How Bush will commemorate four years of war.
“The White House, repeatedly asked if President Bush is planning anything to mark the fourth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq on Monday, has suggested that the president is going about business as usual. On Monday, that business includes playing host to the 2006 NCAA football champions, the University of Florida ‘Gators.’“

That sounds prefectly apropos; after all, this war to Dubya has been nothing more than pure sport: game playing at it’s finest. So what could be a better analogy?

After all, four is ‘just a number’…
March 17th, 2007 at 4:38 pmBush and the neocons won’t need to worry–they have the plan in place and fully operational to pass this chaos on to the Democrats who will sweep into power in 2008. Unfortunately for the US and the world, the Democrats will be left with what we have now–no good answers to solving this chaos. Iraq is Bush’s legacy and place in history.
March 17th, 2007 at 4:38 pmDroppin’ bombs… and droppin nuthin but NET! What teams are playing, America vs. Iraq?
The Bushies vs. The Common Senses?
Remember, Bush also dropped that basketball during photogrpahs.

March 17th, 2007 at 4:40 pmActually, there is no precedent. This is the longest international conflict with witch we as a nation have been involved, outside of the Israeli/Arab/Palestinian war, which has been raging for 88 years, but we have denied any involvement with that conflict.

What on earth are you talking about? The Vietnam “war” went on for 15-16 years.

March 17th, 2007 at 4:53 pmHow about that failed anti-war protest today? Did anyone go to that? No one showed up because it was so cold. Hard to believe with all this global warming.

Quality sarcasm there. Only a nutjob with no understanding of the theory thinks that global warming means everywhere in the world will get hotter. In a way the point is valid, it should be referred to as climate change and not Global Warming otherwise blithering idiots make comedy misunderstandings.
As I say, quality sarcasm. I salute you Sir!

March 17th, 2007 at 5:20 pmBush is spending the 4 year anniversary planning on sending even more troops so that we kill even more ruthless murderers in Iraq. It’s also interesting to see that there wasn’t much outrage here that chemical weapons were used in Iraq.

March 17th, 2007 at 5:34 pmmandolin: You confuse the weather with the climate (common mistake among your kind). As for those chemical weapons in Iraq, we have used more of them on an innocent civilian population than Saddam ever did.
Come to think of it, even those that Saddam had been accused of using (unproven accusations, BTW), would have been the ones we gave him to use. He was selected, installed and armed by us, remember?

How about the German (Christian) attempt at wiping out the Jews in the Holocaust? I don’t think that went very well either because I believe there are still a couple of Jews about somewhere.

March 17th, 2007 at 5:55 pmIt’s one thing for you to constantly play loose and fast with the facts when you are talking your usual trash but making accusations about others here is unforgivable and you should be censored by TP.

Thanks for sticking up for me but this accusation doesn’t really bother me. I know I didn’t do it (I actually posted #36 asking for the person who was doing it to stop it) so being accused is an annoyance but that’s all.
It’s very easy to accuse someone of something when you’re sat in front of a computer.
Cheers for your support.

He says your the only one who really knows how to read “Green Eggs and Ham” to him. He won’t stop crying. He was so happy before the tequila kicked in.

Mr. President. The country has been at war for four years with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and did not threaten the US. Also over 3,000 American soldiers are dead and 20,000 injured with an unknown amount of civilian Iraqis. What are your plans for today.

I’m worried that people are starting to think that the only form of valid patriotism can exist in an environment when a country is at war. It’s easy to rally around during a war. However, surely patriotism is more than simply sending people off to die? I always thought a large part was self-examination, something the political right seem to see as unpatriotic. So am wrong?
March 17th, 2007 at 6:57 pmMistress Z
This streaming audio from George’s war celebration is wearing me out. This better be the last year because he gets more out of control every year.
Better yet, he better be out of power by next year…he’s definitely lost his mind.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:58 pmThe ones who tore up the peace sign were probably activists on payroll, like the ones at the election center in Fort Lauderdale in 2000. Those ended up being recruited by DeLay. These were probably Rove supporters on his payroll.
March 17th, 2007 at 6:59 pmmandolin is pouting because somebody was mean to him, and gave him some of his own medicine. Waaaah!

