     On this, the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attack on our nation, I still remember the images of that day and the death and destruction that accompanied it.  There is still a rage in me that has not diminished with time but has increased with seeing now the leadership of our nation has responded and how they continue to respond.

     
I do not believe that our country had anything to do with initiating the events of 9/11 but I do believe that the debacle that has continued rests squarely at the feet of King George The Arrogant and the idiots that he has surrounded himself with.


     I do not believe the military non-leadership is at fault... they are trying to do a job for which they are under armored, constrained by rules the "other side" does not have to abide by, and they are often led by career pukes who have no problem putting underlings asses in the line of fire.


     I believe we as a nation have been misled, lied to, not listened to, treated as if we are stupid and with no memory for the past, and vilified that we deign to challenge the President and his policies that will not have us leave Iraq with honor or the billions that we have sunk into a no win situation.


     The situation in Iraq will never be made better and our mere presence there fighting a guerilla conflict among people who seem to have only rallying calls for hatred of the occupying United States military.


     Why should we, the most powerful nation in the world, be the police force for it. Few nations have stepped up to help us and the UN is so weak and neutered.

     President Bush the first, lied to us as a nation and President Clinton had sex with Monica. King George The Arrogant is ALWAYS LYING TO US AND IS SCREWING US.


     King George will go done in history as one of the most ineffective and trecious Presidents ever. Under his direction we have slid backward as a nation and opportunities have been squansered. I am glad he will be leaving soon and I hope he is followed bu some with a brain, a heart and with "balls". I assure you that I will not vote for anyone proposing to support the status quo.

     The following is excerpted from prior regarding 9/11 and our response.  I still stand by them...


     I no longer want retribution. I just want it to never happen again. Sure I want justice but I'm not necessarily willing to spend young people's lives to get it, particularly when I feel the situation is being mis-managed.


     On this, the sixth anniversary of 9/11, we must realize that we have spent more military lives than were lost in the Attack on America itself and we seem to be no closer to a solution that we were six years ago. As a matter of fact, we seemed to have lost focus and we seem to be not succeeding at all.


     Think about it... If al-Qaeda is the enemy, and they are primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan with Osama bin Laden, howcome we have six times as many military in Iraq than in Afghanistan and Pakistan?


     Before you may do any flaming at me, realize that I consider myself to be all-American and a supporter of our country but that doesn't prevent me from doing a little thinking and having opinions just as you may have.


     My prayers and tears go out to all the people who died on 9/11 and in the repercussions from it including our military.


     My thanks go out to all the people who worked on the rescues and recoveries, on the healing of America, and in our nations response.


     I hurt for all the spouses who have lost a life partner, for kids who have lost parents, for Moms and Dads who lost children, and for people who now have less of a life than before.


     Please join me in praying for ALL the victims.
