Stop The Madness - Bring The Troops Home

**********************************************************************************
Some of you may not agree with this current stance, but I felt it was time to do something that would stand in the face of all of those who believe we are doing the right thing by planning to attack Iran. See, there is a human face to war. Most of us tend not to realize that fact because we only see war through the eyes of the media.

War is more than what the media portrays it to be. It is more than what President Bush tells in his Kindergarten level speeches. We are losing soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines to a conflict where the cause as not been clearly justified. We went to war in Iraq for Weapons of Mass Destruction that did not exist. Now George Bush is wanting to attack Iran and do so using the same WMD lie that he told America and the United Nations before the invasion of Iraq. There were only a few savvy Americans - like myself - who knew Bush really wanted to invade Iraq so he could kill the man who threatened his father. Bush is anything but truly bright.

Now Bush wants to attack Iran? Does he not realize that an action such as that could lead to World War III? Is Bush completely banking on the fact that most of America is completely uneducated when it come to matters of the geographical significance of an attack on Iran? Tune in next week for the next exciting adventure of Bushman & Cheney.

Pentagon Plans To Bomb Iran

Sat Feb 24, 7:52 PM ET



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite the Bush administration's insistence it has no plans to go to war with Iran, a Pentagon panel has been created to plan a bombing attack that could be implemented within 24 hours of getting the go-ahead from President George W. Bush, The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue.


The special planning group was established within the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in recent months, according to an unidentified former U.S. intelligence official cited in the article by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in the March 4 issue.

The panel initially focused on destroying Iran's nuclear facilities and on regime change but has more recently been directed to identify targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants in Iraq, according to an Air Force adviser and a Pentagon consultant, who were not identified.

The consultant and a former senior intelligence official both said that U.S. military and special-operations teams had crossed the border from Iraq into Iran in pursuit of Iranian operatives, according to the article.

In response to the report, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said: "The United States is not planning to go to war with Iran. To suggest anything to the contrary is simply wrong, misleading and mischievous.

"The United States has been very clear with respect to its concerns regarding specific Iranian government activities. The president has repeatedly stated publicly that this country is going to work with allies in the region to address those concerns through diplomatic efforts," Whitman said.

Pentagon officials say they maintain contingency plans for literally dozens of potential conflicts around the world and that all plans are subject to regular and ongoing review.

The article, citing unnamed current and former U.S. officials, also said the Bush administration received intelligence from Israel that Iran had developed an intercontinental missile capable of delivering several small warheads that could reach Europe. It added the validity of that intelligence was still being debated.

The article also included an interview conducted in December with Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who said that while he had no interest in initiating another war with Israel, he was anticipating and preparing for another Israeli attack sometime this year.

Israel launched a cross-border offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon last July.

Nasrallah also said he was open to talks with Washington if such discussions "can be useful and influential in determining American policy in the region," but they would be waste of time if the purpose was to impose policy.

**********************************************************************************
Had your morning cup of coffee yet?

Ok Rip Van Winkle, if you thought I was merely ranting before, the aforementioned new article give credibility to my rant.

How many countries my we attack before we begin to realize that George Bush is behaving like Alexander The Great. People, this war is no longer about Terrorism, and I truly believe it never was. This war is about a presidential administration that is hell bent on taking over the world.

Our nation has taken a broad step toward World War III. Iran has done nothing to the United States, and their military is defensive. If Iran was as aggressive as the Bush Administration is trying to make them out to be, the Iran would have tried to invade Afghanistan, or even Iraq by now.

Iran was simply minding their business, and refraining from getting involved in the action that America initiated in Afghanistan, and Iraq. Iran builds a nuclear power plant, and because of that, George Bush is insisting that Iran is building nuclear weapons. Even if Iran was in the process of enriching Uranium, they would be nearly a decade away from developing any kind of legitimate nuclear weapon.

People, George Bush wants Iran because they are the only nation still standing in the way of America building the nature gas pipeline that Michael Moore spoke about. America has no real justification for attacking Iran, just as we had no real justification for attacking Iraq. Bush is sending our soldiers and contractors to die for a ficticious cause. The bad thing is, Bush is using the United Nations as the extended voice of America. It is hard to believe that the member states of the United Nations are nothing more than puppets who's strings are pulled by the United States.

People, the world and history will judge America by virtue of our actions in this our present day. With that thought in mind, it is important to note that all it took was one small boy and five smooth stones.

Why Does Everybody Have A Gun?

