I'm curious how Bush will spin this as a victory. That'll probably be easy since most people are clueless. They'll believe anything. But, how will he answer where the war is after it's no longer "over there"? I suppose after London this whole war on terror thing sounds pretty hollow to most reasonable people, the minority in this country. In the red states they're no doubt awaiting Bush to lead them into the rapture. Maybe he'll even screw that up. I want to know how he's going to explain this to Allah after he's raptured out. http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/071105G.shtml Andy Amago > yrs, > andreas > www.andreas.com > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, > digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
