Once again I have woken up ridiculously early. This morning I have agreed to play squash though so I don't have the freedom to head off for a jog. In fact I have woken up on the wring side of the bed this morning as well as the wring side of the morning. Wanted to be well rested heading down to Kilkenny but this is a bad start.
I did The Last Word on Today FM yesterday evening and I was quite excited as it was always a show I have enjoyed since the Dunphy days. It was not that great an experience though as the topic was crap and there was no time. Still I got to plug the website so I think it was worth it.
I get frustrated on the Internet sometimes. I think I really need to learn html or something because I often want to put some stuff up just to pass the time but I am limited to using this blog or the Forum. I can send sutff to the designers I know but I am talking about the spontaneouss stuff that you think about at 2 in the morning when you have finally given up waiting to see if any booby shows are going to be on Sky one. Maybe when I am in Edinburgh I will get someone to train me in Web design as there is always time to kill during the day there.
Saw Bush talking at the Military graduation about the enemy and how we will defeat them. I am not going to get into Bush bashing but I genuinely wanted to know who the enemy was. As an American citizen I am curious to know who MY enemy is as I need to know who to look out for. I remember thinking we had defeated the enemy when we got rid of Sadaam. I recall that is what he said. Now we are still getting rid of the enemy. So is this like one of the horror movies where the spirit of the killer passes from one bady to the next. I think we have a serious problem here. This spirit seems to be multiplying as well as passing. The seems to be more enemies now then there ever was. TOO MANY ENEMIES NOT ENOUGH MICS
I really just can't stand looking at the man because I do not believe one word that comes out of his mouth. I do not believe he has the interest of any American in his mind accept for those around him. I watch these graduates and I can tell they are inspired by what he is saying and I wander how I could be so different to my fellow countrymen. I know they would think that I was weak or naive or a bleeding heart liberal. Well I would turn to them and say that I am none of those things you fucking robots. My heart is on fire and as a result it burns inside of me and the more I listen to George Bush the more it burns because he is killing people every day in the name of my protection. I feel less safe though then I ever did. I am hated when travelling the world and have to answer for his power intoxicated sins every day even though I hate the man. And you are going to kill for him in the name of making America safe. What makes me laugh most of all is that the world could not be any less safer than it was when he took office. Republicans will blame the democrats and 9/11 but its been over 3 years now and it just gets worse and worse.
I don't know why every one compares Iraq to Vietnam. The republicans pride themselves on showing all the military blunders of the clinton era. Lets just compare it to Somalia. City battles where Americans are dying every day it really does not look llke they are any better at this war thing. I can't remember in History when there was so much war after the war was over other than Civil wars. They always go on about the theatre of war so maybe this is just an encore as all the ceos of the Defence companies could not stop applauding. I would say all the Islamic Fundamentalists could not stop applauding either it seems to me they are loving it. Ordinary Europeans have nearly got fundamentalists views about America these days as a result of whats going on. I don't know if that is a good result of military action. They are not the military geniuses they thought they were really. I want to see Donald go out and fight and talk all his war talk on the Battlefield. Then I will believe in what they say when they fill up young niave teenagers with their rhetoric.
My message to my fellow Americans BUSH DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU. No politician does.

Goldie fish here
Very interesteing to see what you say there(given my own interests-see soapbox)
I have a friend who is currently driving a tank around iraq. He was in the FCA here,when he moved stateside,having dual citizenship he thought the natural thing to do was join the California national guard...all was going well,and we got quickly bored of his jingoism and "the US army is the greatest" attitude..
However all changed when he was posted to Iraq and he realised about bush that "This man wants to kill me".
His enthusaism is gone as he now spends his days trying to avoid being shot at,with no end in sight,and a command structure that is at best incompetent. he was not even sure he would have a tank to drive in until he got there...
The incompetence he has witnessed among the people who are "managing" this "war" is frightening. His Blog is on a site viewed my other US soldiers,and all of them feel the same. Sadly they are conditioned to follow orders..even though the "I was following orders" defence didnt work in the past either..
