No wonder Bush has talks in front of canned audiences, he can't answer a simple real world question. In this case the questioner asks him what laws govern the thousands of paramilitary contractors in Iraq. He can't even answer that! Unbelievable. His incompetence is leaves me speechless.
Speaking of speechless, I say on Sunday that Bush is planning to nuke Iran, and the response... zippo. I get more response from a technical rant. Hello? Doesn't it matter to anyone that Bush is planning to nuke Iran? Doesn't anyone care about what the hell happens to our country anymore? Fuck! Tell me I'm wrong. Get mad. Tell me the Iranians deserve it or some insanity like that. Or tell me I'm right and that you are going to join me marching in the streets. Do something. Don't let this country go down the toilet just through sheer apathy.
Hey! Jacqueline, you used to pray to have Bush re-elected in 2004. Your prayers were supposedly answered. But now you hardly comment at all in defense of his policies. Have you lost faith? Do you want him to nuke Iran? Would you support that?
I'm kind of scared to comment anymore since you came down so hard on my nickname for Barbara. I don't need that.
However, I'm still here. I'm still reading. I'm still rolling my eyes from time to time. But I'm not commenting because you seem to be going with such full force with blinders on that it doesn't make any difference.
To the Iran question, though, no. I don't want anyone to use nuclear weapons. Period. That just crosses an imaginary line that leads to complete destruction. Once the first one falls, the countdown begins.
However, I'm not at all surprised by Iran being in the crosshairs. Wasn't it next in the "axis of evil"? North Korea will be next.
It's scary. And I'm war-weary like everyone else.
Posted by: Jacqueline at April 11, 2006 08:22 AMSorry about that. I didn't think I came down hard on the Barbara thing, but if I look back on it I probably did.
I'm not sure about the blinders thing because I'm keepinng up with everything. Is there something in particular that I should be tuned into?
But I think we are both war-weary, and I'm glad to hear that you are opposed to the nukes.
I think the next real target would be Venezuela, but frankly, three wars is a lot for any 8 year span. My guess is that a war with Iran would be the last that he would take on.
