Jewish V For Vendetta movie glorifies terrorism by Bush Crime Family

http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/piratenewsrss/message/174

Gunpowder Plot to bomb British Parliament was exactly 400 years ago, perped by Constable Thomas Percy, ancester of Barbara Pierce Bush, mother of George Bush Jr.

(Includes Hangman game to test your knowledge of history of totalitarian dictatorships, and full history of Gunpowder Plot of 1605)

2006 movie gets 2 thumbs up for bombing terrorist Parliament in 2006, though the "British" Government is owned by Khazar AshkeNAZI "Jewish" banksters, and puppeteered by its Shadow Govt proxies, just like USA and every other nation on Earth. So what it's actually doing is glorifying the Bush Gang bombing the World Trade Center with prewired explosives in Controlled Demolitions. A cross between 1984 and 9/11, by the invisible Jewish Wakowski Bros - frontmen for Mishpucka KosherNostra?

Thomas Percy was summarily executed in a gunfight in tights. Co-conspirators was castrated in public, tortured in Tower of London, drawn and quartered, and heads put on spikes. Sort of like Abu Ghraib... Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated every November 5th, sort of a British combination of 4th of July and Halloween.

Bush, third cousin to Jewish German Queen Elizabeth of England, did it for the international "Jewish" banksters... His daddy is Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the BRITISH Empire, that bombed Washington DC and New Orleans in 1776, 1812, 2001 and 2005.

The Biggest Secret

by David Icke
www.davidicke.com

When you do the genealogy of the American presidents, it's stunning. This information comes from Burke's Peerage, which is the Bible of aristocratic genealogy, based in London. Every presidential election in America, since and including George Washington in 1789 to Bill Clinton, has been won by the candidate with the most British and French royal genes. Of the 42 presidents to Clinton, 33 have been related to two people: Alfred the Great, King of England, and Charlemagne, the most famous monarch of France. So it goes on: 19 of them are related to England's Edward III, who has 2000 blood connections to Prince Charles. The same goes with the banking families in America. George Bush and Barbara Bush are from the same bloodline - the Pierce bloodline (President Franklin Pierce - PNTV ed), which changed its name from Percy, when it crossed the Atlantic. Percy is one of the aristocratic families of Britain, to this day. They were involved in the Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament at the time of Guy Fawkes and all that. So, George Bush is related to Charlemagne and Alfred the Great. He is related to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. You know, these different bloodlines have taken different names, but they follow the genealogy like crazy. Because they go under different names, people obviously don't see the pattern. If Clinton and the secretary of state were Rockefellers and the main newsreader on NBC was a Rockefeller, then, people would say, excuse me, what's going on here. So, they have different names. That's irrelevant. It's the bloodline that matters. The Bush family is one example, because, over these last three generations, or so, it has carried the same name, and you can actually see the way it works. The idea that anyone can become president of the United States is utter bunkum, and that is a very important statement. That idea is actually one of the foundations of American's belief that they live in a free country. Well, I can tell you that it is absolutely untrue. If you go back two generations, according to the research, you find Prescot Bush, George Bush's father, was involved in various political maneuvers and he was a member of the Skull and Crossbones Society at Yale University. In the next generation, you have George, who was prepared from birth and brought up to hold positions of power, and he went on to become head of the CIA, the Vice President, and, in fact, President for three terms (two of them officially Reagan's). He was head of the Republican Party at the time of the Watergate hearings. He was a U.N. Ambassador and an unofficial ambassador to China. All these were key positions. Now, we are seeing the next generation of the Bush family - the Bush bloodline - with Jeb Bush the Governor of Florida and George W. Bush now being feted as the next President of the United States. So, you can see it over three generations, with the Bushes, but, in these other bloodlines, you can't see it because they have different names. According to Burke's Peerage, even according to the official genealogy, Bill Clinton is genetically related to the House of Windsor, the present royal family in Britain; to every Scottish monarch; to King Henry III of England; and to Robert I of France. I am seeing more and more compelling research information that Clinton is actually a Rockefeller, one generation back, which would explain a tremendous amount about why this so- called kid off the street of Arkansas was given a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, which only goes to hand-picked people (and why Jew William Jefferson Blythe III, a/k/a President Bill Clinton, vacations with the Bushes and Rockefellers every year at Satanic Bohemian Grove presidential retreat, where they perform mock child sacrifice to their 50-foot-tall stone/concrete idol of Baal/Molech/Satan, as caught on hidden undercover videotape by Alex Jones of Infowars radio, with help from Channel 4 and BBC - PNTV ed). He was put under the tutelage of Carol Quigley, one of the insiders at Georgetown University, who wrote massive tomes about the manipulation of this group in the 20th century, 'Tragedy and Hope' and 'The Anglo-American Establishment,' etc. At a very early age,
Clinton became governor of what everyone seemed to accept as the Rockefeller State of Arkansas. Then, of course, he became the President of the United States.

