Political/public presure + presidential/military underestimation of social/idealology have again resulted in a situation that has no solution. There is no winner to this problem except to corporations, companys that provide services or goods to make war or rebuild the results of this action. We (the averge American taxpayer) will take on the blame and cost of this Nixon like administration. Is it not clear Our Country has been taken to the cleaners.
Lars needs to do more research..."After the Revolution, Patrick Henry was an outspoken critic of the United States Constitution and urged against its adoption, arguing it gave the federal government too much power. As a leading Antifederalist, he was instrumental in forcing the adoption of the Bill of Rights to amend the new Constitution" Also, Henry's famous speech was probably written in 1817, 18 years after his death.
well ... that response is no surprise. a complete focus on an inconsequential element of the post ... all while completely ignoring the real point.
you're all the same ... never address the real issue ... never face the reality of your distored perspective. always defaulting to an attempt to undermine the integrity of the messenger ... exactly what the current admin does. each time a new unknown (and likely unconstitutional) policy is uncovered ... they don't want to talk about the issue ... they immediately move to undermine those who brought it to light (ex. lying to get into iraq war, wiretaps, phone records, joe wilson, criticism of war effort, congressional oversight of executive branch, dismissal of us attorneys for politcal reasons)
do they teach you that in the process of getting your brown shirt status ... or did you just pick that one up on your own from watching your 'leader' ?
[would have thought most readers would guess that an expletive was being substituted for when I used the term "globbers". ]
most readers would NOT have to 'guess' that an expetive was being substituted when the writer used something like $#!%. but that's obviously too difficult for you to understand ... much like all else that's obvious to the majority of the rest of us.
why don't you challenge a single actual point i've made ... the absence of such i will take as implicit acceptance.
I would have thought most readers would guess that an expletive was being substituted for when I used the term "globbers". Often, when I write and know a censor is behind me, I will take the liberty of throckmortoning it up. See, that wasn't difficult, was it?
[Not one ballot had the word Iraq on it. "We the people" did not do globbers about that. Yes, a few hands changed, but nowhere did the citizens say they want the war to wind down.]
are you kidding? 'we the people' don't have any means to 'do globbers' about it (whatever that means).
why don't they put it on the ballot? hold a special election just for this. make it simple ... provide only two options:
1. stay the course w/ no timetable
2. set timetable w/ milestones (troop drawdown on milstones)
with the village idiot's current approval rating ... this will be a no brainer ... i think it's called a landslide.
that would be a true 'representative government' ... something we haven't seen in a while.
how do you do it? a tireless support of a complete idiot ... who has pretty much failed at everything's he's done.
If Bush needs $3.2 billion to fund more troops then why doesn't he get the money from Cheney? Surely that fat bas***** has skimmed at least that much in kickbacks. Besides the troops are going to only be used to increase profits for war contractors, so why should those making the money pay for the blood?

[It appears "WE THE PEOPLE" have lost control and no longer matter.]
the election of george bush in 2000 was basically a modern day coup d'etat. a relatively small group of hard right wing conservative idealogues joined forces (and monetary resources) ... found a folksy front man that would appeal the large part of the american electorate that basically have little to no clue about american politics ... and all but stole the election w/ a combination of sophisticated linguistics and idealogical misreprenstations (ie. taking moderate positions on core issues).
they then topped it all off w/ some crafty legal wrangling w/ the help of an absolutely ridiculous (and completely politicized) US supreme court decision to take over the white house and ultimately the whole us government (since the republican congress pretty much did whatever he wanted).
for the most part ... elections ... and the perception that the electorate has a real say in the outcome is a facade that keeps everyone in line ... going to work every day ... accpeting the scam that it all is ... keeping it all short of a revolution. the powers that be want to keep it that way.
Last November the citizens of this country spoke very plainly about how we feel about this war, and indeed this administration. Nothing has changed. All we seem to do is jabber at each other on this message and call each other names in frustration. It appears "WE THE PEOPLE" have lost control and no longer matter.

How sad.
Not to mention being a troll.
