OH HAPPY DAY! The Iranians are releasing the 15 Brits, now everyone can go back to sleep. At the beginning of a discussion forum that Iam a chartered member, when the whole nuke thing came up; everyone was up in arms saying this, that, whatever. Hopefully, you will remember the strong words from the US, Iran and whoever else could find a mike to speak into.

OK, you remember the harsh words from both sides about nukes. On the forum, there were all kinds of calls for action by the US; I on the other hand said that the Iranian pres was playing to the band that the real power was the Council. But no one would hear that, he was serious about blowing up the world. I can only so much stupidity, before I have to turn and laugh my way out of the room. All the flippin’ experts knew what he was up to and he intewnded to do with the nukes; and probably only a handful could find Iran on a map. Experts my ass!

Well CHUQ, what does this have to do with 15 Brits? Good question! All the harsh rhetoric and chest thumping has lead to what? The Council, the real power in Iran and not the pres, decided enough was enough. They saw that the longer it went on the worse Iran appeared on the world stage. Iran has its hands full with sanctions, nukes and such, there was no need for further complications. Two days the Council, IMO, told the Guard and the Pres it was time for it to end. And so it ended!

In a closing shot, the Iranian Pres told the UK not to persecute the troops for anything they may have said.

Everything that I said in the Forum, was restated in the media by well paid experts. Since I am paranoid, LOL, I think my blog is being read.

Do you recall after the 1st of the year, you kno0w when those guys took control of the Congress? Both sides said they wanting to work with the other to improve the nation. What Happened? These dinks are not working together, they are confronting and battling each other.

Whose fault is it? Depends on which side of the political spectrum you stand when you answer the question. Do you want the Iraq War to continue–then it would be the Democrats fault and if you want the war to end–then the Reubs are the bad guy. If you are like me and do not give a sh*t about either of the two, then you would have to see that it is a combination of both.

First, we elected Bush president, not king! All his rhetoric about the bills before the Congress, on the war, he sounds like a monarch. King George–has a nice ring to it–only if you an idiot!

Now, the Dems–they do not want to compromise–why? They seem to think that they got some mandate from the people–they did not! What they got was an anger vote!

The American people are the losers in this tug-of-war between the Congress and Bush. While they play word games, Americans continue to die; Iraqis continue to die. Where is the problem? This is what you get by putting your faith in wealthy elitists to do your bidding. The voter will get burn everytime.

The American voter, what can I say? Individually, they are a smart and, at times well informed. But let an election come around and they become a collection of dumbasses. The vote with heart; they vote with emotion and they seem to want to be lied to and on a regular basis.

One of my fav quotes is, “Stupidity is the cultivation of ignorance”. Well said!

I guess if you are at least interested in what is happening to this country, you watch the news and in doing so, you formulate your opinion on what you see. Is that about right? Damn Skippy!

I realize I will be mentioning something from the past and some may not remember that far back, I mean it has been 3 months or so, a distant past for the mentally challenged. But I digress! If you recall after the elections in Nov. and the resounding defeat of the Bush machine; the Dems started thumping their chest about the war. Of course, none of it was the same as the pres and so the war of words began. The Dems spouting anti-war this and that, the Pres spouting pro stay the course. And then the Pres said that if the Dems have any ideas to offer them.

COOL! I said in this blog back in Jan. , I believe, that foreign policy was the Pres’s gig, funding was Congress’s gig and then I stated that if the Dems actually offer alternatives then they would be attacked for trying to do the Pres job.

SH*T–I WAS RIGHT! The Dems have offered their versions of the war plan and now they are being accused of trying to take the Pres job and micro=managing the Iraq War.

Are you surprised? If so, go back to sleep. All you have to do is realize politics is a game played by the wealthy and once you realize that–predictions are not that hard, and with time you can look like an expert.

Has everyone seen or heard Bush’s latest statement? You know the one where he called Iran’s taking of the Brits as “inexcuseable behavior”?

Come on he lied to the American people and has caused the deaths of 3200+ citizens and Iran is “inexcuseable”? This guy is either dumber than turnip or he is more ballsy than Spuds MacKenzie. What is the old saying, “the pot calling the kettle black”?

US politics is such an amusing game with amusing players. Does he not realize that he is being hypocritical?

Hopefully, all you have been paying attention at the circumstances talking place within the US. The anti-war movement is gaining momentum. What started with a distraught mother sitting outside Bush’s ranch is now taking a page from the 60’s and 70’s; they are taking it to the streets.

Across the US from NYC to San Francisco, protests were recently held and a powerful message is beginning to take shape. From all sections of the political spectrum being represented, from middle of the road organizations to the far left, all are concerned with the actions of this president. Most are deeply concerned with the amount of American troop loses and the rise in injuries. Even active duty soldiers are becoming involved with the fight against this war.

The movement is growing rapidly and organizationally. More protests, more “taking it to the streets” will be in the plans. As a matter of fact, May 1st will be the next big protest.

The troops need to show their support by going to anti-war sites and giving them their support. The more pressure put onto the government the more likely an end to the maddness will be found.

Do not be fooled by the political games played in washington. These indiviuals are gamers from the start; it is all about preception, not about reality. The Congress needs to be constantly reminded who has the power. If we allow them to work unchecked, we have such occurances as the war in Iraq, an obscenity of the highest magnitude.

I say to the American troops, “We are working hard to end this nightmare and that you should do your part and add your voice to the protests. You are the ones tasked with carry out the obscenities of the Bush administration and you can help end it, once and for all.”

Do not be fooled, my fellow vets, I was a voice in the end of my war, Vietnam, and I feel it was my patriotic duty to do my part to end the obscenity of war. Do not let anyone tell you that your stance against war is unpatriotic, that is a LIE>

So I say to all, Vote in the streets! Take It To The Streets! you have the power–USE IT!

Ok we have accidents that kill one person, we have tornadoes that kill 3 people, we have a house fire no deaths–is this not something for local news? Why is this on national? National news is just that–stuff that effects us –nationally. I say leave it to the local people that is what they get paid to do and the national press stick to national and international news.

If they cannot do that then start reporting the individual deaths of injured vets and troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Good lord, the national media has turned 2, count them, 2, border agents into some kinkd of cult thing. And we seem to worry about 8 lawyers who lost their jobs–boo-hoo–they are lawyers!–they will find a way to make enough money to support themselves in the lifestyle they have become accustomed.

What about the many, many vets that are being crapped on daily? They need a champion! Someone in the media please do the right thing and help these people–they are suffering and they need our support.

I have no time to worry about 8 bottom feeders who lost their jobs–who cares about the unemployed American workers–BTW, there are more than 8 I have no time for self-serving dicks like Lou Dobbs–I suggest if he wants to gain respect then pick something that effects more than 2 people. Oh it is the principle of the thing–SCREW THE PRINCIPLE!

There are Americans suffering mental and physical pain because of the country’s desire to be, well whatever it is it desires–it is time for someone to be held accountable for these people and the anguish the country is putting them through. So a couple of agents went to jail–how many are in jail because of BS?

The country asked these people to do their duty–most did their exceptionally–the country and the admin used these people up, then it abandons them. This is not something new, the country been doing this for 30 years or more–time to stand up for the people you have used and to see that they get ALL the help they need and definately deserve.
