I could not post after hearing President Obama announce the troop increase in Afghanistan as I am still perplexed. Well this is just another fine mess that George Bush and his fellow travelers have gotten us into! I absolutely believe the invasion of Afghanistan was the right thing to do! But the war should have been wrapped up by now and Osama bin Laden should have been hanged years ago! Instead this nation had to endure Dick Cheney lecturing us that President Obama was “dithering” on what to do on the Afghan War! Read the rest of this entry »
Well this liberal Euro style Social Democrat does not believe in the orthodoxy of corporate greed nor the masochistic “I hate America” political orthodoxy of the politically correct. Just think of the dilemma of some of my liberal friends when the issue turns to Afghanistan! Now for the advantage of getting re-elected the Afghan President has pushed a law that sets back the rights of woman in his country. True the law only effects the Shiite section not the larger Sunni section of Afghanistan.
My anti-Bush credentials are impeccable. Just read this blog and you can see that for yourself. But I do enjoy showing my fellow liberals their tendency to create a new orthodoxy.
Just what is a politically correct liberal to do in the case of this set back in Afghanistan? On the one hand they do love to blame America for all the world’s troubles. Well then not everything is the fault of America there is also that nasty nasty religion, you know “Christianity!” Ah yes they actually advocate “having dominion over the earth”, as stated in the Book of Genesis! After all Islam is a religion of “peeeeeeece” which is the mantra of the politically correct.
I know, I know, I know the Muslims did not generate the disparaging of woman they LEARNED IT FROM US CHRISTIANS! Yes that’s it! – Wrong!
Now we have been told that we are not going to get involved in “nation building”. So we will hold our noses and fight in Afghanistan and fight for our national interests like we did in Vietnam. George Bush, I am afraid to say, actually learned the lessons of Vietnam and tried to insure that if we fought in the third world we would not back some one like General Ky whom we backed in Vietnam. But that also has it’s problems as we have learned.
Yes I am for pulling out of Iraq and was only for removing Saddam Hussein not the nation building that followed. George Bush slowly realized he could not do it and our model of democracy in Iraq slowly was lowered.
But my point is this! What are we to do in Afghanistan? Should we blame this new law on Bush? No we really cannot since he is out of office. Maybe we should adapt the liberal idea of CULTURAL RELATIVISM in relation to the Muslim treatment of woman! You know the idea that right is not right and is only due to our stupid American ethno-centricism! “Bad, Bad Bad American”!
As I said I am a liberal Euro style Social Democrat. So don’t try to rationalize your cognitive dissonance between liberal ideals on the one hand and the masochistic blame America philosophy of the politically correct for everything on the other. Sometimes the Republicans do have it right. There are people out there in this world who do not care what type of “karma” they generate. North Korea and Iran’s leaders are among them!
We are fighting EVIL in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Not to mention Iran and North Korea! China and Russia are not that cool either. We could see one of our cities go up into a mushroom cloud because we did not take Decisive action! Oh dear but that would be like “having dominion” and we liberals would love so much better to live and wallow in guilt being “reactors” rather than proactive in world affairs!
Yes there is an axis of evil! No I do not believe in Satan but I do believe in fighting what is evil! I am proud that our nation has, as yes Donald Rumsfield said, “Shock and awe military technology”. I am not ashamed that my nation has it and I don’t want others to have it.
We need to take out Al Qaeda! I believe in the Bush Doctrine (OH MOTHER GODDESS FORGIVE ME!) but Bush misapplied his own doctrine by wasting Americas’s resources by “staying “ in Iraq. We need to:
- Use our superior technology to wipe out Al Qaeda.
- Allow COVERT CIA operations to take out the beloved leader in North Korea. (What you want them to have nukes and a second Korean War).
- Stop the Cut and Run Capitalists from selling our military technology to America’s enemies!
- Pressure Afghanistan to liberalize their laws.
The time to be decisive is now! America does not need the Republicans to be the torch holders of defending American Values! If we liberals do not then the Republicans will regain their prestige with the American people and our nation will never enjoy the fruits of a American stlye Euro economy!
