ALERT! The world is NOT safer thanks to GW Bush and US policies
Make them stop telling that lie. It's a lie, lie, lie. Iraq is NOT better off without Saddam and the world is not safer with Saddam gone!!

For all of its problems, when was the last time an American was beheaded in Saudi Arabia before this latest incident?

When was the last time that Americans were so frightened in living in other countries before this Bush administration?

1. Saudi Arabia is becoming very unstable
...I think that this is something that the PNACers/oil industry finds desirable. We will have to invade at some point to "protect the world's oil supplies."

are cops and cub scouts.

How the heck are we supposed to overrun SA? Pull out of all our other bases around the world?

8. Precisely... I think we're in very bad trouble...
Who needs peak oil subsiding to end our way of life? The danger is real and now.

I wonder how many people who voted for Reagan in 1980 because of Carter's oil comments now... The 1970s oil crunch, Carter, all the liberals shouting out about foreign oil (or foreign dependence on ANYTHING if we're supposed to be a superpower...)

We're only a Superexploiter and the world is taking its revenge on us.

5. I am very interested and very nervous about how the events in SA
Edited on Sat Jun-19-04 09:37 AM by lovedems
will play themselves out in the next several months.

I get this feeling that we are on the verge of the mess we created in the Middle East exploding into something unrecognizable. You have SA on the verge of a mess, Iran getting testy and of course we are allying ourselves with Pakistan who are just like the Saudi's when they turn their back on terrorists in their country.

Edited to add the mess we still have in Afghanistan.

These next couple months will be nerve racking yet interesting at the same time.

7. All I can say is,
The dumbasses should have seen it coming.

Maybe this was their plan all along but good grief, what a stupid plan! I think the argument should be made the Bush is playing right into Bin Laden's hands. Terrorist recruitment is up and Bin Laden will give Bush a present this summer with a terrorist attack in the hopes that he gets re-selected. Screw the notion that terrorists want Kerry in office, they want Bush. He is great for their cause!

9. Maybe they did,
taking a big gamble that the US could send in troops so they can get all that oil.

The draft will return...

And should the terrorists steal some nukes (I gather they're poorly guarded in Russia, thank you "60 Minutes"), we're boned.

And Bush reneged on the program to assist Russia in dismantling the abominations, claiming it would cost too much. Well, you fucker, is the cost too high now? Potentially the whole of society?

10. The draft will return, I agree.
And I have 4 boys. They aren't old enough to be drafted yet but if the draft comes back, it isn't going anywhere in 10 years when they will be old enough.

I have 2 sisters. One is 26 and one is 24. The 26 year old is determined to vote Kerry and one reason is the draft. She knows they will come after her. The 24 year old hasn't got it through her thick skull that she is a target so is still "on the fence". Don't worry, I am working on it but that fucking draft is so close I can smell it. I am scared for my boys.

Everything costs to much for the Bush regime. They have to give their tax cuts for corporations and the elite of society. God forbid we try to keep terrorists from getting nukes if it endangers those tax cuts for the rich!

11. The high school kids smell it too.
And they are not too happy about it. They openly seem anxious when the subject comes up.

I don't know anyone in college right now. I wonder how they feel about it.
