My head is exploding from all this propaganda
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 05:48 PM by serryjw
First the lies about Afghanistan.Did anyone REALLY think we were going to get OBL? We wanted the pipeline to the Caspian Sea, the CIA needed their drug money for their dirty tricks and it was one more important geo-political country to control

Than Iraq...WE ALL KNOW THOSE LIES

Now Iran..All experts say they are 5-10 years away from a nuke...what's our hurry?


The lies keep coming out daily...all becuase of oil

quote.....
On his radio program, Bill O'Reilly stated: "You know in a sane world, every country would unite against Iran and blow it off the face of the Earth. That would be the sane thing to do."
end quote......

2. Reminds me . . .
. . . of those tacky-assed junky products people buy with the big red sticker on it: AS SEEN ON TV.

Must be true.

5. Seems to me Bill Oreilly could be taken in for making terrorist
threats. Blowing a country off the face of the map, (well, if it was our country) would be considered by some to be a terrorist act.

6. I love a good EOTW (End of the World) tale
I've read "The Stand", "Cell", "Lucifer's Hammer", "The Alien Years", and "The Long Emergency", among others. Until I read "The Long Emergency" I had assumed that the EOTW was going to occur subsequent to my demise.

I've also read and re-read "1984". I read it for the first time when 1984 was still years in the future. I applied the lessons learned from "1984" to what I saw happening in the Soviet Union.

I read "The Handmaid's Tale" many years ago. I couldn't see any Western society devolving in such a fashion.

Then Bush was elected....

Now it seems that we have everything in place but Klaatu landing on the Washington Mall.

The future is here and it sucks.

7. Very possible true
"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel," the Sheikh was fond of saying.

9. Iran: 5-10 years (maybe); N. Korea: NOW!
Which is scarier?

I mean, really?

11. That answers a lot, don't it?
I really wonder if the old "create the boogeyman, wave the flag, start the war" trick is really going to work this time, though.

14. Unfortunately...I think it will
They are evil but they are so good at it. They don't need Congressional approval or support from Americans. Did you actually think we live in a Representative Democracy?:sarcasm:

There is another thread that i said maybe I wish they would. Something has to shock Americans in to taking to the streets. 9-11 didn't, the Iraq invasion didn't, gas prices didn't, the Patriots Act didn't, wiretapping of Americans didn't and 100 other atrocities....what will it take?

12. "You know in a sane world,
every person would unite against O'Reilly and **** him off the face of the Earth. That would be the sane thing to do."

I would get in trouble for this..... but he won't
