bush, basra, formaldehyde and other things that stink
"this is a defining moment in iraq!" george w. bush on the iraqi government's military push against the shiite militia in baghdad and basra. this was to show all the gains that the iraqi government has made militarily and show their strength in dealing with militias.
ah, that bush, he is so on top of things with his great world vision.
turns out that the iraqi military failed miserably to uproot the militias. they had to call on american air support, what? three minutes into the campaign, they ended up with al-maliki weakened even more and the peace deal was brokered by AN IRANIAN GENERAL. the militia are still in place and stronger than ever.
yeah, defined it all right. IRAQ IS A FAILED EXPERIMENT IN NATIONBUILDING. IRAQ IS THE SAME FUCKING DISASTER IT HAS EVER BEEN. THERE IS NO VICTORY FOR US TO BE HAD THERE. not only that, iran is stronger than ever with their influence spreading daily. we, as usual, look as bumbling fools.
pull our boys and girls out of there. what does it fucking take for our politicians, at least the democrats, to read the writing on the wall and get us out?
once again, for the umpteenth time, bush has told us another whooper.
your tax dollars at work: in hope arkansas there are 11,800 mobile homes and 7,500 travel trailers THAT WERE NEVER USED FOR THE KATRINA VICTIMS. why? well because they had high levels of formaldehyde in them. as did thousands of other mobile homes that your government gave to your fellow citizens without telling them about the formaldehyde. most of the people who were put at risk were black. (how in the world does rev. wright of chicago think that the american government would purposely hurt black people? )
52% of american urban youth graduate from high school. (and so many of them graduate with absolutely no idea of math or science that their degrees are not worth the proverbial paper they are written on). what we are producing here is a permenant underclass. poor and poorly educated they will continue to be a drain on the economy and the penal system. most of those urban youth are black or brown. and you know who i blame more than anyone or anything else? the parents of these kids. my uncle, cal farley, founder of boys ranch in amarillo texas (look him up if you would like to read about a real american hero) said, "there is no such thing as a bad boy." but given enough neglect, crime instruction from his hoodlum buddies, poverty, poor schools, absentee parents, easy access to bad drugs (crack and meth come to mind), and within a few years you have a strong candidate for prison. and where are the parents?
if they are waiting for white america to help, they have got another hundred years or so of waiting. the black churches, the black organizations in the inner city, the concerned black and brown populace had better get their collective asses in gear or what is bad now will be worse next year and the next and the next.
one of my friends here is a black woman who is on welfare. she has three children that make good grades, a cancer stricken husband who requires much help and this woman manages all of that, puts food on the table, has a car, gets them to school and woe be their ass if they don't do their homework, manages to keep them in a fairly nice house and has a great attitude while doing it. it can be done. her children will be contributors to society not a drain on it.
oh well, got to go feed the dogs and maybe go play some poker today.