Well the Republicans are on their way out and with the rebirth of Camelot the CIA has found a new way to protect America without the usage of torture. It makes you God Damn PROUD to be an American! No water boarding was used to convert Afghan tribal leaders to support our cause but good ole “American Ingenuity”, inspired back into our CIA no doubt by the election of Barrack Obama as our President. These new techniques by the CIA will really “stiffen up” Afghanistan resistance to the Taliban!
Hopefully the program will be expanded by the CIA in Afghanistan under our new President’s leadership! Oh sure George Bush was heard to say this new high tech CIA technique is so “Clintonesque”! Just like the George “water board” Bush to say something so derogatory!
Well my fellow Democrats the Age of Aquarius is about to be reborn in America! The 60’s have returned and Camelot is reborn. Hell with this new CIA technique of conversion world opinion will once again look kindly on America as the land of opportunity, gosh darn ingenuity, and ruggard individualism!
Yes – Only In America could we dream up such a happy solution to the Afghan problem. It goes to show the CIA can rise up to any challenge! God Bless America!
Why is it that John McCain does not support Senator Jim Webb’s GI Bill? The answer is that he wants to hold the carrot in front of our brave troops so they will serve more tours of duty in the Republican Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq! If the troops were to get a GI Bill after serving their initial three to four year enlistments many would not re-enlist and that is public knowledge even admitted by George Bush!
QUESTION: What is similar to Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destrucition (WMD) and why?
ANSWER: George Bush’s completed service record in the National Guard. Like Iraqi WMD neither can be found!
We live in an era of licentious permissiveness:
- Where Cut and Run American Corporations do business with the enemies of America such as Halliburton that has a foreign subsidiary involved in Iran. You know the nation that is sending ammunition to kill our brave troops in Iraq! I guess it is ok to sit down with Iran when it serves the class interest of upper class Americans whose kids generally (some are not hypocrites) do not fight in these wars!
- When CUT AND RUN corporations like ITT can illegally sell our converted night vision technology to China which can then sell it to our enemies or even use it themselves!
- When our troops could be safe in their tanks and personnel carriers with a weapon system developed by an Israeli company that wants to sell it to us! Yet our government is more concerned about American contractors who will take five years more to develop such a system! This from the advocates of Free Trade! Oh but these sunshine patriots will wear their Flag Lapels! (See the Video Below).
While the bleeding hearts of the Republican Party whine for corporate America the time has come to give our soldiers a G I Bill that will let them have an education and future! The time has come to support our troops. End the Republican Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq!
No doubt our Arab allies, the great democratic nations of the Muslim world will regret that Iraq does not rise up to their great level of democracy! Let them rush to fill the vacuum. Our job is to win the War against the Al Qaeda homeland in Afghanistan and Pakistan!
As the opium crop blossoms into ever higher world records in Afghanistan guess where the money raised from this crop is going to go? It is going to terrorists who threaten our homeland yet Bush and his fellow traveler John McCain are pre-occupied with the social engineering experiment in Iraq! The American Middle Class – our great Silent Majority demands that the evil triad of Afghan opium money, Pakistani rogue nuclear scientists and Al Qaeda Central in the Afghan – Pakistan border region be stopped.
Instead of worrying about trivial flag pins on lapels the Silent Majority wants America’s service men and woman to have a G I Bill and have it now! Let’s win the war against Al Qaeda Central in Afghanistan and Pakistan by stopping this circus in Iraq!
While George Bush and his fellow traveler John McCain lecture us on the virtues of the coming “One Hundred Year War” our nation sadly passed a grim milestone. We have now lost over 4,000 dead. These are the military regulars and reservists who did not emulate their Commander in Chief by not attending their required National Guard Meetings but instead took the call up to active duty. Some even serving four tours in Iraq. Imagine if they did a “George Bush” and did not attend their National Guard meetings as required by law?
Mean while let’s look at the great “fruits” of the Republican SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT that McCain would like to continue for one hundred years! Why look who is coming to dinner! (See the Video Below)
Look who is landing in Bagdad in the video above! Why if that isn’t the ever cuddly Iranian President Ahmadinejad who is arming militias in Iraq to kill our troops! Where is he pray tell? Why he is visiting his chum the Prime Minister of Iraq, al-Maliki! But then again he is only returning the favor as al-Maliki has visited him!
