Here in modern day America, the anti-military people might describe us military types as
being on welfare rather than serving any useful purpose, but consider the treatment of the
ordinary "Tommy" during the time when the sun never set, etc., etc.,
I pay taxes (and quite a few taxes) that goes to pay for the military. I don't like it, but
I pay it.
That puts me in stark contrast to Bush/Cheney, who privatized Walter Reed Hospital in order
to hand $120 million to Al Neffgen (the former COO of Halliburton and Cheney's buddy) who
immediately made a $40 million profit by cutting services for wounded US soliders by firing
the staff and putting the soldiers in vermin-infested rotting buildings. That's how
Bush/Cheney "support the troops."
Now you pick, Lawrence. Which one of us is the anti-military type? Me or Bush/Cheney? Go
ahead. You tell me.
Why did Lawrence launch this tirade against "leftists"? It's not the 1st or the 15th, so he
didn't get his pension checks which cause his feelings of guilt and remorse.
What else could it be?
Ah, the Libby conviction. Finally, we see that it really was true: Cheney manufactured fake
evidence in order to start a war, and used illegal methods to destroy opponents of the war.
The wingnuts need to distract attention from this. So, attack the leftists.
Libby's conviction may bring down Cheney. Cheney is the unindicted co-conspirator: Libby has
been found guilty in court of criminal acts and Cheney can be indicted and convicted on the
same charges. Cheney stands at risk of being indicted at any moment. If indicted, he will
have to resign.
This cuts his power drastically because opponents will use the threat of jail
for leverage.
We are in the end game of the Bush debacle.