If I didn’t think name-jacking was disgusting and low, I’d do it everytime one of those morons showed up.
March 17th, 2007 at 7:00 pmIt would be really nice if they gave the number on protesters and counter protesters. Of course on the news they mention both equally.
March 17th, 2007 at 7:01 pmI wouldn’t be surprised if Mandolin was jack’n her own name!
March 17th, 2007 at 7:02 pmUKDave,
No, you are not wrong. Not at all.
I think you are right to be concerned. The patriotism bar has been “raised” in such a fashion that many people don’t recognize it, unless it’s a cross wrapped with a blood-soaked flag.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
March 17th, 2007 at 7:05 pm–Socrates
Hey, the prez has to enjoy himself - he can’t devote all his waking hours to doing the serious work of the presidency — he needs to relax and tell jokes with sports players. Oh, yes, the war. Yes,
March 17th, 2007 at 7:07 pmthis war is hard work. The lies he tells are ever harder work - just keeping track of them! And defending the stooges, liars, and operatives that he has put into place is just exhausting.
As for the soldiers, well, they signed up to fight, right? He stands behind them, while he cuts their benefits, houses them in infested buildings, ties them up with red tape, and threatens to send them back to war before they are healed - and that requires more hard work and thought. Sarcasm off.

They have bought and swallowed the consumer mentality of bigger, better, faster, more, and fear what life would be like if they had to think, act, and be responsible for not just themselves, but for their fellow citizens as well.
They are also likely feeling very guilty about having supported in 2000 a presidential candidate who turned out to be inadequate, incompetent, and downright embarrassing.

Its easy for neocons to think war is patriotic as long as the war isn’t here. They’re not sending any of their kids to war and they have no empathy so it all works for them. Then again they only pay lip service to patriotism anyway. Don’t ask them to sacrifice anything or god forbid pay fair taxes or gasp, work for the common good.
March 17th, 2007 at 7:11 pmRaven,
Your first paragraph in #97 is right on the mark. In my experience with these people, they are the biggest consumers in this country — even while they are in debt beyond all belief.
Your second paragraph, not so much. I don’t think they’ll feel guilty until it comes time for their own son or daughter to get drafted and blown to smithereens.
Then, of course, it’s way too f*cking late, isn’t it?
We see it. They don’t.

Good, I thought I might be on the right track. I love the UK but accept that we’ve got an awful lot wrong in this country. Hence my patriotism is to try and make the country a better place. This must be a better approach than believing war is the highest calling of the citizen

March 17th, 2007 at 7:18 pmThe symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters “N” and “D,” standing for Nuclear Disarmament. In semaphore the letter “N” is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down “V,” and the letter “D” is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. These two signals imposed over each other form the shape of the peace symbol. In the original design the lines widened at the edge of the circle.
I find it quite Orwellian that one of the reasons we are at war is nuclear (mushroom cloud) disarmament. The counterprotestors in their apparent ignorance probably saw it as a ‘broken cross’.

I do feel that anger follows hurt, and that a lot of these angry counterprotesters don’t have any viable tools to help them heal.
What am I saying?
I feel hurt, and abused by all of the lies and deceit of the current regime, and I get angry too!
Well, at least I have viable tools to heal, such as being able to speak my peace here!

