Compare W to J. F. K.'s "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." with W's "Mission Accomplished"! J. F. K. warned us that we were being threatened by our well-known enemy, the USSR and admitted that we'd all have to make sacrifices. For W's followers the mission that was accomplished was picking up a few red state votes due to these knuckle dragging Neanderthals' long-standing allegiance of voting for GOP blood-thirsty chicken-hawks whose international policy consists solely of killing foreigners-in this case the largely undefined and imaginary fear-mongering "extremist Islamic jihadists", or "those who are against us", or "Islamofascists", and fleecing the US taxpayer for scams that redistributed our wealth to the CEOs of the Halliburtons of the world.
What does the world expect of us?
The second part of J.F.K.'s concept was "My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom of man."
bin laden is somewhere firing off statements about how corrupt the US infidels are-and why wouldn't he?
Our allies across the globe used to cast a longing eye at the US, which formerly was a beacon of hope amid the world's despair.
Poll after poll shows our friends' and foes' hatred of the US intensifying daily!
It is big bro 43's fault. He lied, and bullied his way into an illegal war with Iraq and now the world hates us-and why wouldn't they?
When our loyal opposition party, our Democrats, take their cautious steps to ending W's reign of terror they must realize that the world needs justice to be served. W can't walk away without an impeachment unless the Democrats want to be known as the party that allowed a mass murderer to get off unpunished!
W is a bible thumper. He knows about "vengeance is sweet sayeth the Lord". Every Iraqi youth whose fathers and uncles-and yes, mothers, aunts and sisters also, have been butchered in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" have valid reasons for vengeance. Their retaliation will take the form of being IED carriers in Iraq, or Europe, or even the US. And let's get this straight-in a civilized world the concept of people tossing away their lives to kill innocent people is despicable, but in the arena of 4th generation warfare, the barbarians can only resort to terrorist attacks against the superpower. Just a little history might be appropriate. Never in the world's history has the superpower won a 4th generation battle-the terrorists, the weaker barbarian, have always won. They have stormed the gates and have always vanquished their technologically superior foe in these asymmetric warfare battles.
We have to smite W! Radical Islamic jihadists as well as extremist Christians, Jews, Hindus, expect it from us.
When you hear about people who have lost loved ones due to a crime they always say that frying their loved one's killer doesn't bring the loved one back. Executing the killer is only a first step. We must hold W to justice. All of the lives he wasted-US soldiers', as well as innocent Iraqis' lives snuffed out for what?
Why is that the Democrats can't immediately rip W from his throne of "unitary executive power"? Are they weak or are they just hogtied by their slim majority in the Senate to bring the fool to justice? "Tricky Dick" tried to tough it out until Republicans told him enough was enough. Now Republicans are emulating the stances of their predecessors back in the Watergate era.
The article "Administration Shaving Yardstick for Iraq Gains" had the GOP nameless, faceless official saying "There are things going on that we never could have foreseen," said one official, who noted that the original benchmarks set by Bush six months ago-and endorsed by the Maliki government-are not only unachievable in the short term but also irrelevant to changing the conditions in Iraq.
As they work to put together the reports due to Congress next week and in
