This decision is expected by many to be an increase in America’s presence on the ground in Iraq.  Whitehouse officials are privately telling reporters that this military increase will only be around 20,000 more troops and no more then 30,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to what end does this means address?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush, not being the most articulate of fellows, has never clearly defined a goal in the Iraq War.  A careful (or even careless) study of America’s past wars shows that every single one had an end.  In Vietnam and Korea the means to get there was insufficient.  In the First Gulf War the end was allowed to remain.  And now today in this the Second Gulf War what is the end?  And above all else… prove it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I mean to say is that if our end is to provide a secure Iraq then what “exactly” have we done to achieve that?  I would surmise an argument to be that we sent troops there to route out the insurgents.  To me that’s like saying you peeled and orange.  But the question is did you eat it?  Today Iraq stands less “secure” then it did when Saddam was in power.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, either our end is not to have a secure Iraq or we just haven’t met such an end (therein our means being incorrect).  Let us examine the later, why haven’t we met such an end at this time?  Now if the President and all the President’s men believe that sending more troops will make Iraq secure.  Then the question is what those extra troops will do, “exactly do,” that the present soldiers haven’t already done.  And that’s a pretty legitimate question that I don’t think anybody has an “intelligent answer” too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However we can re-examine our secure Iraq “end,” if you will, and state that our end is to instead stand up and support Iraqi forces to secure Iraq for themselves.  If this is the end then one should ask, what have been doing for the past 4 or so years?  And how will adding 20,000 more troops achieve this end?  It may in my opinion alleviate some of the pressure on the current troops on the ground in Iraq, but then again I question this own argument because if the end is just to “support” the Iraqi forces then there shouldn’t be much “pressure.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a teacher’s job is too ultimately support the student, in every way the teacher knows how, then ultimately the pressure on getting a good grade wrests on my shoulders.  The teacher just needs to do their job.  To get back to Iraq, either we aren’t doing our job or the Iraqi forces are incompetent.  If we aren’t doing our job then the means to the end is the problem, however if the Iraqi forces are incompetent then the end is broken and the means might as well be non-existent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously if American citizens’ can’t even point their collective finger at the same end then something is wrong; furthermore if that isn’t ‘obvious’ you should re-evaluate the term democracy.  The President in a few days will come out with a new Iraq War strategery. However what he, other politicians, and Generals don’t understand is that American’s didn’t volunteer to go and fight as some pawns in a badly set chess game.  And yes it is after all an all volunteer army.  They have volunteered to ultimately die, if need be, for their country and what exactly have they died for so far?  To secure Iraq? To help Iraqi’s secure Iraq? To establish a functioning government in Iraq?  To unite Iraq? To stop sectarian killing?  To build up Iraq’s infrastructure? To start up Iraq’s economy? What exactly have they fought for?  It’s easy to say they fought and died for their country and leave it be at that noble thing.  But when one asks what exactly did they die fight for? One can hardly respond with securing America…</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/8045003741618863372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/8045003741618863372?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/8045003741618863372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/8045003741618863372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2007/01/transcript_04.html' title='Transcript:'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-8204673068169807347</id><published>2006-12-29T22:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-29T22:30:19.841-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Saddam Hussein Al-WhoGivesACrap Is Dead</title><content type='html'>I grew up watching the first war with this guy.

