China, Russia, France and the rest of the Axis of Weasels are putting their short term business interests ahead of global security. Oh man, Axis of Weasels, good one Peter......I'm going to have to use that one. I wonder what would happen if the US pulled out of the UN? I mean, it's not like the UN has done us any favors being that we're blocked at every turn by permanent members. I suggested before that we restructure the UN into a mobile unit, each country gets it's own trailer. Then we can just plop the UN down where ever there's a hot spot in the world. I'm sure the UN would be much more efficient with it's time.

And Bush chose to go to war with Iraq and well he's failed too. At least Clinton wasn't keen on having our children in wooden boxes. I'd take Clinton's diplomacy over Bush's war mongering. You know the number of dead from the invasion is clouded by so much privatization of the military. There's way more American dead than the WH is letting on. It only provides troop deaths, not privatized army dead, which is substantial. Hey, the Bush and Cheney friends that are making gigantic dollars on all this "blowing up the world for freedom" stuff don't want the war to ever end. Who are we kidding there's no fight for freedom going on. Come on, when did you start loving Iraqis? It's really the pals of Cheney making huge dough on sheding young American blood that love war. Nice, let's vote Republican for more of the same. Yahoo, let's drop the bomb someplace, like Iran, that'll fix em. Opps, no that would be wrong... It's too cheap, nobody makes money that way. Better to have a long protracted battle like we have in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nice, good strategy... Hey, what's happening with Osama Bin Laden? I thought he was the enemy, no it's Saddam, no its Kim il Junk. Heavens not Pakistan, not the folks who gave Iraq their A bomb technology. Nor Saudi Arabia, the ones who destroyed the world trade center and all the people in it. Nope not them....