Wow Raven - you’ve given me an epiphany. I guess that’s why I get so angry at the trolls. We’ve been treated so badly be the people we entrusted with our government, but I feel guilty for not being able to protect these young and mostly disadvantaged soldiers that the anger can be overwhelming.
March 17th, 2007 at 8:01 pmAlso, seeing the treatment that Katrina victims received was almost as shocking as 9/11 but where is the indignation of conservatives there.
I guess the trolls are serving a purpose giving us somewhere to vent.
Your welcome MZ.
It is not only our government that has misled us, the UN as well played a large part in this ‘order debacle;

“This is the Tonkin Gulf resolution all over again,” Byrd said. “Let us stop, look and listen. Let us not give this president or any president unchecked power. Remember the Constitution.”
Apparently the constitution means little to might is

How Bush to commemmorate…..
1. Have Dick Cheney announce that the insurgency is now in its “last throes”.
March 17th, 2007 at 8:20 pm2. Retire to Crawford.
3. Have a Constitution Bonfire Ceremony.
4. Resign.
5. Go off the wagon - break out the Rum and cocaine.
6. Tear off Shirt and beat chest like a Gorilla.
7. Bomb Iran.
8. Secret Skull & Bones fart lighting ceremony.
9. Destroy the Department of Justice (oops already too late).
10. Secretly distribute to MSM, through a “leak”, the Bushco/Hollywood production of the latest “Al Quaeda” video, proving how important it is that we have W for Preznit.

How many of you agree with this statement.
“In general, how would you say things are going for the U.S. in Iraq: very well, moderately well, moderately badly or very badly?”
Well ?

4 is so much fun.
The Mask was out when miniblue was about 4.
Although she thought it was great, I (of course) wouldn’t let her see it.
The class was making masks.
Hers was a big green scribble.
When the teacher asked her who she was, she put it on and said, “Smokin’! Somebody stop me!” and ran around the room.
She watched less TV after that.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:12 amRUC:
Mapuches or araucanos. Southamerican indians.
I remember a french woman in a yoga class about 3 years ago when she told me that I didnt look like an indian. I answered her that I was kind of a mixture and she said: That turned out to be a very nice mixture. ;) (I have my moments…rarely)

March 18th, 2007 at 12:40 amI will. And I’ll send it to you, too, Juan!
March 18th, 2007 at 12:41 amI feel really bad.

I’m sorry.
Hey Zooey - I went to bed early last night - thanks for reminding me about that 9/11 movie. I boycotted and had already forgotten that it existed. I better take that alzheimer’s medicine I keep telling Jake about.

Hey, true…Im sorry. I was kidding. Please, dont ever feel guilty about some of my stupid posts. I saw miniblue. She is a beautiful young lady. She looks really elegant.

I don’t think any post of yours is silly…
I feel badly that I’ve been out of touch lately, though.
It’s my doing.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:51 amNo true, I didn’t forward the pictures.
March 18th, 2007 at 12:53 am17th of March is supposed to be the 4th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq Fiasco War. March the 19th was not the first day of hostilities in 2003. Remember Bush bombed a barber shop and restaurant on the 17th supposedly trying to kill Saddam. On the 19th the major bombing started.

#13 - JPV,
March 18th, 2007 at 1:30 amIf you use Nam as a comparison, remember that the Iraqi conflict started in 1991. Also remember that we were out of Nam in 1973 and we entered the conflict militarily in 1963. Up to then we were advising the Southern sector (10 to 15,000 troops, and we were restricted to side arms).

Sorry to disappoint you, Percy.
March 18th, 2007 at 1:52 amYup, we’ve arrived at “Wild Cornered Animal” stage, and the only way this CRIMINAL CABAL can even attempt to save their own selfish asses is by launching a false flag attack against the US Navy off the coast of Iran and another against the US “Homeland” in order to justify the nuking of Iran AND the imposition of MARTIAL LAW here at home.
We don’t have time to wait for impeachment. These people need to be arrested, and removed from their ability to make war against the American People, and the rest of the world.
All have committed FRAUD & TREASON.

