Do we need a new Secretary of Offense?

[Hubert Flottz]

The Department of Offense, as we all know, is what became of the Department of Defense, when the commander in chief declared that we will adopt his policy of preemptive warfare. Congress didn't even notice.

Have you ever noticed how the PNAC has turned everything upside down? Even the truth has been reversed. What's real is fake and what's fake is real now! The "General" on Keith Olbermann's Countdown, says that Iraq is not yet involved a civil war, because Iraq still has a functioning president and a functional government! By that type of reasoning, America never had a civil war either, because from 1861 through 1865, the US government was working overtime and so was president Lincoln. There were in fact two functional governments with two presidents functioning, all through the American Civil War. That TV General needs to read his 10th grade American History book and retain that information. How in the hell did he ever graduate from West Point?

For 230 years, America never needed a Department of Offense, or a Secretary of Offense and we got along fine. We had a War Department when war was declared, but WAR has never been declared in Iraq. Now Bush wants to grab even more military power, contrary to the US Constitution and the laws on the books. The GOP in the House tried to sneak through a back door bill, that will turn all the Guard and Reserve units over to the federal government too. Bush and Rummy have already shown that they can't be trusted to use the power that they already have. Why would anyone in their right mind, want to give them anymore power?

1. We have one already, and he's really, really, really

offensive. Makes it his business to be as offensive as possible.

[Hubert Flottz]

3. He's good at that!

Credit where credit is due!

These people are CRAZY as bats!

[mmonk]

2. Yes, the offense needs a new quarterback.

[Hubert Flottz]

4. Our present Quarterback is...

Half Assed and two faced!

5. Well I'm deeply offended

and perhaps there should be a whole government department
to keep America offended... the Bush admin is doing such a heck of a job at it

[Hubert Flottz]

22. If you're not offended you're not paying attention...

I was offended when they threw my vote in the trash in 2000.

I'm more like alarmed now.

6. Legacy Students

Are like athletes. If they make lower than a C, they get a C average. The schools are reticent to alienate possible contributors, though the Bush family is pretty cheap. I doubt they'd have lost much.

Sure Iraq is already in a Civil War. We gave that to them with our invasion and occupation, for what turned out to be a lying, false reason.

I've been saying for three or four years that we really don't have a department of defense, but a War Department. Interesting that they added Homeland Security, already having a huge budget for "Defense". Certainly they are redundant as named. Anyway, the "Defense" department under Bush, like most others, did a really poor job of defending us. The reason clearly is that the DOD is actually an offensive, attacking war body. This is sad, but true.

7. We need an Offensive Coordinator, and a Defensive Coordinator.

The Secretary of Defense will henceforth be referred to as "Coach." If we can find a good Coach, we can turn this team around, the way Vince Lombardi turned around the Washington Redskins. Lombardi said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." It's time we started to win a few conflicts.

9. We REALLY need a better Officiating crew!

False Start,(lying about WMD and 9/11) Unsportsman like conduct,(from before day one) Too much time,(four years instead of four weeks) Illegal Motion,(Every play) Running a Pick(shrub is always picking his nose) Delay of Game, Encroachment,(spying and tearing up the rule book) Holding,(on Joe Lieberman) Illegal Man Downfield,(tom Delay) Illegal Procedures,(the entire GOP and SCOTUS) Illegal Shift,(of the blame) Illegal Use of Hands or Feet,(killing looting and plundering) Personally Foul,(Ann and Rush and Bildo) Spearing,(the tax payers and the troops with the green weenie) Tripping,(I think Bush has been having flashbacks) Unnecessary Roughness!1!1!!!1!1!1

All of the ABOVE!

[megatherium]

18. LOL! nt

[bryant69]

8. I presume you all know that the Department of Defense was

until fairly rcently, the Department of War. Which is, perhaps, a more honest title.

12. I just wanted to see if you knew!

The War Monger Department

The Offense Industry(gun runners)controls it, whatever you call it.

Let's just call it a nightmare!

[bryant69]

13. A necessary evil.

[sam sarrha]

10. wee need to call the Orkin man and have the whole WH cleaned out

[Hubert Flottz]

11. It's the roach motel!

They had a bug killer and he was a dud like the rest of the team!

[sam sarrha]

14. wasnt the bug killer the guy that got arrested for steal'n from Walmart..

and got off..

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Tom Delay is the Exterminator...

The guy that was stealing was just your everyday garden variety GOP vermin. Those kind of things multiply like mad at 1600 Pa. Ave.

[sam sarrha]

17. thanks.. you cant tell which criminal is which without a program..

[madokie]

15. I want to see our next President and Congress to start a Dept of Peace

as Dennis Kucinich wanted in the last democratic primaries.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. With the Bushetals and their Orwellian language

we may see that with the next Congress.

Not sure if that takes an act of Congress to do or not though. 'Someone' suddenly changed the Government Accounting Office to the Government Accountability Office. It might have just been one of Bush's 'mis-speecherins' and a light went off over someone's head that it was brilliant, though.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. Peace to the GOP is like sunlight to a vampire...

They hate peace and prosperity for anyone but the wealthy and their cronies,(capos)goons and thugs.

"You're either with us or against us!" There is no middleground, no room for compromise, no room for compassion, no room for forgiveness, no room for peace on Earth.

"Stay the course!" Even if it leads to ruin. (Hitler believed the same things)

[Bill McBlueState]

20. "What's real is fake and what's fake is real now!"

I'd say that motto nicely sums up the 21st century so far.

Disturbing times, disturbing times...

23. Iraqi deaths don't count, according to Tommy Franks

That's why it's not a Civil War, according to the up is down/down is up Bushies.

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Tommy is one of the chosen ones.

He had the right lips at the right time. Tommy is as crazy as Bush is.

Edit...And General Myers had the right pucker too...General Peter Puff...err...Pace, is right out of the same old Mouldy Mold. Colon Powell was another yes man. Bush don't want anyone around him who can't lie and kiss ass!

[lebkuchen]

25. What with all the tortures they've all promoted

w/Rummy at the helm, I wonder what information was gleaned, now that we're getting our asses kicked in Iraq AND Afghanistan.