Teens Arrested After Shots Fired At Middle School
3 In Custody After Shots Fired At Paxon
POSTED: 6:55 pm EST February 22, 2007
UPDATED: 5:41 am EST February 23, 2007

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Police said shots were fired at a Northwest Jacksonville middle school on Thursday and a 16-year-old boy is in custody in connection with the shooting.

According to authorities, at about 6:15 p.m., a fight took place during a basketball game inside Paxon Middle School's gymnasium, and a kid was punched in the jaw.

School officials removed several children from the gym for fighting.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said moments after the kids were tossed out of the school, one of them fired two shots in the air.

"It was bang, bang -- two shots. Right after the shots, I came outside, and the kids ran right down there," said Justin Baltin.

Officials said the school resource officer went out of the gym when he heard the shots, and two teenagers believed to be involved were apprehended and a gun fell to the ground.

JSO said a third teenager, 16-year-old Courtney Hendley, picked up the weapon and fired two shots at the officer. The shots missed, and no one was hit.

"At this point, we don't know what triggered the altercation. All we know is that there was a fight inside the gym, school staff removed the participants and a short time later gunshots were heard outside," said JSO Lt. Mike Eason.

The two teens seized by the resource officer were taken into custody shortly after the incident. Hendley was arrested around 11 p.m. Police said he was found at his home and taken into custody without incident.

According to authorities, none of the teens they believe were involved in the incident attend Paxon Middle School.

Police said Hendley is a person of interest in the attempted shooting of a police officer. They also said Hendley is a person of interest in another shooting and that they have been looking for him.
Hendley has been arrested on four separate occasions in connection with drugs and fighting, police said.
**********************************************************************************

It is truly a crying shame that our schools are not even safe from guns. How in the world did the gun get on campus in the first place? That was more of a rhetorical question than anything else. Our nation has become too carefree when it comes to firearms. It is too easy for people, the wrong people to acquire a weapon. There are no controls over firearms any more.

The travesty of the story mentioned above is the fact that I know this kid. He was a student in my 4th period class when I substituted at Paxon Middle School. He was trouble then, and I see things have not changed in the least.

So here we have it, someone brandishes a firearm, takes two shots in the air, and drops the weapon. This young kid picks the gun up, and takes two shots at the police. This event never would have occurred if the gun was not introduced to the school campus in the first place.

I know I am about to strike a nerve with the NRA, but I will be honest when I say that I do not care about the feelings of anyone associated with the NRA at this moment. As I see it, the NRA encourages wanton abuses of the Second Amendment. My thought is instead of the NRA spending so much money on courting those ignorant Republican Lawmakers, the money would be far more better spent on educating America on the proper uses of firearms, and introducing a system that will ensure guns will not end up in the hands of the people who should not have them. Better than that, let's just get rid of guns completely in America. We should make it so that the only organizations who carry firearms are the US Military, and then only in the discharge of their official duties. Oh, I can feel the NRA blood boiling now.

People, we have taken the Right to Bear Arms a little too far in this country. Everyone has a gun, just about, and they are too easy to get. The background checks are a joke, and the safeguards are worthless. Mean while, the NRA is busy blowing the Republican Presidential Front Runners to ensure that there will be no legislation limiting the use and distribution of firearms in America. As a result, firearms end up in schools, in churches, hospitals, etc.

You know, when I was in Junior High School, my school - Shaw Jr. High in Washington DC- was criticized because we had metal detectors, and all of the students were subject to "The Wand" (hand held metal detector).People said that my school was violating the rights of the students. I can say this, we did not have any problems with students sneaking guns into the school. I said that to say this; If the NRA is not going to do the responsible thing and find ways to ensure guns do not end up in the wrong hands, then maybe every school in America should be equipped with metal detectors. If you truly believe that the children are our future, then we must do something now, because the future is not looking too good at this point.

Democracts Rub Dick The Wrong Way

Ok, before you get up at arms about the title, I am talking about Dick Cheney. Now pull those minds out of the gutter.

Well America, unless you were one of the few Van Winkles who slept through the past few days, you know that the Democratic Congress has voted to limit the war effort in Iraq. This is the first time in many years that our Congress has actually done something that made a great deal of sense.

America has wasted so much money, and lost too many troops to an endeavor that has no clearly defined exit strategy. Bush has tauted the "Stay The Course" message for years, but the course is no more clearer now than it was 5 years ago. Now we have Dick Cheney trying to paint Congress as unpatriotic because the vote was in favor of getting our men and women the heck out of the fire.

