the addministraition intentionally forged a connection by association.

in EVERY speach on security by ANYONE from this addministraition, and EVERY right wing affiliated organization, including Fox News, the buzz words Iraq, Terrorist, Al Queda and the biggie, 9-11 were mentioned within the same sentace many times, and certainly within the next run on sentance in EVERY whitehouse speach on the subject.

people hear what they want to hear. they tune out information that is contrary to what they want to believe, and focus on information that supports their ideology.

the result, even though the addministraition never said Iraq was connected to 9-11, over 76 percent of you Idiots believed they were.

these results were not an accident. they were intentioanlly cultivated by the way the speaches were put together. this particular line of public thinking was the dirtect result of crafted information designed to lead you down a certain path without spacifically defining that path.

mind controll, with plausable deniability built in.

the right, ALL of whom at some point actually believed Saddam Hussin trained the people who attacked us and was building a nuclear bomb to finnish the job, will hear "we never said that" because that is what they now WANT to hear facing for the first time HARD CONCLUSIVE PROOF their prior beliefs were in error.

the left will hear "they lied" now with supporting HARD CONCLUSIVE PROOF to back them becuase that is what they WANT to hear.

the reality is something totaly differant. while you idiots are bickering back and forth at each other, your country is being taken away from you little by little by DESIGN. little by little your rights and powers are being stripped away along with your protections. you are being PLAYED. big bussiness is OWNING you.

want to win a war? divide the enemy and get them to fight themselves.

want to win a country? split the people in two and get them to attack each other while you craft laws that bolster your power little by little in the guise of appeasing one side then the other. even now, your personal property can be stripped away from you and sold to a for profit developer under immenant domain for the financial benifit of the state because of an obscure law passed during the California wild fires giving total controll of state land back to state government and stripping away federal protections that USED to give individuals a say in how and why that land should be taken.

**** hits the fan? the right points at the judges actually supporting the law LEGISLATORS passed, the left is pointing at the right for letting it happen, and all the while big bussiness is basking in the sun of profits at YOUR EXPENSE while you bicker at each other like petulant children.

like a bunch of ignorant sheep.

well, in this hoodwink called Iraq, oil companies are exploding in profit at the expense of tens of thousands of human lives while you petulant sheep bicker at each other.

but keep blaming each other. the more you fight, the more you loose your country to big bussiness who already decide which one of their puppets you even get to choose to run YOUR country.

its funny. i see the right now justifying Iraq by saying they ended the killing of an average of 60,000 people a year while Hussin was in power. but the left cant seem to find enough balls to point out that between the two Bush,s, we have killed 10 fold that number in 1/3 the time.

look look mr Gotti, that man stole a car, we have to stop him.

I lol'ed.

I agree it's quite crazy. You'd think the one group intrested in whats happening in Afghanistan are the ones fighting there.

But I think the editor realise there is a "war-failure" fatigue in the US. People just don't wanna read about how Iraq and Afghanistan are going wrong. And they certainly don't want to spend their money to read about some depressing stuff on the other side of the world.

Much better to read about some happy celebrity, and continue to live your perfect-life by proxy.

Eventhough it's plain obvious that losing in Afghanistan means the Talibans coming back, and Talibans = Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda = teh suck.

In the end, it's just a commercial decision. Not political, just commercial.

It does if I put it in the context of you becoming shadows new sock, or maybe he's been yours all along! SLSJDSDLKJAS...my mind just exploded.

Thanks!

I was glad to hear from you that there are resources enough for everyone on the planet by the way. If only we could all just learn to share we would have peace, harmony, and all the **** we need forevers!

Unfortunately, that's not true. Population growth is sickening, and while it has to reach it's own "terminal velocity" at some point, it's a bit over our heads now. One of the things that is giving us a lot of hope for the future in terms of supplies of energy and food for everyone is technology. Capitalism is what is driving that technology forward...it's that "greed" that's pushing us toward a better tomorrow.

Sure, some people are real big *****. But there will always be things for them to be ***** about...even if we get a cheap renewable energy source. Which by the way, I really believe we'll end up with at some point...and am really looking forward to. Do real big companies suck? Sure. To much power concentrated anywhere sucks, big companies suck as much as big government does. If I had 300 million votes up my sleeve, I'd do something to change it right now. I don't though, so I'm going to go **** instead. Eating spicy things right before bed is a bad plan.

I got my $6,700 covered.

Wow. That's rich. First off, this is irrelevant with regards to Bush. He's calculating "deficit" using the same math that every previous administration has used. To suddenly insist that we change that method (apparently purely because it's Bush and you want his numbers to look bad) is a bit silly.

I note that you didn't read (or certainly repeat) that this accounting process would also turn Clinton's surplusses in the 90s into significant deficits as well. Hmmm... I wonder why that is?


"Deficit" and "surplus" in this context means one thing. The difference between the total revenue of the government this year and the total spending of the government this year. The type of accounting USA Today is insisting that we adopt requires that one predict the future costs of pensions and medical care. While that may be a useful calculation, it is *not* a budget calculation. Budget numbers record actual dollars that were obtained by the government and spent by the government over the course of a year. That's all they do. Reading any more into it then that is a mistake waiting to happen. Insisting that we change the numbers so that we can read more into them then that is doubly disasterous. Instead of having accurate raw data to work with, we'd end up with data that reflects someone's projections based on future events.

That's far more likely to be abused IMO. I have no problem with someone generating their own auditing information and projections based on future costs. But lets keep the budget data separate so that we can also see the actual dollars we spend and earn separate from projections.



Wow. The Libs are *really* desparate to try to come up with some way to make Bush's economic plan look bad if they're digging this idea out of the closet...

I was referring to the article. The fact that Jawbox fell for it means nothing about how liberal or conservative he is. Only that he's gullible...

And (futile effort to get back on track INCOMING), what does that have to do with the purportedly liberal media using a different, non-alarmist cover story for the U.S. market than for the rest of the world?

That's the point of the thread, right? Everyone else in the world sees "LOSING AFGHANISTAN", and we see... what? a fluff piece about a celebrity photographer?

nice one Samira!

Anna has bewbs. The only thing that sells more than bewbs is big bewbs. And quite frankly, I think the "omg we are teh lose everywhere" schtick is getting old. Go figure.

People don't seem to understand that Saddam and AlQaeda ARE connected. They are both people that wanted to bomb the U.S. off the face of the earth. We just did it first.

I didn't need a picture of Saddam and Osama holding hands while holding up a piece of paper marked "9/11 plans."
