FACT v FICTION

[HARDCORE]

?Don?t get me started with the Bullshit, the Lies, the Spin or the Buck Passing!!? That is beneath the dignity of government, and an insult to the intelligence of our citizens!

Plain Facts- The problems with Iraq should have (and could have) been resolved back in 1991! ?All of the rhetoric that followed was naught but self-serving horse shit!? (opinion)

Secondly, when Hussein started barking again like a junkyard dog in (or about) 1998, it was only because the initial job was left unfinished, not by our gallant military mind you, but rather by those who pull the political strings (regardless of party)!

Thirdly, when we went back into Iraq in 2003, even more American lives were (and are) being sacrificed to poor planning and shortsightedness, again, on the part of politicians!

Fourthly, with a politically weakened military machine (Base Closings etc), that same military (under political orders) may soon be engaged all over the Middle East. We have also threatened interventions in the Philippines, North Korea, and who in the Hell knows where else in the last few years!

?As for Iraq itself, ah, there-in lies (as in untruthful) the rub!?

?OK, let?s cut through all of the bull shit!!? Had the ?American People? and our ?DAMNED FEW REAL ALLIES? been asked to chip in, and were they told the real facts: i.e.- Hussein continues to be a lethal pain in the ass and a danger to all humanity, most (I think) would have stood behind us without moaning and groaning! President Bush, however, redundantly opted to use the ?WMD CARD?, instead of pointing out the cornucopia of other reasons why Hussein and crew had to go!?

Do these missing ?Weapons of Mass Destruction? constitutes a potentially lethal lie, gross Intel incompetence, or worse, on the part of the current administration - you be the judge!? Are these ongoing activities creating a mortal danger for Americans everywhere, military or not, for no other reason than to partake of some political opiate - one referred to as ?Love Potion #2004!? If so, is this (power) not the most lethal and addictive of all highs?

Now I hear the President, Secretary Powell, and a plethora of other entrenched politicos, telling us that it was all in our minds? These Power Brokers claim that they never said any such thing about WMD being a sure thing in Iraq! ?Gawd, are we so dense, or is the accurate word - SUCKERS!?? And if this ?Sand-Search? don?t locate any WMD (Weapons not planted that is), then hey, take those who protect our backs and our asses (Intelligence), and blame them for the miscues, as they are eminently expendable, at least from what I have been hearing out of the Oval Office! ?Finger pointing anyone??

Well, for the record dear, powerful sirs, so are you (electorally expendable)!! The only unexpendables in the United States (in my opinion) are ?Truth, Justice, Honor, Security, Integrity, Survival, Equality and Fair Play!!?

Now where in this scenario do a few of you fit in, ?Oh Powerful Ones?? Please tell us?!

?Harry S. Truman? lived by the ism that the "Buck Stops Here?, although, by some political reckonings, he was but a part-time haberdasher and only a mere democrat! His statement, however, was still magnificent, manly, and words to live by. And for the record - ?We the People of the United States? are still the true government of this nation, or at least the absolute power behind that government! (I Think?)

Re: "SUCKERS"

Regarding intelligence of whom had or has what WMD's (or not), the way I see things,...We were: "SUCKERS" for about 2-3 months before The Iraqi Shoot-em-up even got started. That's about how much time America was conned into wasting by The French, German, Russian and UN enemy collaborators.

Hell, if This Nobody had the transportation facilities available to Iraq and their many friends and collaborators, plus was given 2-3 months to do so,...I've no doubt whatsoever that I could've stashed or well-hidden The Empire State Building in Antarctica by now. Probably even The Brooklyn Bridge to-boot.

Still Friend, it is too bad that many American Officials have bad memories and don't remember The 2-3 month Time Gift given to the enemy and their safe haven collaborators. ALSO, that Dem/Lib Senators and Congressmen apparently place infinitely more credence with the enemy (plus collaborators), instead of with America's Military and America's Intelligence Communities,...ALSO isn't very reassuring, to say the least.

But then, and in fairness to The Fools alluded to,...believing as such do must be very peaceful, relaxing and soothing. No worries about Rads, Gas, Bugs and Slugs must be true Nirvana for Dems/Libs. Damn(!), and even though I know there's not-a-chance-in-hell of it,...I still hope "They" are right and know what the hell "They" are doing. After all, we are on the same burning ship.

As Usual - "RITE-ON-RE-CON!"

[reconeil]

Thanks for the encouragement Me Bucko. But, after watching The Evening News I'm as low and disgusted with politicos as I ever was.

Now we've got Presidential wannabees campaigning on the merits (actually demerits) of whom knew what about Intelligence (or didn't), and whom lied about Intelligence (or didn't).

Lately it's getting awfully hard to distinguish between French, German, Russian and UN enemy collaborating politicos and America's Dem/Lib/Socialist politicos, and especially since America's All Knowing Ones ALSO, were responsible for The 2-3 month and enemy helpful delay. Also, have some American Senators already forgotten: "9/11"? It sure seems so.

Hey,...don't get me wrong muh-Friend. Not all alluded to are self/clique-serving bums ABOVE ALL ELSE. After all, I can't believe the few from staunch political families I went to school with ALL turned-out bad, and like the bums seen on TV. But,...who-the-hell knows?