March 18th, 2007 at 2:18 amGEORGE HW BUSH, RICHARD CHENEY, DONALD RUMSFELD, KEN LAY AND DAVID ROCKEFELLER WERE CO-CONSPIRATORS - 9/11 was part of the Energy Plan.
The Baker energy task force produced a report titled, Strategic Energy Policy Challenges for the 21st Century, dated April 2001. There is no mistaking the fact that reasonable, detailed and important expert advice is meted out to the new president. However, this amazing 107-page report strikes a drumbeat for action that grabs the reader as it propels a picture of a naked, energy-scarce nation, subject to energy shortages and price fluctuations, across its pages. Contrasting the state of what is, against what should be, and mercifully making powerful recommendations that will “save our economy,” it offers warnings such as: a sharp rise “in oil prices preceded every American recession since the late 1940s.”
The California energy crisis is raised again and again, along with the prophecy that America can expect “more California-like incidents” in the future. There’s even a connection made between the California crisis and the Middle East, which according to the report, “will remain the world’s base-load supplier and least expensive source of oil for the foreseeable future.” With that prophetic utterance, the stage is now set for a new actor, a new villain, and a new energy policy.
Enter Saddam Hussein
According to the Baker report, Saddam Hussein became a swing oil producer by turning Iraq’s oil taps “on and off” whenever he felt that it was in his interest to do so. During these periods Saudi Arabia stepped up to the plate and provided replacement oil supplies to the market to keep California type “disruptions” and scarcity from occurring in America. Hussein, the report says, used his own “export program to manipulate oil markets.” The report’s implications are clear: the national energy security of the U.S. was now in the hands of an open adversary and the Saudis might not make up the difference in the future. The Baker report recommends: “The United States should conduct an immediate policy review of Iraq, including military, energy, economic and political/diplomatic assessments…. Sanctions that are not effective should be phased out and replaced with highly focused and enforced sanctions that target the regime’s ability to maintain and acquire weapons of mass destruction.” Military intervention is listed as a viable prospect.
According to Neil Mackay in the Sunday Herald article, James Baker delivered the report to Dick Cheney in person in mid April 2001.
The subsequent events of September 11, 2001 helped take the world’s eyes away from the notion that an invasion of Iraq is for oil, but according to Mackay’s sources, the Bush cabinet agreed to military intervention in Iraq six months earlier, in April of 2001.

March 18th, 2007 at 5:48 amTEHRAN — Four big oil companies purchased the tender documents of 17 oil blocks in Iran, said National Iranian Oil Company’s (NIOC) exploration manager here on Friday.
Of over 30 domestic and foreign bidders, four oil companies bought the documents, Hossein Roshandel told the Mehr News Agency (MNA).
He declined to directly name the purchasers, however adding the Anglo-Dutch Shell, France’s Total, Brazil’s Petrobras and Malaysia’s Petronas, Spain’s Repsol, and Austria’s OMV were among the bidders.
The blocks’ names were not disclosed, either.
The 17 blocks were introduced to international oil companies in a two-day conference in Vienna early Feb., of which 5 are offshore and 12 are onshore.
The blocks are scattered in 9 provinces in a 129,000km area.
The whole blocks attract investments worth at least €46 million.

“Mineta’s testimony is devastating,” observed James H. Fetzer, Ph.D., McKnight Professor at the University of Minnesota. Fetzer is the founder and co-chair of the scholars’ society, which recently joined with Judicial Watch in calling for release of documents, films and videos, and physical evidence withheld from the public by the administration. “It pulls the plug on the Commission’s contention there was no advance warning that the Pentagon was going to be hit.”
According to Secretary Mineta’s testimony, which is in the public domain, when he ( Mineta ) arrived at an underground bunker at the White House ( known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center ), the Vice President was in charge. “During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon”, he stated, “there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, ‘The plane is 50 miles out.’ ‘The plane is 30 miles out.’
“And when it got down to, ‘The plane is 10 miles out,’” Mineta continued, “the young man also said to the Vice President, ‘Do the orders still stand?’ And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, ‘Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?’”
“The only reasonable interpretation of the orders,” Fetzer observed, “is that the incoming aircraft should not be shot down”.

MR. PHILIP ZELIKOW, A CLOSE ASSOCIATE OF CO-CONSPIRATOR, CONDALEEZA RICE, WAS THE HEAD OF THE 9/11 COMMISSION, AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS GLARING OMISSION OF CHENEY’S DIRECT ROLE IN THE 9/11 ATTACKS.
