DISABLED VETS MUST FUND THEIR OWN DISABILITY PAYMENTS CAN THE U.S. WAGE WAR IN BOSNIA, AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, AND NORTH KOREA? NO WAY IN HELL! GEORGE W. AND HIS DOD APPOINTEES KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BLOOD THEY ARE GOING TO SPILL. 3 JAN 2003 - PRESIDENT BUSH, IN SHOWDOWN WITH NORTH KOREA BLINKS, IF YOU CANNOT BEAT THEM, BUY THEM 5 JUNE 2003 - BEFORE THE IRAQ ATTACK, BUSH DID NOT PROVIDE A SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT IRAQ HAD "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION." NOW, AFTER IRAQ CRUMBLED BEFORE THE U.S. ONSLAUGHT, THEY'RE WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE U.S. AND BRITISH ATTACK. THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME DOING IT. DID DOD AND BUSH LIE TO THE U.S. PUBLIC? BAGDAD FALLS AND WAR BEGINS EVEN THOUGH BUSH CLAIMS VICTORY EVIL SON'S OF SADAM KILLED CRIES FROM IRAQ CITIZENS ABOUT SHOWING MUTILATED BODIES BUSH AND DOD HEAD RUMSFELD APPEAR TO HAVE NO PLAN TO TO BRING SECURITY TO IRAQ SADAM CAPTURED IN GRAVE-LIKE HOLE - ATTACKS ON COALITION INCREASE AS MORE DIE IN ATTACKS DECEMBER 2003 STILL NO WMDS FOUND - BUSH GETS $807 BILLION TO HELP RECONSTRUCTION EFFORT FUROR OVER CONTRACTS TO VP CHANEY'S FORMER COMPANY JANUARY 2004 PALTRY PAY FOR DISABLED VETS BEGINS - ONLY HELPS A FEW - MOST GET NOTHING FEBRUARY 2004 "TERRORISTS" BEGIN EFFECTIVE ATTACKS AGAINST COALITION FORCES CONVOYS DESTROYED BY ROAD SIDE BOMBS - SUICIDE BOMBERS TAKE TOLL MARCH 2004 RESERVE, GUARD AND REGULAR FORCES HAVING TOURS EXTENDED JUNE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KERRY CALLS TOUR EXTENSIONS "BACK DOOR DRAFT" - HE IS CORRECT INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE? JULY 2004 ELECTION PREPARATION OVERVIEW 1. Planners begin force structure increase to maximize unit strengths for election.
2. Increased security for candidates does not deter insurgent kidnappings, assignations and attacks.
3. Concerns develop that minority party (Sunni) has infiltrated militia with insurgents - conclusion that concern valid.
4. Improvised Explosive Device (IED) determined to be most effective weapon of insurgents. Conclusion that installation of IEDs will continue until populace begins reporting their installation. Hope is that election will show that there will be a free Iraq governing itself. This will increase "tips" where installed.
5. Iraqi citizens must perceive that election will ultimately avoid civil conflict between minority / majority factions or civil war will develop.
6. Department of Defense (DOD) concludes that prepared news articles (propaganda) supplied to media will help change attitudes of populace. Prepared article program given the "go ahead."
