Don't like the Iraq war?

Hang on for awhile. Maybe you'll like the Iran war better!

IMPEACH BUSH

"It's deja vu all over again"

 

There was Vietnam, now there's Iraq, and as Yogi Berra so famously said, " It's deja vu all over again".

 

As before, and now again are the cowardly politicians wringing their hands and plaintively crying that if we do the right thing we will be perceived as weak and irresolute to enemies and friends alike.

 

 

It must be said that it takes strength to do the right thing, and only the weak press on in a fool's errand that will only bring grief, destruction and death.

 

There's a line in a song by Pete Seeger that was popular during the Vietnam era:  "Oh when will they ever learn?"

 

When indeed.

Whither goeth the Union?

Very soon now, the Snake of the Union will speak to Congress about the State of the Union.

The State of the Union is disastrous. The Snake of the Union and his hench-snakes has brought it to this point.

Who can bring it back?

The Death of Iraq

San Francisco Chronicle, Tuesday Jan. 16, front page. "Iraq refugee crisis exploding. 40% of middle class believed to have fled crumbling nation"

The destruction of the professional and middle class in Iraq can only bode ill for any hope of a stable democracy. These people are the glue that holds a country together. As the situation worsens, more and more of the backbone of the country will flee in search of a better life.

The people that remain in Iraq will be the poor and the radical. The radicals will find that the ranks of the poor are fertile ground for the growth of the terrorist movement.

Thus has Bush and his neocon cohorts insured a continual war that means a further rise in the power and influence of the military class in this country to the eventual diminishment of our freedom and economic well-being.

A monster has been created, and may in time devour both sides of the conflict.

Can Barack Obama win the Presidency?

The talking heads seem to think that Barack Obama's lack of experience is a serious impediment to his electability. Bush got elected without any relevant experience or knowledge.

The most important factor is intelligence. Obama has it in abundance. Bush is seriously lacking. Look at the mess we are in. Proof enough for me.

Impeach Bush

 

 

Bush, the Hypocrite

 

San Francisco Chronicle, Friday, January 12, 2007, front page center, "TEARS FOR A FALLEN MARINE". Bush looking pitiful with a tear running down his face. What a hypocrite! His tear is based on the knowledge that as President, he is an abject failure, and thousands have died as a result.

We won't have to wait for history to judge him. The judgement is now, immediate and swift. Like Nixon, he should resign, or face impeachment.

IMPEACH BUSH

Fighting them on our shores

 

The far right neoconistas prattle on ad nauseum saying that if we don't achieve victory in Iraq, we will soon be fighting the terrorists on our shores.

Anybody remember Vietnam and the "threat" of monolithic communism? The propagandists said that if we didn't defeat the commies in Vietnam, they would take over the world and our way of life would be gone.

Well, we lost in Vietnam and pulled out. Communism since then has gradually lost power and adherents, and in China and Russia capitalism is growing and growing.

Is there any possibility that we can learn anything from history? The philosopher George Santayana famously said: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