Cheney stands on the grounds that we need to be sure that the mission is complete. What is the mission? Has either Bush, Cheney, or Rice clearly defined what the mission is? Unless I misheard, I would have sworn that Bush stated America would not occupy the nation of Iraq. Well that statement was made in 2003, and to this date we still have forces in Iraq. It does not take Websters to define our actions as occupation. Trouble is, Bush still has yet to clearly justify our continued involvement in Iraq. Yes, realize he is hiding behind the banner of we are building the Iraqi Military/Police force, but with the time and effort we have expended thus far, the Iraqi military ought to be as credible as the British Military by now.

Again, I pose the question, what is the mission? What are we aiming to accomplish? Has anyone else read the news lately? The United States Nations (oh sorry, United Nations) is saying that Iran is now in violation of a resolution prohibiting the enrichment of uranium. Sound familiar? It should, it is the same dog gone swan song Bush used in 2003 to justify invading Iraq. Oh, I forgot, most of you were most likely asleep at the time. Wake up America. The mission that the White House is tap dancing around is the positioning of our troops for an invasion of Iran. Just like Michael Moore predicted in the movie that most of America said is a lie. Go rent a copy and watch it, see if it is not true.

We are the smartest nation in the world, but most of us are so easily fooled by a smooth talking moron. Wake up America! As for the Democrats, Way To Go. I think Congress did an awesome job. Force the White House to do the right thing, follow the lead of the British, and pull our forces out. If Dick Cheney wants that Natural Gas Pipeline so badly, let him is G W go over and build the darned thing. Bring our troops home, NOW!

What Is African American?

Funny thing happened to me on the way to work this morning. I was listening to my favorite radio show, the Tom Joyner Morning Show, and it just so happened that there was a discussion about how Barack Obama had to "Defend His Blackness" in South Carolina.

Seems there were some comments made about whether Senator Obama should be considered African American. Someone made a statement, as ignorant as this may sound, that only people who are descendant from West African Slaves can be considered African American.

Ok, my question is this; just how stupid is stupid? Barack Obama's mother is white, but his father is from Kenya Africa. His father is also an American Citizen, so to me that would qualify Senator Obama to be African American. In fact, there are several white people in America who are considered to be African American simply because their ancestry is from South Africa. I recall as a Navy Recruiter, I enlisted a young man was I thought was definitely Anglican. We had a quota for African American Recruits at the time, and I advised the young man that he would have to wait to join the Navy. It was at that time the young lad corrected my ignorance by advising me that his father and grand father were both born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. That qualified the young lad as African American, no matter how white his features were.

Coming back to Senator Obama, his father is from Kenya, and Kenya is a part of Africa. He may not have been a slave, but he is definitely African American. I guess being an author does not make a person intelligent. It is a crying shame that even after more than 400 years, America is still stuck in the muck and the mire of racism. It really blows me away to think that the only thing this author had to throw at Obama is a childish attack on his racial background. It is amazing that the most blessed nation in the world is the most uneducated nation as well.

Bush Has A Woody For A Fight

Ok America, listen to this, it is very important.

As you may know, the Democratic Congress is making it hard for Bush to surge troops into Iraq. Way to go Congress, that is what the "Check and Balance" system us all about. We, the American people are standing up singing that old Twisted Sister song "We're Not Going To Take It Anymore". Trouble is, Bush is still trying to get his rocks off, and check out how he is doing it.

Seeing that there is a wall of opposition against boosting the troop levels in Iraq, Bush has ordered a boosting of the troop strength in Afghanistan. In other words, since Iraq can not be the primary front for his attack on Iran, he will use Afghanistan instead.

I like George W. Bush, for he is so easy to read. Reagan would have been a little less obvious. People, ever since Bush entered office, he has been itching for a fight with someone. Remember the EP-3 Orion incident off of the coast of China? You know, the Chinese lost an F-8 fighter after it attempted to direct the EP-3 out of Chinese air space? Oh, let me guess, you forgot about that since it happened several month before 9/11.

Trouble is Bush is anything but a negotiator. He harbors a conqueror's mentality. Bush just wants to fight everyone, but has no justification to do so. Perhaps we need to ask him why he has not invaded North Korea yet. Was he not at odds with that nation as well? I will answer that question.

Afghanistan and Iraq had one thing in common, they would not stand a fighting chance against the American military, and Bush knew it. He thinks the same about Iran. North Korea, on the other hand, would have given Bush a run for his money, and the Chinese would have come to their aid. Bottom line is George W. Bush is nothing more than a school yard bully who seeks out the weaker kid to extort his lunch money. Yes, I said it. In this case, the lunch money is the ransom of the free world.

