The Iraq war is now effecting this former Bush advisor personally, since his son is now going to the war, so his views are now different from Bush and the rest of his out-of-touch warmongers. Doesn't this speak volumes for the priorities and attitudes of this war-profiteering swindle of a Republican administration. Bush is more dangerous to America then any terrorist, and may be deliberately running our military off a cliff and flushing our Treasury along with them in order to sell our infrastructure to equity firms he is destined to retire to along with Tony Blair. Now this multi-country-wrecking folly directly effects one of Bush's people so he doesn't want to play anymore. Bush is an un-American fascist traitor, and nobody can be a true American patriot who feels any different. The Americans of a previous generation would have Bush tar'd and feather'd by now. This treason rolling Truman over and over in his grave disgusts me. Let me get this straight.

The site is back up now, with no mention of the shutdown, so it may have been bogus - perhaps to get people like Prissy and me to take note of the site - but it definitely was shut down yesterday for a while, and it definitely had a link page that showed the logo of the DHS.

I can see trying not to let emotions cloud your judgment, but don't imply that you should be calculating in your approach to so many human deaths.

I apologize but you get the drift. I have a migraine right now. Another funny image came to mind... Venezuela colonizes us, cuts down our forests to grow coffee beans for the new superpower, Saudi Arabia, which had been created by US and Standard Oil--whose biggest oil customer will be China-after they call in all of our treasury notes!!

I predict that by 2012 the US will be an obscure region labeled 'upstart' by the rest of the world... pushed down and relegated to a rogue state. The UN will security council will demand we give up our nuclear weapons because we will not be responsible. The way we have been swaggering around the world century - not to mention the past several years makes me afraid to travel with my American passport, and even more afraid to live under the current version of martial law.. under surveillance by the keystone kops, at the mercy of idiots with power.