"President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III."

Access Denied for Reasons of National Security

by Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips
www.trance-formation.com

"They're not lizards." What about George Bush then?" David Icke asked. You talk about him turning into a lizard in TRANCE." "Not really," I countered. "I said he created an image of turning into a lizard." "TRANCE was written for Congress," Mark Phillips reminded him. "Congress already knows about holographic generators that produce such an image. They already know it's a hoax, regarding the equipment Bush used to perpetuate the illusion." O'Brien added, "I've heard Bush discussing the fact that people respond to snakes and lizards by freezing in fear. It was discussed and decided at Bohemian Grove that this lizard alien theme would render people helpless to do anything about mind control, wars, genocide and everything else leading them to the New World Order. The lizard theme was spread in the military along with Colonel Michael Aquino's Satanism in his Temple of Set."

Chrisisall and Piratejenny, Your absolutism sickens me. Because Hero doesn't agree with you,
Quote:

he's automatically the bad guy, why, I bet he even gobbles up babies.*shakes head sadly* You know nothing about him aside from what he's told you. By taking the stand that you have against him without information about his real character, you are no better than any conservative, George Bush and Adolf Hitler included. As for whether one of us is more like a Browncoat or a Purplebelly, who cares? Both sides want to help people. Both sides have their pro's and con's. It is possible for the two to agree on somethings though. You spend all your time focusing on the differences, but if you look closer and actually ask Hero, I bet he is as against infringing on the constitution as you are, he just has different reasons why.




well, well, isn't this oxymoronic!!

you accuse me of being absolute in my judgement because I don't agree with Zero and know nothing about him, and yet you know nothing about me except for what I post and your judging me, sorry charlie but you can't have it both ways.

And your wrong, Hero/ Zero has posted plenty about what he would do and wouldn't do and what he does and does not support, like when he said for example during the elections he was working at the polls and he said he would defintely try to stop a little old lady from excersing her right to vote, because he wanted his side to win, ( now that is something to be sickened about)

This is who Zero is and he's NO HERO!!..is Zero the bad guy because we disagree..I don't know I guess it depends on who you ask and if your asking me I would have to say yes although every A-hole has some good qualities I'm sure after all didn't Adolph Hitler like dogs!!..so what I'm saying is I don't think Zero is totally all bad, but he sure as hell isn't one of the good guys. I'd like to believe that there is hope for him, but I'm not holding my breath.

And your hypocritcal post sickens me, my beef with Zero has far less to do with the fact that we disagree on just about everything, and more to do with the way he presents himself as being something he isn't, and that he's just not honest, he's not being honest with himself, because I don't think anybody is buying what he's selling, he's always got some lame excuse for the things he supports, he tries to spin it as somehow being noble, like Chrisisall said, he just doesn't give a damn.

I'm not sorry you don't like what I have to say!
I gave up long time ago trying to have a logical conversation with Zero, its a waste of time.

And nobody is picking on Zero, he likes to Dish and from what I've seen he's more then capable of taking it!!

Do you think the Constitutional Convention created the foundation of our nation by hurling insults and mocking each other? OF COURSE NOT!!!


LMAO, Actually it was very much like that, and there was a whole lot of that goin on, I believe a healthy debate on any topic should involve a bit of snarkery and humor, cause otherwise it gets too serious and leads to folks shootin at each other.

Quote:

Yes they did! Some were gentlemen, but others were serious rabble-rousers. There was name calling, threats were made, fists were pounded against table-tops, inflammatory speeches were made, and on several occasions delegates threatened to walk out.

Political gatherings were WAY more intense in the days before t.v. brought them into everyone's home.



