The Bush/Petraeus Fantasy Fizzle They want our fighting men and women to be baby-sitters for the oil companies to screw us over with gasoline process at 7800%-9000% profit, while they make trillions bleeding America's citizenry and then they move their headquarters to a mountain top bunker to avoid the fate of Marie Antoinette. http://www.BagnoloArt.com Professor Bagnolo is a Renaissance man: Cultural Anthropologist, Architectural designer, painter, writer, novelist, theologian.

I believe that he is the ONLY honest man in congress. He has been working against this insane war since before it began. I am 72 years old and I have been so frustrated with the media, the Congress and the American people that they don't tell the truth.
Yet another fizzle. Thanks for putting it so well. It's a frustrating time for us patriots. With the taser incident, the lack of balls in Congress about impeachment, the candidates in both parties being the same, the anti- anti war people, the mercenaries who are still in Iraq, etc, etc. It's clear why some of the people still support the war. If you a family member of a soldier who has been killed, it's very hard to think that your loved one died for nothing but the greed of the Bushites. That is a tough thing to swallow. Perhaps when they realize the truth that feeling will morph into the anger most of us now feel. Your idea for sending Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and others to the area is a good one. Along with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, may I suggest that Dennis Kucinich be added to that list. He was in the area lately for a fact finding visit, (Of course he was smeared by the neocons as a traitor) and has a record of demanding peaceful solutions for problems like this. It's encouraging to hear about the Christian students who really got it and had some good ideas themselves. Maybe there's still hope for the world. But time is running out. by

The stall and handoff play Bush and his cabal of cretins are just stalling to hand this disaster off to the next administration. The spineless Democrats are afraid to end this or they just want to use this failure in their election campaigns in 2008. Both positions are deplorable and we really need to get candidates who are not afraid to do what is right and not just politically sound. by

The Stall Thanks for reading and writing. My plan in the article is to get Bush looking around at those who surround him. Betrayal is in the air from Cheney, I believe and if Bush really buys into Preemption as a style, he had better preempt Cheney very soon and dump this on the mind that created it, instead of taking all the heat alone for a plan he isn'y capable of creating, even given as bad as it is. My guess is that given the knowledge and the choices, he will dump Cheney, but, of course, that remains to be seen. by

Preach on Prof! Hannity needs to take Jerry Fallwell's place! Giuliani has a friend in Mukasey(it's in my public diary) Giuliani next selected president? Haliburton is a monarchy w/ Cheney as king and Bush as the retarded prince. Shell puts water in their gas to increase the 9000% profit margin. Petraeus is "little boy blew"(yes it's spelled right ;-) ). And the Christian flip-flop fence-sitters contribute to the already stifling hypocrisy in power! We need to put all of Haliburton's money towards solar-cell research, or wind power and we wouldn't have to worry about it. Then again they'd figure out a way to war over the sun and the wind and who owns it! by

Another POV Professor, thank you for exposing the ugly truth about the motives of Captain Caveman and his band of misfits...er, the Bush administration. I thought you may be interested in the opinions of some those on the other side of this war. The following are excerpts from an article I wrote a few days ago. Kind of wild, that we don't want our troops in Iraq, and the Iraqis don't want our troops in Iraq, yet there we are...in Iraq! According to the not for profit site icasualties.org the Department of Defense has confirmed 3,768 US casualties since the invasion of Iraq, and 27,186 badly wounded. By the same source, the DoD confirmed 122 self inflicted deaths. icasualties.org also reports 44,115 Iraq deaths since January 2005, although the number of Iraqi deaths is highly contentious due to the unreliable reporting of such casualties. Other sources, such as the Health Ministry estimate the death toll to be between 100,000 and 150,000 as of November of 2006. Regardless of the actual figures, the loss of life in this debacle is mind boggling...and for what? Certainly not to liberate the Iraqi people. Don't believe the hype! BBC and ABC teamed up to commission a poll taken in the streets of Iraq in September 2007. The poll asked Iraqi citizens to comment on the US "surge" tactic over the past six months. by

blood for oil Prof Pete, Great piece and here's some spinnoff. The polls are seabirds of a tsunami of change. This change will be apolitical. It's like in the middle of a play the actors decide the play is crap and walk off the stage. This change will be qualitative, a "new thing" in civilization. Dictatorships of the Rich have reached a reductio ad absurdum. All of this is INEVITABLE. Too much is unraveling. Too many wheels are coming off. The status quo has reached critical mass. Even a (winning) 3rd party is now a real possibility. The dem/pug party is dead -- even if they don't know it. Bill by

Thanks for the input I hope that soon the killing will end. There are a lot of crazies in the world and one wonders why so many have made it to the top of governments and Organized religions. I think these evil leaders are representative of a non-virtue of many of those who elect them-evil. by