- This is what we are fighting for!
- This is what our nation has sacrificed its’ brave troops for!
- This is what the Social Engineering Experts in the Republican Party have wasted our resources on while our own CIA tells us that the next attack from Al Qaeda will come from the Al Qaeda homeland in the Pakistani – Afghan border country!
- But the Iraqis want us to leave! This according to a poll taken by our own State Department!
- The Iraqi President wants us to go! What do Bush and his fellow traveler McCain not understand?
Yet John McCain who doesn’t give a krap about the genocide in Darfur and doesn’t even care about CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS who are investing in Vietnam, the nation that once tortured him, lectures us about turning a blind eye to the Al Qaeda Homeland in the border regions of Pakistan and even vows to follow Al Qaeda to hell and back but not to their homeland! Yet he criticizes Barrack Obama for wanting to take strategic high tech action where it would count!
Senator McCain is so afraid about genocide in Iraq! When will he and his fellow travelers ever learn you cannot impose democracy on those who are not ready for it! Oh my I made a anti-war statement and a politically incorrect one at that! – Good this is a blog by a progressive Democrat not a knee jerk PC Liberal.
Let’s understand something. Four thousand troops dead for a vital war is actually very small. We lost far more in the Civil War and World War II. But can you imagine five years after the fall of Berlin and that city still having snipers? Can you imagine Germany in 1950 with key cities falling into the hands of insurgents?
That is the situation we have today because we never had enough troops to perform an occupation. But then why should we? Remember MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? As this REPUBLICAN SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT continues to divert us from the War on Terror and our economy is falling from carrying this unnecessary war debt, let us take heart that under our President Taliban opium production in Afghanistan is at record world levels. This drug money will be used by the REAL Al Qaeda in their homeland in next door Pakistan! With this opium money financing renegade Pakistani nuclear scientists and training camps in the Al Qaeda homeland of border Pakistan we can look forward to a mushroom cloud over our cities. So enjoy the diversion in Iraq. But don’t worry just look at the great work George Bush did securing our national borders and ports! Now you can sleep peacefully at 3AM!
The time has come for America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class to stand up and stop this social engineering experiment in Iraq and return to the War on Terrorism! God Bless America!
Well it appears that while George Bush and his fellow travelers continue to involve our nation in their “social engineering” experiment in Iraq, our national preparation level has sunk to an all time low! Well look at the bright side at least our nation’s ports are not being managed by the United Arab Emirates. Thank God George Bush was not able to advance the cause of upper class “portfolio security” ahead of “port security”! Our Army Reserve and National Guard are being bled dry in Iraq years after “Mission Accomplished” while opium production is reaching all time high levels in Afghanistan and that nation falls further into Al Qaeda control! The combination of opium profits for Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, renegade nuclear scientists in Pakistan and our unsecured borders do not seem to upset the “Great Decider” and his minions in the Republican Party.
But the above report should come as no surprise as even our nation’s readiness for a natural disaster from hurricanes is at stake and was discussed in Congress last April. (See the Video Below).
Some members of the Vermont Legislature have decided to pass a bill that would declare President Bush’s authorization to call up the Vermont National Guard to be void as the authorization was for a mission that was already accomplished! Senator McCain apparently does not know about “Mission Accomplished”. Al Qaeda in Afghanistan apparently is also not an issue for McCain. The question is for those in the Republican Primary:
What about a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONALIST interpretation of the Constitution? What gives George Bush the right to create a “new unauthorized mission” for our troops? You know the very National Guard and Army Reserve that he never fully attended? McCain and his fellow travelers are going tor the “feels good” solution! The problem is we are a nation of laws. But then again what the hell we have no national borders anyway the laws that regulated them are violated daily? But corporate America needs cheap labor! These right wing fear mongers talk about genocide occurring in Iraq. What about what is going on in:
- Darfur
- Kenya
- And soon perhaps Chad
Yet these “champions of democracy” have turned a deaf ear to the cries of the oppressed in these lands! The time has come for our nation’s middle class to demand accountability from those who hold office in our land!
