How did this Country end up with such a bunch of Uninteligent Criminals? Never mind answering, I already know, we are what we hire or allow to steal those jobs, it's been coming for a Long Time, and Now we're going to suffer the consequences for as Long or Longer!
And what do 'We The People' do, Not A Damn thing as to holding anyone accountible for the actions taken 'In Our Names'!
As this headline Screams Out now the clowns are worrying! Forget what they already have done, that's in the past, even though still ongoing, it's Boring Old News!
President Bush held an emergency meeting of his top foreign policy aides yesterday to discuss the deepening crisis in Pakistan, as administration officials and others explored whether Thursday's assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto marks the beginning of a new Islamic extremist offensive that could spread beyond Pakistan and undermine the U.S. war effort in neighboring Afghanistan.
Apparently there was no brush to clear on the pretend ranch so an emergency meeting seemed in order, not that the puppet understands "Emergency", hell his puppeteers don't seem to either.
They've got to be figuring out a way to make some billions more off of this!
Bush then discussed Bhutto's assassination and U.S. efforts to stabilize Pakistan with his top foreign policy advisers, including Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, as well as Adm. William J. Fallon of Central Command and Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
What a f**king crew, And don't say that Gates is new, I haven't seen much change in policy from rummy except he isn't as belligerant or arrogant, and does seem a tad bit more intelligent, but Still not standing up to the main puppeteer, cheney.
And this one act, the assassination
would complicate U.S. policy in the region
These clowns have caused so much Hatred, In The Region, towards this country, it's people, and upratcheting the long time failed foreign policies that it practices, and all they worry about is spillover into Afganistan which never was stabilized and is once again becoming a more dangerous place.
Apparently buying into their own Propaganda that the 'Surge' is working, in Iraq, and any day now the Iraqi's will shower the Occupation Forces with those long waited for 'Flowers' and 'Cheer' for the 'Freedom' and 'Democracy' we have bestowed on their Destroyed People and Country!!
And condi seems to think that others are still even listening to her
Rice said the United States is in contact with "all" of the parties in Pakistan and stressed that the Jan. 8 elections should not be postponed.
Condi, a message, if there really is any intelligence, of which everyone claims you have, than start using it, you're a total failure along with the rest who you've joined hands with!
But take heart, while you worry about your legacy, You Will Be Remembered, and if this country ever wakes up, Hopefully Indicted!
A Message To All You Clowns, especially the puppet, You're Backing and Paying a Dictator, Again as only this Country does, Who Doesn't Give a Crap About What You Say or Think!!!!
So much, while the Country isn't asked to Sacrifice a Damn Thing?
Today the puppeteers pulled the puppets strings and the puppet says it will veto the Defense Department bill passed by the House and Senate containing
The bill is important to members of the military and their families, since it provides for a 3.5 percent pay raise for the troops and contains measures intended to improve the much-criticized health-care system for veterans.
And what do the puppeteers have the puppet say as to reason why the pending veto:
because of concerns by the Iraqi government that Iraqi assets in American banks could be vulnerable to claims from victims of Saddam Hussein, the White House said Friday in Texas.
“The new democratic government of Iraq, during this crucial period of reconstruction, cannot afford to have its funds entangled in such lawsuits in the United States,” Scott Stanzel, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.
My one question to above is, "How much of those billions, in Iraq assets sitting in U.S. banks, is actually our money to begin with?"!
You know some of the missing billions thrown into the quagmire, or reconstruction monies not doing any reconstruction, or payoffs to their puppet government we set up in the aftermath of "Mission Accomplished"!
But this isn't about the above, except as it relates to this:
This is only one story about one mother and son, repeated almost silently over and over and over, but with wives and wounded husbands, husbands with wounded wives, other mothers and fathers with wounded daughters or sons...........................!
She would exchange her two-story house in Atlanta for a hotel room on an Army post, watch her nest egg shrink and spend her days helping a 30-year-old son change bandages and wriggle into garments meant to reduce scarring.
The sacrifices of injured soldiers, airmen and Marines are recognized with medals and commendations. But the mothers and wives who arrive here wide-eyed and afraid make their own sacrifices - abandoning jobs and homes and delaying retirement to help their wounded children reclaim their lives.
Why are they being asked to Sacrifice Anything? Why Isn't this Country Picking up the Whole Tab?
Markelz said it's especially hard on the wives of guardsmen and reservists and on the middle-aged mothers of soldiers - women who had well-established civilian lives away from the typically nomadic life of active military families.
"They didn't sign up for that," she said.
We, as a Nation, apparently could only afford those little magnetic ribbons to pop onto our vehicles, untill they got boring, or whatever, and started disappearing!
Or like a number of supporters of the puppets policies and the War, they won't bloody their own hands with, say "gimmee money" when they read something about Military/Veterans care or PTSD or Traumatic Brain Injuries!
There are a number of these programs, like the one in the article, Returning Heroes Home, that are privately funded and staffed with volunteers.
Another just getting off the ground through the efforts of a 'Goldstar Mom', Veterans Village
Where are the Federal Funds when some of these become Successful Programs?
