Bush is the only person in the world who can launch our nuclear arsenal. |
|
Somehow, that doesn't help me sleep better at night.
I've seen the "duck and cover" films from the '50s where school children dive under their desks to avoid a nuclear attack. This propaganda film was made during the McCarthy era to maximize fear and minimize thought. Boy, that desk and school building would really have shown those commie bastards not to screw with us.
Now, it's the rest of the world felling the need to hide under desks, rubble, bunkers, or anything else in an effort to protect themselves from the madman and his handlers in the White House.
Assuming we can ever get rid of this tyrant and his henchmen, how will we ever apologize to the world, or help them to once again feel safe? How do we go about ensuring that this sickness will never again infect our country? And like the rest of the world, will we ever again truly feel safe?
If the damage done by BushCo doesn't constitute crimes against humanity, what does?

1. Scary, indeed! ANd there is a procedure to follow |
|
But have procedures, much less federal laws, ever stopped the asswipe? (no need to answer the question...is completely rhetorical...) Read what wikipedia has on the nuclear football: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football

2. That is true, officially |
|
But we all know that Cheney and KKKarl Rove control bu$h so you could say they hold in their hand the trigger for nuclear war.
I often think about bu$h having access to the nuclear code, much like we used to think about Reagan having his finger on the button. This is much scarier, bu$h and the cabal are crazy whereas Reagan just was not there. It would have been an accident with him but bu$h and his buds might set it off just to watch the fireworks. :nuke:

3. I've often made similar statements to my friends. |
|
We'll be watching him bumble through a press event, and I'll just say "Can you believe this man has full command of a nuclear arsenal?"
It's really fucking pathetic...

4. I remember duck and cover. |
|
It was not that easy if you were a girl. We all wore dresses back then.
I had the worst nightmares. A whole generation was given nightmares by this crap.
The best apology will be getting rid of these guys. It will take decades to undo the damage.
