Political Rant

Here are my political rants for today. If you are looking for sports go here and Halloween poon go here.

Here are some links from the the Fd up world that we live in.

The Blackwater thugs who opened fire on innocent people in Iraq were initially granted immunity BEFORE they would talk to State Department investigators.

Attorney General Nominee will not call waterboarding torture. It is sad that the moral standing our country has stooped so low that we even have to debate the terms of torture as a method of interrogation.

We drop bombs on villages and innocent people who die are just collateral damage, the CIA kidnaps people and illegally takes them to other countries, the US holds people indefinitely in Guantanamo without charging them, and we use torture techniques on suspects that every civilized country (Geneva Convention anyone?) has outlawed for decades.Who are the bad guys again? No wonder the world hates us.

A Republican Senator has the decency to be against water boarding and the right wing noise machine fires up and wants his head dunked.

What happened to the moderate libertarian, isolationist, fiscally conservative, limited government wing of the Republican party? How did it allow the war/fear monger wing nuts to take over and pollute any real debate on issues? We need solutions to our problems, not more hate disinformation to fit their narrow political agenda. Neocons, Rush Limbaugh, and Holly Rollers are running the GOP's sinking ship.

Iraqi Dam might collapse and kill over 500,000 people.

Billionaire Warren Buffet argues in favor of tax reform, easing the burden on the middle class and raising his own taxes.

Bush says that Congress has wasted time to end the Iraq War.
We do not even discuss anymore the main reason the we invaded a sovereign nation without the world's support in the first place. Why bother with those details? The "war" has been over for over 4 years. We overthrew the Iraqi government, killed Saddam and his sons, held elections and now we are just foreign occupiers in the middle of an ethnic civil war.

7/10 Americans want us of out of Iraq and a new policy. Bush will not allow this because he would actually have to admit a mistake. Weak people admit mistakes not Bush, who is the Smoke Em out, "we are kicking ass in Iraq," strong leader. I am shocked with his denial of reality and awful attitude towards the will of the American people that he has had such record low approval ratings.

All the new generals, rationales for war, different tactics, and more money for bombs will never fix this problem. Our political and military leaders have to truthfully acknowledge to the American people the exact mess that we are actually in before we can solve it. The current crew's credibility for honesty is emptier than a bottle of Ron Burgundy's scotch or as believable as a FEMA press conference.

Once again, I can not wait to kick these neocons out of power so we can have real discourse about America's options out of this middle east clusterfu$ that they have caused. The worst part is that the crazy bastards that blew us up on 9/11 are still at large, hiding in Pakistan, and growing more powerful. Osama even still has time to make tapes. Unbelievable.

I do not envy the next president as they will have to make tough unpopular decisions to heal these self inflicted wounds.

5 or 10 years from now, we will look back in disbelief that we allowed Bush&Cheney to continue this disastrous broken policy for song long, which has killed way too many Americans and innocent Arab civilians.

Pro War Cheerleaders are applauding that death toll in Iraq is down the past few months. It is all semantics and not part of some long term success story where we all of sudden, "WIN". Trust Me. I do not even know what "winning" means at this point. I have a future post coming that proves this is the result of increasing air bomb attacks and with less door to door raids.

I think one death is one too many (remember those days were we CHERISHED American lives, instead of seeing them as pawns for our military war games) and I agree with this soldier, who states 'I Don't Think This Place Is Worth Another Soldier's Life.

My heart goes out to the Americans who have to risk their lives everyday to protect the egos of a few men. Here are the faces of our fallen soldiers.