That&#39;s all - I am tired, annoyed, and well annoyed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ten year old said it best: &quot;I just don&#39;t understand why people don&#39;t get the concept.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iraq War - War&#39;s are not decided by Politicians in suites OR Generals as much Political pawns then they are Generals.  FDR&#39;s Congress didn&#39;t roll around lobbing war plans left and right.  The battles on the gournd are won and fought by the commanders on the ground.  So here is a sound war strategy, let them decide how to secure this, that, and the other thing.  As for the country... Creating one central government that divides oil revenues equally among three sperate Republics, effectivly creating the Federation of Iraq - Sunni, Shi&#39;ia, Kurd my name is Al-bins Martdea I&#39;ll be your guide, on your left you&#39;ll find an IED please do touch.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Illegal Immigration - Is not a redneck&#39;s crusade against Mexicans.  Illegal Immigration isn&#39;t a &#39;your with us or against us&#39; issue, in fact your damn near unwise if you are choosing sides.  We need foreign nationals to pick our food and make our buildings.  They need our money and save stealing it from us they are working for it, because the white rich basterd Mexicans (yes there are white Mexicans) who make up the elite of the god forsaken country don&#39;t give a damn about those crossing the border.  To them they are all lower classes, peasents.  However, we don&#39;t need Mexican&#39;s drugs, gangs, arms dealings, and crime... because that&#39;s what we are also getting.  Just look at a penetentiary, you&#39;ll see few white people there and those Mexicans came from somewhere and it wasn&#39;t America.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Global Warming - Facts, as they are called, cloud this issue more then anything.  One doesn&#39;t have to be a 4.0 Dr. to understand that the weather outside isn&#39;t what it was like in your mother&#39;s time.  Furthermore one doesn&#39;t need to be a 4.0 Dr. to understand that the amount of materials we consume are finite.    Therefore here is a solution to global warming.   STOP WARMING THE GLOBE.  Thanks I&#39;ll be here all day.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Education - I am a student, I have final say on this issue... we are all collectivly dumber the sooner the government admits that the sooner we get off our truly lazy American rears and learn a bit or two about life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m tired and going to bed....  To my non-friends who don&#39;t read this, g&#39;luck with your assanine policies towards life.  If you can&#39;t care about the greater World around you, then you can&#39;t begin to care about yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/2935054428932548747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/2935054428932548747?isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/2935054428932548747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/2935054428932548747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/11/question.html' title='The Question...'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-1604864804167680885</id><published>2006-11-14T11:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-14T11:29:07.291-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="House Majority Leader"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jack Murtha"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Nancy Pelosi"/><title type='text'>Are People Stupid?</title><content type='html'>House Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi has thrown Rep.

(This would be a good time to read what I think about Democrats).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only surprising thing I thought of this election were the amount of non Democratic and Republican ideals floating around.  Republicans are yelling that Pelosi is the liberal lady from San Francisco, that wants to cut taxes for the middle class....yeah because that&#39;s real liberal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of all else you&#39;ve got Republican states voting for Democratic candidates for Congress.  It&#39;s safe to say that a good percentage of what was once the Republican&#39;s &quot;base&quot; has shifted toward the Democrats, and the Democrats have adjusted there rhetoric to suite.  Only time will tell if the Democrats actually act on their blabbering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some interesting things to come...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who will replace Ambassador Bolton?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who will replace the few remaining old people on the Supreme Court?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the Democrats enact a plan to partition Iraq under one central Government that equally shares the oil revenue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Pelosi put former Impeached Federal Judge - turned Representative in charge of the House Committee on Intelligence?  She voted to impeach also, for bribery and what not, while on the bench.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Pelosi enact the first 100 hours of bills she said she would? Will the House vote for them?  Will the media talk about them?  Will the people care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wellps that&#39;s all I can think of at the moment.  It&#39;s a lot to think about...  Though I personally am looking forward to President Bush&#39;s next State of the Union speech.  Right behind him will be sitting Vice President Cheney and good God Pelosi, the first women to ever sit there.  Now that&#39;s going to be an interstice speech.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116314870232997555/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116314870232997555?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116314870232997555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116314870232997555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/11/democrats-win-thats-only-witty-title-i.html' title='The Democrats Win (that&#39;s the only witty title I could think of)'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116253188399485740</id><published>2006-11-02T20:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:47.886-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hacking Democracy</title><content type='html'>HBO aired a documentary regarding the ability of one to &quot;hack&quot; the electronic voting system in order to change the outcome.  There are two different types of electronic voting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Electronic Counting Machines, these take paper ballots and count them via electronic means.  Once done the machines store the results on a conventional memory card.  They also print a receipt in the end based off what the memory card has stored.  This memory card is then taken from all the different precincts in the county and tabulated on one central computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Electronic Touchscreens, votes are cast via a computer interface WITH NO paper receipt declaring the computer understood what you voted for.  So take the above process and replace paper ballot with touchscreen interface.  The memory cards from all precincts are taken to one central computer to be tabulated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This memory card process is used by 80% of the country.  