Where's the Full Support for not only the Troops but their Immediate Family Members as well?
This isn't about the following song most know, some understand.
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
A song I kept hearing, over and over each day almost hourly, as my coworkers wanted to listen to Christmas music at the jobsite, so we switched channels, and the canned programming played this a number of times. I kept wondering if there was a message there or if whoever made up the program list really knew what the song was about, or if it was just about Lennon singing about Christmas, much like the Reagan campaign took to 'Born in the USA' as their own, remember that, nobody apparently knowing the words to!
I got in a little hometown jam And so they put a rifle in my hands Sent me off to Vietnam To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me" I go down to see the V.A. man He said "Son don't you understand"
[chorus]
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn Fighting off the Viet Cong They're still there, he's all gone He had a little girl in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms

This is about a perspective a fellow 'Nam Vet wrote for the Truthout site, and abit more, called So This Is Christmas.
John Cory, who wrote the perspective, is a Vietnam Veteran. He received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star with V device, 1969 - 1970. Visit his site, you might enjoy.
John starts out with this, posted on Christmas Day, another reason for the song and video:
"A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear."
- John Lennon
Music is a powerful touchstone, so while you're reading this, put on "Happy Christmas (War is Over)." Let it play in the background.
I will leave out some of what John wrote, visit the link to read, but will put here a big chunk of my fellow 'Nam Vets thoughts on this Christmas 2007, the gifts, under the tree, of our present president to the Nation:
They are the gifts a president gives his country; his legacy and promise for the future, his servitude to "We the People" and his vision of America.
So here under the tree, dazzling and glossy in sateen bows and velvet ribbons are the gifts of this president:
Sparkle-laden paper wrapped around a box of Fear. The plastic paranoia sealed package contains all the colors of Fear from brown to yellow to pink and purple. A small booklet of instructions is included on how to apply Fear to every situation and person not "one of us," and how to brush on racism, homophobia and bigotry with the mascara of mendacity.
A flag-covered box of brightly painted brittle toy soldiers and game board, plus interchangeable body parts for when they get broken from too much rough play. Each toy soldier is hand-painted, unnumbered and anatomically neutered to withstand everything but real war. Families not included.
There is the whirring and buzzing latest techno must-have, self-injectable Micro-Thought Chip. A gift from your government to monitor your thoughts and ideas and provide auto electro-pulse correction should you waver from acceptable mind processes. A gift certificate is included for all your left-thinking friends. Let them embrace the light.
A small gossamer-covered box with one of those glass globes you shake to create a snow flurry - only this one encases "Democracy" and when you shake it, a crystal storm of red, white and blue flakes spins madly about until "Democracy" disappears.
And the last gift is a huge box with a thousand ribbons and bows and soft crinkle tissue paper taped and mangled together as though made by a child, but when you get it all unwrapped - it's empty. Or so you think. It is a box of sadness. A place for broken dreams of what has been lost. A place to store the faded Polaroid postcards of the America that once was. An empty box big enough to hold a heart full of holes from nearly 4,000 troops killed by the lies that cradle the deceit and treachery that sold a war for the benefit of the few who line their pockets with the lives of our loved ones. It's a big empty box that can hold the despair of 126 veterans who commit suicide every week in this country. Room enough for the 20 to 30 percent of troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD. But not big enough for a mother or father to crawl inside and rummage around for the touch and smell of the child killed or maimed in this war.
But there's one more, almost overlooked:
And then you spot it. The small package under the back branches of the tree, strings of tinsel dripping down and nearly covering the box. So tiny and forlorn. Not the same as the others. It looks so fragile, so precious. And you open it carefully, not ripping or tearing the paper while gingerly pulling the ribbon bows and lift the top off and then, wide-eyed, you smile. It's stunning. It makes you giggle and tremble at the same time. You search for the card, but there is none.
You'll have to vist Johns Perspective to find out what's in this last gift, a gift I doubt was left by you know who!
Now during the Holiday grab fest of materialistic items, at a Mall in Madison Wisconsin, a small group of Pro-Peace activists were giving respect, by reading the names of those killed in the Iraq Debacle, Military and Civilian, as we approarched the day we celebrate as the Birth of The Prince of Peace, the baby Jesus.
Now in the video these activists mention that some of the parents they encountered weren't to happy with what they were doing and stated that this small group were Scaring their small children.
My guess would be that at least a few of these children were thinking "Right mom or dad, this group is Scaring us! Now how about the little children of Iraq as the Bombs are Dropping or the Artillery and others Weapons are fired, or living in a Country being Destroyed, Don't You Think These 'Children' Were Scared, Freightened"!
You see, no matter where adults exist in this world, Kids are pretty damn smart and figured out already that many Adults just plain don't make sense, no matter their education!
Lets hope more kids develope their inner gifts, common sense, critical thought, intelligence, much better than the Adults around them that allowed these gifts to just fade away, never to return!
You may laugh, you may cry but you'll certainly think a lot about what's going on in our world after you hear these political/protest/country/folk style songs about peace, sung by members of Veterans for Peace.
