Is the village idiot planning on bombing

[Jamastiene]

yet another country within the next few days? I have been hearing and feeling (more feeling than hearing) "maneuvers" all evening tonight and this morning. Well, it has been going on since I got home from the college at about 9:30. I live in the southern central part of NC. My aunt heard it and felt it too. I was just wondering if there is any news about some snit Bush is having with anyone specific within the last few days. Usually when we hear the practice bombs going off, it means they are gearing up to invade somewhere soon.

3. I live

about 70 miles or so south of Fayettelville. I take my aunt up there sometime this week for her VA appointment. What a hellhole the VA hospital is there. I have seen veterinarian clinics cleaner than that. You can really tell that the repugs see the whole entire idea of letting veterans get medical benefits as some form of socialism. They treat the veterans like cattle, or should I say the cattle probably get treated better? I dread going to the VA hospital, but I must say, it is the only choice my aunt has. She's been denied service conntected disability. What a sham. She is against Bush and against the war too.

I would love to know when out bombs fall down....it's a sad scenario, but it's time we recognize the time we have to kneel down and find out we are decimating those across seas.

4. Lots of helicopters around here too

I live about 70 miles north of Richmond - the boys from Mechanicsville have been flying all along the power lines up here. Two weeks ago they keep me awake all night.

Yep, same thing here too at about the same time too. I think he is planning something else again.

7. If I were near a military base -- I could make a prediction

Over two years ago -- I could "feel" the change at the Oak Harbor Naval Air Base -- and started predicting that bushie was getting ready to invade. (on edit -- many people were telling me that bushie was merely putting on a show in order to get Saddam to give up his WMD. "No", said I, bushie has every intention of invading -- he isn't merely bluffing -- he will invade.)

The gates to the base were on heightened alert status -- you can tell by the way the Marines responded to each vehicle stopping at the gate.

Also the number of take offs and landings increased by a huge number -- and the night time practice runs were really "intense."

The Marines attached to Naval Air Bases will drill more intensely -- and this intensity and anxiety can be felt or almost smelled in the air.

Oak Harbor is barometer for war -- what I noticed as soon as bushie got into office -- suddenly there was money for NEW housing. And this air base that was winding down after the cold war -- was now dressing up for a new war. The feeling was reminiscent of the Vietnam era.

I have since asked others who were visiting a nearby Marina at the same time if they noticed the changes -- no one did.

But then I grew up on Naval Air Bases -- and I was living on-base during the Cuban Missile crisis and during the Vietnam War.

It is almost as if the military bases are living creatures -- and you can pick up the emotions of the collective anxiety, anticipation of the people who live and breath the military way of life.

But thankfully I am not anywhere near a US military base at the moment -- and it is a relief not to feel the growing tension from the low level military personnel who must know by know that they are getting screwed by the bushie war machine.

The following is a rather crude saying written on the bathroom stall of a large military base. "Working hard to give birth to another bush."

8. it's like that here too.

I understand what you mean. We had a marine in our class in college who never gets sick all of a sudden miss several days in a row and he came back "different" than he was before. He said he had a sinus infection, but his answer had a certain level of anxiety and preoccupation to it. I think he's one of the ones they are calling back. Hasn't been home long. He's a nice guy. I hope they don't have another war soon. Too many good people going "over there" dying and too many innocents "over there" dying as well. You are right about that tension. The jets are flying over in higher than normal quantities right now too. 'Copters too.
