AlterNet: War on Iraq: A 'Transition' to Failure
There is no better proof of the consequences of the Bush 'plan' than the grim reality on the ground three months after the so-called 'transition' of power. Since June 30, U.S. military casualties have risen dramatically. The death rate for non-Iraqi contractors has doubled. The Iraqi resistance has quadrupled its forces.
Alternet also reports that the democratic candidate for vice president won his debate with cheney, whose continued presence in public office is kind of hard to figure, considering it's his own company that is raking in the bucks from their war. stomping over the bodies of the young and the innocent. starving the children and turning them into orphans. destroying the cities of iraq and the lives of its citizens. cheney is getting rich. richer, richest off of that. clinton was impeached for cheating on his wife, and this president and vice president cheat on the whole country, even the world, and still hold office, run for re-election [oops - make that ELECTION, since they were not elected in 2000], act as if they are respectable upstanding people, and are treated by and large as if they are.
bullshit. they are warmongering greedy s.o.b.'s who have done enough destruction - they need to be gone from office, like four years ago.
there's so much information out there, and though i do generally gather my news regarding gw and his cronies from sources such as alternet, i also read vanity fair every month, and every month i learn something new, shocking, and disgusting about the current administration. this month it's how low they will go in florida to make sure republicans win elections:
The 2000 Supreme Court decision that put George W. Bush in the White House capped the most disturbing and confusing fiasco in recent U.S. political history. Through the eyes of the shocked clerks of some of the justices, Florida election workers, and an outraged African-American community, David Margolick, Evgenia Peretz, and Michael Shnayerson get a clear look at how voters were disenfranchised—and investigate the chance of similar chaos next month.
no.

Who am i, what am i
A picture's worth
moon phases |
I stand on the sand, and I'm rocking
grief to sleep in my arms.

Poetry roll
