We WORKED OUR ASSES OFF to elect Democrats who would put an stop to the Iraq occupation. What did we get: CAPITULATION to the chimperator!!! They are giving him BILLIONS MORE for more war! Time to vote with your BLOOD! This is war, after all. The "Red Cross" pretends that your donated blood will go to some sweet grandma, or maybe you, in some hospital. IT WILL NOT! It will go to keep some poor trooper alive in Iraq who never should have been there to begin with (so saith the Geneva Conventions, and the ELECTED Iraqi Government). If they keep some soldier alive with your blood, they will only send him or her back to be finished off anyway!!!

Now is the time to vote with your BLOOD, since you were already denied any chance to vote in a booth in any meaningful way anyway. STOP DONATING BLOOD!!! This is war. People are going to suffer. Maybe some of us need to suffer too!

George W. Bush has NO interest in vetoing a $124 BILLION giveaway to Exxon!!! Just look at the fine print in these bills!!! $124 BILLION to Exxon!!! 124 BILLION pints of American BLOOD to Exxon!!!

'Operation Iraqi Liberation'!!! (O.I.L.) -- Search for it in:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/ 2003/03/20030324-4.html

If Congress simply passes a $0.00 'Supplemental', the Pentagon will promptly ask for money to get the troops out. Our plans to 'permit' Exxon, et al. to rape Iraq's oil will face opposition from FOUR MILLION ARABS, PERSIANS, and KURDS!!! (Not to mention Russia, China, India, and Iran.)

A draft is coming, and everyone who has less than a million dollars in Swiss Franks will have their children 18 to 45 drafted and destroyed. -- So we can continue to hot-rod around fixing out perverted speed addiction.

On Dec 04, Chris Bowers wrote a post, "The Two Obamas and Me, Part One" which contrasted the principle-driven Obama who first inspired tremendous netroots support with the compromise-driven Obama who now seems intent on demonizing the very people who helped get him his start.  One example Chris cited of the second Obama was this:

In town-hall meetings, when those who opposed the war get shrill, Obama makes a point of noting that while he, too, opposed the war, he's "not one of those people who cynically believes Bush went in only for the oil."

Chis followed up:

Did anyone with any power every say that? Did any leading Democrats ever say that? Did any progressive or liberal of any public stature ever say that? If they did, I'd love to see the quote.

Well, now it appears that someone has come quite close to saying that: The Baker/Hamilton Iraq Study Group (ISG).  Privatizing Iraq's oil is one of their fundamental recommendations--regardless of what the Iraqis want.  Democracy--well, that was always an afterthought.
