I came across an interesting perspective on the war in Iraq and the young soldiers that fight the cause. Below is a quote:

The rage soldiers feel after a roadside bomb explodes, killing or maiming their comrades, is one that is easily directed over time to innocent civilians who are seen to support the insurgents. It is a short psychological leap, but a massive moral leap. It is a leap from killing — the shooting of someone who has the capacity to do you harm — to murder — the deadly assault against someone who cannot harm you. The war in Iraq is now primarily about murder. There is very little killing.

That’s quite a thought isn’t it? Killing vs Murder.

I didn’t know there was any other place in the world besides the U.S. that used MM/DD/YYYY format. So I guess Iran shipped the weapons over to Iraq, but before that the U.S. sent Iran weapons? Hmmm. That makes us aiding and abetting a terrorist nation that is abetting terrorists. Shall we start bombing U.S. cities?

This is what you call “lack of intelligence in the intelligence community”. We need more fraud experts in the CIA.

  • Annual budget for Department of Education is about $55 billion
  • Annual budget for National Science Foundation is $6 billion
  • Annual budget for National Cancer Institute is $5 billion
  • Annual budget for Homeland Security is $35 billion

For $2 Trillion, the U.S. Treasury could:

  • Mail a $6,000 check to every person in the United State or
  • Mail a check for $300 to every human on earth (consider some nations per capita income is less than $300 imagine the Christmas lil Timmy would have that one).

We’ve got a new General out there now. Let’s see if he uses our money wisely. Our wallets are with you General.

“there is growing alarm among military and intelligence experts that Bush already has decided to attack and simply is waiting for a second aircraft carrier strike force to arrive in the region – and for a propaganda blitz to stir up some pro-war sentiment at home…”

The author of the article broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s. This is an interesting read from a great investigative journalist.

The Best War Ever, by the best-selling authors of Weapons of Mass Deception, is a vital account of why America is losing in Iraq and the Middle East.

The following is a video intro to the book:

“It could last you know 6 days, 6 weeks, I doubt 6 months.”
