Good God Y'all
CIA Torture?
Fat Cat Bankers Bailed Out?
Bombing women and children in Iraq?

When the fuck will the United States government be run by American people who are AGAINST all of those things and STOP DOING THAT?!

:nuke:

1. when was it ever?
the Pentagon has only gotten more powerful with each administration, and Rummy took away some of the intelligence from the CIA, and put it under control of the Pentagon, along with the "classified budget".

6. OSP
Rumsfeld. Lots of money missing and HE ADMITTED IT. The Pentagon money disappears to this day. Yet no investigations?

Like I said, when, oh when will the Federal Government REALLY represent American taxpayers and stop the corporate welfare to the perverse and sadistic few who profit?

8. A tiny minority of Americans are against these things?
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 10:42 PM by Ripley
Show me your data. I believe MOST Americans are NOT cool with torturing people, giving money to the banks OR continuing the Iraq War.

Not a tiny minority that thinks both Iraq and Afghanistan were mistakes.

Even as Americans struggle with two wars and an economy in tatters, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds majorities in favor of investigating some of the thorniest unfinished business from the Bush administration: Whether its tactics in the "war on terror" broke the law.

Close to two-thirds of those surveyed said there should be investigations into allegations that the Bush team used torture to interrogate terrorism suspects and its program of wiretapping U.S. citizens without getting warrants. Almost four in 10 favor criminal investigations and about a quarter want investigations without criminal charges. One-third said they want nothing to be done.


Not a tiny minority.

7. Guess there ain't no anti-war party any more
When did everyone become so gung-ho kill-em-all?

Fight. Blood. Destroy.

End of an Empire, for sure.
