sure boosted his ratings, so it couldn't have been too uninspiring. |
Everything in this article implies nothing really changed other than more and more fickle americans are thinking we should slaughter Iraq because he rattled off some unverifiable numbers. "Those who watched the speech were more likely to be Republican than Democratic, which is typical in polls of those who watch such speeches. Pollsters say that those who like a president are more likely to tune in." Admit it nate, you could convice the general American public that an attack against Norway was justified if you needed to. |
i don't care what the people of america think. on war with iraq, no one has enough information to make a judgement. on the economy, the average person has credit card debt that will take 10+ years to pay off- what do they know about economics? i'm sick of these mush brained lefties bitching about tax cuts favoring the rich. duh, we have a progressive tax code. any fair tax cut is going to favor the people who pay most of the taxes. people complaining that spending is going up while we make tax cuts. duh, we're in a recession, you're supposed to run a deficit. yes, patrick, you can convince the general american public of just about anything. and the media does a fine job of filling heads with irrational crap. |

It is obvious to the world that saddam needs to be yanked. |
what is for sure is what is effecting me directly.what i see right in front of me. My increased healthcare, which im relatively comfortable with. What im not comfortable with is the lack of accessibility of healthcare to those i care about. Medicine can be "socialized" without being socialized. I know the term scares the fuck out of people, but with our abundance, basic healthcare should be a given. Read not given away, but a no brainer. I have plenty of friends who work freelance in the film business are outside the union who have no healthcare. My friend visiting from NYC works in a high-dollar manhatten restaurant and doesnt have healthcare. The kind of place that hosts people like Bill Clinton, Jim Carey, Lou Reed to name a few and he can't afford to go to a god damn dentist. Why? CNN cited 45,000 people died last year due to lack of proper healthcare. I take that for what its worth, as it IS CNN, but if its even remotely true how can we say we are protecting Americans by bombing the absurdly poor Iraqis while people are dying, right here under our nose, needlessly. Educations budgets are being shafted left and right with state and federal budgets going to shit. You know this. You know what is happening in CA. Of course my priorities are shifting. Its obvious. |
our government is doing to enrage nate than what the press is doing by entertaining people, because thats essnetially what the mainstream press has boiled down to. |
But the kiwi dollar is stronger against the US, up to 55c or something. Good god its like grown up talk. |
every free clinic is a shitload of textbooks that won't be bought, also. education is not the responsiblity of the federal government, patty. nor is healthcare. protecting the republic is. |
heh. that reality sunk in the other day in traffic, with my visiting bud and i. We were having a conversation about current model cars we liked, he cited the mini and i responded "yeah but a car seat in that fucker would be a nightmare". we both paused and looked at other and realized it seems like just the other day we were taking acid, stealing his parents wine and finding a thrill in staying out as late as possible. |
they have made such matters their responsibility and i expect them to follow through. the republic isnt threatened by saddam hussein at this moment. im not against ever taking appropriate action against him, just action now, citing the insubstantiated threat to coincide with a re-election. back with the same ole run around, protecting the republic could be better acheived with less foreign policy hypocrisy, and a more pragmatic approach to Iraq because of the inherent danger that america will face directly if we bomb. fuck im tired |
you don't find mass quantities of 'missing' chemical and biological weapons to be threatening? and do you think we should delay something that should be done asap just because elections are upon us? the major voices of opposition are germany and france, the former because shroeder ran on a pacifism ticket and the latter because france is benefiting hugely from the oil for food arrangements (moreso than any other country.) i'm tired too. |
so i could give a dribbly shit what bush says about anything. unless he has a solution for me, he can go hang. |
Nate, you seem rather brutish. The anthrax mailer worked for the U.S. defense department. get on with it. stop squabbling, bush is a dick. |
This is not good. |

Jeezus! |
"you don't find mass quantities of 'missing' chemical and biological weapons to be threatening?" define missing. missing from who? us? them? the simmering pot that is palestine. the struggle, anger & rage, poverty, abuse, oppression and arguably genocide of Palestinians and the desperation it subsequently inspires in its youth is far more scarier than Saddam with a nuke and arguably an equally potent threat to the US. Pakistan with nukes is far more scarier than Saddam with one. We deterred the "evil" Soviet Union, and have deterred far more powerful demagogues and tyrrants so, no, i don't agree he is as dangerous to us, right now, as they say. the best part is, all the grannies and local yokles the nation over are asking one hot shit question "What about Osama? What about the guy who killed 3000 Americans? Saddam never killed 3000 Americans, what happened to Osama?" |
These include tens of thousands of chemical munitions and thousands of tons of chemicals that were unaccounted for, a wall of lies over Iraq's biological weapons and inconsistencies in its claims over missiles. more dangerous to the american people than nukes at the moment. these weapons are easy to smuggle, easier than nukes. and anyone who says "saddam would never cooporate with al queda- he's secular and they're religious" needs to cut back on the dope. an enemy of my enemy is my friend. |

money yes. weapons, no. |
The leaders of Italy and Spain are notoriously conservative and the Danish, well those fuckers hate everyone. Its particularly disapointing to see the Czech Repub on board. Havel is an admirable post-commie leader but he must be desperate. last night i had a coalition of booze. it started with Hite and soju at a Korean bar/rest. Then i rounded that out with Newcastle off the tap and the I finally wrapped that up with some PBR from the tap. |
Italy has almost a Fascist government, just like out government is now. France and Germany have a higher gross national product than all of those countries mentioned including Italy and England. France has its own nuclear program, its own atomic bombs. they wisely decided about 1960 to have the 'force de frappe' so they wouldn't be like England who has their own nuclear submarines with two missiles on them. Israel has more missiles than China. to guarantee their survival. before they get "pushed into the sea" as they phrase it. Saddam does not have any nukes, or even a nuclear program. Bush is such an obnoxious little puss! Acting like a big bully. "I was never arrested!" What a bare-faced liar. Drunken driving. and they didn't mention that his wife was involved in an automobile accident where the other person was killed. it was hushed up. an unfortunate accident. Pray that the end of the world does not happen. Probably can't even dine at the Jerusalem deli now because they hate us. (as american) curtails travel plans unless you can "pass" |
"with promised US economic and *MILITARY* support |
Germany will let us use our bases in Germany in the strike. That's all the support they can offer anyway, so really it is just lip service to the German people. Saddam's nuclear program is not the main thrust. Why do you focus on it? |
it's a race of the vassals czech republic, portugal, italy the fascist government of europe, blair bush's poodle They're afraid of being overshadowed in europe by the big countries france and germany. bush and all of this makes me so sick. nelson mandella said the bush iS so arrogant and that the shrub can't think right. the group of people he was speaking to had to laugh reel hard. |

know how? because if they did, they'd be waving them around like spoiled little children who just got a cool new toy. LOOOOOOK at our BOMBS! LOOOK at how BIG and POWERFUL we are now!!! Aren't you SCARED of us?? every nation with that nuke power does the same shit. No one seems to be able to keep it in their pants or surprise people. Having these weapons turns countries into giant loud assholes. "absolute power..." etc... --- my favorite part was when he broke the news about finding a terrorist cell.... in Buffalo NY. oh good lord no... not Buffalo! They've REALLY trained these terrorists, if they survived more than a day in the depths of Buffalo. any bombing there woud surely be an improvement. |
