You GOTTA Love this War. We INSIST.

You GOTTA Love this War. We INSIST.

Not that it’s a war mind you. It is not a war.

It is a single battle in our nation’s larger war on terror.

Which is a war unlike any other war and there should be another word for it.

But we won that battle and we continue to win the battle after the battle which is the battle we wanted to battle in the war on terror in the first place.

And, Iraqis love us. The media is filtering your beautiful minds with images of death and dissent.

We got a clear look at presidential priorities today. The corporate cheerleader addressed the most importance challenge facing BushCo today: Bush’s War is getting bad press.

That effects poll numbers, and, more importantly, that effects fund raising. Time to take out the patriot hammer with the ‘with us or against us’ sash and flail away:

The media needs to tell the truth about BushCo record in the war on terror.

But, they should focus on Afghanistan.

Remember Afghanistan? Where US forces killed more innocent civilians than died on 9/11/01 and accomplished............ what? Well, other than the pipeline deal, not much. The Taliban is back. Opium production is at an all-time high. The Bush oil-puppet ‘rules’ a fortified portion of Kabul while the rest of the country has returned to warlord rule. US and coalition troops are under attack again and al qaeda thrives in our ‘ally’ Parkistan.

When was the last time you heard BushCo tout their successes in Afghanistan? (Oh yeah, that would be NEVER.)

The situation is Iraq is decaying. And it was bad to begin with. The soldiers do not have even the basi necessities and BushCo is pushing a ‘Happy Iraqi’ agenda while suggesting that any media that does not sing-along-with-Bush is undermining the effort there.

“Don’t Worry, Be Stupid”

BushCo’s pervasive, cynical propaganda (ie. the ‘letters from Iraq’ outrage; the Showtime whoring) makes the Nazi’s look like junior high students undermining a chess club election.

(The National evenings news seems to know what’s going on. The cable stations are UTTERLY and ABSOLUTELY worthless and must be ignored.)

1. But remember:

BushCo's production values are better because they have more money than the Nazis did.. :eyes:

3. I'm sorry-- this quote is too applicable to not use again...

on Bush
Thomas Hood (1799–1845) QUOTATION:

He lies like a hedgehog rolled up the wrong way, Tormenting himself with his prickles.

4. well...

he certainly LIES

5. There's something the regime doesn't understand

Truly, no one gives a flying fuck anymore about whether things are good, bad or blown to hell over there because America came butt up against DA MONEY!!! I'm not just saying this. I truly believe that is where the people now are. In fact, consider this---the more 'nice stuff' he shows over there, the more people here boil about all that's being denied them and all they are told they cannot have, etc. while being stuck with the bill. Bush really hasn't figured this out yet. He's trying to feed it to his base because the rest of the country thinks this war was not worth it no matter how many schools or roads are built (they would like a few of them themselves!).

6. bingo!

7. I'll Give It Half a Bingo

i agree that the money is absolutely going to cause major problems for bush ... you can't campaign against the federal government reaching into the taxpayers' pockets and then spend this kind of money ... it's a huge problem ...

but there is another little evil that is killing bush ... the american people have no patience ... our wars are supposed to take a few days ... maybe a few weeks ...

we are hearing about troops (but not seeing them) getting killed every day ... this is not going to stop once we "round up the last handful or two" of troublemakers ... take a hint from what's gone on for more than 50 years in Israel ... there will be no peace for american soldiers until the U.S. withdraws from Iraq ... the american people were not, and are not, prepared for a long stay ... they are not prepared for Vietnam II, bush's little quagmire ... the frustration is already showing ... even with some of the congressional republicans ... imagine how things will be if we're still hearing the same news during next year's election season ...

so, money is part of bush's problem ... and the duration of a failed policy combined with a lack of patience in america is the other ...

[nostamj]

9. "the duration of a failed policy "

that's why I discussed Afghanistan.

the American people have NO idea (outside of those few who read Ted Rall--and his GAS WAR is a must read) what happened and what is happening there.

if they did, they'd be even MORE anxious about the (ongoing) Iraq debacle.

8. Good and thought provoking post Nostamj.

Thanks for reminding us.

10. now we're recruiting Taliban ministers.....!

At the same time, options are being explored to recruit other powerful former Taliban ministers into the central cabinet in key positions, including that of defense. On the one hand, they would then be in a position to cool the anti-US resistance, and also serve as a counterweight to the Northern Alliance, which the US is now finding somewhat recalcitrant.
