What I would like to say to Mitt Romney

If I ever get to meet Mitt Romney, there is just one thing I'd like to say to him...

It's about 4 minutes into this clip:



You see, by lying and getting us into an unending war that has done nothing but create more terrorists, while bin Laden is free to roam the caves of Afghanistan, while the Anthrax mailer is still roaming the street of Springfield, while North Korea has been able to develop nuclear weapons and weapons systems that can deliver said nukes to Hawaii, and possibly San Diego soon, while the economy has suffered under subprime mortgages and lead based paint from China, while the federal deficit has ballooned to half a Trillion dollars per year (not including paying for two wars), all while blaming it on the Democrats, is letting the terrorists win.

So, Mitt Romney, I hope Jeff Bell kicks your ass.

You and What Army?

Back when I was trying to survive junior high, a popular phrase was "you and what army?"

I meant that, basically, it would take a whole army to do whatever you were trying to do.

Now, George W Bush is telling Iran to stop building nukes, or we're going to stop it for him.

To which Iran is saying, you guessed it, "You and what army?"

Because, well, we don't exactly have the ability to adaquately fight annother war at the moment. Our troops are stetched so thing fighting for "democracy" or some other such nonsense that it's taken us 5.5 years to fight WarOnTerror:Afghanistan, and we still have not found what we're looking for.

So, what is George's plan for stopping Iran?

Iraq Growing Opium; We Lose War on Terror and War on Drugs

One of the largest ways that the Taliban gets money is by growing poppies for the opium.

One of the things we did well in the early stages of the WaronTerror:Afghanistan was to get rid of the poppy crops. Fast forward to 2007, where this year's poppy crop is expected to be larger than last year's record-setting amount.

And now, we read that they are starting to grow poppies in Iraq:

Farmers in southern Iraq have started to grow opium poppies in their fields for the first time, sparking fears that Iraq might become a serious drugs producer along the lines of Afghanistan.

Rice farmers along the Euphrates, to the west of the city of Diwaniya, south of Baghdad, have stopped cultivating rice, for which the area is famous, and are instead planting poppies, Iraqi sources familiar with the area have told The Independent.

The shift to opium cultivation is still in its early stages but there is little the Iraqi government can do about it because rival Shia militias and their surrogates in the security forces control Diwaniya and its neighbourhood. There have been bloody clashes between militiamen, police, Iraqi army and US forces in the city over the past two months.

Oops.
