Politics & Government - 1 October 2006

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

--Hermann Wilhelm Göring (also Goering in English) (January 12, 1893 – October 15, 1946) was a German politician and military leader, a leading member of the Nazi Party, second in command of the Third Reich.

Any Revolutionary or Civil War movie I see, the infantry stay in enormous unifrom blocks and exchange a "courteous" couple of shots where the the first couple rows of each army inevitabley get killed before they charge at each other with bayonets. Why was warfare so organized and courteous in this fashion? I perceive it as being inefficient and wasteful...

I notice that a lot of female soldiers who have been killed in Iraq or on deployments have been Army, Navy, or Marine soldiers. Does anyone know the likelihood of being deployed into combat as a female in the Air Force, IF YOU ARE ENTERING AS AN OFFICER? I wasn't sure if it was different for Enlisted females and female Officers. Thanks.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, 'right' or 'wrong', is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Theodore Roosevelt (1918)


So is the Iraq war "right" or "wrong" ?

Pres. Bush says it's to liberate Iraq; and therefore "right".

Pres. Bush's critics say it's to put an U.S. controled government in Iraq; and have at their oil; and therefore "wrong".

So which is it ? ? ?

Republicans and or conservatives. Nixon CUTS and RUNS from Vietnam. Iran blackmails Reagan with hostages (Carter got tough and sent in special forces until chopper was shot down) so Reagan arms Iran and the Contras.

Reagan CUTS and RUNS from Hezbollah in Lebanon when they bomb a marines barracks. Reagan and Bush arm, train, finance Bin Laden and his boys in Afghanistan (the CIA operative who was the go between said on p.b.s that he warned Reagan and Bush to stop dealing with Bin Laden, but they ignored him thus ending any excuse of “we were helping him to destroy the Russian occupation”. http://www.consortiumnews.com/Print/091701a.html

Reagan, Bush, Rumsfeld give Saddam chemical weapons. Hundreds of thousands die during this long ordeal (including an estimated 90,000 infants and toddlers which is more in that time span then abortions for a decade) Saddam runs out and then we stop arming him. That’s why we knew there were no WMD’s in Iraq.

Reagan, Bush arm and finance the Taliban. Bush’s go into business with the Bin Ladens (Carlyle Group). Bush’s become great friends with the Saudi Royal family, the same family which has financed terrorism for years. Dubya ignores Presidential Daily Brief which says “Bin Laden determined to strike U.S.”. George Tenant Begs Bush to be on alert for airplane hijackings from Arab students who are being trained to fly aircraft, but not how to take off or land. Congress wants a budget of 3 million to combat terrorism, Bush squashes this and gives zero, that’s zero dollars to terrorism. Richard Clark constantly warns Bush about terrorist attacks that will be coming soon, Bush ignores him. 9/11/01 We are hit on Bush’s watch and Bush looks like an idiot on TV when he finds out we are under attack, and operation blame Clinton because Bush is an idiot begins.

Bush protects the Bin Laden family before 9/11 when the FBI was told to back off Bin Ladens brother who was funneling money to Al-Qaeda http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/articleshow?art_id=1030259305after 9/11. Bush tries handing over port security to countries linked to terrorism. Bush cuts a deal with Pakistan, a country to be well known to be a safe haven for terrorism. Now Pakistan has cut a deal with Al-Qaeda.

Bush is opening up our borders to Mexico and Canada soon allowing terrorists free reign in America, and handing over a hundred thousand jobs to Mexicans to be in charge of our cargo security, and all importing and exporting (this one is from Conservative Republicans http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965 )

People start making excuses “we haven’t been attacked in five years. Experts then ask “what about five years and one month, this shuts up Republicans.

Americans invent a new drinking game called “if in doubt blame Clinton”. Whenever a nut case Republican or conservative tries to put blame on Clinton to divert attention away from the Republicans terror record (see above, or read your high school history books) take one shot of whiskey.

The question is do you still feel safe? And will Republican conservatives quit arming, training, financing all our enemies?

Is the amount of ridiculous questions coming from staunch republicans flooding this site? I can't believe the amount of rhetorical questions used to promote the asker's opinions. Its one thing to suggest a side and provoke debate, it's a complete other to flame a party and make yourself look like a goon.
