and its raining down in tejas
The Current Occupant of the White House Plans for War
February, 2003
Dubya knows a thing or two
About control. It's not to share.
As beneficiary of a coup,
He's got to serve who put him there.
By doing things they want him to.
Convinced that people can be ruled
By whipping up their rightful fears
Through propadanda finely tooled
With smoothly calibrated gears,
And patriotism as a foil,
And smiting evil where it breeds
At home, abroad, on foreign soil,
He'll satisfy the scripters' needs
To regulate Iraqi oil.
And human casualties aside,
The costs of this adventure are
The death of liberties at home;
The chaos of perpetual war;
Truth bandied ike a shuttlecock,
Betrayals practiced near and far,
A vengeful legacy of hate
And global scar.
Oh, dubya knows
a thing
or two
But time grows short; the crisis nears:
The messages that dubya sends
Debase our nation, stoke our fears.
Appall our allies, stun our friends.
Together we must stop the gears.

We have got to get rid of him. He is an international menace. But since we are a democracy, we have to wait until 2004. How much further havoc can he rain down on the world? Lots, I fear.
The editors of the New York Observer come out swinging with an opinion piece as harsh on "a callow and blustering" Bush as anything I have read in the blogosphere. It also lays into the Democrats "hiding under Washington toadstools" and the reporters who cover Bush ("a docile collection of game-show hosts"). But it reserves the lion's share of the opprobrium on Dubya:
The sun's o'ercast with blood; fair day, adieu!
Which is the side that I must go withal?
I am with both: each army hath a hand;
And in their rage, I having hold of both,
They whirl asunder and dismember me.
Excellent PDiddle .... excellent. Thank you.
Remember the good old happy days when Dubyas handlers kept him busy reading to, and being corrected by, grade school kids? As long as he had milk money he was content.
To borrow from the Nixon years 'would you buy a used car from this man?'.
He just got the vice president with the old 'pull my finger' trick?
He's such a card ....
The link below has some excellent animation.
A foreword:
I was reading Eric Alterman's column in The Nation and ran across his quote of a former British cabinet minister who regards Bush as "as a child running around with a grenade with the pin pulled out."
Now click here.
God bless President Bush.
Why do I have this feeling that Dubya's involvement in the regular war briefings in the White House probably amount to him poking his head in every now and then and asking if it's time for him to give his "Iraq is free the war is over" speech?
Heard on TV this morning that Bush was going to camp David this weekend for R & R. It must be very tiring to send people to their deaths. Than again his brain trust may just have wanted to get him out of the way. I am sure it is tiring attempting to explain what is going on to him.
You can go camping too! No one is stopping you.
I never get involved in political threads...for a good reason.
One question, though, for everyone that's so anti-Bush: what if..IF, once they take over Iraq, they do find a bunch of chemical weapons/nukes, that he's been hiding? Maybe more info tying him to terrorism? Are you still going to be crying about how this war was so wrong? The guy's a frickin' nutbag that should have a bullet lodged in his grill years ago.
If ....IF there are wmd ... why has he not used them?
Is he afraid we will try to kiill him?
Rest assured, the proof will be 'found'. Only how it appeared in Iraq after the end of the war will be open to question.
Why? Um, because he'd have to drop them from a camel?
Seriously, let's wait and find out. Good strategy.
Let's show the world we don't care about dictators plotting against us.
What the hell is Bush going to do if Husein surrenders?
Remember the AXIS of Evil? In reality we have a far greater problem looming and that is North Korea. Iraq was nothing in comparison. Strike that, Bush and North Korea
As for Bush, it warms my heart to realize that you (collectively) realize!
Bush is a one man 'evil empire'
