ARREST THE BABY BOOMER DRUG ADDICTS FOR TREASON |
They got away with it in the sixties, stoned out of their minds, spitting on
our service men and changing the course of America into the cesspool we see
today.
Now retired, they have nothing else left to do but revert back to the
treasonous activities they practiced in the drug days of the sixties.
ARREST THESE FUCKS NOW, OR WE'RE ALL DOOMED !!!!

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the
president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which
he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as
he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to
the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to
stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic
not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."
-- President Theodore Roosevelt
Those who volunteer to serve their country in the United States military are
by understanding agreeing to make the supreme sacrifice in answer to their
country's call - and this is something to be honored by all Americans.
This does not preclude the responsibilty of every American to demand from
our elected and appointed leaders the highest possible standards when
considering whether to send those who serve into harm's way in defense of
this great nation. George W. Bush and his accolytes have grossly failed in
this responsibilty, and it is in honor of those who serve and have died for
this country that we who speak out against this administration do so as part
of our patriotic duty to the United States of America.
George W. Bush and his supporters have helped the 9/11 mass murderers
succeed beyond their wildest dreams. America is divided internally; more
Americans are dead; the world is united against America, terrorism
world-wide has TRIPLED; and the middle-east's newest recruiting and training
ground for terrorists - Iraq - is about to implement a socialist Islamic
theocracy.
Opposing the Bush administration and it's idiotic policies isn't 'treason"
or "unpatriotic - far from it. It is patriotism of the highest order.
"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to
explain to us what the exit strategy is."
-George W. Bush [Houston Chronicle, 4/9/99]
"I think it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to
how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."
-George W. Bush, [6/5/99]
--
George W. Bush has made the terrorists stronger, their influence wider,
their numbers larger, and their motivation to attack the U.S. and other
western interests greater. He has repeatedly abused his authority and
violated his Oath of Office by turning his back on the United States
Constitution; thereby surrendering to the terrorists by underminig American
freedoms,values, and the very foundations of our system of government.
Supporting Bush is treason.

The War is squarely the fault of the President and his administration.
But, when America goes to war, it's not "Bush's War," it's America's
War. It's not the "Neocon's War." It's not "the Republican's War;" it's
our war. It's as much my war as Bush's war.
Now, if I believe that what "we" are doing is wrong -- dreadfully
wrong, I have not only a right but a responsibility to exercise my
First Amendment rights, taking responsibility for what I say by signing
my own name, and attempt to contribute to the public debate for the
purpose of changing a fatally flawed policy which is daily causing more
misery for the country we invaded and which daily is causing more
misery for ourselves.
I wouldn't do the above if I "hated America."
The killing of the Iraqi tennis players for wearing (non-Islamic)
shorts and the related kidnapping of the Iraqi national Tae Kwon Do
team is emblematic of the misery we have brought to Iraq. By itself, it
doesn't prove anything. But it is metaphorical for everything.
Here's a boots on the ground description of what's going on in Fallujah
today (but, wait, there's another huge unintended consequence of that
invasion, described below the link and below the story excerpt): From
the Hartford (CT) Courant newspaper, a city which has 100 soldiers in
Fallujah:
http://www.courant.com/hc-iraq0528....stemaile dlink
Here's a short excerpt:
The area is a stronghold for the Sunni branch of Islam. The Iraqi Army soldiers are mostly Shiites, so they are among the insurgents' favorite targets. While the Iraqi police are mostly Sunni, their partnership with American occupiers invites attacks on them, too, leaving them walking a crooked line.
As 1st Sgt. Ben Grainger, Charlie Company's chief noncommissioned officer who is from Enfield, said, "They live in the community, the same community the insurgents live in. It's not a matter of them dying; it's a matter of their wife, family and kids dying. They're almost forced to play both sides."
When working with either security force, Grainger said, Marines are told, "Treat them as our counterparts, but be ready to kill them, if necessary." <<
And this is in an area supposedly under control.
But there is a lot more to the story of Fallujah.
This morning on NPR they had on yet another former marine, and
ex-Reagan Assistant Secretary of Defense. He'd just returned from
Ramadi, which is where most of the Fallujah insurgents went after the
marines chased them out of Fallujah.
In Ramadi today "Al Qaeda is thick as ticks." Before the war, there was
no Al Qaeda training camp and this ex-marine walked around a peaceful
and fairly prosperous city UNARMED and in complete safety. Today, he'd
be dead if he walked a block alone unarmed. 75% of the city has
abandoned their homes, jobs, and life, including all of the
professionals and middle class (which are, on a larger scale, fleeing
Iraq as soon as they can arrange a way to do so).
Then I listened (also on NPR) to recent developments in the Saddam
trial. It's now Saddam's defense's turn.
Most of us are familiar with the Nuremberg Trials. If we keep up with
the news of the world, we understand Darfur, Sudan. We understand
Rwanda. We understand Pol Pot.
In short, we know genocidal maniacs when we see them. But we often
don't do anything about them. We are doing nothing to keep Muslims from
slaughtering Christians in the Sudan just for being Christians. We did
nothing when Hutus macheted Tutsis in Rwanda just for being Tutsis. We
didn't stop ethnic cleansing of Eritreans in Ethiopia. We left it up to
the Vietnamese who defeated us in Indochina to stop the genocidal
killing fields in Cambodia.
So we know brutal dictators and we know genocide.
We were told about Saddam's "mass graves,"...designed to conjure up
memories of...what?
So what is the guy on trial for?
George HW Bush encouraged the Shiites to rebel against Saddam. They
did. George HW Bush did nothing but let them twist in the wind. Saddam
put down the uprising. He's a dictator. That's what dictators do. They
put down uprisings and maintain control, often, as in the case of Tito,
with raw power, and often, as in the case of Elizabeth I of England, by
executing a great many people involved with the uprising.
So Saddam is on trial not for "mass graves" and "crimes against
humanity" and "genocide," but for the charge that due process of law
was not always followed in Saddam's reprisals for US-inspired
rebellions against him. If you've followed the case, you'll see that it
is about handwriting experts and whether or not there was a sufficient
paper trail to establish that "due process" had been followed.
Saddam's "mass graves" were those of gassed Iranians and some gassed
Kurds (also occuring in the context of putting down a US-inspired
rebellion). Where did Saddam get the poison gas technology? From the
Reagan administration, who were concerned that Iran was going to defeat
Iraq. Saddam is not on trial for using poison gas against the Kurds to
put down an uprising. It's not clear that laws are broken when a
government (even a dictatorship like Iraq, or Egypt, for that matter)
uses force to put down a rebellion. It's not clear that international
laws are broken when a government uses poison gas against its own
people in putting down an uprising. Slippery slope. Tear gas. Cyanide
gas in San Quentin.
Michael Moore's "911" was sharply criticized (deservedly so, for some
things, such as the implication that Bush personally allowed his Arab
friends to leave the US during a travel blackout). One of the things it
was criticized for was pre-war scenes of peaceful Iraqi neighborhoods,
with children playing and going to school and so forth. But those
scenes were honest and accurate and they are the polar opposite of what
is going on in Iraq's greatest cities today. Which is getting worse and
not getting better.
And, again to quote former Reagan NSA Director Lt. Gen Odom, Iraq will
descend into civil war whether we stay a day, week, month, year, 10
years. The lessons of Yugoslavia and the history of the Islamic
mid-East (which has no liberal democracy, for reasons which are
completely obvious) indicate that Odom is correct.
We...everyone from George Bush to Larry Weisenthal...have brought
misery to Iraq, while also causing great damage to our own country.
We've dug ourselves down into a hole, and it's time to stop digging and
get out of the hole.
