RepubiCONS are so frustrated with their president that they will say anything...
or do anything to say that they have won in Iraq. I heard some of them talking on the radio and on Cspan they were saying that the army isn't fighting the war correctly. They were saying just bomb their ugly wives and make the Iraqis respect us,and then we can split up the oil.

They are saying that the Iraqis aren't getting rid of the bad elements in their country, as I wondered have they looked at our country lately. When they are saying these things do they remember that they were claiming in the beginning that they were their to save them in the beginning,if they bomb them then whom will be left and do they really believe that this is the way to win hearts and minds.

1. The business about liberating them was just b.s., the stuff about killing everyone is the real truth
of what they feel, with the mask off.

But it IS good to point out the contradiction and ask them to explain.

3. I have been hearing them say this for a few years now...
but no one is calling them on it. I also heard the host say if we don't have the oil this country will die but, previously they would say its not about the oil.

2. just to review the history of repuke lies about why we are now fascist imperialists:
they published a book "Rebuilding America's Defenses" (the PNAC document) saying we needed to invade Iraq

they floated the idea of regime change. no one bought it, so they dropped it, but not before some progressives coined the term "Regime change begins at home."

then they tried to show a pattern of Iraqi violations of sanctions, but that kept leading back to Cheney's Halliburton, so they dropped it.

then they executed the PNAC "Pearl Harbor-type event" and "al Qaeda" and OBL became the greatest villains since Hitler

then they lied and lied and lied about Iraq being involved in 9-11

then they lied and lied and lied some more about Iraq being involved in 9-11

then they put on a full-court press of lies about WMD, smoking gun mushroom clouds, drones of death, chemical and bio weapons and duct tape and plastic sheeting for houses, mobile weapons labs, aluminum tubing, yellowcake from Niger, and blah blah blah . . . no sane person believed them, but the media and the "democrats" pretended they did.

then they lied and lied and lied some more about Iraq being involved in 9-11

so we illegally invaded Iraq along with our coalition of the unwilling.

then there were no WMD.

then they lied and lied and lied some more about Iraq being involved in 9-11

then the US military and Chalabi's buddies (all fifteen of them) knocked down Saddam's statue and Mission was Accomplished.

then there still were no WMD.

then Saddam was the worst thing since Hitler and Pol Pot rolled into one. (We were back to "regime change.")

then there still were no WMD.

and no Saddam.

then they lied and lied and lied some more about Iraq being involved in 9-11

then there were at least two attempts to smuggle WMD into Iraq, one thwarted in Basra by British journalists and one thwarted outside Iraq by Brewster Jennings.

and still no Saddam, although there were a couple of dead sons.

then there was a "spider hole" and Saddam was ours.

then there was the longest, slowest, least informative kangaroo trial in the history of fascism.

then there still were no WMD, but there was Plamegate and Brewster Jennings was no more.

then there still were no WMD.
.
and then no Saddam because someone with dubious jurisdiction killed him.

then there was regime change, but the insurgents kept the ghost of Saddam alive.

then the problem was "al Qaeda" (a synonym for covert CIA ops in the Middle East

but there was no civil war, just "terrorists"

then there were religious extremists and "al Qaeda"

but still no civil war

then there was, well, insurrection, but not quite civil war

then there was, well, civil war and "al Qaeda"

all through this, there has been no Iraqi oil on the market, fueling the greatest profits in all the long, sick history of capitalism sucking the people dry





anyone who still claims to be a republican is either mentally ill or a criminal or both

4. A lot of these repugs usually...
claim to still be repubs because they hate some other race, or they claim that they are for tax cuts but as soon as a disaster comes in their vicinity they want help from FEMA but they don't believe in paying taxes.

9. These people are..
watching old John Wayne movies and other war movies. They want to say we have won at all costs. They believe that if they don't the world will think of us as wimps. The problem is that the world knows what we are doing and saying, but when we say the world hates us they say who cares what the world thinks. They are a bunch of hypocrites.
