Nice ad. Very appropriate for Bush foreign policy.
Between the nose and lips, it looks like a man's entire 'kit'. Very appropriate for morhping into Bush or Cheney, eh? But it was that way ever since the 'hard pack' ads where they had the camel and his other animal-like friends back in the 80's (if I remember the beginning of that campaign correctly). Only one thing - this one seems to have long eyelashes and eye shadow, maybe even mascara. So I wonder if this was done along with the brand name alteration, or if the eyes were that way in the original? No matter, it's not the subject of the post anyway, just some random thoughts from an old friend.
And now to the subject of the post!
I suppose it's no surprise to anyone that Iran stopped it's nuclear program. I'm actually rather surprised to find out they ever really had one, other than accepting information from that Pakistani guy. After all, I've not believed a single word out of the Bush administration since, oh, the first time I heard him talk and realized he's a brain-damaged idiot.
What did not surprise me though, but did really amaze me, was Bush. In the same address he said we had this 'new' information that they had stopped their "nuke-u-lar" development efforts, and that they were still a threat because of it. It was almost the same sentence. What he and his stooges, including Gates, are saying now is that they are still a threat because they (Iran) COULD still develop a bomb.
Well, yes. But then, Russia could go back to overrunning Balkan countries and sending everybody to gulags, Japan COULD go back to attacking the US without declaring war, and the Brits could go back to trying to run colonies all over the world. The Turkish Caliphate COULD rise again and take over northern Africa and Spain. Hell, Italy COULD go back to trying to build the Pax Romana too.
A little realism would be desirable in Washington D.C. these days - not comic book plots and celluloid heroism. But until the next election we haven't a shred of hope for that. And when I look at the current slate of candidates, I think our only hopes for the future are running too far behind to provide any real hope, while the front-runners are just more of the same old same-old. But hey, those rear-runners COULD win in the primaries, just like Iran is still a threat.
...and I was scared, that everyone went off the net, because the House introduced rules legislation about the spending of a non-existent program called, Home Grown Anti-Terrorism Act.
Iran had pictures of its nuclear stuff on TV. That was months ago. Why make your own bomb these days anyway? It makes no cents?
No doubt this is what happened:
Iranian inlellegence came to Central Iowa and learned about the real nature of bargaining. Here, one can trade a ride for a meal; trade cigs for coffee; trade cream for a promise of more cream later on; trade car mainenance for housecleaning, trade downers for heroin, trade pot for meth; trade a stolen food stamp card for a place to stay for one month; trade a monthly bus pass for a cig whenever you need one for a few weeks; and trade redeemable cans and bottles whatever the person wants and according to cost wagered.
The list goes on. One can: sit and talk politics while trying to distract the Quick Trip manager and thus allow the person digging through the trash time enough to get something worthwhile. Go over with choice friends, so a mother is protected while spending time with her kid, thus having back-up if the crazed father decides to break in yelling screaming and threatening to lock everyone up; watchng the back of an immigrant, who gets drunk once in awhile and yells at invisible enemies and getting money; and cigs from a homeless guy you know, when you are out of money.
Yeah, Iran has had their intellegence gathering people here in my small midwestern town and got skinny with us.
Yeah ... perhaps ... but Condoleezza Rice is fairly sure that there is an ICBM in that camel's nose.
Too many drugs in college. That's the problem. I hear it makes a person all PARANOID!
At last the American public is getting some truth. Soon they will realize that it was Bush who attacked New York on 9/11, not Islamic freedom fighters.
The US has history of being deeply involved in Mid East politics.
I guess I don't understand the why of 9/11 if we are at the root of what happened.
It's easier to understand that the US is seen as being so corrupted, that someone or some group would want to punish us...send a warning.
Since 9/11 our people have suffered more than before the events. It would seem our own government has turned upon us, the Middle East and who knows whom else.
Reminds me of the song, "There's a monstor on the loose. He's got his head inside the noose."
