Shut Up Iris

First of all, fuck Afghanistan and the people that live there. I don't care about them or their shitty country and it's bullshit that any American should be dying in Afghanistan. At least we have a good reason for being there.Think about it.

Osama Bin Laden masterminded and funded the 9/11 attacks, the Taliban, who nominally controlled Afghanistan were harboring Osama and Al Quaeda, one could see it was only a matter of time before we in the U.S. of A went in to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. So of course President George W. Asshole sent in the army and captured and or killed, well people, that may or may not have been Al Quaeda but who were certainly NOT Osama Bin Laden.



Of course, the Senate Armed Services Committee in the Republican Controlled Senate were all on board for going in and getting Bin Laden, they didn't ask any questions , they didn't even hold a fucking hearing to ask things like 'What are our objectives?''What will constitute a sucessful mission?''Will we engage in an occupation, or are we just after Bin Laden and the Taliban?''Will we be also getting involved in other waste of time/life/money wars at the same time?' the rubber stamp was applied and off we went to Afghanistan.

That was then, this is now. Now Senate Republicans are wary of Obama's plan for Afghanistan and his goals for measuring success in Afghanistan. That IS interesting. When we have a Republican President, Republican Senators and lawmakers are perfectly happy to get behind a President sending our troops to die in a foreign land with no plan and no way for measuring success, but a Democrat gets elected.................and now the plan (which they didn't even have before) gives them pause, and makes them question whether it's such a good idea. Chief among them is one of Bush's main rubber-stampers, Senator John McCain.



Now, I'm no big city lawyer, but that smacks to me of how do you say in English? Oh yeah hypocrisy. Fuck I hate politicians.



I hate the hypocrisy, but I also hate how these fucktard politicians have no problem wasting lives and money when the prestige of their own political party is on the line. I hate that the war in Afghanistan is STILL going on despite the failure of it's only stated goal: Get Bin Laden Dead or Alive. Our troops are in a country, where no one wants them and our soldiers are forced to try and fight not only the Taliban, but corruption, poverty and our own retarded NATO allies. If John McCain, or indeed any politician had any balls, or any patriotism they would have said 'fuck no' to the war in the first place or at the very least asked some questions of the man that got us into it. Motherfuckers.

Having said that, do I like President Obama's plan? Fuck no. It's not so much a plan as a wish list. Most of the plan that our soldiers will now be asked to execute relies almost entirely on Hamid Karzai's corrupt, ineffective and vote stealing government. It also relies on Pakistan's terrorist fighting capacity. So it has no chance of working, ever.



What would work in Afghanistan? If we look at history we have to conclude that NOTHING will work. Afghanistan is another one of those countries cobbled together by Imperial powers during wars of conquest. Afghanistan has several different tribal groups who all hate each other and all have different languages, customs and even religions. They have nothing in common and access to heavy weaponry, all we are doing is providing them with nice American targets. What is the worst that can happen if we just leave Afghanistan?



The worst is that we take away the main reason for the Taliban's continued existence: foreign occupation. The Taliban was born of the Soviet Invasion (thanks to our money and guns)and only had nominal control of Afghanistan and waning fortunes and recruitment when we decided to invade.Before we invaded Iran was working to undermine the hated Sunni Taliban, the Northern Alliance was holding it's own and making gains everywhere in Afghanistan except in Helmand where the Pashtun Taliban originated. Now what? Now Iran is probably providing support to anyone who hates the U.S. as usual. We have put the Warlords of the Northern Alliance in government and looked the other way as they grow opium, steal reconstruction money and rule like kings with President Karzai's tacit approval. Instead of Afganistani's deciding who they wanted to rule they have 'democracy' forced on them at gunpoint, a corrupt, ineffective democracy. Civil wars only have an outcome if there is a winner. All throughout history foreign super powers stepping in only delays the inevitable civil war and it's natural outcome. Absent the British Empire India and Pakistan finally sorted things out, mostly. Absent the Soviet Union the Balkans finally got on resolving border issues dating from the time of the Byazantine Empire. These were bloody horrible wars, just like the American Civil War, but what we have to remember, they are none of our business.

