		<description>Chalibi is stealing billions with our help, over 7,000 killed by death squads, civil war bubbling up, Iran becomes the major power broker, and Saddam is on &quot;trial for ordering hundreds of deaths&quot; . . . Bush is on a mission to destroy America and the Republican Congress rotates on it&#039;s thumb while ports are sold off, intelligence ignored, greedy incompentant cronyism runs rampant, Nukes For Mangoes, Katrina Lies, MMDs Lies, thousands of Americans die, billions wasted and we still allow this moron to speak for America? Democracy is on the march . . . out of America.</description>

		<description>People talk about &#039;getting the job done&#039; but, exactly, what is the job? Was is removing WMD&#039;s?  Well there weren&#039;t any. Was it getting rid of Saddam?  Well , he is gone.  Is it getting rid of all terrorists?  Yeah right.  How are we going to know when that happens?  We are making terrorists , faster than we can kill them.  Actually , killing people is what is making others becoome terrorists.  So now we have the death squads that use electric drills on human beings elbows and knees.  That is certainly the godly thing to do and I am sure Jesus loves all the fine Christians that will do anything to &#039;get the job done&#039;   Err what was that job again?</description>

		<description>Special ops as a description of a LEGAL military operation is not at all comparable to death-squads, which is a description of terrorism.

		<description>#65 - &quot;Iâ€™m not sure why you would call death squads â€™special opsâ€™,&quot; - &#039;Retch Puke 
*****I don&#039;t know....because they&#039;re trained to slyly KILL people??????

&quot;But I forgive you sweetie. The rightwing always stems from the insecurity, greed, fear and hatred - in otherwords the lowest and most base of our animal instincts. When you consider the partisan brian only engages our lizard brain, it makes sense though.&quot;
******(the comment above is a &quot;ditto&quot; of previous RyANNE/&#039;Retch Puke &quot;observations&quot; and is a waste of bytes.) Next.
&quot;Poor thing, you have my pity.&quot;
*****Save it for someone who wants your &quot;pity&quot;.</description>

		<description>Also, Negroponte was an Ambassador to Iraq, before he got his newest position in the Bush Administration. WAY easier to deploy those &quot;death squads&quot;, if you are actually IN the country you are doing it in. And &quot;kudos&quot; to Cheney and Rumsfeld, for bringing this guy, among others, back to the &quot;family fold&quot;. Ahhhh... just like &quot;the good old days&quot;. These freaks no longer even register on the &quot;Epitome of Evil&quot; scale. They are so far off the chart... and this is just what we KNOW about !!! Beyond scary...</description>

		<description>&quot;four total failures:
R. B. Hayes
R. M. Nixon
G. H. W. Bush
G. W. Bush
Does anyone sense a pattern here?&quot; --WaltTheMan

Hayes was a failure? Why do you say that?
As for the others, don&#039;t forget that GWB is NOT a legal president. He&#039;s a conspirator and a traitor.

And you left out the biggest failure, William Henry Harrison, he of the 1 month in office.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;I read the newsweek online article - so youâ€™re complaining that special ops might just get the job done??? THAT would give you LESS mighty aphrodite AKA RiteWinger AKA Jeffrey Shawn&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Can you post your responses in english next time?  This posting is just nonsense pumpkin.

I&#039;m not sure why you would call death squads &#039;special ops&#039;, but perhaps in the brain of a partisan you see these as the same thing.  I bet you were for the Reagan death squads in latin america as well weren&#039;t you?  It seems to be a favorite tactic of the extreme right around the world, and pumpkin you seem pretty extreme by anyone&#039;s measure.

