The 377 tons of explosives aren't really missing.

We seem to be finding them one car bomb at a time.

The sheer incompetence of this administration knows no bounds. Instead of rose petals and singing, we have 1100 dead soldiers and thousands more seriously wounded, not to mention tens of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians.

They didn't safeguard these explosives because they didn't expect anyone to fight back. It really is that simple.

They'll welcome us with open arms, they said. Dancing, singing, and rose petals. Ah, we the mighty liberators.

And yet, more than 40% of the American public still follows Bush around mindlessly like an excitable puppy. Unbelievable.

1. Racism is why they still follow bush: other issues, well hate radio lies

cover up those issues and corral some more voters.

AAR is the cure. include it in your last will. Get aflcio and DNC to subsidize it.

2. One Car Bomb at a Time...

I like your grim sense of humor. And you're exactly right. Every IED and car bomb that detonates in Iraq is a sick testimony to the incompetence of this administration. Yet I have friends who are not entirely drooling morons who think that Bush is best qualified to keep America safe. One of them, oddly enough, is certain that there will be a terrorist attack to coincide with the election. When I ask, "Doesn't that mean Bush isn't doing the job?" I get met with a blank stare.

I don't get it....

4. That is so true.

"Bush will keep us safer" seems to be a very, very common answer provided by his supporters, yet it should be rather obvious that the opposite is true.

9/11 happened on his watch, in part because of his administration's complete incompetence and narrow-minded focus on Hussein. An administration that was actually concerned about terrorism might have put the pieces together in time to avoid it.

Bush supporters "forget" this and fixate on him standing on a pile of rubble. Or they make ludicrous comments like, "He just seems like a guy I could invite over for Sunday lunch" as a local woman said on the news this week while waiting in a six-hour line for Bush tickets.

We're not electing a dinner guest. We're electing the leader of our country.

Iraq wasn't a terrorist center before the invasion, but it certainly is now. Bush's invasion has increased anti-American sentiment around the world, yet his supporters blindly say that it makes us safer. When prompted for an explanation, we get the blank stare you mentioned. Deer in the headlights.

Which, in a way, is appropriate. I guess that Bush really does represent those people. He has that look often.

And, you're right - not all of the Bush supporters are "drooling morons" (I love that, as it is a very appropriate description for many of them). Seemingly intelligent people seem to turn off their brains and parrot whatever the administration or the TV tells them.

I get particularly frustrated with the people who repeat the Republican talking points verbatim. Maybe they get memos....

3. Yowwww.

You should be writing ad copy for KE04. Or for some 527 - that would make a heck of a commercial. "One carbomb at a time." Ouch.