So here is a picture of Osama Bin Laden's niece.

I think it's time that we as Americans sit back and ask ourselves 'what the fuck does the CIA do?' we deserve an honest answer. During the Cold War talk of reducing the CIA's budget or shit-canning it altogether was heresy. Heresy even though the CIA was the one branch of government riddled with KGB double agents, in fact 90% of Soviet Russia's information on Top Secret American shit was obtained from the CIA, and yet only two CIA agents were ever caught passing such information. How do we know? The KGB files are public, that's how we know.

Recently the CIA has done much, much more harm than good.Did the CIA foresee the fall of communism? No? They were caught off guard and actually suggested it was a KGB trick.How about the fall of the Shah and the Iranian revolution? No? The CIA in Iran only suggested that the Shah was having minor trouble, and then had to engineer a coupe that soured our formerly good relations with Iran. Did the CIA intercept overseas Al Qaeda operatives before they flew jets into the WTC? No? Well, that was a tough one. Korean nukes, did the CIA see that coming? No? Well, you know North Korea is a tough place to get info out of? Iranian nukes? No? The CIA publicly claims that Iran is a nuclear threat while they privately admit that Iran has discontinued it's Nuclear Weapons program. How about Saddam Hussein's WMD's I'm sure they found tons of those after their sources told them where they were? No, damn.

So what the fuck has the CIA been using taxpayer money for??


So why do we bother? So far this decade and the previous decade we got false information that led us into the Iraq war, nuclear stalemate with North Korea and leading us to conflict with Iran. This leaves us to two conclusions. First the CIA is incompetent or Second the CIA is lying. Either way they are doing us no good. I for one think the CIA should immediately be disbanded and the billions of dollars they get should pay for universal healthcare.

The paranoia of the Cold War led to the growth of the nebulous CIA but history has shown that the CIA is often wrong and/or late with any information that might save the lives of Americans at home and abroad. If you watch the movies you'll see that we need British Intelligence to save the CIA's ass time and again.



It's time that we Americans used our brains and started getting rid of the chaff in our government that does nothing but cost us money with no results and the CIA is the perfect place to start. Government should be lean and mean and most importantly serve the people. We aren't being served by the CIA, the CIA is simply a self perpetuating house of lies that seeks to justify it's own existence by 'leaking' information of threats to keep us too scared to realize what a crock of unprofessional shit they are.



We've learned that the CIA has been universally wrong in it's threat assessments, they have broken US and international law with extraordinary renditions and torture and have generally gotten in the way of the FBI investigation 9/11, the bomb attack on the USS Cole and actually arresting terrorists and bringing them to justice.

Far from being useless, the CIA is actually a liability to the United States of America and endangers each and every Americans lives and freedoms every day.

Normally I'm proud to be American, but every now and again I look around at what my fellow Americans are doing and I see some very stupid, shameful, ignorant things that no one with any portion of a working brain would do. Americans are the world's best at doing things without even understanding what they are doing, or why.

I give you Christmas in August:


That's right. In an effort to boost sales and get people spending Christmas has been rolled out in August. Now, I'm no economics expert, but pushing Christmas sales ahead to August , during a recession, I don't know, somewhere in my head that thing called my brain just shouts 'PEOPLE STILL DON'T HAVE JOBS OR MONEY YOU ASSHOLES!!' and I have to agree with my brain. I then give it scotch as a reward.

The next thing that is embarrassing me about Americans is Hitler:


Now, I'm no big time city lawyer but I agreed with Republicans that it was tasteless, crass and blown all out of proportion when anti-war and anti-torture protesters showed up to protests with things that equated Bush with Hitler. They aren't even close, there is no comparison. Of course Republicans having a shameful tactic like that pulled on them, wouldn't stoop to using such a pig ignorant and obviously retarded tactic that has no value in political discourse and is only a shock tactic to fool retards............