All one has to do is get hold of a memory card (which can either be done by the poll worker or a method called stealing).  If you get a memory card before the election takes place you must enter a negative number for the candidate you want to loose, this insures that any vote cast for them is deducted out of a negative value therefore not giving the candidate a positive vote.   If one gets hold of the memory card after the ballots are cast then one simply changes the amount of votes already cast; the downside being if you are using an electronic vote counting machine method the votes have a paper trail...but who cares to count by hand is another story.  Either way the memory card is a problem.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can one do to insure that memory cards cannot be tampered with?  This is what Diebold, Sequoia, and ECS (or whatever the acronym is) should be asking themselves.  Oh, here is damn easy answer.  DON&#39;T USE A CONVENTIONAL MEMORY CARD.  This inhibits any persons from tampering with the result.  Hell I can plug in one of these memory cards into my own laptop and make myself President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The memory card is only one method of altering votes but it is the most direct without leaving too much evidence behind that you have done something illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The GEMS software used by the central tabulator, and used by 40% of the country, can also be &quot;hacked.&quot;  However if one were to compare the central tabulator receipt to the sum total of the receipts from each precinct they would not match.  Then again how people will care to do this...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point being there are so many different ways, at so many different times in the election process, and at any day of the year to change the votes cast.  I cannot comprehend why any human being would design a voting system that is designed to run perfectly one day of the year when it can&#39;t even run securely any other day of the year.  Diebold claims that all the different hacks would be virtually impossible to carry out on election day.  Well I have to ask wtf?  I am putting the lives of millions of Americans, who died so I could vote one day of the year, on the line just because you say the machines will work on election day? Again WTF?  A voting machine should be tamper proof, hack proof, and ultimately secure EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN DAY OF THE YEAR.  What part of that is so hard to understand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those to blame: The FEC, Diebold, Sequoia, ECS, and stupid Poll Workers/Election Officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I almost had a serious emotional response which may have involved the tear ducts when this documentary was done.  I mean wtf...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116253188399485740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116253188399485740?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116253188399485740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116253188399485740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/11/hacking-democracy.html' title='Hacking Democracy'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116244340065054830</id><published>2006-11-01T20:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:47.638-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Midterms</title><content type='html'>I&#39;m done with one type of Midterm only to come around to another type.  Of course I am referring to the Midterm Elections.  Some say that this is a historically significant turning point for the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elect a Democrat and everything will be set right - magically or something like that.  Elect a Republican and continue with the American Dream...crap.  Honestly us stupid Americans need to wake up and smell the freshly brewed Brazilian grown coffee served at Starbucks (because God knows who actually makes coffee at home these days), no politician save 5 out of 500 are going to do anything for you.  No matter how many times you re-elect them they aren&#39;t going to represent your sorry rear end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately it&#39;s our fault.  I mean what incentive does a 6 figure-making politician have to represent us lazy Americans who can&#39;t pick up a phone or understand the concept of writing words through pen and paper (my self included - call me a hypocrite all you want) and TELL (yes tell as in a boss tells his employee) our elected Representative what we feel our elected Representative should be doing for us.  It&#39;s our fault for not using our Freedoms of Speech in every avenue and street corner, by ever front porch and every telephone booth, by every cell phone and television set around us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So by all means be a Republican or Democrat and keep chasing this fantasy of a perfect world where everybody is just dandy and Muslims everywhere sing kum-bay-yah my Lord with the rest of the Planet.  They say a common sign for a mental illness is that one keeps doing the same thing, the same way, over and over again, and not getting results whilst not attempting any other approach to what one wants.  I guess Americans have a collective mental illness (to the glee of the Europeans who pretend to have known this all along).</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116244340065054830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116244340065054830?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116244340065054830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116244340065054830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/11/midterms.html' title='Midterms'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116202205790179671</id><published>2006-10-28T00:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:47.392-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Signs</title><content type='html'>Click the Links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/presidentoor/279545981/&quot;&gt;Flickr Photo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/presidentoor/279596682/&quot;&gt;Flickr Photo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve made some changes from the original but the message is the same.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116202205790179671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116202205790179671?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116202205790179671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116202205790179671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/signs.html' title='Signs'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116184439679007260</id><published>2006-10-25T23:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:47.200-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Blah-Blah BlahBlah Blah-Blah</title><content type='html'>The Bush is on a phone call with Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki&#39;s of Iraq,&lt;br /&gt;ahead of his press confrence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey Baloni,&quot; the Bush said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Uh, Sir it&#39;s Maliki,&quot; said an aide sitting not to far from the President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Thanks, Shorty Fry,&quot; said Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Yeah, so, Maliki I am thinking we not Stay the Course anymore,&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Vat?

