or, just another reason most of the world
hates American Foreign Policy

but “Vulture Fund” is yesterday’s news story
neglected by America’s Corporate Media
but reported to the world on BBC
by an honorable word warrior, Greg Palast.

want the whole enchilada?

President Bush, with a stroke of the pen could stop Vulture Funds.
If you google for Bush’s email addy to write him a letter
of course one expects to get a return form letter
but what does one expect when the form letter says:

“On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
We appreciate hearing bla bla bla….

“Due to the large volume of e-mail received bla bla bla….
In the future please send your comments to
comments@whitehouse.gov.

Which is EXACTLY where my email was sent
but do not be discourage if I’ve encourage you to do something…
Even if they say they didn’t read it/know it,
they READ it, they KNOW it
and if they SEE it often enough at some “critical mass”
it will prick their reality.

Won’t you reader, write a letter?

New Mexico Rep. Steve Pierce, oh Rep of mine…

Show me a picture of a Vietnam Soldier that was spit on.
Then let me lead you away from the Barbary Coast in 1786…
Your delusional leader Bush tells us for “stay the course”
thru these last four years of war and now Mr. Pierce
would dis the Dems for what he now calls “staying the course”
but and yes thank you Mr. Pierce
for calling on the Dems
to stand up for what they believe, saying
“Follow your conviction, top the war,
you have the power and can do it now.”

We understand dear Pierce
why you wanted the Dems to be distracted
with a fight over the appointment of General Petrias
Didn’t happen, and how does Mr. Talking Point Hoekstra
spin that? “The Dems are talking out of both sides of their mouth,
voting for General Petrais, who supports the surge while
passing a resolution against the surge.”
Sorry Sorry Pierce – we the people against this war
will not let our elected representatives be deterred.

The warhawk Reps, like Session, are howling
“House Resolution 63 will embolden the terrorists.”
How much bolder can a terrorists get
then making a bomb out of their own bodies?

But it is Pierce that is afire with fear (counting on fear as a contagion)
“This is a world wide war on radical Islam.”

First it was a war for WMD’s
Then a war to topple Saddam
Then bring democracy to the middle-east
Now is is a war on radical Islam

What the hell are we fighting for?

Rep. Heather Wilson, also of New Mexico states
“It is not vital to American interest to stop all violence in Iraq.”

Does that give us the answer of why we went to Iraq?
If we did not go to Iraq to stay why did we only send enough troops
to maintain a permanent presence and
build permanent military bases there?

least we forget, they asked for it first
4 years when they could have they didn’t
warhawks do not want a vote of censure because
to censure a War President destroys the argument of
“Anti-War people don’t support our troops.”
in fact what it proves the opposite…
when troops are sacrificed for an un necessary war
the only way to truly support our troops
is to bring them home now.

Bush logic:
“If we fail in Iraq the terrorists will come here and kill us.”
reality
They came here and killed us before we went to Iraq.

Censure Bush AND Cheney first,
funding next.

“A ‘very damning’ report by the Defense Department’s inspector general
depicts a Pentagon that purposely manipulated intelligence in an effort
to link Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda in the runup to the U.S. invasion of
Iraq, says the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.”

“Just last week, Gates said that U.S. military officers in Baghdad were planning
to brief reporters on what is known about Iranian involvement in Iraq but that he
and other senior administration officials had intervened to delay the briefing
in order to assure that the information provided was accurate (manipulated?).”

Overheard at a coffee shop:
“I just saw on the news crawl that Anna Nicole Smith died.”
“Oh, what of?”
“They didn’t say.”
“Can you die of from being really stupid?”
“If that was true I would not be having this conversation.”

oh Anna Nicole Smith shades of Marilyn Monroe
(note is was okay for Jackie to marry Ari)
believing in the fairy tales then slammed
with the reality of money and corruption
Stuck on mammary galnds? Here!
Go choke yourselves! It is the devil in the details
of what happens to infant innocent brains
in the hands of master manupliators…

Tell me Bill O’Reilly, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman et al newsies
who ultimately controls the Pentagon
and who controls the office of the president
(not who our laws, say do)
when Iran/Contra is swept under America’s rug
when Nixon’s illegal bombing in Cambodia also under that rug
and he, Nixon, is pardoned for the lesser crime of Watergate?

By phone today:
“Mr. Peters?”
“Yes?”
“This is Irma at Dr. Azucar’s office. You had a negative stress test and
have to meet with Dr. Costoso, the cardiologist, next Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.”
“Okay. What does a negative stress test mean?”
(sound of papers being ruffled)
“It says here that you are in imminent danger of a heart attack.”
“If an attack is imminent should we wait until next week to see the cardiologist?”
“Yes. He’s out of town until then.”

Yes Dorothy, you can die from stupid.

America cannot and is not and will not win
but the hype goes on and on and on
from the top: “We have to win in Iraq
so the terrorists won’t see US as weak.”
and, “more US troops have to die so the ones already dead
will not have died in vain.” – sound familiar?

Army Lt. Ehren Watada refused to return to Iraq because
“As the order to take part in an illegal act is ultimately unlawful,
I must as an officer of honor and integrity refuse that order.”

Back in the good old days America could admit mistakes,
even changing the constitution to correct those mistakes,
now Bush would tell us some mistakes were made but
instead of correcting them we will “stay the course.”

The warhawks need Americans to believe
our all volunteer army chose to be where they are…
They did not choose a lying administration
and when polled a Large majority would leave
if they could but they do not have Watada courage
…kinda like America’s congressmen and women
have not the courage to condemn Bush & Cheney,
congress people who think to hold onto their seat
of power…this time the question is not
“Who will be the last soldier to die” while politicians dicker
the question is “How many Watadas need to step up
before Bush and Cheney step down?’
Answer: Not so many if Americans by the numbers
walked into their own state congress persons offices and demanded
“Stop this illegal war now!”