Universal health care is not socialism, Hitler didn't start up the Nazi regime with universal health care and giving Americans a universal public option is not Nazism by any convoluted stretch of the imagination. It isn't and anyone who says it is a lying asshole. The United States of America has the 35th best health care system in the world, which means we are #1 in health care among third world nations, according to Foreign Policy magazine the US is the 4th worst health care reform mess on the planet. The US spends ten times as any other developed country on Earth only to get the 35th best? The US is the only industrialized nation without universal health care of some sort? Fuck, the United States is the Mexico of industrialized nations when it comes to health care.

Of course if people don't like facts they can voice whatever their opinion is, this is after all a free country, so why not show up at a Town Hall meeting in your area and take part in a nice, reasoned, question and answer session with your local lawmakers:


Embarrassed? You should be. I'll explain it slowly here. Guns are weapons. Guns are designed to kill people. Showing up someplace with loaded weapons strapped to you implies a certain level of hostility. Showing up at a political rally or debate with a weapon only has one purpose, to intimidate those who do not think or feel as you do. Bringing a gun to political rally is the ultimate form of censorship. The 'agree with me or die' platform was very popular with, you guessed it:


If you want to call someone a Nazi, do it over something like carrying guns and showing up in full military regalia to a political debate. Armed thugs at political events is basically what Nazism is, it has nothing to do with health care. I've mentioned before that I like guns, I think people should be allowed to carry them, with certain common sense restrictions. Those restrictions should rely on the common sense of the people. Reasonable people should be able to look in the mirror and say things like: 'I'm going to pick up the kids at day care, I should leave the gun at home.' or 'I'm having dinner with my good friends, maybe there will be alcohol, I'll leave the gun at home.' and finally 'I'm going to a Town Hall meeting, people may not agree with me and I shouldn't try and intimidate them into silence, I'll leave the gun at home.' BUT the embarrassing fact is that retarded American assholes have lost the ability to make even the simplest of common sense judgment calls. That's what makes it so easy for people to take your rights away, you idiots.

So, there you have. The average American's lack of common sense makes this gung-ho gun owner rub my temples and see why people feel gun restrictions are necessary. The inability of brain dead Americans make this Patriot say 'Universal healthcare? Why not, the people ramming the Nazi signs down my throat don't have a plan so we may as well go with the people who have an actual plan.' and finally, stupid ass American stores make me throw up my hands and say 'Fuck baby Jesus, I'm not even going to celebrate Christmas anymore. I'm not buying shit for any body.'

The lesson here is that if you throw out common sense and try to shove things on to people using stupid advertising, calling them Nazis or waving your gun at them, they aren't going to listen to you.

You stupid assholes.

That's right, contrary to the hopes of millions of deluded Americans, my entire family included, President Obama has turned out to be just your average lying politician. Don't believe me? Fuck you I has the proofs right here:

Guantanamo Bay



Good Obama said during the campaign that Guantanamo bay was shameful and that if elected he would close it immediately and have the prisoners that had evidence against them tried in regular courts in front of real judges and juries. Good Obama also said that those who are not guilty of any crime would be freed.



Bad Obama now says that when he said 'close Guantanamo Bay immediately' he meant 'Close it, eventually, maybe'. It's not closed yet. Not only is it not closed but the evil and horrible 'Military Commissions' set up by Dubyah to try the detainees are now Obama's solution. Guantanamo Bay was set up by an executive order, it can be closed by executive order. Not only has he not closed it but he hasn't even freed any of the detainees that have never been charged with a crime and there was never any evidence to support that they were even terrorists. Bull fucking shit. Obama 'ordered' Guantanamo Bay closed, but it's still there and the commissions are still up and running and I'm sure the fucktards there are still water boarding the a-rabs.

Sounds like something a lying-ass run of the mill politician would do.

