Terrorism--The Republican Gift that Keeps on Giving.
Bush pounds the podium and tells the handpicked droolers that we are fighting the terrorists in Iraq so that we don't have to fight them here. He tells them our heroes are fighting to protect us from this evil blight. And the droolers cheer.

Bush and his mouthpieces tell us that it is INEVITABLE that this country will be hit again---it's not 'if', it's 'when'. They even promise us it will be a WMD...a nuke even (be very, very afraid). And the droolers cheer.

So I have one logical question to ask: If we are going to INEVITABLY get fried to hell, why are we throwing a trillion dollars (and that is the price tag that will finally be reached)down the Iraq rat hole that isn't qoing to be able to save us from being toasted anyway??? It's kind of like being told you have a fatal brain tumor so you run out and spend a zillion dollars on liposuction--what's the point???? (Bottom line: this country is going broke on this war, gas prices are soaring because of it which will bring this country down, and a hell of a lot of people are being killed in order to scare people into keeping the real terrorists, the republicans, in power).

3. No, I'm talking about the handpicked audiences that they prop up
time after time to "respond" correctly to the cherished words of the emperor.
