Mr. President,

On September 11, 2001 you had the resources of the entire world begging to let them help you and your country.

The attacks and follow-up invasion of Afghanistan was something the whole world understood.

The questions began in Iraq.
The questions remain in Iraq.

Afghanistan could have been the new democracy you seek in the region.
Instead it is doomed to return to warlord/druglord rule.

Poppy production has never been higher as a new spirit of co-operation and “dealing” sweeps the country.
Heroin production will reach an all time high this year.

We do not now and never have questioned the “troops”.
We know them, much better than you.

That fact that you tie our questioning of your policies to our patriotism; says little about us and speaks volumes, about you and your administration.

And no matter how many times you try to convince us that some lame-f--- like Saddam was a threat to us.

Well, we just don’t think so.
We never have thought so.
We never will think so.

There is something you do not understand.

We are proud Americans.

And we think you are a complete ass!

2006-10-26T19:39:00.000-07:00

A sign of the times...The Story of Two Assholes...

2006-10-26T19:16:00.000-07:00

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten
to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying
"Hello." I politely said,
"This is John. Could I please speak with Robert ?"

Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right fuckin’
number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone
could be so rude. When I tracked down Robert's correct number to call
him, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.

So I blocked my caller ID and called the number again and said; "Hi, this is John Smith with the phone company. I'm calling to test your caller ID.
Do you show this call as blocked?” He said; “Yes, I do!”
I told him; "That's because you're an asshole!"

I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in
my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a
really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!" It always
cheered me up.

One day I was at a local shopping center, getting ready to pull into a
parking spot. Some guy in a full sized Hummer cut me off and
pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled
that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I
noticed a "For Sale" sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole (I had his
number on speed dial,) I thought that I'd better call the ‘Hummer’
asshole, too.

I said, "Is this the man with the gunmetal grey Hummer for sale?"
Yes, it is", he said. "Can you tell me where I can see it?" I asked.
"Yes, I live at -------, in Highland Park. It's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Steve," he said.

"When's a good time to catch you, Steve?"

"I'm home most days as I need to be.”

"Listen, Steve, can I tell you something?" "Yes?"

"Steve, you're an asshole!"

Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I
had a problem, I had two assholes to call.

Then one day I came up with
an idea.

I called asshole #1.

"Hello?"

"You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)

"Are you still there?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Stop calling me," he screamed.

"Make me," I said.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Steve."

"Yeah? Where do you live?"

"I live at --------, in Highland Park and if you are too fucking stupid to find it, there is a gunmetal gray Hummer parked out in front."

He said, "I'm coming over right now, Steve. And you had better start
saying your prayers."

I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, ASSHOLE!," and hung up.

Then I called asshole #2. "Hello?" he said.

"Hello, asshole," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."

"You'll do what?" I said.

"I'll kick your ass!"; he exclaimed.

I answered; "Well, dip-shit, here's your chance. I'm coming over right
now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived
at --------, in Highland Park, and that I was on my way over there to
kill my gay lover. I said that I was in the National Guard and heavily armed.

Then I called every local news station about the war going down in Highland Park

I quickly got into my car and headed over to Highland Park.

I got there just in time to watch two assholes beating the crap out of each other in
front of sixteen police cars, two SWAT teams, an overhead police helicopter and five news crews.

Result...

Now I feel MUCH better!...

Lessons...

When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take
it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out
on someone you don't know.

And don't be an asshole!

In joining battle, seek the quick victory. If battle is protracted, your weapons will be blunted and your troops demoralized. If you lay siege to a walled city, you exhaust your strength. If your armies are kept in the field for a long time, your national reserves will not suffice. Where you have blunted your weapons, demoralized your troops, exhausted your strength and depleted all available resources, the neighboring rulers will take advantage of your adversity to strike. And even with the wisest of counsel, you will not be able to turn the ensuing consequences to the good. There never has been a state that has benefited from an extended war.

that the sky is falling...

Let's dismiss all the naysayers...and the facts.

2006-10-03T20:25:00.000-07:00

Let's dismiss everyone who has a valid argument with this administration.
Let's forget that there are some extremely intelligent people who oppose it.
For some very informed reasons.

We should also forget the mistakes made by this administration.
And the national heartbreak they turned into a twisted mandate.

Let's forget our resolve and our fear at committing our children.
Let's forget how our son's and daughter's were sent off to defend our country against further attacks.

And instead, were used to yet another politician's own designs.

Are you able to accept that the current course is for a much wider war?

Are you ready to send two generations of America's youth to justify George W. Bush's policy decisions?

Three generations to justify the Iraq War?

I am not.

Attacking people who had nothing to do with attacking us, is not the answer to anything.

They know that, and so do we.

Well...Hell!...That solves everything!...

So I'm driving home...

2006-09-22T20:34:00.000-07:00

After a long day at work and a few beers.
I'm tired.
I just want to get home to a hot shower and a cold night-cap.

So I drive extremely carefully.

What if I had left five minutes before?
Five minutes later?

What if my windshield was a little cleaner?
What if that car, wasn't in the other lane beside me, pinning me against the median?

In a very few seconds...My options were gone...

A 6 month old black pup is difficult to see at night...
But, I saw it.

Even looked into his eyes.
Time seemed to slow down...
Watched his tail wagging.
Heard him yelp as the front end of my truck broke his neck.

I did not set out to kill anything today.
But I did.
And there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

In those very few seconds I decided not to wreck my truck and my life for that dog.

And created another ghost I will carry with me the rest of my life...

Transcript:

QUESTION: Mr. President, former Secretary of State Colin Powell says, The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism. If a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former secretary of state feels this way, don’t you think that Americans and the rest of the world are beginning to wonder whether you’re following a flawed strategy?

BUSH: If there’s any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it’s flawed logic. It’s just — I simply can’t accept that. It’s unacceptable to think that there’s any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective.

Once again the question asked, is not answered...with many american service people putting their lives on the line...

Within the realm of sanity...does anyone want to tell me that Colin Powell's logic is flawed?...

Attention!...java wankers!...
