the Iraq war, the Bushites are embracing it.
Back before the invasion, when nearly 60% opposed the Iraq war, they shoved it down our throats anyway. Why?
Why, with 63% of Americans opposed to torture "under any circumstances," did we see our government utterly disgrace itself with the illegal policy of torturing prisoners anyway?
Why, with 90% of Americans concerned about the $9 trillion deficit, do we have billions and billions and billions more in deficit spending every month, primarily on war, often unaccountable, often a no-bid pigfest for Bushite companies like Halliburton?
Why would Bushites embrace the Iraq war if they weren't guaranteed 're-election' by Bushite corporations counting all the votes with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code and virtually no audit/recount controls, in the new electronic voting system engineered by the biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Bob Ney?
I think that is why. And we had better smarten up about it--and address ourselves, at the state/local level (where we, the people, still have some potential influence) to restoring TRANSPARENT elections. We may have only a short window of opportunity before the boot comes down. Will history--if there is a history--say that our blindness at this juncture was the turning point? Or will it say that we woke up in time, and threw Diebold, ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor'?
You want endless war? Keep trusting Bushite corporations to count your votes under a veil of secrecy.
