Pardon my rant
I had to take a few day break from the news because I was so disgusted and enraged. I pick up this mornings paper to learn about the copter collision and 17 more killed. I am so sickened it is beyond written expression. Above all else, this criminal organization in the White House stands for maintaining and consolidating power at all costs. The election "victory" was achieved through large scale disenfranchisement of voters and intrusion by a right wing Supreme Court. 9/11 and fears of terrorism was used for propaganda purposes to advance their ideological and extreme agenda. The war with Iraq was strategically conducted as a mid-term election issue to help Republicans gain control of the Senate and increase their numbers in the House. Now that the war is spiraling out of control we are getting our asses handed to us by the resistance, this administration realizes it's time to get out by the summer all for the purpose of winning the 2004 election. Having a viable government in place and security force trained and ready in Iraq is a pipe dream. The United States will end up pulling out of shattered country that will become fractured along ethnic, religious and tribal lines. The result will probably be wide spread instability, civil war, violence, death and destruction that can spill beyond the borders of Iraq and create far greater instability in the Middle East that makes the current conflict look like a fight in a kindergarten school yard. Who knows what the Middle East landscape will look like then and how many bin Ladens are created. I hope I'm wrong.

1. Hi there bfusco!
Great rant! Welcome to DU. Kicking this to keep it up for more reading. :kick:

I was just about to post a question: Has the Loon in the WH (now in London) said anything publicly about the horrible deaths of soldiers on Saturday? Why does he offer his condolences to everyone else and not American families who are fighting his bullshit war?

This creep cares nothing for the soldiers, just his own political ass.

2. your right
I have not heard any such condolences and the reason is because the bastard can't face the reprecussions of his decisions. The soldiers dying, coming home dissabled and emotionaly scarred for the rest of their lives are nothing more then political liabilites to him and he would just like to sweep it under the carpet and ignore the reality.

3. Unfortunately, you're right...
I saw that headline last night as my daughter was signing on to the net and I went on a rant of my own, 'Now it's almost 20 a day!'. This is an outrage.

I don't see any resolution of the conflict in Iraq and see the situation in the Middle East becoming worse than we ever imagined. As long as the Bushies are in charge of foreign policy, our soldiers and the people on this entire planet are doomed. I got up this morning so upset that I was thinking that anyone, ANYONE who votes for Bush is too stupid, or evil to be allowed to decide anything.