MASSIVE NUMBERS VOTE FOR CONSTITUTION TO ESTABLISH NEW GOVERNMENT. CITIZENS RISK DEATH BY GOING TO POLLS. VOTERS HAVE FINGERS DIPPED IN INK TO AVOID VOTING MORE THAN ONCE. THEY PUBLICLY DISPLAY FINGERS WITH PRIDE. FOR MOST, THIS IS THE FIRST DEMOCRATIC ELECTION HELD AND THEY SHOWED STRONG SUPPORT FOR NEW GOVERNMENT. STRANGELY, INSURGENT ACTIVITY MINIMAL. U.S. AND ITS ALLIES SEE POTENTIAL FOR TROOP STRENGTH REDUCTIONS. OBSERVATION PROVES IN ERROR. FEBRUARY 2006 FAITH IN BUSH ADMINISTRATION ERODES HOMELAND SECURITY RESPONSE DEBACLE TO HURRICANE KATRINA GIVES PERCEPTION OF NO PREPAREDNESS AND LACK OF CONCERN FOR VICTIMS EXPOSURE OF BUSH UNILATERAL USING NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA) TO MONITOR CITIZEN PHONE CALLS WITHOUT WARRANT BRINGS CHALLENGE THAT BUSH CONDUCTING HIMSELF AS A MONARCH. OVERZEALOUS RESPONSE IN DEFENSE OF PRACTICE SERVES TO MAKE MATTER WORSE. NATIONAL GUARD AND ARMY RESERVE PERSONNEL MAKE MULTIPLE TOURS TO IRAQ. JOB LOSS AND BUSINESS FAILURES RESULT. DISCOVERY OF SUBSTANDARD MEDICAL CARE SPREAD DEEP CONCERN NATIONWIDE. IRAN USES U.S. TROOP STRENGTH DISSIPATION AS OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN REFINING PLUTONIUM INTO WEAPONS GRADE. DEFIES THREAT TO BRING ACTION BEFORE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL. WITH TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN, BOSNIA, IRAQI, PHILIPPINES, BUSH IS HELPLESS. IRANIAN PRESIDENT THREATENS TO WIPE ISRAEL "OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH." EXPOSURE OF CONTRACT TO AWARD CONTROL OF U.S. PORTS TO ARAB NATION BRINGS MORE CONCERN ABOUT BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS CAPABILITIES. BUSH ANNOUNCES HE WILL VETO ANY LEGISLATION FROM CONGRESS TO CHANGE CONTRACT. MARCH 2006 HOW ABOUT THAT! THE ARABS WITHDREW THEIR CONTRACT AFTER CONGRESS HAD A FIT. COULD THEY STAND A SECURITY INVESTIGATION? OR, PERHAPS WE'VE MADE A NEW SET OF ENEMIES. VERY INTERESTING. APRIL 2006 OSAMA IN IRAN? THERE IS CONSIDERABLE SPECULATION THAT OUR BEARDED QUARRY IS NO LONGER BEARDED AND HAS REFUGE IN IRAN!! TOO MUCH HEAT IN PAKISTAN HAS OUR PRIME TERRORIST OUTWITTING SOME OF OUR FINEST INTEL TYPES. WHILE THIS SEEMS TO BE A TRADITION, LEAKS INDICATE THERE MAY BE SOME VALIDITY TO THIS CRAFTY CHARACTER'S LOCATION. THIS BEARS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. WILL ADVISE! SEPTEMBER 2006 COULD NOT FIND ANY VERIFICATION THAT OSAMA IS IN IRAN. DESPITE RELIABLE SOURCE COULD NOT OBTAIN CONFIRMATION THROUGH ANOTHER SOURCE. THE RUMOR CONTINUES THAT HE WAS IN IRAN FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. THERE IS MORE SPECULATION THAT HE LEFT AND RETURNED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS AN EMERGENCY AS TYPHOID, OR PERHAPS TYPHUS, COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. WILL CONTINUE MONITORING SOURCES. BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS DESPERATE AS ELECTION TIME APPROACHES, ACTIONS BY DEMOCRATS BECOME LUDICROUS AND OUT AND OUT STUPID. IF THEY HAD THEIR WAY, EVERY CAPTURED TERRORIST WOULD HAVE "MIRANDA RIGHTS" READ TO THEM FOR THEIR PROTECTION AS PER OUR CONSTITUTION. FACE FACTS 1. THE WORLD IS AT WAR WITH THUGS/MURDERERS/TERRORISTS 2. THESE MUSLIM RADICALS GOAL IS KILL ALL INFIDELS (NON-ISLAMIC) 3. GENOCIDE IN DAFUR (400,000 DEAD) IS GOOD EXAMPLE 4. CIVILIANS ARE KIDNAPPED, TORTURED, MURDERED - THEIR BODIES DUMPED IN THE STREETS 5. EITHER BECOME A MUSLIM OR DIE 6. NATIONS (INCLUDING MUSLIMS) MUST DESTROY THIS THREAT "ABOVE THE BEST"
