You have to blame the War Czar for it all now. Now if Iraq doesn’t work out for GW, he can fire someone for poor performance. And that would be Lute.

The President is just too busy to be Commander in Chief, you see.

Just to get yourself into the spirit of it all, please check out the video clip on YouTube of Country Joe & the Fish’s rendition of “I Feel Like I’m Fixing to Die Rag.” Choose the Woodstock version.

If you were there at the time, you will be amazed about how much you’ve forgotten about it in the meantime. If you were too young to remember, ask your parents or grandparents to view it with you, and then discuss. You will all be amazed. Guaranteed.

Mandate that all individual and coporate tax cuts since Chimpy and his buddies invaded the White House in January, 2001 be rolled back to December, 2000 levels, and additionally, specify that these rollbacks will continue, at a very minimum, until the United States has completely vacated Iraq and Afghanistan.

Anyone think this might bring about some change?

So, George W. Bush must surely be salivating the opportunity to one-up both his father and grandfather. His father didn’t invade Iraq during the Gulf War in 1991 and served only one term in office. W invaded Iraq and is a two-termer.

His grandfather’s plan to participate in overthrowing our democratically elected government failed, but maybe W has a chance to succeed where his grandfather failed.

Also, if current trends continue for much longer, all that was gained as a result of the New Deal will have been reversed. The costs of unending wars, coupled with the impending demise of Medicare (which will fail much sooner than Social Security), and the deferred costs of repairing/replacing deteriorated infrastructure (the deferred maintenance cost now estimated at one trillion dollars) will all come due at the same time that the glut of baby boomers begin to retire (or rather, reach the age that the previous generation was able to retire).

Rush Limbaugh is quoted as saying, “”Roosevelt is dead. His policies may live but we’re in the process of doing something about that as well.” George W. Bush & friends seem to be doing their very best to deliver on this promise.

We might also do well to consider a quote by George H. W. Bush in December, 1992, when he was interviewed by Sarah McClendon –”Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched.” Remember that W didn’t announce his intent to run against Ann Richards for Governor of Texas until 1994, nearly two years later.

Does anyone actually think that Rush or H. W. were kidding?

A draft, however, would end the war in Iraq a lot sooner.

Amen. And only the draft will get enough citizens up in arms that the marches cannot be ignored on the news like they are now.

Americans need a wake up call and they will only wake up when these manufactured wars touch their lives.

Of course, the war in Iraq has less than f*ck all to do with the security of the US.
