Still nothing else to do . . .

This blog entry arrives very late from Rochester, NY. It occurred to me earlier today that I never mentioned the stupidity of a comment made by Vice President Dick Cheney during an interview with cnn.com. In the interview, Cheney stressed the importance of not giving into the Democrats desire to cut and run out of Iraq, but instead stay the course until a stable *cough-cough* government has been set up. Cheney then explained that it doesn't matter where we go, they [terrorists] will find us. He then explained how they've found us in various places around the world over the last few years. Now -- and here's where common sense enters the picture -- there's just one thing Cheney forgot to mention about terrorists attacking us in Iraq: they wouldn't be attacking us in Iraq had we not illegally invaded it in the first place! So, by invading Iraq -- against the will of the international community, against the wishes of many of our own Congressmen and citizens, against the advice of George H. W. Bush, and against common sense itself -- Bush & Co. simply opened up a front where terrorists could directly attack Americans where they could not have attacked us before. Now that makes a truck-load of common fuckin' sense, doesn't it?

Who voted to re-elect these dumb-fuckin' pricks, anyway? I think we ought to ship all those assholes (and there's no doubt that having voted for Bush/Cheney means you're an asshole -- see Jan. 28 blog entry) over to fight this unwinnable, self-serving war started by the Bush-Cheney Profit Machine of Doom. If saving a few thousand dollars in taxes was worth this, you should protect those dollars with your own life. Those few thousand dollars is blood money, and it should be your own blood on it, not the blood of those young men and women who don't believe in the purpose of this senseless, shameless attempt at bloody profiteering.
