bushco may actually be melting down, much like nook ya ler power plant. the freepers even hate him for 'apologizing' to the arab world, because they see the arabs as responsible for 9-11. all arabs. 'why should we apologize for being attacked by saddam?'

this torture story is only the tip y' know, there are more prisons, and more photos coming. possibly even revenge copycat photos, with our own troops in a naked pile, or worse.

the story has been going for a week, and building momentum like a runaway train. i'm not making predictions, but, this could possibly spell the end of bushco's reign of terror. but, the damage control is up to us, thank you very fucking much.

but now, i find myself terrified. something awful is probably coming, to take our worried minds off all the lies and the collapse of america

1. Not to worry. Michael Jackson? JayLo? Friends last show? American
Idol rigged? Those should be plenty for the American public.

2. If it is true that "you reap what you sow"...


we are doomed, for we have sown the seeds of our own destruction.

The dissenters have been vindicated and are now seen, by honest eyes, as the true patriots in this God-awful fiasco.

It appears we are rotting from the inside out. Bush tries to point fingers of blame, he appears incapable of self-examination. Was it Aristotle that said "the unexamined life is not worth living"?

5. no, the word 'apoligize' never crossed his reptile lips
you'll see the highlights later, but basically, he arrogantly told them we ain't stoppin world war three just because a few iraqis got tortured on their way to freedom. hell, 20,000 are dead so far, what's a few little tortures?

7. That is more in line with what I expected
There is a pathological incapability in these monsters to take responsibility for anything. This needs to be leveraged.

14. He never apologized or even said "sorry".
However, like every Repug appearing on television today, he defended the "vast majority" of American troops who are fair and compassionate. He also stressed the "progress" we're making in Iraq. (Just once, I'd like to see one of these fabulous schools and see how many girls are enrolled).

23. That's scant comfort considering...
... that the vast majority of Saudi's did not fly a plane into the WTC. People who fall for this sort of logic a too stupid for words.

19. No he did not. And Terrence Hunt's write-up for the AP specifically
noted that "he stopped short of apologizing."

But "bush" means never having to say you're sorry...

4. Don't get worried just yet...
The real awful stuff will come if Kerry wins the elction. Then, it will be MIHOP all over again, and Bushco will be shrieking all over the airwaves about how it wouldn't have happened under a * administration...blah...blah...blah.

10. This is why it is so crucial that we win back the House or the Senate!
Edited on Wed May-05-04 12:30 PM by janeaustin
We've got to have at least one body that can conduct investigations of these felons.

Donate to your local (or my local!) Democratic candidate!

Talk it up. Register voters.

Did you know you can get deputized by your District Clerk and set up a table anywhere you can get permission? Parks, hike and Bike trails, bus stations, etc. Register those voters and make them understand why it is so important to vote this year.

Heck, would there be anything wrong with getting their name and address off the registration form and sending them a few personal reminders to vote?

(Edited for excessive capitalization.)

6. But on the bright side of things,
Edited on Wed May-05-04 12:23 PM by SpiralHawk
there are rumors that BushCo will increase choco-rations by 2 mg. before the November selection. Think how doubleplusgood those extra rations will be, and keep a smile on your face.

BushCo loves you. Terrorists hate freedom. Tune into Faux news for Fair and Balanced coverage of the Ultimate Crusade Armageddon Challenge.


And hang in there waiting patiently for the "bonus" choco-rations for the rich. Prosperity is just around the corner. A rising tide lifts all yachts.

12. Increase the chocolate ration by 2 mg. to 38 mg.
Forgetting, of course, that it's 40mg. at the moment.

That's more their style.

16. Holy crap he looks so bad..
Mr. Miserable failure is having a miserable time. This shitstorm is ALL his fault, the buck is smacking him upside the head now.

Are his eyes getting closer together? He's going to be a cyclops before he gets kicked out of the Whitehouse.

20. Those lovely "concern" lines on his forehead seem to be
much more in evidence, and for longer periods of time, lately...

15. I've had the impression that they're being held together
by chewing gum and bailing wire for sometime now. I'm not going to be suprised if they collapse from the weight of the monstrosity they have built.
Scandal on scandal, creative bookcooking, disillusioned true believers, they're on thin ice and I hope we don't pay for it, though sometimes I think that would be best, just tear it down and start over.

25. When things go bad for Rove-Bush*, I worry about another terrorist
attack so they can change the subject and generate "support" for the "commander-in-chief"
