I remember that proud day. Our presidente, standing at the microphone in front of the mission accomplished banner announcing it was a done deal. On a manly carrier deck, having landed himself there just hours before the speech. How touching, how hollywood, how not real! What we learned that day was that the president was a guy who could tell a good stories but for several years he hasn’t gotten the ending to his stories right. No matter, his republican buddies in the congress made sure they sold the snake oil to the people who bought as much of it as they could, and then supported sending our volunteer troops off to the sacrifice. That’s what all good Vice Presidents and Presidents do, our volunteers signed on the dotted line so it doesn’t matter if we misuse them. Send them off on some misbegotten venture and if they die it’s their fault.

Fred, I try to leave clues (in #9), e.g. w starts a sentence, and w had the opportunity to go to war in Viet Nam, but chickened out, because I think that when you explicitly add the word snark, you lose the effect. If I were a real troll, I would write somewhat differently.

Nope. I DID used to post as “Mr. Bush Goes To Hell” and “Ronald Reagan and his MASTER Satan”.

Never as rhf.

For some reason my last comment on another thread is waiting moderation. Anyway, just a reminder to watch Bush’s War tonight on Frontline (PBS). Set your recorder and watch both parts.

There are lots of people counting the dead because of bush’s war. This link says we are not counting nearly all of them.

U.S. investigative researchers have discovered an official U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs official, but not well publicized count, of 73,846 U.S. soldiers who have perished as an apparent result of Depleted Uranium based bio-chemical warfare exposure.

RHF was pretty well crucified the other day, I was wondering if he had resurrected himself already.

Hey Vet,

I am extremely frustrated with the Democrats too, but they are our best bet until we can get runoff voting or some other change to the system.

I think there are plenty of good Democrats in congress, but I get the feeling that the leadership is trying to drag out the occupation (as patriots are give life and limb), just to benefit. I think there are many Democrats that are frustrated with Schumer and Pelosi. I just wish more would stand up and fight tooth and nail for the ideals of this country. Too many are being bullied into submission by the Democratic leadership that are more concerned with the future of the party rather than the future of the United States of America.

They forget to realize that there is no Democratic party without a USA.

I truly understand your anger and frustration, but I hope that we can still shape the Democratic party and use it to create a better system where this does not happen again. Where are choices become broader and more diverse. Where you can vote your conscience without worrying about putting George W or McCain in office. We just can’t give up.

The Conn. newspaper that supported Lieberman has appoligized.

The soldiers had triumphed a long time ago. It’s the leadership that has failed us all.

When is George Bush going to be held accountable for the treasonous act of authorizing the attack on U.S. citizens on 9/11/2001?

When he meets his MASTER Satan. For all Bush’s GENOCIDE, TORTURE and WAR CRIMES, guess what his new MASTER will do…

“Where are the staunch republican followers that will stand up next to President Bush and tout the successes?”

I could name a few, but McCain, Lieberman come to mind at this second…….Yeah, I know. Lieberman claims to be…..ahem….”independent.” But he’s a republican, no doubt about it.

So the only reason Bush as not yet been impeached is Dem’s are scared the country would rally around the Neocon’s?
——————————–
The only thing I know for sure about the Dems is that they are spineless. There is more than enough evidence to impeach both Bush and Cheney.

Read Greg Palast’s book Armed Madhouse for starters. You might like it, because he takes plenty of shots at the Clintons and Al Gore.

Stick to the thread topic.

The vast majority of combat deaths in Iraq have occured after “mission accomplished”. Where are the staunch republican followers that will stand up next to President Bush and tout the successes?

There are plenty of reasons to despise Chimpfck and his minions without the 9/11 conspiracy crap. The real reasons to hate the bastard are lumped together with this line of “He caused 9/11″ tin hat bs and the whole bundle is discounted. They are culpable because they were fcking incompetent and didn’t take the threats serious.

Isn’t there some other site the 9/11 conspiracy nuts can go to instead of tainting this site?

You are mentally ill! If that were true your party is just as guilty!!

No democrats went to the UN and lied……
No democrats went to congress and the senate and gave the false information.

This admin did this. This is the bush war. It will always be the bush war. You cannot pin your evil on others.