This scenario will seem much more likely after I write this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s because I challenge any Republican to answer me these questions, keeping in mind they have held both Houses of Congress for the past &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Why did you make Congress work for only 89 days out of 365?  Even after millions of Americans you represent work at least 340 days of the year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Why did you give your self thousands of dollars worth of pay raises over the last 6 years?  Even after the National Minimum Wage cannot meet the needs of a majority of the people, the same people constitution says you will represent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Why do you pass a border fence that covers less then half of the border, and then only decide to fund half of that?  Which if you can&#39;t do the math is much less then a quarter of the border.  Why even foot a useless bill?  Why not use your time wisely?  Are you as dumb as the Democrats say you are?  (That was like more then one question so I will give you credit if you can&#39;t answer them all).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Why spend hundreds of billions of dollars, when you see no clear signs of improvement for the MAJORITY of Iraqis?  I know some can go to school now, some can use the electricity, some can go out in the street, some can practice religion freely, some can use the freedom of speech.  But how does all that some explain the many?  How does hundreds of billions of dollars justify a man&#39;s vote for a government full of American made candidates the voter didn&#39;t have a choice but to support?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) How come you don&#39;t know the difference between a Sunni and Shi&#39;ite?  For that matter why don&#39;t you pass a bill mandating that Federal Government Agents know that difference?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Why do you treat Christians as a flock of sheep?  Just because Jesus said it doesn&#39;t mean it applies to you...  It means Jesus said you are my flock not go out and make flocks so people can mindlessly control you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans get a life.  Your boring, dull, (half-gay) duds.  You once spoke of Justice for the people.  You once spoke of a Government that meant something.  Today you speak of Christian pride, your superpower like ability to stop Terrorism (worked great for America not so well for the rest of the planet), your endless commitment to the Economy (and rather negligence of the microeconomy), and a whole bunch of other nonsense.  A majority of American don&#39;t gives a damn if gays are married or if Terri Shiavo gets pulled from a feeding tube... there are more pressing issues and if you can&#39;t find them, then admit your ignorance and step aside.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow I will ask Democrats questions all the while railing them on their incompetence to do anything but call Republicans dumb and say pulling out will solve all our problems.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116166466820783289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116166466820783289?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116166466820783289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116166466820783289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/ask-republican.html' title='Ask A Republican....'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116132689234663146</id><published>2006-10-19T23:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:46.249-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Why We Went To War - Pt. 2</title><content type='html'>Below is a continuation of yesterday. Look here, if you don&#39;t agree with the sentiment presented here, join the club I don&#39;t either, but just because it seems insane, it doesn&#39;t sound right, you don&#39;t want to believe it, doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s not true. Then again it could very well be not true. It&#39;s for you decide. I personally would rather be mad that our President went to War because he, his administration, and foreign leaders believed these countries were hostile - and war was the only solution, a poorly planned one at that. I refuse to believe that the reason we went to War was because of WMD&#39;s, a certain object that was never tangible to begin with, and our President knew that. The IAEA knew that and they said so. I can&#39;t emphasis enough, that you believe what you want to. I know what I know, what do you know? ask your self...