Yep, on that one I can agree, and in all honesty I think it worked out better that way, you can solve a lot more problems if you worry more about the issues than decorum, and brawls on the floor of the house and senate have NOT been unknown in our history, oh not at all.


If you would look at my later post, I cleared up what I meant. Here's a refresher: I didn't say that the Continental Congress never bickered or hurled insults back and forth, because as you both stated, they did. What I said was they didn't write the constitution this way. Ya know how they did get it written? C'mon, you can guess it, I've said it before... COMPROMISE! When tensions flared and folks did stuff, like threaten to leave, for example, they sat down, figured out what pissed off both sides, and wrote something up that worked for all parties involved. See? Compromise in action.

REAVERMAN

Quote:

you have no proof at all that George Bush broke any law.


Fact - the constitution is, by our law and government system, the highest law of the land.

Fact - the rights within are explicitly laid out, and to change, deny, or modify any of them requires an amendment, with the ratification process requiring three quarters of the states to agree upon it.

These facts are in no more dispute than the sun rising in the east.

Fact - certain members of our government, including, but not limited to the oval office, have signed and passed legislation that effectively denies some of those rights.

This did indeed "break the law", knowingly and with malice aforethought, especially when they chose to renew those acts in spite of them failing the test of constitutional trump.

(One might also mention that it's gross negligence on behalf of any congresscritter to sign a bill they have not read.)

Someone else mentioned "Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be, but that's not how it is", to paraphrase, and sure, reality has taken a different turn than intended, however....

Just because the government chooses to ignore the basis and foundation for it's very existance, does not make it right, or legal, not even one iota - it just makes it the situation of the time, backed up by military and police force, whether it's legal or not.

And don't give me any lines about might makes right either, that philosophy didn't help the roman empire very much, and is unlikely to help ours either.

Learn from history or repeat it's mistakes, and for the last time, explore some of this stuff rather than assuming - there's no excuse at all to not do so as it's easy enough to find, and interesting, entertaining, and informative reading besides.

Y'all should be attackin issues, not each other, that goes for all of ya.

-Frem



Okay, first of all, you took that last quote out of context. What I said was:"In fact, aside from the wiretapping (completely beyond presidential authority), you have no proof at all that George Bush broke any law".
That said, I should apologize for not making myself more clear. What I meant when I said that was there was no proof that he has committed the crimes of prisoner torture and lying about the WMD's. At the time, I didnt take the whole picture into account. Once again, I apologize.

Okay, folks, lemme boil down what I've been trying (and, admittedly, failing) to say. If you really wanna change the way things are, violently or not (I really dont care at this point), you have to learn to work as a group. If this thing goes foreward, you're gonna have to deal with members of the opposition sooner or later, so, wouldn't you rather have them on your side? That's what I've been meaning by the word 'compromise'. Look, I don't care if you think Bush is a traitor. Hell, I dont care if you think I'm a traitor. I want you guys to know that I respect that you stand up so firmly for what you believe, even if I dont respect what you believe. I respect you enough, that, though I disagree on some points, I want you to have a chance at getting what you feel so strongly about. What I also want to see though is a plan for change that includes as many sides of the issue as possible. Only by compromising (I know ya'll must be gettin' sick of that word; sorry) can you come up with something that will truly last. Best wishes folks...

Perhaps, perhaps perhaps, and perhaps you and others have a few perhaps of your own. The reason is personal and will remain so.



My questions are, did Zero ever watch Firefly and Serenity? If so, what did he appreciate about it?

Or, is Zero merely stalking this board for Dept of Homeland Security, paid bogus TIPS for every name he can report, as a confidential informant?

Depending upon how long Zero has been a persecutor for the Inquisition, there must be hundreds or thousands of decent people who HATE Zero FOREVER. For every evil person he locks up in Criminal University, how many innocent victims does he torture in a dungeon? 99% of all prosecutions by Gangsta Govt are bogus, ie, traffic citations. Zero is employed by Communist/Fascist organized crime rackets, judging by the current Police State of USSA. While prosecutors are certainly an important job, in a properly functioning society, USSA is no longer functioning AT ALL. The Inquistions, the French Revolution, the Roman Empire, Nazi Germany - Zero would LOVE to play in those courtrooms. Zero confessed that he LOVES TO MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE IN IRAQ, while refusing to prosecute 30-million illegal alien terrorists for criminal trespass, which makes Zero guilty of TREASON. That makes him a Hero in his own mind, as his nation joins the 3rd World.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!


