whatever excuse works best for you, Rummy. A good portion of this debacle rests with you, so wherever you feel you can deflect blame, go right ahead. Those of us that aren't blind to the current administration's inadequacies will see right through it.
Of course I'm sure Fox News doesn't fall into the terrorist's trap... ![]() Last edited by Mudbug; 08-29-2006 at 01:19 PM. |

Are We West of the Mess?
Unfortunately the media has many viewers that seem to love to lap up all the bad news. Stories about terrorists, hurricanes, car wrecks, and the war seem to fuel the beast. The constant intimidation that the consumption of this kind of news causes is great for the drug companies and likely the administrations agenda to keep us paranoid, but it is brutal on the mind.
Don't blame the media for covering a story. Blame those of us that watch, listen, and read the propaganda that Washington wants us to consume. I know she was a cute little girl, but is there any one out there wishes Jon Bennet would just go away? To stay healthy, do what I do...Read only the Travel section of The New York Times, listen only to Mozart, and when the desire is just too great to overcome, watch Baywatch reruns.

Should we go after Bin Laden and the like.. oh absolutely! Couldn't we just send in some special forces, or agents or the like and just take him out. Who says it even has to make the news. He could just disappear. ![]() |

Terrorist? What Terrorists!
We can now set our watch as to when the next terrorist threat will occur. Just Watch...Next time a poll comes out showing how many House and Senate seats that the Republicans are likely to lose in November, Check the news the next morning.
"And in the latest election news, Democrats will be retaking the House and possibly the Senate next year...Wait, Wait...This just in.... Bin Laden, wearing a bad Elvis costume, has been caught at Heathrow with a gallon of baby formula trying to board a plane to America!"

Terrorism is a tool, just like a hammer. And our current administration is really good at using tools. |

From my point of view, the turn of the century has just really sucked !
I don't know yet who's gonna be runnin' for President this next time around. But personally I'm looking for the whole lot to be gone and starting a new. The current state of affairs just baffles me to no end, and scares me at times.. and it ain't the "terrorist" that scare me the most. Bob. |

Unfortunately, in many ways, the war on terrorism reminds me of the war on drugs. Both seem unwinnable without becoming a facist state ourselves. Life used to be so simple and "black and white" in the 40's and decades later with "good guys and bad guys" whereas nowadays the enemy is so much more ellusive without any uniform to identify individuals.
This may not be logical, however I lost a relative to a car accident years ago. I know that over 30,000 people are killed each year on US highways and roads. Even though I have reasons to feel otherwise, I would not want to live in a country with 0 car accidents. Life is all about risk, or more accurately, a balance between risk and comfort. I do not want to live in a 100% safe world because I wish to live, period! Peace and Happiness to all!! (can't blame me for wishing) |