But I forgive you sweetie.  The rightwing always stems from the insecurity, greed, fear and hatred - in otherwords the lowest and most base of our animal instincts.  When you consider the partisan brian only engages our lizard brain, it makes sense though.  So that&#039;s why we can&#039;t really fault you for all of the evil you perpetuate.  Clearly you&#039;re ill, and a medical treatment is the only hope for helping the fear, hate, and kill crowd of the rightwing.  Poor thing, you have my pity.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t pull up the article at the moment, but there was N&lt;em&gt;Y Times Magazine&lt;/em&gt; piece last year headlined or sub-titled &quot;The Salvadorization of Iraq.&quot;  I believe its by Maas.  The crux of the piece was that the same US guy that worked the Salvador thing had been dispatched to Iraq and had his own crew of Iraqi commandoes at his disposal.</description>

		<description>]he Pentagon is intensively debating an option that dates back to a still-secret strategy in the Reagan administrationâ€™s battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s. Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported â€œnationalistâ€ forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers

yeah I remember those death squads... everyone was the enemy even american priest and nuns . naplam in the villages ,children screaming from being burned alived.

theres a trow of information on the HIt Squads of American Supported Terror Squads Killings.

Damn This makes me really angry!</description>

		<description>bush is an idiot and a whore and i&#039;m embarrassed to be represented by him.

only a pinhead could turn compassionate conservatism into the death of thousands of innocent women and children in a foreign land.

if jesus were here, he&#039;d slap him in his dopey mug.</description>

		<description>My, my, what a &quot;uniter not a divider&quot; this current President and his band of corrupt criminal cronies have proven themselves to be...leaving American citizens so despondent and fearful about the loss of our own democracy&#039;s balance of powers and basic morality, that agent provocateurs are calling for an &quot;Ides of March&quot; assassination march on March 15th...  

Truth be told, I&#039;m sure there are any number of good American&#039;s out there feeling ashamed for the ill-wishes directed at the Cheney/Bush cabal that stir within their souls.  Understandable?  Of course!  But progressive thinkers are not the cold-blooded killers so frequently found in the mix with death squad kingpins like give-me-the-gun-Cheney and Negroponte.

And while I applaud any literary/classical references being employed in &quot;common usage,&quot; I&#039;m afraid the alleged lady from Texas (her locale &quot;so on the nose&quot; it undermines the perpetrator&#039;s attempt to weave wit into their words) is just another flunkie working for Bill O&#039;Really [sic] and posting on TP in order to generate a &quot;quote&quot; to be portrayed on one of his sick shows -- as &quot;Up North&quot; pointed out earlier (#34).

In addition to at least a cursory awareness of Shakespeare&#039;s work, this pretend-poster must also have a penchant for dramas on the small-screen, hence the &quot;Miss Ellie&quot; of Texas moniker (the matriarch of the power-mad Ewing family on &quot;Dallas,&quot; the primetime soap opera of some decades back).

I understand that the University of Texas in Austin is currently noted as having one of the most acclaimed creative writing curriculums in the nation -- overtaking even the long-admired and prestigious writers program in Iowa...and I would recommend that &quot;Miss Ellie&quot; enroll immediately in the UT program; there is so much literary technique still left for them to learn before they can pat themselves on the back for their &quot;crafty cleverness.&quot;  Your &quot;assignment&quot; would not have garnered you a passing grade.  But keep plugging away; at least you are trying to become acquainted with creativity!

Now, about that emporer&#039;s assassination allegory so clumsily brought to our blog:  it does have a certain thread of satisfaction to consider &quot;Julius Bush&#039;s&quot; reign being brought to an end at &quot;the doorstep of the Senate&quot;...but that will have to wait until after the mid-term elections have ushered in a Democratic majority in Congress.  Once that happens, daggers will be of no consequence, as nothing will cut the &quot;king&quot; more deeply than the dishonor of impeachment -- and his return to daily bouts of heavy drinking to try and thwart the humiliation of being no more fortunate than poor Icarus as he plunges from lofty aspiration to just another war criminal that will finally pay their price.

Sorry, everyone, to have gone on so long with this...I was enamored of my own literary prowess there for a minute...  :)</description>