No proof Bush lied ??? What a crock:
Quote:

In the first of the reports, Waas says, Bush was informed in early October 2002 that the *** Energy Department AND the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research *** believed that aluminum tubes Saddam had procured were "intended for conventional weapons." That report contradicted the "aluminum tubes as nuclear threats" story line the administration began using in September 2002, when somebody leaked it to the New York Times' Michael Gordon and Judy Miller. "U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts," the Times said then, and administration officials took to the airwaves to chime in. Donald Rumsfeld warned of a nuclear 9/11. Condoleezza Rice said that the tubes "are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs," and she brushed away any sense of uncertainty by insisting that we wouldn't want the "smoking gun" to come in the form of a "mushroom cloud." Shortly thereafter, Bush himself told the General Assembly of the United Nations that Iraq had "made several attempts to buy high-strength aluminum tubes used to enrich uranium for a nuclear weapon." And in his 2003 State of the Union speech, right after uttering the much more famous 16 words about Niger, Bush said: "Our intelligence sources tell us that [Saddam] has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production."

It's hard to know how many Americans were swayed by the faulty aluminum tubes story, but it was all part of the larger argument: Saddam Hussein had to be removed, the president would say, because he's a "gathering threat," a man who could "decide on any given day to provide a biological or chemical weapon to a terrorist group or individual terrorists." "If I thought we were safe from attack, I would be thinking differently," Bush said in March 2003..\ "But I see a gathering threat. I mean, this is a true, real threat to America."

Bush may well have thought that, but it wasn't because he wasn't getting contrary views. In January 2003, Waas says, the president was handed a summary of a National Intelligence Estimate. "The report stated that U.S. intelligence agencies *** unanimously *** agreed that it was unlikely that Saddam would try to attack the United States -- except if 'ongoing military operations risked the imminent demise of his regime' or if he intended to 'extract revenge' for such an assault, according to records and sources." There was one exception, Waas says: The State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research said Saddam was "unlikely to conduct clandestine attacks against the U.S. homeland" even if a U.S. invasion threatened his regime.

P.S. As for the torture thing, as far as I know, the constitution doesn't cover foreign citizens, so , if Bush is having prisoners tortured, it is not unconstitutional, and as the prisoners in Gtmo are not soldiers from one nation or another at war with us, they are not covered by the Geneva Convention.


Point one some of those being tortured are American nationals.
Point two the decision that the ‘combatants’ are not covered by the Geneva Convention is tenuous at best. Many of the reasons as too why these people are not covered can actually be extended to US-UK Special Forces regiments. Are the Seals, Delta Force, SBS and SAS (to name a few) unlawful combatants? In such a case we can say it’s okay to cut their heads off, since their illegal combatants an’ all.
Quote:

[[]Upon being asked if America is breaking the Geneva Convention[]] In this respect, I would say so, yes. Certainly not observing the terms of internment, for imperative reasons of security. That's quite clear. And I do recall that our office at the appropriate time had shared this view with our colleagues of the U.S. Mission in Baghdad. It is a matter of concern because of the large numbers involved and the duration of the detention. You know, the vast majority [[]he goes on too say 80-90%[]] of these people are innocent and when they are rounded up, by the time that they leave, quite a number of them are no longer as innocent as they were when they entered. Because obviously they are exposed to hardcore people who have a certain degree of violent instinct in them.

Or maybe the situations not all that clear cut?
Quote:

Bush has broken no law whether he tortured prisoners or not.

For a start there's more to it than America's laws, like international ones that America is a party too.
FYI if you do something illegal, you’re breaking the law.
Quote:

On 19 March 2003 President Bush Jr. commenced his criminal war against Iraq by ordering a so-called decapitation strike against the President of Iraq in violation of a 48-hour ultimatum he had given publicly to the Iraqi President and his sons to leave the country. This duplicitous behavior violated the customary international laws of war set forth in the 1907 Hague Convention on the Opening of Hostilities to which the United States is still a contracting party, as evidenced by paragraphs 20, 21, 22, and 23 of U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956).

Truth be told, I don’t trust them any further then I can throw them, but I trust them a lot more then I do anyone else.


