Throw The Bums Out!!!!

Some people voice unconditional support for the Bush administration because, they rationalize, there hasn't been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Regardless if our stretched-to-the-limit armed forces are uneasily straddling battles in both Afganistan and Iraq, or whether if the latter is moral and legal. Nevermind all that liberal nonsense of "faulty intelligence" on WMD's. Bush has kept us safe, dammit, and that's all there is to it.

Then along comes a certain somebody with a head scarf and familiar salt and pepper beard...you know, the religious fanatic (of the Muslim variety this time) who destroyed 3000 innocent lives in the Land of the Free and the Brave. Remember him? The prick who started this whole thing?

The new tape alleged to be from Bin Laden warns the American people that there haven't been any attacks here simply because his minions have been quite busy in Iraq, and have nothing to do with Mr. Bush's attempts at homeland security. Of course, the Faithful will pooh-pooh this. But honestly, can anyone really feel secure anymore, no matter how many boots, guns, cameras, NSA spying and search engine subpoenaing goes on? Do the Faithful truly believe our Govt. is so omnipotent that it can prevent any and all attacks from terrorists from within or beyond?

Homeland Security is an oxymoron. They can't even help people during a natural disaster. What will happen when a man-made one hits?

A truce with Bin Laden, as he suggests in his tape, is a joke. Pulling out of the mess we've made in Iraq right away is irresponsible and would have horrible consequences both for its people and its nascent government (we broke it, we own it, thank you Mr. Powell). Tracking down those responsible for 9/11 hiding in Afganistan was the right thing to do, and the whole world knew it. Getting sidetracked in Iraq was a deliberate act of deception by our government that has cost us lives, brought billions of dollars of debt, and has allowed those responsible for 9/11 to escape justice. We've tried to force democracy and freedom at the point of a gun on a people that may not be ready for it, if they want it at all. What about getting those that threaten our freedom, which we used to cherish?

Getting rid of our reckless and dishonest administration who do what they want with impunity would be a step in the right direction!! Impeachment worked for removing a president whose salacious appetites didn't result in the loss of life, why can't it work for a boob-in-a-Stetson and his cloven-hooved cohort who send our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers into harms way, not for the protection of or freedoms as glamourized for the benefit of those who will swallow it, but for lies?

Some in the media claim the new Bin Laden tape will bolster support for Bush. Come on, people! The very fact Bin Laden is STILL out there making tapes should be enough for you to ask why it is acceptable to have Saddam sitting cozily in jail eating Doritos while those TRULY responsible for 9/11 still make threats on our existence. It is time to THROW THE BUMS OUT.