Bush is evoking the ancient ways of Western Civilization, and seeking to dominate the world by any means. This was is not about terrorism, it is about throwing a smoke screen over the eyes of the free world. If the war was about "Global Terrorism" why is it that no action is being taken to bring down the Klu Klux Klan, the Skinheads, the Aryan Nation, the Bloods, the Crips, etc? Is not America part of the same globe as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran?

People, take a moment, go to Blockbuster and rent Fahrenheit 911, and watch it. You may be surprised about the prediction made by Michael Moore. Bush has a hard on for a fight, and if Laura can not handle it, there are plenty of prostitutes in NW DC who are more than willing to help him out. America, Bush is treating our military as if they are action figures in a GI Joe game. The only difference is that you can bring the soldiers back to life in the games; can't do that in real life.

Terrorist Attack In Iran

Ok people, if you did not know before, you should certainly know by now. The White House has been carrying the banner identifying Iran as a terrorist state. Some in the Bush administration even attempted to create a tie between Iran and Al Quida (just as they did with Saddam Hussein and the Baath party). With that thought in mind, I find it difficult at best to believe that Iran would wage a terror attack on itself.

A bus load of Iranian Revolutionary Guard were killed by a car bomb, and the news report is the drivers of the car fled via motorcycle. This has all of the ear markings of an action that was coordinated by the Central Intelligence Agency, and made to look like a terrorist action.

America, wake up! George Bush is trying to do what ever it takes to draw Iran into armed conflict with America. I am sorry if some of you are so blind that you can not see that as truth, but hey, the hand writing on the wall is extremely large. King George Bush II is putting events into place that can lead the world down the path to another world war. If we go into Iran, we will be knocking on the back door of Russia, and I truly do not believe that the Russian people will sit back and allow that to happen.

This wanton terrorist action in Iran was coordinated by the US Government, no two ways about it. Think about the timing. Congress is voting on whether to allow Bush to send additional troops into the area, the American public is loosing luster for this war, and Bush needs a reason. If you have been asleep for the past 6 years, time to wake the heck up. Your family members are being sent to die simply because your President thinks that war is some game.

Dad Charged After Toddler Left Outside Dies

Police Say Dad Knocked Child Unconscious
POSTED: 8:54 pm EST February 8, 2007

PITTSBURGH -- A man angry his toddler daughter wouldn't go to bed knocked her unconscious and left her to die outside in single-digit temperatures, police said.

The frozen body of Nyia Miangel Page, who was about to turn 2, was found Sunday at an abandoned playground about a 10-minute walk from the family's home. Tiny footprints in the snow suggest she had gotten up and wandered around before she died, police said.

Her father, William Lorenzo Page, 23, of Braddock, was arrested Wednesday on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping, false reports and simple assault. He has been in custody since Sunday, when he was charged with sexually abusing another child shortly before Nyia died.

Page, who did not have an attorney at his arraignment Thursday morning, was jailed without bond.

Page told police he woke up early Saturday and found the girl awake and playing near a mirror in the hallway, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday night. He said he got mad when the girl wouldn't go back to bed so he hit her so hard she hit her head and was unconscious, the complaint said.

Police said Page told them he took the girl outside wrapped in a blanket and left her, still breathing, beside railroad tracks near a bridge.

Police said a T-shirt, a pair of women's underwear and a Pittsburgh Steelers "Terrible Towel," all found in Page's basement, appeared to have been stained with dried blood.

An autopsy determined Nyia died of hypothermia, but the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide because investigators said it was unreasonable to assume the child had made it alone to the playground, which is on a wooded knoll. The toddler would have had to have climbed 17 snowy steps to get there.

Authorities could only guess how long Nyia, wearing only a sweater and a diaper, could have survived in temperatures that hovered around 2 degrees Saturday morning.

"Given her size, she would have been rendered incapacitated very quickly," Allegheny County Medical Examiner Dr. Karl E. Williams said Thursday. "She'd been out so long, when we found her she was frozen."

A witness saw Page enter his house Saturday morning from the direction where his daughter was found, police said. He was back out on the street about an hour later, saying he was looking for the girl and telling the witness, "Somebody took my daughter," according to a criminal complaint.

Nyia's mother told police she last saw the girl after Nyia tried to crawl into bed with her parents about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The mother told police she put the youngster back into her own bed in an upstairs room.

Police, emergency crews and bloodhounds searched in 20-degree temperatures for most of two days before finding the little girl's body.

The sexual abuse charge against Page came as police investigated Nyia's disappearance.
Police said another child in the house told investigators that sometime overnight Friday, Page entered a bedroom, covered the child's mouth with one hand and touched the child's genitals with the other. The child said Page then left the room, followed by Nyia, police said.

And people wonder why I am as vocal as I am.

