I am so tired of this bullshit. If I hear Bush or anyone else say one more time that it was worth the billions of dollars and thousands of lives lost in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein because "the world is a safer place without him," while dismissing the deceitful conduct of the administration who sold their fabrications lock stock and barrel to the American people, I am going to scream my bloody head off. The fucker isn't even dead and there were no WMD! I can't take it anymore.
The world would be a safer place without about half of the people that inhabit it. North Korea would be a safer place without Kim Jong-il. The United States would be safer without 25,000 gun related deaths every year. My city would be safer without all the murderers and rapists. But you know what? We can't bomb the shit out of NYC to get rid of them, despite the fact that criminals of all types victimize innocent people on a daily basis. Aside from the fact that Iraqis are currently not any more "liberated" than they were this time last year, on top of that it turns out there are no weapons of mass destruction, so even if Saddam was a terrifying threat to his own people, that does not warrant us spending ALL OF OUR HARD EARNED MONEY on killing those people who we are supposedly helping, meanwhile depriving our own country of money that we desperately need to fight our own fucked condition with regard to schools, healthcare, and myriad other dire needs in our own country. Not to be selfish, but at least if I'm going to spend my HARD EARNED MONEY on helping people, I could feel confident that I'm not murdering those same people that I am "helping"! As Jon Stewart recently said with regard to Bush and his "tree thinning" plans "why is it that whenever this guy wants to 'save' something, he feels it is necessary to kill half of it?"
So stop with the fucking bullshit artist antics Bush. You're a lying scumbag. Just admit it. You've effectively fucked my unborn children into mass debt and you haven't improved the quality of life for a single goddamn Iraqi in the process. Thanks for nothing asshole. What? What's that you say? You have a meeting with the heads of all the corporations you "serve" to decide how you can steal everything else that the American people have? Oh I'm sorry, I'll let you get back to that.
Posted by Maria at October 3, 2003 12:01 PM | TrackBackI am so drunk right now..have had too many beers. You know my husband is a military member who did get sent off to fight in this war. I defended our President like all get out-my husband hates this man. He referred to him as a "fucking idiot" earlier this evening. I'm in total shock right-I'm a veteran of Desert Storm, I served my country, I was taught to stand behind our countrys leader. My husband did a job overseas that is classified but he did tell me that the first day the war officially kicked off it was painfully evident that Iraq possessed NOTHING. Maybe I shouldn't say this but you know I feel so much right now. I will say that Dubya has cut the military families seperation pay and hazardous duty pay down to $125 a month. That is fucked up, because when you go overseas you lose your "food allowance" because military member is now fed by a chow hall instead of eating at home but hey....that efffects the people you leave behind a great deal. I ain't no Clinton fan but that democrat didn't fuck w/our pay like this. I think my husband is drunk too, he called Dubya a "Russian"...dont' know what that means..but looks like we'll be looking into living in Europe Forever..my husband will retire soon and he says he can get a job as a civilian contractor overseas for many years afterward.....oh well...time for more brewskis......love ya..
Posted by: sandy at October 3, 2003 10:01 PMI agree that Clinton was no angel, and not just in the husband department, I think he did a lot of fucked up things but was better at being slick about it and coming out looking like the good guy. On the other hand, I think that Bush is ONLY out to serve the very rich and has no aspirations whatsoever to do anything to benefit the middle class, poor or less fortunate in this country. His aspirations lie in giving handouts and favors to corporations and millionaires, even if it means sacrificing lives and the well being and quality of living of those very people and their families who are willingly being sacrificed. It's a huge slap in the face to our soldiers to undercompensate them for their valor and the hardship that comes with being actively involved in war. I think him and his administration are deeply secretive and blatantly deceitful to the public and it is so transparent that it literally hurts to witness it.
Anyways, I'm sorry that you are facing the disappointment of realizing Bush's true lack of support for the troops in the fact that he is willing to sacrifice your life for NOTHING and that he plans to give you NOTHING in return. My heart really goes out to you and your family. Love you too! :o)

Just curious....did Bush cut our family separation pay down to $125 or has it always been $150 and we got a "raise" to $250? You do know how to read an LES right? Or how about our base pay, who gave us a raise every year since in office? For YEARS the top Democrats have been saying we need to get rid of Saddam and that he has WMD's! But for some reason a president that does what he says he will do is to blame. How is that possible? Probably because our nation is now a bunch of former spoiled kids who are now spoiled adults. Just a thought...
