"Neocons don’t believe in diplomacy. They believe in coercion. Neocons denigrate diplomacy as the epitome of weakness. Neocons slap down diplomacy before it can rise. The Iranians offered talks, and neocon National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley immediately slapped down the offer as "simply a device by the Iranians to try to divert pressure that they are feeling." The Bush neocons are bent on war with Iran."If Iran is Bush's next target, will he restart a draft? We must get them out of office!
I spoke with a friend tonight who knows a contractor who is helping build tons of new barracks in Fayetteville, NC. He thinks the draft is coming. Surely that would decimate a lot of the Republican's support.
In January 2006, the North Carolina State Executive Committee of the Democratic Party (about 300 Democrats who come from all over the state) unanimously passed a resolution calling for impeachment of Bush and Cheney, and also to remove Alberto Gonzalez from office. The press was there, but they didn't report it. hmmm...
It blows my mind that Bush still has so many loyal supporters. After what he has done, I wouldn't think there would be any left at all. Ah, but the corporate media does put such an appealing spin on our cowardly cowboy.
Even Martin Luther King Jr's children succombed to the crushing pressure of the Bush administration. I heard a poignant interview of Harry Belafonte by Amy Goodman last night on Democracy Now, explaining how they first invited him to give one of the eulogies for his friend, Corretta Scott King. Then a couple days later, President Bush announced that he planned to attend the funeral. The next day the family called Harry to uninvite him, because had spoken his mind about Bush. Last January, when Belafonte was in Venezuela visiting democratically elected Hugo Chavez, he called Bush 'the greatest terrorist in the world'. Belafonte didn't want to embarrass the King family by talking about it at the time, but I'm glad he finally did come forward. It is courageous and probably dangerous to criticize our Tyrant. To hear Harry Belafonte tell it, go to http://www.democracynow.org/ and search for Belafonte, it's worth a listen. He is a loving soul.
