War, Death & Destruction: Enough Already!
Ok, we’ve had enough! This talk of nukes has forced us to take action. It’s time to ship the neo-cons, supporting military, terrorists, war profiteers, like minded leaders and all the gung-ho proponents for war, death and destruction to Siberia or, better yet, to one of the icy poles to duke it out. (Too bad the space option isn’t ready yet)
The rest of us want to be left alone! We have lives to live, and frankly the daily increasing burden of your fight is beyond annoying now!
The people of Iraq can certainly use the break. They’ve been in a dogfight for their lives for 16 years! I truly believe that if we remove our presence, which they consider an occupation, that they will spend the whole day or even week just sleeping, exhausted from this long, long, assault on their lives. Then they will stir themselves and begin to rebuild their bombed, blasted, wounded and wasted country. If we apologize and offer the genuine hand of help, they may forgive us a little and let us participate in the rebuilding of their society. Us, not corporations. We could use an experience like that; creating, not destroying!
Israel and Palestine could use a break too . Once the war-mongers go there are plenty on both sides there who will negotiate a fair peace. Iranians are also probably nervous about being the recipients of a nuclear attack. I’m sure their current leader would want to join you ’fighting guys’.
Oh yeah, take the multi-national corporate guys and bankers with you. You know, the ones who are stealing the wealth and resources from countries around the world while the people starve. I’m sure the bankers who fund these evil enterprises would have a great time making currency out of snowballs while the CEO’s could try to find food for the gathering and see how it feels to try to feed people with diminishing resources.
Go! You all ! Here in America we will be grateful for the silencing of the strident warnings of terror. You people want to fight so take your fight outside. Go to the barren tundras of the world and finish yourselves off beyond our sight. No more money for this nonsense either. The nukes and weapons stay here. You’re too immature to have those. I’m sure you’ll find something to use as a weapon, and there’s always your fists. We’re tired of violence. We’re tired of threats, we’re tired of paying for all this and we want to gather back the lives of our people who have been caught up in this fight. We want to bury our dead and to provide a home and community for those coming back wounded, traumatized, and suffering. War is a living hell and it will take a lot of healing to restore those who have been exposed to man’s inhumanity to man, in all its forms.
Not another death or injury. We’re demanding you return them now. We want the Nightmare to end for all people who just want to get on with their lives in peace. You are a tiny minority wreaking havoc on the lives of the rest of us.
Who the heck do you think you are? Blowing up people and their environment, trying to reign with fear by constant warnings that terrorists are about to attack, spending blood and money like it’s all yours to waste! No more! Your policies created the terrorists, you are the ones who need to do the fighting.
Mr. President, you say your job is ’protecting the security of the people’. I like that. Protect our national security now by taking yourself and the others to the Wastelands for your fight. You’re the ones they want. Think of yourself as a King of Old who would sacrifice himself if things weren’t going well with the people. In a supreme act of sacrifice he would die to travel to the godhead and ask for relief for his people. Do that. I think it’s a trip you’d enjoy, actually seeing God after all these years of just hearing him.
Your tantrums are growing out of control and making things worse. This nuke talk is irresponsible and dangerous. Not only that but our homeland is a mess! So before you set things in motion that risk a cascade of destruction, we want you to go somewhere else to satisfy your war lust. That freed up defence money will go far to get things in shape around here too.
Don’t worry about finding someone to fight with. You know how it works. ’Build it and they will come.’ In this case it will be more like ’destroy it and they will come’. The terrorists who seek eternal rewards through death will follow you there! Then all you guys who want to fight can go at it without wrecking our lives, our homes our earth. Those desiring to experience the ’end-times’ can be the camp followers and get their wish to experience the ’Rapture’.
It will be like a world conference of the ’death wishers’ .
The majority of us want life and don’t wish to be swept up in your suicidal missions any more!
We’re claiming the right to peace and life, and that’s what most of us want so we win because this is a democracy. Period.
We have your passage booked on a steamer fleet to Anarctica. If you make enough battle heat down there, you might all go to the Rapture at once on a collapsing ice sheet. Wouldn’t that be exciting?
. Don’t even think of defying our will. We feel very stern right now. Resisters to the ’will of the people’ in our ’mission for tranquility’, will be constrained for your own safety and ours. Disturbing the peace is a serious offence you know.
By the way, every day at noon we’ll be blowing car horns and whistles, ringing bells, beating drums, pots and whatever and making a lot of noise to remind you of our demands. We might even show our strength by having a national general strike and bring all your precious business to a stop!Once you’re all gone, we plan to have a sweet summer, get this place in shape, light up the grills and relax.
Better start packing now and don’t forget the long underwear.