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exploring Freedom, the Wrong Kind&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now out of the countries listed, they have to be “free” in order to attack America and/or its interests (like I&#39;ve said to a certain friend an American interest could be one fish swimming around in the Indian Ocean, it could be anything). Free means that the country is not bound to other countries either politically, historically, economically, or religiously. Out of the list only three present themselves by such guidelines – Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. In blue or parenthesis you will clearly see the reason the other countries are not capable or willing to attack America or American interests. So why is each one Free?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iran being the ring leader has the most freedom. They clearly want the capability to attack America, and already have the capability to attack American interests. There is no other country besides America (allies excluded) that opposes Iran. They are free to carry out whatever they pretty much please to do (sanctions are not a deterrent – they are pieces of non-actionable paper). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;North Korea, while allied with the powerful China, has enough military might to promote a formidable force the Chinese would need to defeat, if they ever had to. Therefore with no one but America in it’s way, the DPRK is entirely free to go about its business, take the recent nuclear tests as an example… the punishment they got… sanctions that make them poorer then they already are, which I don’t think is really possible.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finally Iraq, because this nation was not allied to any other in its respective region they were a threat to American interests. They had already once attempted to disrupt such interests and they were entirely capable to do so again. If you can’t see this fact then your still stuck on WMD’s, quite simply those were laid on the table because the table needed something tangible for us to go to War with. WMD’s provided such table cover, while the “simple fact” of Iraq’s dangerous dictatorship was not enough. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;War&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three nations needed to be eliminated (ask President Bush, he believes it is his job to do so, that&#39;s a hard figure to believe but the truth is harder to believe then a lie). Not physically, every citizen of said countries do not need to be killed off, but their nobility needed to be removed. Nobility stands for the top of the social pyramid (thanks HIST 214).  Nobility doesn&#39;t mean what it meant before, there are no people walking around in robes with gold chains or anything (unless you count whatever Lil&#39;Kim does at night).  But I think you get the picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now out of the three nations, it had to be weighed which one would prove the least hardest to destroy.  Obviously by example (the first Gulf War) Iraq was the easiest.  Here is where the quaint idea of Free Radicals diverges from dealing with them.  We thought Iraq would be the easiest of the three nations to dismantle, well it was, however building it back up wasn&#39;t on our agenda.  We built Germany because they had seen the horrors of war, daily bombing from country side to cities.  The Germans were tired of war they wanted to rebuild (granted there were a few that opposed but in proportionality they were less then those opposing in Iraq today).  Japan wanted to rebuild because honestly when you kill a couple hundred thousand people in a second, your might it noticed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we went into Iraq, we didn&#39;t understand the culture, we didn&#39;t understand the heritage, we didn&#39;t understand the religion.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Fine they may be Free Radicals, but we underestimated them.  We thought they would be easy to conquer.  They have proved difficult.  More difficult then Iran or North Korea?  No, less, but above the likes of which a whole generation of Americans had ever seen.  If you follow that argument, then you’re good, if you don&#39;t well that&#39;s too bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is none.  There is no conclusion, however there is this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why We Went To War?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went because this President, his Administration, Foreign Leaders, elements of the Shi&#39;ite community, naive Americans believed it had to be done. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They believed that Free Radical Nations had to be destroyed FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS of Americans (and American Interests) to be safeguarded from potential threats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t like it?  Tough luck.  Life doesn&#39;t revolve around answers that suite one&#39;s liking.  But then again I just pulled this out of my rear.  Made up the term.  However the term just connected the dots, the dots that were already there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do what you like with it, let it change your life, or don&#39;t.  It&#39;s up to you.

