Joe Humble said:1) The mainstream "liberal media" continues to miss a golden
opportunity to smear Bush with the Downing Street Memo. It is odd
that they are ignoring it.
Maybe not if you consider that the U.S. corporate owned
and censored mainstream media are often owned by or closely
allied with the war profiteers who benefit from the bu$h
regime's lies and war crimes.
Quoted message said:3) Evidence is mounting that the tax cuts bush rammed through are
helping, for the most part, people who are already doing fantastically
well.
Social security would run a surplus though the end of
the century if only bu$h's tax cuts for the wealthiest
1 percent were repealed.
Quoted message said:In a later installment we'll play "What could the American government
have bought instead of a 200bn dollar war". A game that continues to
get more absurd as the cost keeps skyrocketing. For starters you
could buy all of Yahoo and Google and have enough left over to pay the
college tuition of every low-income student in the US for 2 years.
Probably build some high speed trains and put low
emissions public transportation in our cities too.
All we've gotten for our money so far is hundreds of
thousands of new, fiercely dedicated enemies and well
over ten thousands dead or injured soldiers.

a walk in the park. AFAIK, No one died or even lost any blood."

"After all, it is the leaders of the country who determine
the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the
bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger. It works the same in any country."
-- Hermann Goering, President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party, and
Luftwaffe Commander in Chief