Sign Petition Opposing Attack on Iran Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2006-04-10
[This Petition and signatures and comments will be delivered to the White House by many activists, including Cindy Sheehan.]
Dear President Bush and Vice President Cheney,
We write to you from all over the United States and all over the world to urge you to obey both international and U.S. law, which forbid aggressive attacks on other nations. We oppose your proposal to attack Iran. Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, just as Iraq did not possess nuclear weapons. If Iran had such weapons, that would
not justify the use of force, any more than any other nation would be justified in launching a war against the world’s greatest possesor of nuclear arms, the United States. The most effective way to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons would be to closely monitor its nuclear energy program, and to improve diplomatic relations — two tasks made much more difficult by threatening to bomb Iranian territory. We urge you to lead the way to peace, not war, and to begin by making clear that you will not commit the highest international crime by aggressively attacking Iran.

I come to this site for the amusement.
"It’s time to ship the neo-cons, supporting military, terrorists, war profiteers, like minded leaders and all the gung-ho proponents for war, death and destruction to Siberia."
Just WHO will do the shipping precisely, sweety? You will write letters and march around holding signs? You will "honk your horns"?
Be sure to feed the cat. Do you suppose Dick Cheney will ever see or hear any of it? Who exactly are you influencing? The Limo in the Speed lane headed for the Pentagon. There are a LOT of people headed for the Pentagon at Rush Hour. That’s why they have a speed lane.
Those people kill people with funny names and big noses with their shirt tails hanging out...for a living. The Pentagon is one big factory for making sure the bombs all work and get delivered. All those jobs, all those big Defense Contracts. all those biilions and billions of dollars. being spent all over the WORLD..and you are going to "honk your horn". And all those big corporations will just stop and look and pay attention, right?
Tell Jesus while you are at it and demand He "do something" to save all the bunny rabbits on the freeway .
The War with Iran is going to happen anyway and you can break into a sweat for nothing.
The Goombahs will all die over there and the bombs will be good for somebody who will make Billions by killing millions.
And that is why all the stuff at the Mall is just waiting for you to come down and shop and buy. There is no shortage of really nifty things to try on and wear. And everybody can see your fluffy little camel-toe when you stroll by at the pool. And no one here in the Blessed Land of the free and the Home of the Brave will hear a single Iranian scream and we wont have to step in the blood and excrement....but the Iranians will.
And if they give us a hard time we can always up the ante. For instance, part of the 5th Fleet is parked off Qatar and part of the Fleet is out in Blue Water in the Indian Ocean. Say the Iranians fire off a Sunburn missile or a big Shahab 3 and hit Qatar and take out an American Cruiser full of US sailors.
The Moslems will be absolutely excstatic. The Palestinians will be singing and dancing and passing out candy. And the American people out there in Pick-up truck land are going to go homicidal. You will see flags on everything just like you did after 9/11.
You think Dick Cheney doesnt know that? You think Dick Cheney wont leave that Cruiser sitting there off Qatar just like Roosevelt left the fleet in Pearl Harbor.?
You dont know how bad it can get sweety, or how the twist can be called .
We need an excuse to use Nukes. How can we get it?
How can we get an excuse to nuke 48 million Arabs and never have to worry about them again?
Honk your horn for Jesus and buy a big hat.

24.226: Iran has over 75 million people, not 48 million. And by the way the Muslim population of the entire planet is well over 1.25 billion. You want to nuke them as well, numbnuts?
Let’s see what you get out of that, Mr."Wants to be Amused but Couldn’t care less about the future of his world"? Cynical pieces of shit like yourself should be definitely placed downrange of all incoming Minutemen.