The Iraq Occupation



Good Obama said that the Iraq invasion was a mistake, that he opposed it from the get go and that if elected he would end the occupation that was an affront to the dignity of Iraqi's and proving to be Al Quaeda's best recruiting tool. That was a popular thing to say over 60% of Americans agree with all that and most of them voted for Obama rather than John '100 years is too short a time to be in Iraq' McCain, on the basis of statements like that. A man standing for hope and change would do that, end the occupation. But a lying ass politician................?



Surprise! Bad Obama hasn't ended the occupation of Iraq. So far all Obama has done is stick to the Status of Forces Agreement put in place by George Dubyah Fuckface. Soldier one has not come home from Iraq, except those being rotated out. The same number of troops are in Iraq as before Dubyah's 'surge' Obama wanted all US troops out in sixteen months, well, he's getting a bit behind schedule, they aren't even preparing to pull out. Even worse Obama can't seem to get the military (he IS Commander in Chief) to follow the SOFA agreement. The agreement states that US troops aren't allowed to patrol Iraqi cities or carry out operations without consent of the Iraqi government and military....................there are already reports that US soldiers are breaking the agreement by carrying out patrols in Mosul and Baghdad. Good job Politician Obama.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell




Good Obama said that no American that bravely wanted to serve this country should be barred from doing so based on gender or sexual preference.



Ha-HA! Gotcha again, bitch! Not only is 'Don't ask, don't tell' still the law of the land but Obama (Commander in Chief) has let military tribunals proceed to kick homos out of the military while he sits there with a shit eating grin saying how he wants to change it. I call bullshit, again. He is, as I have been pointing out, Commander in Chief of the armed forces. If he thought that 'Don't ask, don't tell' was really bad he could simply ORDER the military brass to ignore it and he could ORDER that soldiers and officers that have been or are in the process of being discharged for being homosexual be reinstated.

He could, but he won't. He already got the gay vote. He won't need it again until 2012. Suckers.

Focus on Afghanistan



Good Obama said during his campaign that he would end the Iraqi occupation and use the troops there to shift focus to Afghanistan. That makes sense, after all Al Quaeda is based there and we've been losing there since the Iraq war started and Dubyah got tired of playing with his old toy and ignored it in favor of a shiny new Iraq.



What Bad Obama really meant was the Iraqi occupation won't end and as a result there will be no extra troops. So in order to look good politically, he send seventeen thousand more troops. Seventeen thousand. Really? You call that focusing? That brings the grand total of US troops in a country the size of Texas to only fifty-five thousand. Lets' put this in perspective, the Soviet Union had their asses handed to them after sending in a QUARTER OF A MILLION troops.So two hundred thousand less than that should do just fine?

By 'focus on Afghanistan' Obama meant 'send enough troops to cover my ass politically'.

Now I could continue to go on with things like his 'more regulations for banks' which turned into 'put a banker in charge of the bailout and treasury and give them billions with no accountability', or the 'engagement' with Syria, Iran and North Korea to try and halt the 'spread' of nuclear weapons. Well, Syria is ready to go, but not Obama. Obama has decided that meddling with Iran's elections is more important than frank and open discussions. Finally he's decided to make North Korea even more erratic and dangerous by slapping on additional sanctions after they make some missile tests that by all accounts fail.

Am I surprised by any of this? No. Barack Obama is a politician, he will say and do what he needs to do to hold office. That's it. It's sad that in the United States that a politician can't even keep the most public of promises, but that's life and all you who bought his 'Hope and Change' bullshit are to blame. Good job morons.

You wanted this:



But what you got is:

Now, I want to state again for the record that in the last Presidential campaign I wrote in Ron Paul, the only REAL conservative to run for President since Ronald Reagan and I don't agree with 2/3rds of what President Phineas Q. Obama is doing. However , he is so far leaps and bounds better than George 'dubyah' Bush. I've got an upcoming blog on Obama's campaign lies, but today I'm hitting Republicans again. I'm hitting them because I expect that after losing so miserably both houses of Congress and the Presidency that by now you think they would have dropped the dead horse of legislating morality, the Religious Right and Rush 'Boss Hog' Limbaugh. You think that at this point they would sit down and look at the issues, the wars, the economic meltdown and general Republican destruction and then look at who predicted all of these issues better than four years ago and say 'Dr. Paul! Save us!' but no, Republicans have decided to play the 'Ass Hurt Loser' card.