But if I may opine briefly and in general, since I really don't have the time to respond to everyone:

Personally, I’m more afraid of the media then I am the government or the corporations. I think of what happened to Dr. David Kelly and it occurs to me that this could so easily have happened to me, if I had been higher up on the chain then I am. It’s the mob that rules, and the media, more then the politicians or the corporations control the mob.

As for Bush, he didn’t lie about WMDs in Iraq. That’s a figment of imagination.

It is not a fact that Saddam had no WMDs. It is a fact that Saddam had WMD’s prior to the invasion (he used them against his own people and the Iranians). It’s also a fact that we can’t seem to find them today. However, neither of these statements means that they weren’t there at the time of the invasion or not there now, just that we can’t find them. Even as late as 2003, Hans Blix (no friend of the US or the war) listed before the UN Security Council tons of Biological and Chemical weapons and precursors that UN weapon’s inspectors could not account for as late as 1999, when Saddam refused further inspections.

It’s not a fact that Saddam was not an imminent threat to the US at the time of the invasion. It is a fact that Saddam may have likely conspired in a failed attempt to assassinate a former US president, and if Saddam had the aforementioned WMDs, a proposition that cannot be dismissed, then he could have pass these on to terrorist agents that may have then used them against the US. So the imminence of Saddam’s threat to the US was an unknown quantity. Whether or not Saddam Hussein was a threat to the US really comes down to how much trust you want to put in Hussein.

As for the legality of the invasion, what does that even mean? I don’t think that the Coalition invasion was illegal. Saddam posed a possible threat to US national security. Saddam violated the 1991 Gulf War cease fire agreement. Saddam refused to comply with UN Chapter 7 Resolutions. All of which, as far as I’m concerned, are legal justifications for the war. But in the end, if you think that the US violated the law when it invaded Iraq in 2003, then take us to court, prove it and throw us in jail. Ah, but you can’t do that, can you? Because international law doesn’t work that way, as Saddam Hussein demonstrated for 10 solid years when the UN balked Chapter 7 Resolution after Chapter 7 Resolution, while Hussein laughed in their faces and killed 1.5 million innocent Iraqi in order to insulate himself from these pointless resolution.

What happened to David Kelly?

Quote:

This is actually spin. People should try not to use spin. We're all friends here, we respect one another, can we be a little more frank?
What does it matter whether "Bush" lied about "WMDs" ? I agree that I don't think the administration intentionally misled the American public on the WMDs in Iraq.
But that said, "Bush" not "Lying" is a technicality. The administration has on several occassions delibately attempted to mislead the American people, for instance Cheney used a lot of awkward verbal positioning to lead the dumber among us to think that there was a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda. He may not have actually lied, but he intentionally wanted stupid people to draw that conclusion. This is deceptive.
So, sure, Bush didn't lie about WMD. But so what?
Next. Pre-emptive war is not only against international law, it's also, all godwin's law aside, something very fascist. It's exactly what the Nazi's did with their argument about the supposed "threat of Poland."
In fact, this is just one of a dozen times that the Bush Admin has litterally and deliberately pulled something from the Nazi book.
Objectively, if you laid out all of the facts of the actions side by side, with all of the names and historical events made generic so no bias could ensue, anyone, any sane intelligent person, would have to pick the Nazis as the most similar govt to the Bush Admin.
Whether or not you agree with this, I feel quite objectively that it's the case, all facts considered, and that there is some truth in such a statement to any degree is a matter of tremendous concern.

Sure, but all of this still misses the point.
Here's another interesting detail. The real reason we know that he had those WMDs, which he did use, on his own people, and on the people of Iran, is that he was sold those weapons, or the information on how to make them, by Donald Rumseld, which I am pretty sure is a well documented fact, and not a conspiracy theory.

It is a fact that Saddam may have likely conspired in a failed attempt to assassinate a former US president, and if Saddam had the aforementioned WMDs, a proposition that cannot be dismissed, then he could have pass these on to terrorist agents that may have then used them against the US. So the imminence of Saddam’s threat to the US was an unknown quantity. Whether or not Saddam Hussein was a threat to the US really comes down to how much trust you want to put in Hussein.


The bad guy is real real bad.