...JIM LEHRER: If the leadership of the U.S. government had listened toyou and your fellow military leaders, what would be the situation inIraq today?
MAJ. GEN. JOHN BATISTE: Well, first off, I think we have got tocomplete the mission in Iraq. We have no option; we need to besuccessful; we need to set the Iraqi people up for self-reliance.
With their form of representative government that takes into account tribal, religious and ethnic complexity that defines that country is nothing new. The Brits had a hell of a time with that in the ’10s and ’20s of the last century, nothing new at all. And we got to set them up for self-reliance so they can go on it on their own.
I think we’re going to be successful. There’s nothing this country can’t do, if we put our mind to it, but we need to do it right. We need to mobilize this country.
When I returned from Germany after three years, I was shocked to see that business was as usual. Other than an occasional family that was committed to the war because one of their soldiers was in the fight, or sadly too many families whose soldiers had been killed or wounded, who really understand what sacrifice is all about, the rest of America only makes a decision whether they’re going to put a yellow or red "Support Your Troops" sticker on the back of your car. And my question is: Why?
When we’re spending $6 to $9 billion a month, depending what you read, we’re mortgaging our future. And I believe Americans will stand up and do whatever they’re asked to do. It might be some form of rationing; I don’t know. We have experience in World War I, Korea, World War II on how to do this. This country is incredibly patriotic, and we would get up on our feet and support the president whatever he asked us to do.
JIM LEHRER: But that’s an indictment of the president, not of Secretary Rumsfeld, correct?
MAJ. GEN. JOHN BATISTE: I’m not indicting the president one bit. I’m just saying that I came back from Germany to my country and I found that the people were not mobilized, not sacrificing for this incredible effort. If it’s the country’s main effort, let’s all get behind it.
JIM LEHRER: General, finally, is this a one-shot deal for you? Are you going to keep speaking out, as long as the situation remains what it is in Iraq?
MAJ. GEN. JOHN BATISTE: I feel strongly about it, and I have never quit anything in my life.
JIM LEHRER: General, thank you very much.
MAJ. GEN. JOHN BATISTE: Thank you, Jim.

Way to go, general... What a non-answer. You should run for political office.
"Complete the mission" !?! Which mission might that be, the WMD mission or rebuilding Iraq? Or is there some other hidden missioin that the American public do not know about that needs ’completion"?
I will bet you a Chocolate Dunkin Donut that you and the other generals will be fully ignored by the end of the month by the MSM.

Fitz has let us down completely - Please let people know about this:
http://www.house.gov/hinchey/FitzgeraldResponseToHinchey.pdf
One page pdf linked at Rep. Hinchey’s site. Why did it take Fitz SIX MONTHS to offer his REFUSAL TO INVESTIGATE THE NIGER FORGERIES as requested by Rep. Hinchey and 39 other Democrats last October?
Fitz is a smart man, he tells Congressman Hinchey that the letter empowering him to investigate does not include investigating lies in the run up to war and he refers Rep. Hinchey to the DOJ site BUT WHY DID IT TAKE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR FITZGERALD SIX MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT HIS MANDATE???
18 April 2006, 15:50
Good responses, 4.***.45.** and 52.***.101.** It’s time more people realize that Jim Lehrer and Patrick Fitzgerald are helping spread the Bushit as much as anybody else. They talk a good game but keep the facts from people.
19 April 2006, 00:27
Its too late about Iran. Nothing can stop it now.
the Pentagon has been waiting for 30 years to kill Iran. Its already a done deal.
Iran is sitting there with its mouth open. BUH-bye.
All the tattle back and forth about this and that...all irrelevant. Wont change a thing.
make sure your hand bag matches your shoes. sweety. Iran is Toast.