So in this document I will attempt to put a logical sound reason to that. I am not making this up... all of it has been said and may be said again in the future. All I am doing is tying it together in some coherent fashion. A fashion that perhaps this adminstration doesn&#39;t want you to know about. I mean going to war because of WMD&#39;s sounds better then we&#39;re going to war because it has to be done (oh and P.S. God told me). The term I use is Free Radicals. This term sums up why we went to war, why we may go to war again, and why Iran and North Korea were apart of the Axis of Evil the President still stands by. The following is part one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Free Radicals. This term is used by me to describe why we really went to war with Iraq, why Iran and DPRK were on the Axis of Evil when the two were barely on any American’s radar before the prolific phrase was used, and why no other country matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been wondering about the Axis of Evil, and the whole notion of going to war with Iraq since the first mention of the phrase, as well as the whole notion of these non-existing WMD’s in Iraq. What “wondered” me was the fact that why would anybody go to war, for when it came down to it, the simple act of going to war (since there were no WMD’s). It didn’t make sense, so I set out to make sense out of it. Hoping (and to this day I hope) that my solution would make the War in Iraq, and the Axis of Evil a sensical idea. Some may call it barking up the wrong tree to the same end, but I call it the story that was never told. In my hypothesis, the President needed a reason to go to war, and saying that Iraq was a radical nation wasn’t a good enough reason (because there dozens upon dozens of those).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exploring Radicals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The two worded term I use sums up the Axis of Evil. Free Radicals: Radicals stand for the notion of radicalism both Islamic and Political. There are a handful of radical nations. For example, Venezuela is a Politically Radical nation. Where one country is a Radical Islamic nation, it is by default radical in political terms as well. So taking this into account one (assuming one would be the President’s Higher Level Administration) looks at all the nations of the world. Individually scrutinizes them and characterizes which are Enemies of America AND Radical. Let’s list some that come to every Americans mind (Enemy is both a moderate and extreme term, and describes either the people or the government):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China&lt;br /&gt;Venezuela&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;br /&gt;Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;Syria&lt;br /&gt;Lebanon&lt;br /&gt;Palestine&lt;br /&gt;Sudan&lt;br /&gt;Somalia&lt;br /&gt;Cuba&lt;br /&gt;Iran&lt;br /&gt;North Korea (DPRK) &lt;br /&gt;Iraq&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let’s take this list and group these Radical countries by their connections to each other, besides the fact they all are enemies and besides the fact they are all radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cuba/Venezuela &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(While Venezuela and Cuba hate our guts, Venezuela is tied to the U.S. to buy their oil and Cuba won’t go where ever Venezuela won’t, so they are essentially not a direct threat to America or American Interest)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iran &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(Ring Leader of the below groups, all of whom are willing to attack American interests)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Syria &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(Answers to Iran)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Lebanon &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(The terroristic populace of this country answers to Iran and Syria)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestine &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(Ideals supported by the above countries)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sudan / Somalia &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(Can you say Black hawk down?... However they are not capable of attacking America or American interest, unless we try to land some black hawks again)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saudi Arabia / Pakistan &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(While the people of these countries would like to see America destroyed, the ruling dictatorships of each country would not allow such a thing to happen, as long as they are in control. They are grouped together because they are both dictatorships with control over there people) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;North Korea/China &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(While North Korea and China only share communistic ideals that would be enough for them to ally with one another, however China is too bogged in trade with other countries including the U.S. and it’s allies in order to attack America or American interests. North Korea on the other hand is entirely willing, had, and could attack American interests)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Iraq &lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;(Plain and simple, Iraq unlike Syria and Co. answered to no one, they pledged allegiance to themselves – which made them extremely dangerous. With that in mind, they were entirely willing, had, and could attack American interests…including oil interests)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above one can see the list for capable and competent radical enemies of America, the rest simply don’t matter, because they either are incompetent, already monitored (and therefore not “free” radicals), or allied/neutral to America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that was coherent...Tomorrow I will explore the free aspect of the Free Radical term, or unbound to any other nation.  This makes them a prime threat toward America and American Interests.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116122842884848582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116122842884848582?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116122842884848582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116122842884848582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/why-we-went-to-war.html' title='Why We Went To War'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116063982362822326</id><published>2006-10-12T00:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:45.400-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Commonality Clause</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt; By Evan Thomas&lt;br /&gt;Newsweek&lt;br /&gt;Updated: 3:21 p.m. PT Oct 10, 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct. 10, 2006 - At 11:03 on the morning of Nov. 20, 1967, a giant Âcensus clockÂ in the U.S. Department of Commerce building in Washington marked the moment when the population of the United States reached the 200-million mark.