Colin Powell is affiliated with Carlyle?  If that&#039;s so, then all questions are answered.  Disappointingly answered, but answered.  I am not surprised at Blair.  The man talks so well, but his purposes are questionable.</description>

		<description>Many of us grew up having seen The Wizzard of Oz. Half the population missed the part where the wicked witch was exposed as a fraud. That half are now the &#039;Believers&#039; of George Bush. Any rational and thinking person MUST have found it incredible to hear Colin Powell speak about Saddam&#039;s UAV program with pictures of a model airplane held together with duct tape. Admirals and Generals watching his presentation to the world must have been horrified. That was scarry projection at it&#039;s most absurd. For all of those out there that still have belief in anything Bush says, I suggest seeking psychological help.</description>

		<description>The salient points of this article, to me, are:
1) Bush KNEW virtually all of the facts contradicting his false 10/7/02 remarks when he gave those remarks.
2) There was ample PUBLIC knowledge, either of these facts, or of significant doubt about Bush&#039;s allegations PRIOR to the congressional votes in October 2002.
3) My senator, John Kerry, and all Members of Congress who gave the Pampered Fratboy a blank check will forever have blood on their hands and cannot be forgiven until they admit their vote was a gross mistake and apologize for this mistake.
4) Bush&#039;s fraudulent war is a grave crime against the nation and he should be impeached, no question.</description>

		<description># 81 Plunger: Yeah, that&#039;s also why Tony Blair is Georgie&#039;s little lap dog. When he&#039;s done screwing England he has a new contract to &quot;consult&quot; for The Carlyle Group starting at a half-million a year + benefits and options. We all know what that means. It sure is proftiable being a toadie these days.</description>

		<description>Darn it Smedley, you guys picked the same day as us. We thought Nov.10th would be the day where we would show our support for the War effort. We plan on showing this support by making sure we all makes it to work that day, even if we are a little ill. No car pooling either, weâ€™ll all be driving individual vehicles wherever possible. Oh yeah, and we will just keep doing this every day too, until you guys start to pay attention and listen to reason.</description>

		<description>I bet Colin Powell keeps asking himself over and over, &quot;Why did I do it? Why, why, why did I lie for that bastard? I trashed my whole career, my entire legacy and my integrity for George Bush.&quot;

I can only imagine what he goes through each and every day knowing that he was once considered the most trustworthy beaurocrat in America. That&#039;s what happens when you sell you soul. He could have been president if he really wanted to. Now, he&#039;s just going to fade away. Pity... for the likes of George Bush. That&#039;s a damn shame.</description>

		<description>War Protest - Nov 10 2005 Take a day off! â€“ Please Read

If you feel, as the majority of Americans and people throughout the world do, that the war in Iraq is wrong, and you wish you had a way to show the Bush Administration, the Government of the United States, and the world, how you feel about it, then join us in our world wide walk out on November 10th 2005.

Show the world how you feel, and just how many of us feel this way. Letâ€™s drive the point home by taking away from them their most precious item; money. 

On November 10th 2005, unless you hold a position which people rely upon in the event of an emergency (you work at a hospital, a firemen, policemen etc), donâ€™t go to work. Try not to drive your car; donâ€™t watch T.V.; donâ€™t use the internet. Stay at home. Read a book. Play with your kids. Engage in a hobby. 

Plan a vacation day at work. Call in sick. Use your best judgment on how to take this day off.

If we donâ€™t get their attention this way, weâ€™ll just do it again, until we do.

If the people speak, and speak together, they have to listen.

Please email this to as many of your friends and colleagues as you wish/can.</description>

<p>Show the world how you feel, and just how many of us feel this way. Letâ€™s drive the point home by taking away from them their most precious item; money. </p>
<p>On November 10th 2005, unless you hold a position which people rely upon in the event of an emergency (you work at a hospital, a firemen, policemen etc), donâ€™t go to work. Try not to drive your car; donâ€™t watch T.V.; donâ€™t use the internet. Stay at home. Read a book. Play with your kids. Engage in a hobby. </p>
<p>Plan a vacation day at work. Call in sick. Use your best judgment on how to take this day off.</p>
<p>If we donâ€™t get their attention this way, weâ€™ll just do it again, until we do.</p>
<p>If the people speak, and speak together, they have to listen.</p>
<p>Please email this to as many of your friends and colleagues as you wish/can.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=164062', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&quot;Just so you know, being both pro-capital punishment and â€œpro-lifeâ€ (as in anti-abortion) is not necessarily a contradiction, depending on oneâ€™s reasons for being anti-abortion.
Comment by cj &quot;

That&#039;s nonsense.  The only arguments about pro-life involve &#039;protecting the innocent&#039;, and yet 2 dozen &#039;innocent&#039; people who were proven innocent after death have occured in the US (many others were probably also innocent).  The reality is that if you wish to protect the innocent, then you can&#039;t be for the death penalty as some innocent will ALWAYS be falsely accused.  Otherwise you aren&#039;t about protecting the lives of the innocent, you&#039;re about &#039;power&#039;, so the arguments for both are entirely inconsistent...

The problem with most people who are pro-life is they cannot think of this in the context of an overall set of values.  In isolation they believe their values are &#039;good&#039;, but they are completely inconsistent and contradictary when seen through the lense of a more comprehensive assessment..</description>

		<description>Hey, Aphrodite, your post #46 was well written and made some good points.  It was pretty deep stuff for a redneck like me to read, but I made it through it after my second beer.  Really, I don&#039;t thing all the liberals here would totally disagree with everything you said.  Like that part that they &quot;like to work less and earn more.&quot;  Hell, even the rightwing guys busting their humps down at the plant to make the CEO richer would go for that.  Of course you don&#039;t work in a plant sweating and having your benefits cut.  I remember that you once mentioned you were in the top 2% tax bracket so you can afford to be a far right ideologue.

Correct me if I&#039;m wrong, but your quote by Stalin saying, &quot;Those who control education will end up controlling the country&quot; was awsome. I mean, that was a outright eyeopener.  First thing I thought of was our &quot;education President&quot;, and the creation of all those private, Christian fundamentalist schools that have sprung up that are now getting our tax dollars at the expense of public schooling.  I bet you are all for &quot;intelligent design&quot; and prayin&#039; in class, huh?  Like the muslims and the Taliban demand, and cults like those of Jim Jones and David Koresh did before they had their people scarifice their lives.
  
Me too.</description>