That's just a terrible argument. Kim Jong Il has actually threatened to nuke the United States.
So what?
If I went and shot someone, and the police arrested me, the argument "He was a really very bad man" would not carry any weight.
Do you know why?
Not legally I mean, but logically, have you really thought this one through?
Imagine what would happen to the world if this sort of logic were to persist. Everyone views everyone else as really bad, and the more we attacked, the worse we would all become. Ultimately the planet would descend into the chaos of an endless cycle of retribution.

Quote:

As for the legality of the invasion, what does that even mean?


It means that the US has signed treaties of international law that says it will not do certain things. One of those things is to engage in an act of pre-emptive war. Another is it will not use chemical or biological weapons. Another is that it will not subject prisoners to cruel and unusual punishment. Another is that it will not deliberately attack civilian populations. Need I go on?

Quote:

I don’t think that the Coalition invasion was illegal.


Unfortunately law is not a matter of opinion.

Quote:

Saddam posed a possible threat to US national security.


This is almost a completely absurd statement. I'm not even sure the president has said this, but he has wanted us to think it. If Iraq posed a threat at all, which is highly doubtful, it would have posed it to Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and possibly Israel.

Quote:

Saddam violated the 1991 Gulf War cease fire agreement. Saddam refused to comply with UN Chapter 7 Resolutions.


These are very debatable claims. The fact is we set Saddam into a room full of broken glass in hopes we might create a technicality that he would have to break.

Quote:

All of which, as far as I’m concerned, are legal justifications for the war.


Sure, and you're entitled to that opinion. But you seem like an intelligent guy. You ought to be able to see the fallacy of this position.
Everything you've stated here could just as easily have been deliberately set up to make an artificial justification for a mad oil grab.
I get that you don't think that this is what happened.
I am absolutely certain that it has. I don't think it's the same mad oil grab as most people. I think the main objective was to include Iraq, an oil rich sovereign nation, in a mid east union. While I'm not adverse to seeing a fascist socialist dictator fall, you're really missing the bigger picture. Our actions change the rules. Suddenly pre-emptive war is OK. Torture is OK. Repealing freedom is OK. War on terror is OK. Have you seen what is being done by other countries in their own Wars on Terror? We have to set an example, and we're setting that example: "Genocidal greed and annihilation is good!"

Quote:

But in the end, if you think that the US violated the law when it invaded Iraq in 2003, then take us to court, prove it and throw us in jail. Ah, but you can’t do that, can you? Because international law doesn’t work that way, as Saddam Hussein demonstrated for 10 solid years when the UN balked Chapter 7 Resolution after Chapter 7 Resolution, while Hussein laughed in their faces and killed 1.5 million innocent Iraqi in order to insulate himself from these pointless resolution.


You really do miss the point.

The monster is the monster, and the monsters and potential monsters are everywhere. You're right, international law doesn't work by policing. International law works by example. We have set the example: "Kill everyone, steal everything, death torture maim kill. All hail limitless executive power. Drug trade is profitable, torture is fun, everyone grab a nuke." This is the new standard. What a great set of values we are teaching the world right now.

Finn,

Please actually read this post.

This is completely unfair. You know full well I have no agenda at all, and am only telling it as I see it. I may be wrong, and even occassionally in the vicinity of tinfoil hats, but it's certainly not spin.

Only people with an agenda spin. Someone with no underlying motive for what they say would never be spinning it.

Here's what's been bugging me lately.

I have basically come to the fact that there are two types of Bush supporters: Morons and crooks.

Finn. You strike me as a smart guy. You had me for a while with the "on the fence" sort of pratical straight shooting approach.

Then you gave yay Bush for the supreme court nods, when you know as well as I do that those choices were made just about over Bush's dead body.

I agree, kerry would have done worse, much much worse, and I'm not knocking the call to vote for Bush re-election in 2004. I think that was the pragmatic thing to do. What I'm knocking is your continued support of someone who is, objectively, either at best, a grossly incompetent figurehead surround by corrupt and overzealous advisors, or at worst an arrogant tin plated dictator with delusions of grandeur.

Let me go back to another similar situation. In 2004, Bill O'Reilly, back when I liked him, before he turned into a loon, was on the fence with Bush. "Maybe Bush is right, maybe not, we'll wait and see." But, as things developed, instead of logically abandoning at least whole-hearted support for Bush, O'Reilly clung to Bush as if he were Bush's Monica Lewisnky. The thing is, this exposed the awful truth about O'Reilly. Bush had his wallet. He wasn't going to desert Bush no matter what happened in the white house, to the budget, the deficit, Iraq. The truth is, Everything went much worse than O'Reilly's worst possible scenario, and rather than chastize him, he clung. I guess that proved to me that O'Reilly is a crook.

