How Many Have YOU Converted Today?
my coworker brought up our local elections this morning. turned into a national discussion. see the Selectman we were discussing is a repuke. while that is fairly harmless in our little town, I mentioned that he wants to springboard up to Congress in a couple of years.

so, we are talking and i mention the upcoming draft (she has an 18 year old nephew) in '05 if we don't stop these pukes at the local level.

well, she wanted more info on what i knew

so...........

i emailed her the following:

PNAC (Project For A New American Century) - Letter To Bill Clinton (Note The Signatories & Date):

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

Here Comes The Draft:

http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html

Bush & Blair Made Secret Pact For Iraq War

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1185438,00.html

"I Saw Papers That Show US Knew Of Attack"

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=507514


needless to say she was floored. THEN she came over to my desk and thanked me saying that she emailed them to her father who told her he sent them to EVERYONE on his email list.

and they told two friends.....and so on...and so on... and so on...

1. Maybe I'm just too lazy to read the whole thing
But how does the budget of the SSS prove that a draft is going to be starting up?

3. Well, my ultra-hawkish-Republican coworker actually said to me today...
"Fuck it, we should just pull the hell out of that hellhole."

Shouldn't have gone in the first place, my friend, but I'm with you on kissing it goodbye before we waste more young lives, American and Iraqi.

5. Here's the thing with that...
Bush is promising a quicker end to the occupation than Kerry.

We are not offering an alternative.

Paging Dennis Kucinich...

7. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the problem in a nutshell.

If the invasion is at the top of your agenda, a case could be made that Smirk will "cut and run" (declare victory and go home which is what we have to do...we'll never "win") quicker than Kerry who will feel obliged not to "lose" and get blamed for it like those who were "blamed" for "losing" Vietnam.

This quagmire is a real doozy. One ONLY that could have been started by that moron sitting in Gore's house.

Fork him and the broomstick he rode in on.