Secret N.S.A. Memos Reveal
Critically Thinking Americans Still at it
Washington (Internet News Wire) - A Pentagon source revealed yesterday that several N.S.A. memos, which hadn’t been shredded, apparently because the office shredder had broken due to the volume of documents it had been handling, were discovered in Jack Abramoff’s former K Street office by Slavo Gvingstich, a recently immigrated illegal alien now working as a janitor in the building. The memos - all dated in 2005 - uncover a massive investigation into terrorist activities via widespread wiretapping programs conducted both domestically and overseas by the N.S.A.
After years of monitoring the electronic communications of millions of Americans, as well as thousands of foreigners, four genuine suspects were caught planning terrorist activities. Ibrihim Abdul Mulloka, an Algierian and card carrying member of the Muslim Brotherhood, representing the most formidable threat, had concocted elaborate plans to poison the soft chocolate ice cream at a Dairy Barn in Swiddleville, a small town in West Virginia, on August 2, 2004 along with Muhhamad Dahmid Ramalamid, a green tea farmer from Afghanistan. The plot, according to Stanley R. Billock, Deputy of Homeland Wiretap Operations, would have "ruined the lives of scores of innocent children."
The second threat, equally ominous, was posed by Abdullah Kalfaruk, a Cleveland youth, born Sandy G. Hollister, who converted to Islam in 2002. Mr. Kalfaruk, and two other converts, Ali Aksafar and Jilhadi Dahlilabod, intended on the night of October 17, 2003 to lace the gas tanks of cars parked along Greenwide Avenue in Cleveland with Domino sugar, permanently disabling them in order to cripple the American workforce one worker at a time. Their plans targeted many other Cleveland thoroughfares as well as streets in other American cities.
The third threat, oddly enough, was a plot, created by Idressa Makabir, a failed suicide bomber/Miami homemaker, who intended to swindle millions from American Express through a cunning credit card fraud scheme that would’ve netted millions. The money would’ve been sent to Islamic extremists so they could purchase unlimited numbers of the book, Milestones, the ideological tract by Sayyid Qutb, that would then be indiscriminately distributed to American school children for the purposes of brainwashing innocent Americans.
The last threat, initiated by an odd shoemaker in Iraq - Ghafar Mahawon, consisted of a plot to make shoes accessible to plastique explosives that would be far less cumbersome than the standard suicide belt now worn by unfashionably radical bombers. A stockpile of the footwear, including brown and black models, along with beautifully crafted Italian-like spiked heels, was discovered sitting on a dock in Jersey City awaiting distribution.
Aside from those actual threats, a slew of other leads, prompted mainly by pranksters and cranks, are also accounted for in the N.S.A. memos.
The investigations, however, did lead to a number of startling and unexpected revelations that were not actual threats but indirect dangers to American security. Above all, it was revealed, there is a sizable percentage of the American public, perhaps as much as 23% of the general population, who are highly critical of the Iraqi war and even have the nerve to question the President’s integrity regarding Homeland policies.
This group, termed the Mutinous Americans, doubt the rational for the war, are convinced that a nascent civil war is brewing in Iraq, believe that most politicians are being bought and paid for by big business, and last, but not least, think that the government and most of the people in it need a radical overall. These thinking beings represent "The gravest threat to American security out there, more than those Moslem fundamentalists," N.S.A. Bureau Chief, Mortimer C. Caruthers, insists in one of the memos.
These so-called thinking Americans are, for the most part, expressing themselves on blogs, as opposed to rallying grass roots events and marches so that their numbers don’t appear threatening. But, Caruthers noted, "If this contingency - a veritable domestic insurgency - continues with their anarchistic efforts, a remedy will be necessitated. At this point, a number of options have been considered, including an embargo of their economic assets, the spread of a limited, genetically engineered pandemic aimed to attack only truly active brains, and intimidation techniques such as anonymous death threats.
Several techniques garnered from our research are also being considered, including poisoning their ice cream, spiking their gas tanks, selling them explosive footwear and making their children read Milestones in order to convince them of the deadly serious Moslem threat that does exist in this dangerous world."
The memos are now being examined by a Congressional panel and a public inquiry is scheduled for the fall. Meanwhile Mr. Gvingstich is being held at Sing-Sing. His bail was set at $1 billion.
