following the rules of the constituation
was WWII?
i may have screwed that up.

War is good for the economy. People do not think about how the economy is when there is war. Our economy is slow. The war that will result from the actions that are being taken from out "elected" president will kill many people. But the economy will benefit. That is all that matters. I am going to die. You are going to die. We will all die so that the war pigs can be elected again. Once the war starts, Bush will make it last as long as possible. We will never actually declare war, but it will be a war. Bush may be the last president of the united states.

pnssucker is an example of the typical brain dead republican.. hmm "just think if the other guy was in office" wow that would be scary.
Then many politicians wouldnt be making speaches everyone can laugh at.. bringing us out of our hurting economy by making those essential SUV's 75000 dollars cheaper at the tax payers expense. There's a lifesaver for the american people!!!
Or leading us into wwIII good point pns.. thank god we have that moron in the whitehouse.. thanks for putting things into perspective..

Is this board filled with apathetic "we're all doomed anyway so fuck it i dont care about anything.. i mean all government is corrupt.. they're all evil.. why are we even here" types and
"Lets bomb those fuckers and anyone who criticizes us for it!!!!
shit talking about the two most annoying types of people in this world..
I realize shatzys and blazes were more balanced but come on.
oh then there are the idiots to point to things that aren't there. Yes we're having a bad time here.. but its a proven fact if gore won we'd all be dead..------> shows site. yes bush might end up killing thousands of people while he's safe in a bunker in colorado but.. CLINTON did lewinsky!!!!!!!
then theres me who just thinks everyone should keep their opinions to themselves so they dont piss me off.. especially the type that would rationalize bush indeed was intelligent to implement the 75 thousand dollar suv tax deduction because yes.. it would allow some company to buy a high tech architectual thingy. or however bush put it so eloquently...

oh btw the daddy thing is more than finishing what bush sr couldnt.
saddamm put a hit out on bush sr..bush jr has even commented on the fact the guy tried to kill his father.
I think the owning kuwait thing was a joke.. if thats your logic then you're really fucked.
I mean "why dont we own kuwait".. hmm didnt know it was for sale?
and is that like saying going we went to wwII for the beer? its that clear cut...thats right make a ridiculus analogy and people will say "true we didnt join WWII for beer therefore he's right.. it wasn't for oil". im pretty sure its an undisputed fact the main reason we went to war in WWII was the little pearl harbor incident... also some speculation on the depression and the economy.
But i guess your logic keeps doing its magic doesn't it?
I knew i disliked you for a reason.. go back to drinking your beer and being depressed idiot.
(btw i know from when he used to follow me around all the time.. talking about the NRA and the beauty when they're together with the christian coalition. so its more than just commenting on his comments here. He always has some stupid thing to say.. but always on the clear cut republican line.. he listens to the radio then forms his opinion when rush tells him which perspective to have..

i think there are a lot of good points/posts on
this thread.
i do wanna make a notation however...
my main point for posting the original link was
because i felt bush is behaving badly...
in as far as diplomacy towards our constitution
and 'democracy' is concerned.
i realize that bush isn't the first president
to act in accordance to totalitarianism....
but he is making graaaave problems for our
signature foundation of theory.
to ignore the public's opinion is to spit upon
democracy... and i find his impatience toward
diplomacy childish and crude.
i guess i see no difference in bush's actions/words
than that of saddams...
and to bring that lovely letter written (??) by osama
back up... he made relevent points about america
and how we handle world issues.

I agree war has been good for the economy in the past but on this war i heard somewhere it would be different.
I guess one reason being the raised prices in oil but i also think because of the fact its going to use a different type of weapon what traditionally helps the economy during war isn't going to happen in this one.
WWII of course brought the U.S. out of the depression but it created jobs because of the industry and stuff. I dont think this one will have the same effect. I haven't read anything on it so i dont really know though. And im not an economist.
Yeah gary that does look familiar.. course he follows me around and stuff so im not surprised.

hmm rotten. interesting and good points.
hmm shatzy. bush behaving badly is nothing new.

Quoted from the original article:
Bush said that the size of the protests against a possible U.S.-led war against Iraq was irrelevant.
"Size of protest, it's like deciding, 'Well I'm going to decide policy based up on a focus group.' The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security ? in this case ? security of the people."
------------------------------------
Sad to say, but this is the centerpiece of Republican thinking. Clinton used to be labeled an appeaser specifically for conducting "trial balloons" on issues of importance.
Bush Stole the election, and now he's stealing a war. Meanwhile, corporate embezzlers in the U.S. have stolen enough money to win 50 presidential campaigns. By tithing some of that to both candidates, you get the picture.
