It's been a few days since my last posting because I needed some time to gather my thoughts. I was deeply troubled by an article I read in the New York Daily News on Friday. I was walking home, it was beautiful out, and I opened the newspaper to an article that showed a smirking George W. Bush on the floor, searching for something underneath a chair. That was a picture of W. mocking the nation and also the world. See for yourself another article at CNN.com:
Bush's WMD jokes draw criticism

I couldn't walk for a few moments. I just stood on the busy street with my hand outstretched to the sky in disbelief. After I recovered, I came home and turned on the television. The president refused to testify for the 9/11 committee and Condaleeza Rice refuses to go on the record. Rice Asserts She Can't Testify
What is the point of testifying off the record? You do that on the television news, in interviews, what are you so afraid of? This administration is looking more and more guilty to the WORLD and I would love to be happy and to say, now is where the tides turn, but they aren't scared. They have that much arrogance that they can allow themselves to look as if they have done something criminal, something to be ashamed of, by virtue of not testifying and its all good. What does that tell us? That there is more to come. That there can be as many committees and panels and investigations as we want to get to the truth but really, in our hearts, we know the truth. And the truth doesn't matter. That's why it is possible for W. to make fun of not finding WMD's at a fund raiser. Because he feels he is untouchable. They, the Corporate Capitalist Crusaders, as I like to call them, if I may be so bold as to talk in comic book language as our president does, they have rigged the country in a way so that we can organize and protest and vote, but what does it really amount to? Unless we have a unified public that says NO MORE! They can continue to pander to those who donate to their re-election. Imagine it, coming soon to a headline near you: US Invades Thailand! It could happen. According to this article from the Manila Times (an article similar to this was on Yahoo but mysteriously disappeared):

A question on the National Republican Congressional Committee's Ask America 2004 Nationwide Policy Survey asks: "Should America broaden the war on terrorism into other countries that harbor terrorists such as Thailand, Somalia, the Philippines, etc.?"
Accompanying the committee's survey, which also poses questions about health care, the economy and other issues, was a four-page letter signed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican, that seeks money to help "keep the Republican Party in control of the US House."

You can read the entire thing at RP, Thailand Blast Terror Tag

So just imagine a world where the rich, those that can afford to pay handsomely to the Republicans, can wage war on any country of their choosing! That was pretty brilliant to hand out a questionnaire to your target demographic so you know where the high rollers stand on important issues, allowing you to plan your malicious and deceptive deeds accordingly! Right On!

The truth comes out at these fundraisers, folks. Its a place where W. can be the real W. and make fun of the war he created with lies, bullying, and manipulation. Its funny to think of the billions we have spent on this war while people are unemployed and disenfranchised and American society is rotting FROM the core.
It's hilarious to make fun while elections are being rigged, futures being sealed, and families are kissing their loved ones goodbye for what might be the last time. It's funny if you are George W. Bush.

Well, Mr. President, I would like to introduce you to 692 people that aren't laughing. US/Coalition Casualties That is not to mention their families, the 3,383 soldiers that were injured and have to live the rest of their lives without limbs, hearing, etc. and with post-traumatic stress, and the families of those soldiers that are forced to see their husbands and wives, their children, come back as different, shells of the people they used to be. Also, the victims and their families of 9/11 who had their deaths used as tool of manipulation for war and now, re-election. And the millions of other citizens of this country who aren't laughing. The time has come for you to explain yourself and we are waiting.