Ok, I am going to make no bones about this one. I am honestly pissed off! I mean, what in H E double hockey sticks was this dumb ass thinking? No! Better question than that; who in the world told this bastard that he was qualified to be a father? I guess any snot nosed punk who can slang a johnson can be a father. He obviously is not a real man, so he can not be classified as a dad.

How in the world are you going to knock your not even two year old daughter out, and then take her to a park in single degree weather wearing only a diaper and sweater, and leave her there to die? This idiot must have been drunk, high or both. The same must be true of the mother, because she is acting as if she had no idea of what was going on. Shoot, I remember when I was a child. All I had to do was yawn oddly and my mother was there, awaken from a dead sleep, to see if I was OK. Someone please explain how it is a child is hit so hard that she is knocked out, and the mother - who is supposed to have MSP (Maternal Sensory Perception) - does not sense something is not right. Ok, let me get off of her, it is him that I am after in this post.

What should be done to this good for nothing bastard? I think a warm jail cell would be too good for him. Some of you may call me cruel, but I personally feel we should water him down and leave is but outside in single degree temperatures. Are stockades considered illegal in America? If that is too cruel, then go ahead and put him behind bars. Just have the guard accidentally forget to lock his cell at night, or have the guard step away while he is in the shower or something like that.

Yes, I realize I am extremely cruel at times, but you must understand, that is a child, a baby, not even two years old. If you ask me, nothing is too bad for her dad. Maybe we ought to chain him to a tree close to a fire ant bed in underwear coated with sugar water. Ok, I am stepping off of my box for now. Just understand that in my eyes, there is nothing worst than someone who would kill a child, especially if that child is his own.

Anna Nicole Smith Dies At Age 39

With profound regret, Hollywood announces the falling of yet another star. Supermodel turned actress Anna Nicole Smith was discovered unconscious in a hotel room. Her death was announced a short time later, and although an autopsy is being performed, the preliminary assessment is that she died of a drug overdose.

The information of the drug overdose has yet to be independently confirmed, but many have noticed a rapid deterioration in both Anna's physical and mental presence over the course of the past few months.

No stranger to controversy, Anna's life was a series of topsy-turby rollercoster rides that kept her under the constant scrutiny of the national media. Most recently, Anna gave birth to a baby girl, and within weeks observed the death of her son.

Allegation of drug abuse plagued the career of Anna Nicole Smith for several years, as did the rumors of her true purpose for marrying an 80 year old billionaire, who died a short time later.

Although the truth about Anna Nicole's demise may never be completely revealed, she will forever remain one of the tabliod legends of American entertainment. Anna Nicole Smith was 39 years of age.

One Sorry Excuse For A Father

Let me ask you a question, well a few questions. Would you kill your children for a brand new car? Would you kill your kids for a promotion on the job? How about a million dollars? If you are like me, killing your kids is not an option; Right? I mean, our children are the most valuabe people in the world and the biggest parts of our lives. That is how you feel, correct? Well, from the looks of things, not everyone sees things the same way as most of the sane people do.

Check this out. I was reading the local daily news, and I happen upon an article about some ignorant father in Atlanta Ga who was more than happy to put the lives of his children in jeopardy all for the sake of being able to file a valueless law suit. You heard me right; his children were less important to him than the his desire to file a law suit.

Let me tell you what this fool did, try not to get too upset:

This father takes a can a Campbell's Soup, laces it with lighter fluid, hot pepper and prescription drugs, and then feeds it to his children, both of whom are toddlers. Relax!! Breath!! Both of the children are still alive, but they have been in and out of the hospital as a result of the father's greed. What was his plan? He wanted to sue the Campbell's Soup company for poisoning his children. How stupid can one person be? Does he not realize that canned soup, much like many other packaged goods, is produced in lots of as many as 5000 cans? Each lot is subject to extreme quality controls. Why is this so important? Simple, if one can was tainted, it is highly probable that other in the lot would be tainted as well. Remember the Tylenol scare of the 1980's? Bottom line, the chance of only one can being tainted all alone is extremely remote at best.

So, this fool puts the lives of his children in danger, and tries to pawn the blame off on Campbell's? I think the Campbell's Soup Company should nail his pecker in the dirt (Please excuse the graphic depiction). I also feel that five years in prison is not nearly enough time for this fool to think about the crime he committed. Put is dumb butt away for 15 years, take the children and send them to a relative who truly loves them, and use this fool as an example of how not to raise your kids. You know, it is hard enough for men to justify their worth as parents in our present society. We simply do not need idiots like this good for nothing bastard ruining it for us.
