My God, BRING EM HOME!
The right (wing) seems to be NOT SO RIGHT on anything of importance like the pursuit of happiness, freedom AND WAR!... All the wool that has been pulled over their eyes by their trusted leaders (POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS) has blinded them to OUT AND OUT RAGE!
Good God, I wished these people could get pissed off about all the disparities and insults this neoconservative plutocracy has brought upon the average working American...!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM...??? THEY SEEM TO WANT TO VENT THEIR HATE ONLY AT DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS... LIKE POOR MISGUIDED SHEEP, THEY DO NOT REALIZE WHERE THE HATE BELONGS????
If what happened to the two soldiers who were bestially TORTURED TO DEATH doesn't make their blood boil... nothing will... and all over the Internet I see rationalizations that the torture had nothing to do with how the bush-shits handled the Iraq war fiasco... Such as this from the RIGHT WING HOWLER
OUR CAPTURED SOLDIERS ARE DEAD
Meanwhile, the LameStream Media and their sycophants on the left (to include Democratic
Congress-Critters) will soon be out in force telling us, “We told you so! Killing Zarqawi led to this!”
All the while, no one in the media will DARE call the UN Human Rights Council or AmNasty Internatshithole on the carpet demanding to know why it is OK for terrorists to do this but when we accidentally drop one of these camel fornicators’ korans or put panties on their heads, we are torturers and abusers of human rights and violators of the Geneva Convention. Why is it the Geneva Convention and Human Rights only apply to us? I thought prisoners of war were supposed to be accorded certain rights?
Where is the outrage?
It is way past time that our military ought to adopt a new approach to this war: when terrorists are captured, we ought to bring out the video cameras, torture the piss out of these bastards, flay the skin off their bodies with a cat o’ nine tails, dunk them in salt water and when they scream, rip their tongues out and shove it up their asses. Then we should just cut their heads off.
All on video.
Then put on DVD and distributed along with free DVD players to entire communities.
We need to let these scumbags know we can also play their game.
HOLY COW, AN ANN COUTER WANNABEE!
I wish I could get inside of one of these delusional minds on the right and see how the hell they come to such cockamamie conclusions.
I'M PISSED, for sure! I believe this administration is responsible for every BLOODY incident in this stinking war. Take for instance...It was reported that the Pentagon has decided to remove a reference to Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions from a new edition of the Army Field Manual on interrogation. That article bans torture and cruel treatment as well as "outrages on personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment." The change, which would reverse decades of military policy, follows President Bush's declaration in 2002 that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to "unlawful combatants" such as terrorists. FROM HARPER'S WEEKLY which I posted on thinkingblue blog.
"Our son, as far as we're concerned, he has died for the freedom of everybody in the United States," Tucker's father, Wes Tucker, said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show Wednesday.
He talked with pride about his son's enthusiasm and devotion to his work, but while he was grieving, he said he also understood that his son was a soldier in a war.
HUH? I feel the most profound sympathy for these families but it does not stop me from asking: What planet do you people come from...????
Can such trite rhetoric really make you feel at peace with how your sons died and for what????
When I envision someone I love, suffering such a horrific doom, I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING... would probably windup being ME... for I couldn't ever continue with life while envisioning the hours upon hours of agonizing pain and fear my loved one went through ...
These two young men died a thousand times before it was over!!!!
It seems to me, the minds on the right can't empathize or FEEL ...(THEY ARE TOO WELL VERSED IN THE ART OF RATIONALIZATION WHICH KEEPS THEIR FALSE BELIEFS FROM SEEMING FAUX!) It will probably take a long, long time (if ever) before these "blinded by the right" souls, will ever see any light or realize WHERE TO PLACE BLAME... Too, too sad!
WHY AREN'T WE ALL OUTRAGED, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AT A GOVERNMENT WHO TAKES GOING TO WAR SO LIGHTLY?
THIS UNNECESSARY WAR THE NEOCONS HAVE THRUST US IN, SHOULD MAKE US ALL ANGRY, INDIGNANT, CHOLERIC, IREFUL, FURIOUS, INCENSED, LIVID, MAD, RABID, WRATHRUL AND MAKE ALL OF US WANT TO SHOUT IN UNISON... MY GOD, BRING EM HOME NOW! thinkingblue

I clicked on my daily email from GotLaughs.com, which I do from time to time... Each morning when I open my mail service I find, so much out there to read and digest, usually gotlaughs and i.euniverse.com does not get much attention from me. But Rump Ranger caught my eye, and so, being the curious person I am... I thus CLICKED AWAY!
At any rate, GotLaughs does not shun away from the vulgar, which is obvious in RUMP RANGER. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a bit of deficiency in taste from time to time, especially when sprinkled with humor as in this little cartoon, of Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling in prison, illustrates.
