Is bush trying to screw up even more in Iraq, the M.E., and the war on terror?
Now he is going to expand the war by either taking on Muqtadà as?-S?adr and his
Sadr Army or looking to start some crap w/ Iran?

We can not and should not be a taking any one faction's side in the Civil War that we kicked off
by our invasion because that is just madness.

The factor's that have me worried are:

Sending in more troops
Not following the report put out by Baker / hamilton
Cheney's trip to Saudi Arabia
bush's looking for and now finding some generals who agree w/
him and his "vision for victory."
Sending in another aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf
The Joint Chiefs of Staff disagreeing with him
Some top Generals quitting.
Just now noticing that the Mid East will not have peace until the Israel v
Palestine problem is fixed and then sending in Condi to work on it.
and the fact that w/ the upcoming investigations he is now a trapped
rat trying to escape his fate.

1. We also having to confront the fact that the Dems in power are
either complicit or too weak/confused to do anything to stop him. Looks like last month's elections did next to nothing to change the direction of the country.

2. The only reason some generals now support *
Is that he bribed them by his huge flip-flop on supporting an increase in the size of the military. Back in 2004 in the debates with Kerry, Bush said if we increased the size of the military, it would be harmful to national security.

3. He is the ultimate redneck
What's the last thing you hear a redneck say?

"HEY YA'LL WATCH THIS." He is playing to his strength. Which, as rational human beings know, is fucking up. Seeing a disaster and wanting to make it a bigger disaster because he and his kind are too stupid to get out and too proud to admit error. They are "conservatives" and they are supported by the ignorant trash of our country.

7. Some of that ignorant trash is being fed lies by Fox news, Rush, Pastors,
and bush & company that Iraq had something to do w/ 9/11 and that
"we are fighting em over there so we don't have to fight em over here."
(Support of the troops & country goes to the very core of some Americans
and they just do not have the make up to really look @ the truth)

Billions and billions is spent to keep "them" in the dark and in bush's corner.
Although, sadly with each new death, wounding, or troop coming home who tells
how fucked up Iraq is more people are coming to the "light."

6. The more opposition he faces, the more he concludes he is a heroic maverick.
I really think so. That's what all this talk about how only history will juege him correctly is about.

He thinks he is a brave. bold hero.

9. We have not learn't any lesson
by dealing with Iraq. We firstly took on the Sunni government of Saddam & then called for elections that saw a majority Shia government. Now we are going to send more troops to take on the Shia's of Al Sadr. This will only give more power to the Sunnis & increase the attacks in this civil war. The Shiites will be left defenseless. I did not know we wanted more deaths. But then again I forget how stupid the WH is.

10. 2 things
1. President chuckle nuts did know the difference 'tween Sunni or Shi ites less then 2
months before the war.

2. The Saudis told Cheney that they did not want the U.S. to pull out and that
they wanted the Shi forces "put under control."

So as of now we have produced a Pro Iranian Shi theocracy that can be the host
to terrorists, given Shi Army & police units weapons & training, sent home the
Sunni Army after the war w/ their guns, and the Kurds are now split off which
Turkey & Iran both see as a threat. * really has got us into a shit hole.
