		<description>there is no war on terror, there is no terror. The only terror that might exist is the threat from an american government. It was they who destroyed the twin towers in an attempt to ensure Islam was enemy number one, it was they who already knew they had to take Saddam Husains oil, it was they who have been poundin the american people with anti muslim, so called Islamic extremism media. It&#039;s all a myth. If you believe what government controlled media is telling you, then you are even more naive than someone who believes what is written in the q&#039;ran or bible. Propaganda to generate wealth for mr bush and all his closest friends, inluded in which are saudi arabia and france. Little men with a lot of power to play with everyones lives.</description>

		<description>Apparently, and unfortunately, it wasn&#039;t dangerous enough.

This proves that public opinion is of no interest or concern.  They are providing the backstory to the media coverage that will confirm their story.

It&#039;s even bad, simpleton propaganda, but these sub-humans realize something the public will not be able to consider (if they get their news from TV or newspapers) which is that no matter what, propaganda works.

They could say that bush and ken lay were not friends, and those people watching their tvs would believe them.  They could say that bush and abramoff barely know each other, and they would be believed by enough people.

Propaganda is a prison of the mind.  It is like the cyborgs.  Painless, so why question it?

What will it take?  What can we do?

Well think about this:  In spite of the greatest propaganda matrix in history, at least 70 percent of the public hates bush.  That is in spite of the propaganda.  That means, even if the propaganda tool of media won&#039;t address or acknowledge it, they are losing.  

So now the only thing stopping us is the creation of the idea that we are not unified, that we are the fringe who are just bush-haters.  (Count me in.)  

Well, here we are.  Together.  They want us to believe we are being watched and listened to and so we can&#039;t suggest a revolution, but our country has been taken away from us and we want it back!!  

We don&#039;t want to overthrow the United States of America, we want it returned from the thieves who have shat upon it through their theft of every public necessity for a functioning democracy:  elections and the media.

We need to save our country.  We do need to stop being lame and weak in our minds and we need to recognize it can happen right her. 

It is happening right here.  

Let&#039;s talk about how we can take it back.  Try another election, but if (when?) that doesn&#039;t work, we know what needs to be done.</description>

		<description>What did Stephen Colbert say about this administration?

That they: Produce the most powerful photo ops in the World! 

So true and that is exactly what this Camp David-wear your LL Bean outfits Stunt was all about. So is this whopping 5 HOUR trip to Iraq. Why not give Bush himself a weapon and send him into the red zone if this war is so &#039;noble&#039; and that &#039;democracy in Iraq&#039; means so much to him? Why not give the troops who are on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th tour a break Mr. President. Go hop in a humvee with your green flightsuit costume on and take out the tairsts and the &#039;Saddamists&#039; and the &#039;rejectionists&#039;. Go out and there and see that you&#039;re right...there&#039;s no civil war going on, there&#039;s no insurgency, the Iraqis get more than 5-8 hours of electricity each day, the Iraqi people love us like you say they do, there was no massacre, Employment is booming, Oil production is booming, the streets are safe, the troops have all the equipment they need, go show us that the tairsts are in &#039;their last throes if you will&#039;, show us that all the car bombings are just Hollywood produced Media stagings from Univeral Studios, children aren&#039;t being killed and blown to bits, Haliburton didn&#039;t allow the Iraqi people and US Troops to drink/use toxic water, your Contracting friends aren&#039;t ripping off the American people and the Iraqi people, nobody is being tortured, the Government is in control, the troops really want to be there and stay there.... now, go on, Mr Bush...go out and there and prove all of this to us! Go unbury the WMD&#039;s..&#039;they&#039;re in the Tikrit region, around Baghdad, north, south, east and west somewhat.&#039; Call Rummy if you get lost, he knows where they are. So does Curt Weldon.Or call on Geraldo from Fox News, he can draw you a map in the sand. 

You&#039;ll be there for 5 hours..you can get a few things accomplished. Just come back another time soon and finish the rest. After all, your the biggest supporter of this war the one who is spending hundreds of billions of taxpayer money to fight it. Go show us it&#039;s all going to a good cause. Go on now..the humvee is waiting. I know, I know, it&#039;s 178 degrees outside..just take off your green flightsuit and put on a tank top and shorts...you&#039;ll be FINE. If you get thirsty, stop by the Halliburton beverage stand. Go. The perfectly protected humvee is waiting. So are the 72% of US Troops that didn&#039;t mean it when they said that they wanted out of Iraq between now and 1 year. They are elated you are joining them. Maybe a few soldiers can take it easy for a few hours while you fight the War that you started. I&#039;m sure they&#039;d appreciate it. Just think of all the photos you can bring back for your failing Republicans up for re-election!!</description>

		<description>If conservatives, particularly at Fox News, have mastered anything down to a science, it&#039;s:

Overshooting their load or prematurely doing so.


Sounds crude but I can&#039;t sum it up more effectively than that.</description>

		<description>holy flying chopper batman!

I&#039;ve stopped trying to figure out what the hell is going on in W&#039;s head.

At first, the W ain&#039;t happy that MSM only shows bad stuff (i.e. people getting killed)

and W. ain&#039;t happy &#039;cause the MSM is not showing all the *progress* taking place in Iraq....

but hey..when the good ol&#039; W goes down to Iraq to see how things are for such a long time (5 hrs are more than 4 after all) it&#039;s ok for Iraq to be dangerous....it&#039;s ok for W to take a &quot;dangerous chopper ride&quot; into the green zone.....whatever happened to rolling down the street in the good ol&#039; bulletproof limo? scared of RPGs maybe?

well...not all is lost....this has caused me to see the light....

I finally know what W stands for....

Wanker....bloddy incompetent, egomaniac, shortsighted, negligent, ignorant, selfabsorbed, speech impaired / orally challenged wanker!!</description>

		<description>Bush has shown what a &quot;strong&quot; president he is.
Unlike that &quot;coward&quot; Kerry, all he did was serve a war zone, get shot at by RPG chase down the enemy and kill him. 

Bush flying over to Iraq for &quot;6 hours&quot; = COURAGOUS
Kerry serving 4 months combat and two tours = COWARD

makes perfect  logic</description>

		<description>WORFEUS I think most Americans see that Bush is an opportunist and does stunts like going to Iraq just to try to boost his approval ratings! The Zarqawi assassination actually has actually backfired on Bush, so Rove told him to get his ass over to Iraq for another photo op, but NO plastic turkey this time &gt; lol.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t get me wrong. I see right through this cheap stunt.

Don&#039;t think for two seconds I think Bush did a &quot;good&quot; thing.

I think it was really smart photo op, but does anyone doubt that if Bush cared about the troops, he would&#039;ve done something like this before he dropped in the polls, before his presidency (if you can call it that) was in big trouble?</description>

		<description>You know what got me about this trip? Other than the purported danger? The fact that Bush apparently feels it completely appropriate to just &quot;drop in&quot; on another head of state on five minutes notice.  Five minutes was all the time al-Maliki was between when he was told Bush was coming and when he arrived.  If you want anyone to believe Iraq is a functioning, sovereign nation, maybe we could start by treating their government as something other than a bunch of random people we&#039;ve chosen as props.</description>
