Some Folks Are Born Made To Wave The Flag,
Ooh, They're Red, White And Blue
But When The Band Plays Hail To The Chief,
They Point The Cannon Right At You

Don't he look good in that specially tailored
army windbreaker (Oxxford Suits, no doubt, http://www.oxxfordclothes.com/suntimes.asp)?
I might buy it if he had some real military
experience, but no, he didn't even finish national
guard service (http://www.awolbush.com/).
And look at the rest of the right-wing war crowd,
who can't wait to send the sons and daughters of
America's poor into Iraq: look at their military
experience (http://www.awolbush.com/whoserved.html).
These are the people who questioned the patriotism
of Max Cleland and Tom Daschle, who question the
patriotism of anyone who disagrees with them..Chickenhawk
(http://www.nhgazette.com/chickenhawks.html)
doesn't begin to describe it. What describes
it is unprintable in writing for regular consumption...
Let's be straight here. Saddam Hussein is
a nasty man, and we would all be much better off without him.
When we conquer Iraq, we are not going to have
to ask permission of our fine friends the Saudis to use air bases,
and we are going to make some bad people very
nervous. Not to mention that we will have effective control
of Iraqi oil, which will make us much less dependent
on the fragile Saudi regime for the oil we so badly need...
But has the Bush Administration (I trust the people,
not the government) ever been straight one minute about
this with the American people? They have
produced no compelling evidence that Saddam has weapons of mass
destruction (I hate that phrase) and deny that
we are going to war while moving troops and material every day.
If being in reach of your enemies and a stable
oil supply is important to the survival of this country, say it.
This is not an election. Children (ours
and theirs) are going to die. The very least the Bush Administration
owes the American people is the truth about what
they are doing in our name...
