It's interesting that most of the world saw Bush as a
much bigger threat than Saddam.
< If Bush is the "biggest war criminal of the 21st
century," we should all be thankful to live in such a
peaceful world. >
Don't worry Bush has lots of plans to make it a less
peaceful world. Don't forget the PNAC was written long
ago and there are tons of new WMDs being made for the
US military. If all goes well, they be plenty of space
based weapons soon. If he gets elected (this time) he
can start more wars and maybe all these new toys. Like
most sequels you need bigger and better effects "Shock
And Awe II" should be some light show.
< Derrick ought to educate himself as to the true
nature of the current world before speaking, should he
desire to be taken seriously. >
He could certainly rephrase what he said a little
better, but I don't think he is that off. I mean we
already have two wars and if all goes well they'll be
a few more, most likely Syria and Iran.
If you pay attention to Bush's boy John Bolton, he
seems like he has his eye on many more countries to
start a war with.

Just because some of the neocons haven't started the
other wars yet, don't think they don't have the
intentions.
< I hope to God that Bush isn't re-elected, I really
do. But there is enough bad to say about the man
without resorting to exaggeration >
Like lost 3 million jobs and $521 billion deficit? Or
continually lying and deceiving about everything. Or
conducting a foreign policy that has made our country
weaker militarily by overextending our forces, over
straining our reserves, and driving away our allies.
That kind of stuff? That might not be enough to wake
people up.
What about the 15,000+ innocent civilians in iraq?
There's hardly any concern or sympathy from what I've
seen.
What about 20,000 wounded soldiers (many of them
seriously fucked up for life)...on a war based on
lies. The media won't cover that, and we've yet to see
any on TV, so it's like they don't even exist to the
general public.
Who knows maybe the Administration will use more scare
tactics and orange alerts to try and convince the
people that we need Bush. They need to do something
otherwise the rich won't their next big tax cut.
< Point out why you think he is a piece of shit, in an
honest and truthful way, and people will listen. >
It too bad the media has largely kept honest people
from expressing the truth. Oh, I forgot there were
some, but they were labelled anti-american.
< Exaggerate and lie, and people will tune you out. >
No, I think that has been a successful strategy for
many in the corporate news world. Fox news has done an
impressive job exaggerate and lying.
< People are tuning out. Stop it, for the sake of the
country, and the world. >
The majority of the people were never tuned in the
first place, that's how the Bush Administration has
been able to do what they have. So well probably see
more cycles where we arm brutal dictators to do our
bidding and then when they get out of line claim them
to be the new hitler and then blow them away and then
off to more arms sales so we can do the whole thing
over and over again.
