I am so sick of it all.

[TryingToWarnYou]

We spend the month decimating Fallujah only to abandon it and hand it over to the very same people we invaded Iraq to overthrow.

We prove to the world that our military seems to enjoy torturing and humiliating its subjects just as Saddam did. Perhaps this is somehow "different" as conservatives would like to believe? The next redneck right wing ass that brings up the issue of Saddam torturing people is going to get punched in the mouth after all this coming to light. I'm sickened and disgusted that our military claims to have been investigating this since January..what the hell is there to investigate? There is no issue to determine..look at the goddamn pictures! Happy GI Joes and Janes getting their rocks off by hooking up electrical wires to Iraqi prisoners. How are we now any better than the worst Saddam appointee? Granted, we haven't murdered nearly as many as Saddam, but we need time to catch up. These are war crimes, folks.

Bush and Cheney do a Punch and Judy show at the 9/11 commission hearings....no oath, no notes, no transcript, no official record, no accountability. The commission dutifully praises the President and Vice President while shitting on the memory of those killed that day and all the lives lost since.

Bush claims he would have done something more with regard to 9/11 had he had a date and location...well, no shit, sherlock. Connect the dots, retard.

How many more lies do we have to endure? How much longer is this going to go on? When will America care more about the direction we are going than what Simon is going to tell some shitty singer?

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a worse administration to ruin a nation than our present one. Please, take back America and get rid of these bastards. Our nation will not survive another 4 years if this does not happen.

1. Yeah, it's really beautiful. Our "Coalition Provisional Authority" sets

up shop in the old Saddam Palaces. Our soldiers and "information" contractor buds set about torturing Iraqis in Saddam's old torture chambers. We are really winning those hearts and minds baby!

7. Yeah, that caught my eye too..

The next time someone blows up some of our guys over there, I hope the media understands the relationship that our servicemen and women are germinating with such cruel treatment of the Iraqi's.

Karma is a bitch.

9. No different that what US did with S. Vietnam "government."

We are doing the exact same things the exact same way we did them in Vietnam. The only difference is there is sand where the jungle was.

2. Anyone besides us paying attention?

How are we now any better than the worst Saddam appointee? Granted, we haven't murdered nearly as many as Saddam, but we need time to catch up. These are war crimes, folks.

I couldn't agree with you more....

4. the world has truly gone mad and no one can tell....

they act like its ok or normal or something...

I stand here and watch the total shit on TV ( and I ain't even talking about the news yet- thats a seperate rant)...do you know that we now need drugs to simply get through our lives and they cost about 500 times what they did 30 years ago.....people have to choose between food & meds....oh yeah, and now all our food is unnatural- filled with chemicals and god knows what-but guess what... by golly, this what makes us sick so we need all the gdamned drugs....but in order to forget all this...we are told to shop ...consume consume- keep the econmomy strong! watch the crap about other peoples lives being shittier than your own life on TV so you'll feel a little better...or go out and run that credit card up...better yet, buy a big gas guzzling humungous truck or suv...damn, your neighbor will be so envious! (of course then they'll have to keep the economy strong by getting thier OWN truck)

So what if you work your ass off, and go into debt so deep the sun never shines even at high noon, just arrange a week or two for a time share vacation and you can keep thinking you are in control and don't have it so bad...this is "Murikka after all....land of opportunity.....

I remember when it wasn't this way......does anyone else??

rant over...for now...sigh....
Peace

6. You said it all -- and you said it beautifully!

I agree with you 100%. Our country wouldn't be able to recover from four more years of corruption and warmongering. Let's get out the vote!
