Just how STUPID do they think we are?
Although I do not often vent my spleen on this site with the venom that I should, particularly in light of the mess of things that Turdhead and his band of pirates have wrought, but today ... TODAY ... I heard that rat-bastard Rumsfeld on NPR during a press conference. In the snippet that they played, the foul bag of shit asserted that Iraq was about as safe as America, noting that most big cities have 200-300 homicides a year. And that got me thinking.

About suicide bombers.

About explosive devices set on roadways.

About the Green Zone under rocket and morter attack.

About people getting their fucking HEADS cut off on the internet.

About mangled and burned children.

Does he REALLY think that anyone ... ANYONE believes the crap that is spewing from his fetid piehole?

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

2. Doesn't matter...
... what other people think. What he thinks is all that's important.

These are just the little white lies that important people offer up to get through their busy, important days. :eyes:

3. Sorry, the new season of the Bachelor is on
and how 'bout them Cowboys?

Point being, yes a LOT of people believe that crap. I don't think you can change their minds. I think the biggest task this election is getting the Kerry voter to VOTE.

4. You see
war is NOT ugly or dangerous. Not like living in Detroit. I heard it too and it makes me want to cry.

6. A War Criminal speaks.
The BushCult listens.

Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumfailed has commted two violations of the Geneva Convention; thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

It is obvious that this is the case!.

7. Iraq is about the size of California. . .
and has approximately the same number of people (25 million). Statewide, California has about 130,000 people in law enforcement (this includes street officers, marshalls for the courts, prison administrators, etc.) . . . about the same number as there are American military in Iraq today. The mission has been "accomplished," so there is no "military" function left. Therefore, the military in Iraq fills the function today of law enforcement. In about the same numbers and in the same proportion as there are police and citizens in California.

The next time some ill-informed individual posits the same idiocy as Mr Rumsfailed did today, ask them if, in all honesty, they would be extolling the safety and stability of California if, in the past 3 weeks, better than 60 police officers had been murdered statewide?

I'll give you the answer: Anyone who did would be impeached before the sun set on their sorry ass.

Same size, shape, and about the same number of people.

13. From my almanac, a few years old
area population
Iraq 167,925 sq mi 23,500,000
California 158,693 " 27,355,000
Texas 267,339 " 18,420,000

I think CA is a closer match...
;-)

11. You enjoyed his slick way of reminding us to FEAR?!
Doncha forget...... *we* are subject to all those same things, y'know..... Bogeyman around every corner, waiting to mug us.

Great way to exploit our crime rate, rather than do something about it.

Great way to remind us that we, too, can have terra attacks here.

Fetid piehole, indeedy.

:nuke: :nuke: :mad: :nuke: :nuke:

14. Didn't you know Iraq is the number one vacation destination
People are flocking there because it is so safe and so many of the world's treasures are located there. Well they used to be anyway and people aren't exactly flocking there no matter what that war criminal had to say.

16. That bit of oratorical sewage from rumsoaked
made my bullshit meter peg. Never would I have thought such nonsensical justifications for a failed policy been offered as truth. With a straight face! I got news for ya Rummy, You're over. The crap you're sellin' is tainted buddy and everybody knows it. I will laugh till my sides hurt when you are charged with war crimes and watch as you are taken away in handcuffs. You miserable old man.

19. New Job for "W" starting 1/20/2005
He can be the new Iraqi Intelligence Minister. Same qualifications as the old one!

Just don't tell him that none of the cameras are actually on, and he can blather this stuff harmlessly for the rest of his years. :)
