Do you believe it has been BushCo's intention all along...

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

...to spread/cause chaos rather than establish order in Iraq?

And secondly,

Do you suspect the Neocon driven BushCo agenda calls, over the longer term, for a significant and intentional worldwide population purge?

And thirdly,

Do you think peaceful gatherings of protest and demonstrations in the U.S. are going to become a much more dangerous undertaking in the near future?

1. yesssssssss!!!

2. No to the population purge.

Needed for cheap labor.

6. Robots and cyborgs will eventually do that work.

The humans can be worked to death.

3. I think they genuinely believed . . .

1) That Iraq would be a cakewalk, and we could *easily* install a government that would love us.
2) That while Africa is dying, they didn't need to do anything to speed it up (or anywhere else).
3) That protests are basically harmless, and only stiffen the spines of their "base."

4. To #1: absolutely............

To #2: I think they are acting intentionally in a manner that will lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions, if not billions. But they aren't going to actively "purge", IMHO. Just let nature take its course.

To #3: Sure do. Not that it will stop me. Shouldn't stop ANY true patriot from protesting. Give me liberty, or give me death.

5. Yes. Malicious Disregard. Absolutely.

:shrug: Political necrophilia. Ghouls.

7. Yes, No, No.

Destabilization has been the primary goal of the invasion of Iraq. As long as Iraqis aren't getting rich off their oil, mission accomplished.

This is what is in store for Iran and any other Arab regime that won't play along.

Population reduction? I would say they just want more wars to profit from.

Peace gatherings accomplish nothing. If there is another False Flag Terror attack, or bona fide terror attack, Shrub might try and declare Martial Law, then things might get a bit dodgy.

The media just ignores the Peace rallies, so their effect is nil.

8. No, No. and Yes

No I don't think that Generalissimo Gee Dubya and the rest of the Duck Soup Posse were planning to spread disorder and chaos in Iraq. They truly believed that a US-led occupying force would be welcomed after ousting Saddam Hussein, and that an intact Iraq would serve PNAC dreams by supplying cheap oil and to serve as a counterweight to Iran.

I don't think that the Duck Soup Posse has any notions concerning a worldwide population purge. Unlike some conservatives and unlike some of the various zero population growth organizations, I don't think that the incumbent mal-administration really cares about population one way or the other.

Yes, I do think that peaceful gatherings of protest and demonstration are going to get more dangerous in the future. The Republican Party is drifting towards a fascist mindset where dissent is equated with treason, thanks to the authoritarians who set the ideological pace of the reactionary Republican Party.

9. "Duck Soup Posse" that's pretty good. Deserves a good...

...graphic to go with it.
