My best MSOC-style RANT

Not only is my heart in the right place, I am absolutely right about this fucking war. George W. Bush is a serial pathological liar who is leading this country to its destruction. Bush admits tactical mistakes but not his gigantic strategic mistake of going to war against a country that never attacked or theatened us. Today Bush finally admits that HIS actions helped destabilize Iraq, but Bush STILL defends his actions "because he toppled Saddam".

Was "toppling Saddam" worth 655,000 Iraqi lives, worth 3,019 American lives, worth $500 billion dollars more added to the U.S. national debt, and worth destabilizing the whole Middle East region? Heck, why not get an arrest warrant or a 2nd U.N. resolution specifically authorizing action against Saddam before taking such a precipitous and STUPID action as invading and occupying a predominantly Arab and overwhelmingly Muslim nation at the heart of the Arab and Muslim world WHICH NEVER ATTACKED OR THREATED US!

You damn straight I'm rude. You think this situation calls for civil debate? Fuck that!

I listened to the am radio this evening. I am smarter than George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, some fool right wing radio talk show host named Alan on am 1230 who claimed to be a moderate but was really a right wing fanatic who had David Horowitz on his program. I am smarter than the right wing host on WBZ Boston this evening.

I am not smarter than Barbara Boxer, but I am damn sight smarter than John McCain and I don't give a goddamn about his military service at this juncture because it has no bearing. I am smarter than Lindsey Graham about this war and about torture.

I am not smarter than Cindy Sheehan or Medea Benjamin or Dennis Kucinich or Nancy Pelosi. I am not smarter than John Murtha, a veteran, who has an alternative plan to President Bush's plan THAT WILL WORK. I am not smarter than Harry Reid. I am smarter than Joe Biden, Joe Liberman, and Robert Gates. I am not smarter than Democratic Representative Tim Walz (Minn.) who is a retired Sargent Major and opposes Bush's decision to surge more troops into Iraq.

I am smarter than FOX news and all the idiots who watch that shit and get sidetracked on stupid issues like what Barbara Boxer said to Condoleezza Rice.

I predicted a long time ago that this war will divide Americans much more than the Vietnam war did. I am proud to take my stand. Screw all of you who continue to support this stupid war that will only kill more of our "beautiful young men and women" (Barbara Boxer's phrase).

Walz Hits Air Waves on Iraq

ROCHESTER, MN -- Minnesota Congressman Tim Walz is giving the thumbs down to President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq.

In the Democratic Party's weekly radio address, Walz says he wants to know what the benchmarks are for success and how long Bush believes it will take to accomplish them.

He says diplomatic and political solutions are needed in Iraq, not more U-S troops.

"I believe, along with most Democrats and an increasing number of Republicans, that the escalation announced by the President will compound a bad situation and make matters worse, not better. It will make us less secure, not more," said Walz.

Bush concedes U.S. decisions made Iraq unstable

Reuters Sat Jan 13, 5:26 PM ET

President George W. Bush acknowledged on Saturday that some of his administration's decisions during the Iraq war had contributed to instability there but he still believed he was right to topple Saddam Hussein.

Insisting it was crucial to U.S. interests to get the sectarian violence in Iraq under control, Bush told CBS in an interview that the strife there was a destabilizing force in the Middle East that "could lead to attacks here in America."

Pressed on whether actions by his administration had created further instability in Iraq, Bush said, "Well, no question, decisions have made things unstable."

But he added, "My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the correct decision in my judgment."
