Things going badly

Our President, and most of government thank you very much, relies on your ignorance and lack of sophistication to further his goals. Always mentioning unrelated items together, always tacking hard to the extremes while dismissing critics, he simply has to be ignored now. We don't get anything from him or his people. I've said it before, the only information we get from this administration comes in the form of Lies.

Bush daftly reduces the arguments against his hog-fest in Iraq to 0 vs 1. A complete and immediate withdrawal or endlessly hosing US money and blood down the gullet of US companies floating on their bloated bellies in the Caribbean. He thinks you're an idiot. His spin machine claimed a week of victories as Congress lifted our wallets as they rushed out the door to vacation on the dole, even though every vote exceeded or fell short of his dictats.

Oh- unrelated War in Iraq juxtaposes nicely with War on Terror, because it is assumed you interpret those both to mean "War on the Towelhead Motherfuckers". Of course there's a difference: The War In Iraq ended over a year ago, and the War on Terror isn't a real war (with objectives and maps and stuff). Bush has no plan but domestic stalemate, which is all a war against an -ism can be. But we got up and left after the middle of the real war we had in Afghanistan- oh, and it's still going. And we still have troops there. Spinning wheels.

What would happen to our international position if we withdrew 100% by next Tuesday? Nothing bad, except we wouldn't have room for all the returning soldiers. Bases closing, VA hospitals shrinking, no jobs. The contractors would come home and go on unemployment, assuming Halliburton et al pay into the UC system. The real danger is what would happen domestically if 200,000 people came home with no jobs outside Homeland Security. Bush the CEO knows that we will look weaker on paper when our annual report is published if we bring all those folks home. His refusal to pick a goal and place it on a calendar has more to do with padding our bond value than anything else. You simply can't believe what he says, so you have to look for the truth in the unpublished back story.

SO: what to do in Iraq? Shouldn't be doing anything anywhere near Iraq at this point. What's going on there anyway? Spinning wheels: Spin the Wheel of IED's- whose number gonna come up?

Remember Afghanistan? An election doesn't a democracy make. A Constitution in Iraq won't come but by dictation from over here. Sunnis want a Sunni/Baath state. Shiites want Sharia. Kurds want Kurdistan. Irreconcilable. So as a parting gift, Bush is putting another hole in the NATO boat by fomenting Civil War in Iraq. Syria and Turkey can't have domestic separatists looking over the border at a free Kurdistan, but that's what we'll force them to do.

How much more permanent damage are we going to tolerate from this chump and his glutton horde? I say screw Iraq. Get the hell out. Stop killing our young people, Mr. Bush, and stop taking our money, Mr. Cheney. Stop lying, Mr. Wolfowitz. Stop pretending to work Mrs. Rice. Stop picking fights, shorty Rumsfeld. I want a stalemate. Lame duck begins now. No on Roberts. No on everything this asshole wants, and no on everything his supporters dream they want.

A bipartisan resolution in Congress, the Homeward Bound Act (H.J. Res. 55), calls for a plan in Iraq with a timeline. We need to increase the number of co-sponsors before Congress returns in September. Please call Rep. Pitts today and ask him to sign on.
