Who loves to have some fun at the expense of charlatans like the one in the White Louse, and fools like Dumbya's blind, deaf and dumb followers among the RWE faithful.

June 24, 2002When I read about Bush I pardoning Orlando Bosch, or that the Saudi's are funding terrorists, or that the Bin Laden's may still have financial ties to Osama, I realize that terrorism is truly in the eye of the beholder. I wonder how the Bush II administration has the audacity to support the current ad campaign in the war against drugs. My grandmother used to say, "actions speak louder than words" and I believe that to be a truth that the Bushies have overlooked. * * *It's pointless to hope for an end to the war on terrorism. Dumbya must continue his war in order to maintain his office and thus his power. People of America, beware, the "alerts," the intelligence "leaks," and all things to scare you will continue for a long time. The "war" is also good cover for promoting the Repuglican agenda -- the one that gives to the rich and robs from the poor. The Clinton years of peace and prosperity are over and, if Dumbya has his way, we won't see the light of day for a long time to come. * * * Preemptive strikes are deemed necessary in order to protect us from those nations who would use weapons of mass destruction against us. To seek a change of regime to protect our way of life is a must. We cannot allow a man who means to do us harm to stay in power. We must strike first, when it has been proven that a nation is intent on destroying us! If this were a letter, could it be signed "Saddam"? This is rhetoric from the Bush administration regarding Saddam Hussein. Offensive action against a nation, rather than defensive, gives all nations the same right to survival? Does this kind of posturing put others in a defensive mode? Who's at risk when the leaders are dancing the dance of war? Even a rat will come out fighting when he's backed into a corner
