"The World Is Safer Now"
true or false? From the trickle of information that gets through the Ministry Of Propaganda, doesn't really seem like Smirk has "wiped out terra".

1. ludicrous assertion
every act of this junta has made the world demonstrably more volatile.

the propaganda fear mongering flies in the face of this assertion. It requires doublethink to even conceive.

2. Ah the first WTC attack was in '93
That means the next could be four years from now on that schedule and are we not losing people in small attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan?

3. For whom? And, will Bush leave Iraq (if he's still pRes) once
the US military death toll surpasses the (occasionally falling) 9/11 death toll?

4. It's safer for Bush
now that he doesn't have to face any pointed questions.

Debates will be labeled "unpatriotic" if the opposition doesn't automatically fellate W at the onset.

5. False
The strongest country in the world is in the grips of 2 insidious forces....

Reaganomics "revisited" - hard core Reaganites hell bent on elimination of the progressive income tax are in control. The culture of greed has been given another shot of Adrenalin as the country is further empowered to bring a misguided capitalistic system around the planet. Long term economic destabilization of the world.

"The WAR card" - Bush had to get Saddam's head, it was that plain and simple...and he used a highly motivated volunteer army and the "war card" as a means to accomplish his objectives. The administration must be truly feared as dangerous to the world because they have proven to themselves that all their theories were correct.

Come up with a reasonable excuse for war, then simply start the war....and everything else can be controlled.