There's only three people left who support Bush who I have any respect for

Two I have moderate failing respect for are Condi Rice and Bill Frist, who I think have been pretty blatant career-booster people who see Bush as their ride to glory.

The only one I truly respect is Bill Kristol, because he actually believes in the agenda. I strongly disagree with him that this is the right course for America, but he will actually come out in favor of imperialism, in favor of wars for oil, in favor of extreme executive power.

Just like I used to respect the Soviets, and Castro, while strongly disagreeing with their positions.

So, here's my question, what I've been trying to push you too: Which one are you?

Are you the guy, who like O'Reilly, and I suspect with Geezer, has his balls caught in the Bush machine and can't afford to oppose him?

Are you a career-junkie who sees supporting Bush as the best career move so you'll contrive the arguments as much as possible?

Or are you the ideological fringe who thinks that imperialism, oil monopolies, extreme executive power, torture, and restriction of civil liberties is actually a good thing?

If you're none of these, then just let go. Bush is a big sinking whirlpool of despair. You have a good republican party full of intelligent caring people, any one of whom could make a decent candidate in '08, and we could leave all of this madness behind us.

I recently heard that the 'phantom' WMD's, as I called them, were moved into Syria just before our invasion if Iraq, what little there were. This would blow a big hole in my "Bush lied about WMD's" routine, but it also changes very little else.

Chris,
the Syria theory comes from a Zionist website. They have been unable to prove how they "know" that and given what we know of Saddam's psychology if he had WMD's he would have used them rather than give them to a country with teritorial claims within Iraq.

I put this down to "hey the Americans were dumb enough to believe Chalibi, maybe we can have them beat up our other enemies while they are at it."

Pre-emptive Chrisisall

We don’t have the resources to engage every country that is a threat to the US, and war is a limited solution anyway, but I do agree that the real final solution needs more, much more, then the US/UK can provide. This is a job for the UN and the world as a whole, but they don’t seem interested. There’s no doubt that the Iranians and the North Koreans and the Chinese view the US and the UK as some kind of threat. And there’s no doubt that this isn’t a perfect solution. But advocating to our adversaries the serious intent to defend our national security and that of our allies with credible military strength and a willingness to pre-emptive response when deemed necassary has been successfully used as a deterrent for most of military history. But there is a limit to how much credibility the US and the UK can offer the UN, if the UN will not take measures to enforce its own laws.

This is not anything new; this is the way sovereignty has been secured for 5000 years. I was once lulled into the wishful fantasy that the UN changed things, but I could no longer continue to believe that after the UN issued 16 enforceable Resolutions against Iraq that no one had any interest in enforcing, because of a culture of complacency and what historians are referring to as "Olympianism," and as it now appears leading UN member states had been effectively bought off by Hussein. As a result, there are people who believe (Bush and Blair, among them) that the UN is essentially irrelevant as a world leader without the US and UK to legitimize its authority with credible military force; and I find it hard to disagree with them. No country will follow a world leader who is paralyzed with indecision, and incapable of securing its own laws, and if the UN (and its subsidiaries, such as the World Court) is to become this World Leader it will need more then just pieces of paper stamped with “UN Resolution.” I still believe that the UN can become an international arbiter of peace, but it was naïve of me to believe that it could ever have done so without credible military force behind it.

So to get to your analogy: it’s the equivalent to enforcing laws against murder with a stern rebuke, instead of jail. If you lived in a world where laws against murder were not enforced, then you might be inclined to punch someone, maybe even kill them, if you had reason to believe they might do the same to you or your family in a few days.

This is true, especially when two of the main members of the UN don't follow the laws. How can we expect other nations to 'kowtow' to UN judgement when UN founders couldn't give a toss.

When talking about dealing militarily with your enemies, this is a tactically poor word choice.

Also, while you're at is, study some of your republican history. You'll catch more flies with honey. Soft power. Diplomacy. I'm not saying "Negotiate Saddam until he's good" that's absurd. Ignore Saddam, negotiate better people into power, and then he'll be gone.

Our current military deployment strategy flies in the face of containment, or for that matter, common sense.
