POPSThe State Religion: The myth of national security stands between us and the future
I repeat: "Toughness" and strength through militarism speak to the myth of nationalism but will get us only deeper into the quagmire that President Bad Example has bequeathed us as his legacy. We won't stop terrorism with shock-and-awe bombing, torture and pre-emptive global bullying. Almost everybody knows this by now, but our presidential candidates still genuflect before the almighty defense budget, varying only in the fervor they are able to project. This is scary, is it not -- that we might wind up with More of the Same as our next commander-in-chief, simply because we lack the capacity to step outside the stagnant mythology of macho nationalism. "Preachers warn of hellfire to offer rescue from it, which is available to those who submit," writes Carroll. "This feedback loop of damnation-salvation-submission serves the people by offering meaning, and it serves the elite by protecting the structure of power. In religion, all of this is overt. In presidential politics, it is im

POPS The 'Surrender And Defeat' Party's Quagmire When it became apparent in August that Lt. Gen. David Petraeus would have good news for Congress, House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina warned darkly such news would be “a real problem for us.” The Party of Surrender is floundering. Yes, it is time to talk of “quagmire.” But the quagmire is not the artificial one in Iraq, which the media and the Left had hoped would doom George W. Bush. This is a quagmire of the Democrats own making. It is a quagmire of defeatism and surrender, where a common-sense approach to our national security has been replaced by partisan measures aimed to enrich trial lawyers and endanger Americans. And it is a quagmire in which the Democrats are now stuck.

POPSBush: "If you lived in Iraq, you'd be saying ..." There are at least 655,000 Iraqis, now dead, who are not say, "God, I love freedom". The living are praying, "God, I hate occupation and tyranny--please end it!" Meanwhile Americans under a new Homeland Security government--that would make George Washington blush and Patrick Henry wax militant--are saying "what happened to our freedom?" The video is something, Bush cozy with Sarkosy, the Mossad asset. Does he look a bit tipsy or drunk?

POPSThe Day Nobody Was Killed In Iraq This is really good news! And of course it is nowhere to be found in the mainstream media. Our mainstream liberal propaganda machines want us to keep thinking we are in a quagmire, the army is broken, hope is lost, and it's all Bush's fault. Hello.... we are winning this war!!! Thanks to our resolute President and our magnificent armed forces.

POPSIraq: Cost in $$$ Too bad we could have used some of that money to actually combat terrorism instead of getting bogged down in the Neocon's nation-building quagmire in Iraq.

POPSNow Bush says Iraq IS like Vietnam... Bush will say just about ANYTHING to keep his war going, going going. It is so obvious, he wants his despicable war to continue until the end of his incumbency, so he can dump it in someone else's lap and I'm sure he's hoping that someone will be a Democrat. Then perhaps all the blame of this sad, quagmire of a war will not be associated with his name in the history books... That's what HE THINKS!

POPSThe Untold Story of the Cheney 'Quagmire' Video "Collins shared with us a funny anecdote about that interview. When he showed up at Cheney's office, he said the future Veep asked, "How much time do you need -- one, two minutes?" Collins explained it was an hour-long interview. Cheney grumbled that he hadn't planned on that much time. Collins said the interview was for C-SPAN's "American Profile" series, which would give the audience a chance to learn more about Dick Cheney the man, where he comes from, how he thinks, how he lives. "You mean, touchy feely?" Cheney replied, according to Collins. "This is an opportunity to go beyond policy," Collins recalled saying. To which Cheney growled, "Well, you know I'm a policy kinda guy." And there you have it: Dick Cheney is not a touchy-feely kinda guy." Nope, he is the murder and plunder kind of guy.

POPSCheney knew in '94 war with Iraq would be a quagmire. Cheney knew in '94, war with Iraq would be a quagmire. And still he was hell-bent on going to war with Iraq. If this doesn't speak Impeachment of Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney... NOTHING DOES! -- The founding fathers had good reasons for rebelling against Britain’s King George III: “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power … (he is) abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our Governments.” That’s why our Constitution created checks and balances. -- Whereas, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney conspired with others to defraud the United States of America by intentionally misleading Congress and the public regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371; http://www.mass-impeach.org/townhall-impeachment/wendell/

POPSIf the draft comes, will the chickenhawks go? Bush knows if he starts the draft. We will have a 70s reunion. And if he doesn't start the draft. The military will not have the troops to fight by this spring. He is just one quagmire after another.
