Dubya and the neverending Deja Vu
Exercise: No time - had to go grocery shopping.
I've said it before and I will say it again....I'm ashamed to live in a country run by the dolt who goes by the name of Dubya. His latest little rambling only further enforces this feeling. His decision to increase the number of troops in Iraq also further shows me that the man is only capable of listening to those he agrees with and doesn't give a shit about what the people of this country (you know, the ones he is supposedly working for) have to say. I couldn't even bring myself to watch his blah blah last night because the sight of him just makes me want to throw up these days. Instead I opted for Mythbusters and how ironic that their show was about a myth concerning the Hindenburg's demise.
I did, however, read the transcript today. My initial thought - *RE* Same Shit/Different Day. It truly amazes me there are people out there (while decreasing in number everday it would seem), who still buy into the crazy shit this loon pours out everytime he flaps his lips. I always knew the man was delusional but I think his speech last night hit new heights when it comes to such.
It's when I read the following quote that I couldn't help but say, "DUH Dipshit! Anyone with half a brain could see that one coming. Oh wait, I forgot, you lack enough grey matter to even qualify for having half a brain when it comes to these things.
"When I addressed you just over a year ago, nearly 12 million Iraqis had cast their ballots for a unified and democratic nation. The elections of 2005 were a stunning achievement. We thought that these elections would bring the Iraqis together - and that as we trained Iraqi security forces, we could accomplish our mission with fewer American troops.
But in 2006, the opposite happened. The violence in Iraq - particularly in Baghdad - overwhelmed the political gains the Iraqis had made. Al Qaeda terrorists and Sunni insurgents recognized the mortal danger that Iraq's elections posed for their cause. And they responded with outrageous acts of murder aimed at innocent Iraqis."
I mean come on. I should think that even an idiot would find this to be common sense.
Oh and why do I get the feeling that him bringing Iran into the mix is a foreshadowing of this asshat trying to convince America to invade that country next? This man is truly on a power trip and quite frankly it scares the hell out of me.
Personally, I believe by staying in Iraq we are making things worse with each passing day rather than better and only sealing a fate of never being able to completely leave the place. I view trying to get rid of terrorism like racism. No matter how hard you try to snuff it out, there will always be a few who will keep it alive and convince others to do the same. Hell, look how long it's taken to change people's view in this country about those who have a different color of skin and the problem still exists. I mean do we honestly think that every last terrorist is going to be killed off and the Middle East will just wake up and place nice one day particularly with those it views as traitors? Get real. A snowball in hell would have a better chance. Now if the US was smart, we would have used our knowledge to solve the problem rather than our force and by doing so, we could have likely ended up a stronger nation because of it. People too often feel that if you don't physically fight that you're a coward and a wimp but when it comes to this sort of thing, the cowards are the ones who won't use their brains over their braun.
And now for something completely different....
My mom called me last night to ask if I could come and look after Sadie dog when they go away for a few days. While I was on the phone with her, she told me that my oldest nephew had another epileptic siezure. Now granted he's been pretty lucky as it's been a year or two since the last one, however, everytime this happens, he isn't allowed to drive for six months and I know that really bothers him.
According to my mom, he had gone out shopping last week and at some point he called her to say that he wasn't feeling right and thought she and my dad should come and get him. They did and on the way home was when it happened. My dad was driving the kiddo's car. J was with him and my mom followed behind. My mom said that not too long after they started the trip back, my dad pulled over on a side street. She thought maybe there was something wrong with the car but my dad motioned her over and that's when she saw J shaking uncontrolably. She said he looked ashen as though he was dead and it really scared her. She ended up calling my sister to ask if they needed to take him to the ER but my sis said, "No, he should be ok in a minute or two." Sure enough, as quickly as it started, it stopped and he went to sleep. By the time they got home he was fine but of course had no memory of what happened. My mom said when she told J what went on his face just fell because he knew it meant no driving for at least six months (something that really screws things up when you're a college student that commutes). The real upside to the whole thing, however, is the fact that he knew beforehand something wasn't right and called my parents so he wasn't behind the wheel of the car when all this was happening.
Well, that's it for me.
Til next time....