These two crooks certainly do not deserve any pardons or sympathy from the public... They screwed us EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE and not once did they feel culpability until THEY WERE CAUGHT! thinkingblue

THE IMPEACHMENT OF GEORGE W BUSH.
Today's posting goes and on... NO END IN SITE:
DESERT RATS LEAVE THE SINKING SHIP WHY RUMSFELD SHOULD NOT RESIGN
Friday Apr 14, 2006By Greg Palast Well, here they come: the wannabe Rommels, the gaggle of generals, safely retired, to lay siege to Donald Rumsfeld. This week, six of them have called for the Secretary of Defense's resignation. Well, according to my watch, they're about four years too late -- and they still don't get it. I know that most of my readers will be tickled pink that the bemedalled boys in crew cuts are finally ready to kick Rummy In the rump, in public. But to me, it just shows me that these boys still can't shoot straight. It wasn't Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld who stood up in front of the UN and identified two mobile latrines as biological weapons labs, was it, General Powell? It wasn't Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld who told us our next warning from Saddam could be a mushroom cloud, was it Condoleeza? It wasn't Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld who declared that Al Qaeda and Saddam were going steady, was it, Mr. Cheney? Yes, Rumfeld is a swaggering bag of mendacious arrogance, a duplicitous chicken-hawk, yellow-bellied bully-boy and Tinker-Toy Napoleon -- but he didn't appoint himself Secretary of Defense. Let me tell you a story about the Secretary of Defense you didn't read in the New York Times, related to me by General Jay Garner, the man our president placed in Baghdad as the US' first post-invasion viceroy. Garner arrived in Kuwait City in March 2003 working under the mistaken notion that when George Bush called for democracy in Iraq, the President meant the Iraqis could choose their own government. Misunderstanding the President's true mission, General Garner called for Iraqis to hold elections within 90 days and for the U.S. to quickly pull troops out of the cities to a desert base. "It's their country," the General told me of the Iraqis. "And," he added, most ominously, "their oil." Let's not forget: it's all about the oil. I showed Garner a 101-page plan for Iraq's economy drafted secretly by neo-cons at the State Department, Treasury and the Pentagon, calling for "privatization" (i.e. the sale) of "all state assets ... especially in the oil and oil-supporting industries." See it here. The General knew of the plans and he intended to shove it where the Iraqi sun don't shine. Garner planned what he called a "Big Tent" meeting of Iraqi tribal leaders to plan elections. By helping Iraqis establish their own multi-ethnic government -- and this was back when Sunnis, Shias and Kurds were on talking terms -- knew he could get the nation on its feet peacefully before a welcomed "liberation" turned into a hated "occupation." But, Garner knew, a freely chosen coalition government would mean the death-knell for the neo-con oil-and-assets privatization grab. On April 21, 2003, three years ago this month, the very night General Garner arrived in Baghdad, he got a call from Washington. It was Rumsfeld on the line. He told Garner, in so many words, "Don't unpack, Jack, you're fired." Rummy replaced Garner, a man with years of on-the-ground experience in Iraq, with green-boots Paul Bremer, the Managing Director of Kissinger Associates. Bremer cancelled the Big Tent meeting of Iraqis and postponed elections for a year; then he issued 100 orders, like some tin-pot pasha, selling off Iraq's economy to U.S. and foreign operators, just as Rumsfeld's neo-con clique had desired. Reading this, it sounds like I should applaud the six generals' call for Rumfeld's ouster. Forget it. For a bunch of military hotshots, they sure can't shoot straight. They're wasting all their bullets on the decoy. They've gunned down the puppet instead of the puppeteers. There's no way that Rumsfeld could have yanked General Garner from Baghdad without the word from The Bunker. Nothing moves or breathes or spits in the Bush Administration without Darth Cheney's growl of approval. And ultimately, it's the Commander-in-Chief who's chiefly in command. Even the generals' complaint -- that Rumsfeld didn't give them enough troops -- was ultimately a decision of the cowboy from Crawford. (And by the way, the problem was not that we lacked troops -- the problem was that we lacked moral authority to occupy this nation. A million troops would not be enough -- the insurgents would just have more targets.) President Bush is one lucky fella. I can imagine him today on the intercom with Cheney: "Well, pardner, looks like the game's up." And Cheney replies, "Hey, just hang the Rumsfeld dummy out the window until he's taken all their ammo." When Bush and Cheney read about the call for Rumsfeld's resignation today, I can just hear George saying to Dick, "Mission Accomplished." Generals, let me give you a bit of advice about choosing a target: It's the President, stupid. ********** Read more about the untold story of General Garner and the secret war plans in ARMED MADHOUSE, by Greg Palast, to be released June 6.
