BAREister Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 U.S. Marines in a fierce battle for this Sunni Muslim stronghold fired rockets that hit a mosque filled with people Wednesday, and witnesses said as many as 40 people were killed. Rock the casbah What better way to recruit martyrs? Rationality will be out the window now. This provocation has neocon fingerprints all over it ... Neocons have been trying to turn this into a massive religious war from day one. They will succeed and then we are going to get our ass kicked. The devolution of this conflict from putative secular purposes to those of a religious nature was FURordained The supposition that this particular incident is a deliberate provocation or that it has neocon fingerprints all over it is absurd. It has the mailed fist of the CIC and Pentagon brASS(_)_) all over it. Errant missiles sailing into mosques were almost bound to happen sooner or later in 'the fog of war' waged in this region. Neocon ideology had little to do this escalation of conflict, save, perhaps, as the predicate to getting us in there in the FURst instance, picking a fight in the FURst place. FUR the second time we are increasingly embroiled in a growing nightmare with stubborn Texan in the Oval Office. He will decide how emeshed we become militarily in a conflict that will probably destroy him politically if miscalcuation is made, if it hasn't been made already, and it has. It's like a Greek tragedy unfolding in front of our eyes, in slo-o-o-w-w-w-w motion. Hope it isn't the start of a WORLD WAR... The public, unlike our President, doesn't have the stomach for high casualties, the CURRENT 'resolve' of our Congressional 'leadership' to stay the course SNOTwithstanding. This is hardly good news FUR the bulls/financial markets. HAYWIRE THEORY shows up - on schedule, wot? Nader came to town yesterday and blASS(_)_)ted both warmongering D's and R's alike, to a lustily cheering crowd.........of 600 souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zensmoke Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Speaking of Nader Nader Calls to Impeach Bush April 6, 2004 ? Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader called Tuesday for President Bush to be impeached for "deceiving the American people night after night after night" about U.S. involvement in Iraq. "When you plunge our country into war on a platform of fabrications and deceptions, and you bring back thousands of American soldiers who are sick, injured or dead, and that war is unconstitutionally authorized to begin with, Mr. Bush's behavior qualifies for the high crimes and misdemeanor impeachment clause of the Constitution," the 2000 Green Party presidential nominee said... http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/news/040604_nw_nadervsbush.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police also fear Saturday's explosion that may have killed seven suspects and the subsequent arrests of other suspects could stir another cell of militants to mount a 'jihad,' or holy war, in Spain, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/breaking/0407...n_bombings.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiding Bear Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 While this may come as surprise to workers, the US Chamber of Commerce says pension contributions are "unnecessary": The U.S. Chamber of Commerce issued a letter Tuesday telling lawmakers it would count votes related to the pension bill in its legislative scorecard. "Swift action by the Congress and President Bush will prevent unnecessary plan contributions and protect workers' pensions," said Bruce Josten, the group's chief lobbyist, in a statement. "Dedicating available corporate funds to the economic recovery underway, instead of excess pension contributions, is a win-win for workers and the economy."

Hiding Bear Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 "We are at war" Colin Powell says. WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Colin Powell cautioned Sen. Edward M. Kennedy to be more careful in criticizing the war in Iraq after the Massachusetts Democrat called the conflict ``George Bush's Vietnam.'' Kennedy ``should be a little more restrained and careful in his comments because we are at war,'' Powell said Tuesday on Fox News Radio's ``Tony Snow Show.'' Powell said debating the Iraq war was appropriate and an important part of American democracy. But, he said, ``this is the also the time that we rally the nation behind the challenge that we face in Iraq and Afghanistan.'' http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/stor...3950537,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why make contributions when you have the PBGC to pay for it? (pension benefit guaranty corp.) From the linked article: Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle on Wednesday said Democrats remained upset over the lack of broader relief for multi-employer pension plans, and said the results of the conference were part of a pattern that has shut Democratic lawmakers out of House-Senate negotiations. If I'm understanding this correctly, the Senate Democrats' objection is that the bill doesn't lower the standards for an EVEN BROADER group of pension plans, including the multi-employer plans run by many unions. The "race to the bottom" continues. With further bipartisan effort, EVERYBODY'S future can be sold down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
