Of the more than 670,000 troops deployed to the Gulf in 1991, about one-third of them now receive disability compensation.Remember your mother’s warning, "If you can’t clean up after yourself, don’t make the mess"? Didn’t we subject our children to that mantra?
But what was and is a continuing motif running through the theater of family life has not apparently carried over into the theater of modern warfare. (…)

Urgent Message to Congress: Put The Brakes On Bush’s Iran Plans; Reject Nuking Iran
11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
It is time for the US congress to speak, to pass a motion— a message to the president that they do not authorize him, based on their authorization to go into Iraq, to attack Iran, to start another war.
It is time for the antiwar movement to get out in the streets with one message. Congressional representatives must make it clear to the Bush whitehouse that they have cut off their authorization of any further warmaking.
We know that there is now a risk that the chickenhawk neocons who (…) -
Elementary: If Bush was Sherlock Holmes
11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
Let’s just fantacize for a moment or two. If Bush became the famous detective and was reflecting on his own behavior, he might have uttered something like these pronouncements (paraphrased from actual Holmes dialogue)
In comedy they say: Buy the premise, but the bit.
"How slow witted I am, and many blunders have I committed in my lifetime"
"The air of Washington is sweeter for my presence"
"What has become of any brains that God has given me?"
"My well of English is permanently (…) -

3 commentsBUSH SELLING COW COOKIES
By Peter Fredson
April 11, 2006
George W. Bush Company, Inc. has an oversupply of Cow Cookies, Buffalo Chips, Clumps of Dump, Anal Cheese, Blurtch, and Spineless Brownfish that it would like to sell to the public as their substitute for Unvarnished Truth.
And, though many of our textile mills have been outsourced and they no longer spin thread into yarn, the Bush administration is working overtime spinning yarn into ersatz truthiness.
Their supply of (…) -
Paul Wolfowitz’s Heart of Darkness
11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
“He had taken a high seat amongst the devils of the land.” - Joseph Conrad
American policy maker Paul Wolfowitz reminds me a lot of Joseph Conrad’s character, Kurtz, from his seminal tome, “Heart of Darkness.” Kurtz never allowed himself to be judged by the same standards as other mere mortals, nor has Wolfowitz. He seems manufactured in the image and likeness of another purveyor of malevolence - Henry Kissinger! Wolfowitz has so far escaped earthly punishment for his serial wrong doings. (…) -

Oily Corrupt Cabal
11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
The Bush Cabal’s oily plan is in full effect, when Jr. and his corrupt cabal stole power in 2000 — in the US gasoline was $1.21 per gallon, today it’s at $2.65 per gallon and rising. Look for sweet light crude to sell at $80.00 per barrel and gasoline at $3.50 per gallon come June.
With the help of the events on 9/11 — Dickie’s secret energy plan has fallen right in place:
Former Unocal employee, Hamid Karzai, became the President of Afghanistan and one of his first accomplishments was (…) -

Did you vote for the war? "Yes,because Saddam was a tryrant,connected to al Qaeda, and a threat to his neighbors and the US"
