"My Best Friend" by O. B. Laden

"The entire government has failed us on Iraq..."

"...And this President!

How shameful it would be to watch an adult... hold his breath, and threaten to continue to do so, until he turned blue.

But how horrifying it is… to watch a President hold his breath and threaten to continue
to do so, until innocent and patriotic Americans in harm’s way, are bled white..."

"How transcendentally, how historically, pathetic."

Keith Olbermann



Now....

President Bush just declassified a report that showed Al Queda is now operating in Iraq.

"See!" he shouted. "Al Queda is in Iraq...We have to keep fighting in Iraq because Al Queda is in Iraq!"

"Al Queda!...Al Queda!... Al Queda!"

Are you scared now? Are you ready to keep sending money to Dick Cheney's corporate partners so that more American troops and Iraqi citizens die?

"Al Queda!...Al Queda!... Al Queda!"


Bush has not released THIS secret report that said the American presence in Iraq would be the biggest boost to Al Queda recruiting ever:

"WASHINGTON -- U.S. intelligence agencies warned senior members of the Bush
administration in early 2003 that invading Iraq could create internal conflict
that would give Iran and al Qaeda new opportunities to expand their influence,
according to an upcoming Senate report.

Officials familiar with the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation
also say analysts warned against U.S. domination in the region, which could
increase extremist recruiting. "

Got that?

George Bush is Osama's best friend...And he Knows it.

Peace,

Steve

A Loonie friend of mine sent this response to my piece on Dark. Imagine a tall slowtalking Minnesotan tansplanted to deep deep South Carolina, where grown people are afraid of the dark, in more ways than one:

i used to think about it

then i realized that when i got up in the
night, out of the bedroom and went blind it was because of the giant WalMart
parking lot light that the neighbor across the street had in his
yard.

it's a rental, so between renters i went over and shot it
out

then i realized his neighbor past him had one just like it, was
also a rental, and did the same.

the side benefit was that i'd
been talking to another neighbor about the way his light shined on the
bedroom ceiling and when he found out about the ones i shot out, he turned his
off.

another one blinds me when i come out of the shop after dark,
so i set up "bean poles" by the neighbors driveway to grow a kudzu fence
on.

i get farther talking to people about Jesse Ventura (the mayor
of Wisconsin) than about dark.