&lt;/blockquote&gt; And so it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btomorrowow 4:28am-ish PST there will be 300 million Americans.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans, Democrats, immigrants, people of all colors and creeds - they won&#39;t matter.  We will be known as 300 million Americans, united by name even if divided by cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within these 50 united States spread across the North American continent commonalityty binds us all together, commonalityty many don&#39;t wish to see.  It is the simple fact that we are all citizens of the same flag.  This hallowed ground serves as the motherland for a many generations, and if 300 million means anything, many more generations to come. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter your location in the entire Universe you are American, a part of nation of peoples.  Quite simple.  You don&#39;t go somewhere and say, hello I am a Republican.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am trying to say, be proud, very proud, of what you are - an American - not what class of American you belong to.  Because in the end game it doesn&#39;t even matter, we are all looked at through the same spy glass.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116063982362822326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116063982362822326?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116063982362822326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116063982362822326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/commonality-clause.html' title='Commonality Clause'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116037188166564990</id><published>2006-10-08T22:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:44.985-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What&#39;s going to happen...</title><content type='html'>While the Planet&#39;s nations scramble to confirm North Korea&#39;s nuclear test, one - such as myself - wonders what will the future now be like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The options stand at three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Nothing will happen, days will go on and North Korea will be sanctioned to the point where its people are dirt poor and starving (like they are now, so not much change).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Sanctions will take place that blockades North Korea so nothing gets in and nothing gets out.  China would participate with its border with North Korea.  However what outcome this produces is not something favorable to the U.S. or the international community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Military action will take place.  However this require Chinese approval.  Whether China will agree to such measures or not is not known.  The regime of Norht Korea will be removed and the country will either be assimilated into South Korea with U.S. aid to build up the north to a more 21st century standard.  There is achance that the Chinese will take the moment to seize control over North Korea, which would get the immediate Asian community angry and could make more enemies.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116037188166564990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116037188166564990?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116037188166564990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116037188166564990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/whats-going-to-happen.html' title='What&#39;s going to happen...'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116036786723693892</id><published>2006-10-08T21:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:44.763-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Latest Reports</title><content type='html'>Early reports indicate North Korea detonated a nuclear bomb.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ball is now in the court of the U.S. and most of them are asleep (or awakened by now, but still).</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/feeds/116036786723693892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/22068217/116036786723693892?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116036786723693892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22068217/posts/default/116036786723693892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://presidentoor.blogspot.com/2006/10/latest-reports.html' title='Latest Reports'/><author><name>PresidenToor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15877525377179660416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/115/picture00513ej.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22068217.post-116016319892366836</id><published>2006-10-06T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T17:31:44.549-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Battlestar Galactica</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7362/240/1600/logo_galactica.1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7362/240/200/logo_galactica.0.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this Friday, the greatest event in all of human history will take place.

Everything happens in October.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Representatives commit lude acts with a minor (and themselves but that is another issue).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians resign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;North Korea blows up itself, and half of China...probably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ramadan...enough said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other world ending events that only a sunrise can bring to my fresh LCD screen during early morning News surfing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey! and lets not forget October 13th, Friday... Besides being the 13th, a Friday, and October, that was the same day 699 years ago that the Knights Templar were arrested and destroyed...oh joy! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Holloween.  The unforgiving end of the month ritual.  Where scores of people pretend to be themselves and run around drunk (oh wait that&#39;s college). No I mean Halloween is where little people dress up as things they can never be, like soccer players, and knock on peoples doors, where people who are too hopped up on some sort of enjoyment answer the door and ask quite joyfully what you are suppose to be, when you are wearing what you are suppose to be, so while your 8 years old you stand there and wonder what idiot gave this person a loan to buy a house and give me candy if they can&#39;t figure out what I am suppose to be, but then you look at the candy and you say shit, they should give everybody as stupid as this person a loan, so I can get plenty of candy.
