I stopped by Bubbie’s this morning and he was already in rare form. He has been thinking about the war in Iraq and the young men and women that are putting their lives on the line for…well…whatever.
His random ranting covered the many comments that we’ve all heard in the news lately.
“We need to win the war.” You mean we haven’t? We’ve destroyed a country and toppled its government.
“We need to spread democracy.” We are not a democracy, we are a democratic Republic.
“We need to send more troops.” This really boggled Bubbie’s mind and set him off. Don’t the representatives we elect, including the President realize that we don’t choose them because they are smarter than us; we elect them to represent us. They are to listen to the majority consensus and vote accordingly to express the views of the electorate.
Oh, of course they don’t know this; they think we’re a democracy and that they are smarter than us.

does anyone else think that our naval buildup in the bay is in preparation for a defense of israel after they take out the iranian nuclear facilities? obviously we want iran to have no nuclear abilities. we would probably rather someone else make them go away. i just see the collection of hardware that w has moved over there as ideal to a post strike shield for israel. patriots to take out iranian missile response and a carrier group to take out an air response. iran can't project a ground response but if it were too, we're already in the way. hell we can even covertly refuel the israeli assets on their way home.
