The compromise proposal made Wednesday marked a significant change in the Bush administration's campaign to shield Americans from frivolous or politically motivated prosecutions by the new International Criminal Court. "From now on," explained White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer, "if some pi$$ant little country f*cks with our peace keepers, we'll just bomb the living sht out of them." Surprisingly, world reaction to this new policy was somewhat mixed. In Moscow, an exasperated spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "You Americans are always wasting good munitions. Just chop the little prcks into pieces and mail them home to their families in multiple packages. That's what we did the ONE* time some middle eastern terrorists messed with one of our embassy personnel." (Emphasis in the original.) Nato ally Spain quickly announced that U.S. war planes would not be granted over-flight rights for any such missions. The Arab league promptly denounced the new policy as "a Zionist Plot." Cuba's President-Forever Fidel Castro stated, "We will not be intimidated by the Yankee running dogs. I will, therefore, move immediately to invade Ft. Lauderdale and South Padre Island." El Presidente then mumbled something which may (or may not) translate from Spanish to English as "Gotta see some o' them Wet t-shirt contests. Yabos. Yabos. Yab-Os. Gotta love 'em." In Paris both the President and the Premier were on summer vacation with their respective mistresses, so whoever was in charge promptly surrendered, declared Paris an open city, and announced a 75% pay raise for all government employees.

Terry, "dino" may want to rethink confronting George W. Bush or His underlings on any issue or near any crossroads -g- He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a failure at business until his wealthy friends rescued him......then recently he was elected Governor of Texas.........he still couldn't think his way out of a burning phone booth without the advice of his staff .....and yet suddenly he's become our most celebrated presidential candidate, with the Republican nomination all but sewn up before a single ballot has been cast ........... How has He done it? geocities.com Rev 9:1 I saw a star fall from heaven unto earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. When Satan was cast down from the heavens, he came down to earth like a fallen and solitary star. Texas is know as the 'lone star state', and the 'bottomless pit', of course, refers to what passes for hell on earth - the hopeless pit of poverty. Texas has one of the nation's highest rates of child poverty - 26.2%; the highest rate of citizens without any health insurance - 24.5%; and a recent Department of Agriculture study says that 5% of Texas households sometimes go without any food at all. Yet Texas has the most regressive tax structure and spends the least per capita on social services than any state in the union. As governor for the last five years, Mr. Bush has had the key in his hand that could have helped open the door out of poverty for millions of Texans, but instead he prided himself in building a record of cutting taxes for Texas' wealthiest citizens and campaign contributors.