First Republicans go with the race card, or I should say the racist card Obama the magic negro, Obama the Coon, Obama monkey dolls so on and so forth. It's just childish and stupid and the type of tactic when an all white Texas High School Football team loses to the team with a black kid 'That nigger beat us.' that's what republicans are saying. The party founded by the man who abolished slavery has come half circle and is now the party of the rich white elite. Why just last week Boss Hog Limbaugh said this:
"
I wonder what Obama is gonna do. He'll probably call up Hugo Chavez to find out what to do about it, except Hugo's in the hills marshalling forces to invade Honduras. And if we had any good luck, Honduras would send some people here and help us get our government back."

That's right, Republicans are so ass-hurt from the thrashing they received at Obama's hands that they want foreign troops to depose him. I really wish Limbaugh would be honest with the American public and cut the hyperbole bullshit and just admit that as a small penised, insecure, drug addicted, racist, rich white man that he can't stand being beaten by a 'halfrican american'. I'd have a lot more respect for Limbaugh if he would drop the charade and just come out and say 'I hate niggers' then we could drop all the pretenses.



While the racism is bad and really quite amusing in a 'how stupid are these assholes' kind of way we have other examples of the sore loser mentality. Take former Senator Norm Coleman.



Now when George 'Bring em on' Bush 'won' the election in 2000, Al Gore being a man ( a confused, wooden man) did the right thing and decided that winning the Presidency through endless legal challenges was bad form. This magnanimous and sporting act from the shrill and slightly unhinged leader of the 'global warming' movement who has endlessly promoted himself and his movie SOMEHOW outclassed the Republicans. When Norm Coleman 'won' by a slight margin that by law automatically called for a recount he challenged it. He tried t o stop the recount. When the recount went ahead and he 'lost' he then challenged his previous challenge and wanted MORE recounts. Basically instead of saying 'I'll take my ball and go home' he wanted the courts to recount the votes until he won. Former Senator Coleman, you have no dignity, you fucking lost ass-brain. Thanks for wasting all this time and tax payer money to prove what a sore loser you are. After the whining and Norm's unbelievable performance as the worst sore loser in history I'm actually Glad that Al Franken is a Senator now.



You know you are a monumental grade A asshole when you finally give up and people are saying 'Thank God Al Franken is finally a Senator!'

Finally we come to another loser, whiny ass-face. This guy:



His name is Michael Scheuer, or Micahel Shoyer, if you go by Glenn Beck's website because he can't be bothered to actually spell his guests names right. This monumental ass-bag was in charge of catching Osama Bin Laden. He failed, he totally, categorically, where is Bin Laden, FAILED. He failed so bad in his hunt for Bin Laden that we still haven't caught Bin Laden.

There is a reason he never caught Bin Laden, I will quote him:

“The only chance we have” to repair our national security apparatus “is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.”

That's right, he wants Bin Laden to attack America to prove his point. What is his point? I guess that his point is that he failed to get Bin Laden or it's that he supports terrorism against Americans as a valid form of political expression. Maybe he just plain hates America? The fact is that Fox News and right wing media is embracing him and his comments, just as they are embracing Boss Hog Limbaugh's anti-niggerisms and lined up behind Norm Coleman to cheer his endless court cases.

All of these are just different forms of attacks made by whiny losers. The racism, the overthrow America, the litigate elections and of course the hoping that terrorists win while Obama is president is all just sour grapes. The 'mainstream' Republican Party lost on their failed war, failed economics and failed moral crusades and it's easier to lash out at the winner than it is to look at yourself and see why you fucked up so miserably and actually change the part of you that sucks.

So in summation: suck it up and fix you broken party or fuck off.
