pain and politics
so i haven't been able to run since the tournament 18 days ago. i'm just now able to ride bike without my kneed aching. i'd chalk it up to being old if it hadn't happened before. hopefully i will be able to start practicing and playing pickup this week.
evidently professing solidarity with a country is the same as having been supported by them for years. are we, as the american public, really buying that saddam and obl are best buddies? even in that tape he barely could stand saying that he supported iraq. get real, iraq is a secular country, the thing obl would hate. take religion away from obl and you destroy his power. now why would he want to be friends with someone who would take all his power away?
and bush, what makes the supporters of this war think he'll have the stamina to follow through on rebuilding iraq? has he followed through on anything? besides cutting taxes to the upper class, but even in that he hasn't addressed the economic problems he created. have we gotten obl? rebuilt afghanistan? fixed the enron type problems? are we really safer, or do we just know our colors better now? hell it runs in the family, his daddy couldn't finish iraq off the first time, what makes you think that a bad carbon copy of bush number 1 is going to? i mean daddy had the chance to do it right and he blew it. when you win a war, you occupy the country you defeated, you don't let the evil person ruling them stay in power, why did you fight the war if you were going to do that. did we leave hitler in power after ww2? no! lots of talk, but no follow through. come on, their name says it all, they're pussies.
and what's up with colin powell? every day i lose more and more respect for him. maybe it's because i went to school briefly with his daughter, but i used to think he was intelligent, but evidently he's just bush's little lap dog. shrubs hand is so far up colin's colon that you can smell the shit leaking out at 50 paces.
