Well, duh! They've gotta pay for this war somehow. Oh, wait - oil money wouldn't be going to our governement, would it? It would be going to all the corporations that have been given the "reconstruction" contracts. You know, because it would be wrong for US to profit from the war.

The one thing I hate about being a thinking person in this time period is the fact that I know I can't trust anyone or anything implicitly. The media is the parrot of the politics, and the politics are corrupt. What I don't understand is how it is that Bush got elected in the first place, what with all the shitstorms surrounding him, since day one in office. Did it seem this bad to you guys when Clinton was elected?

Maybe it was more of the fact that whoever's playing the government needed someone to take the stick that they could more easily blind, or mire in bad press. I wonder, because all I hear these days is Bush this and Bush that, and I can't recall ever hearing quite so much about Slick Willy, except the times where his skeletons fell out of the closet door.

Maybe it is oil being stolen from Iraq, but I recall hearing from somewhere that we get most of oil form other countries anyway. Maybe it's WMDs being planted, or worse, REMOVED, for fun later on down the line. Maybe it's a landing strip for gay aliens.

There's not enough info to be read into it, but I know that if it was important, no one would be talking about it, or there would be some sort of explanation given. There are no press leaks, so anything in a paper or on the web that contains any facts, is approved by our beloved Uncle with the red white and blue hat.

You feelin any better yet, freekee?

Not much better yet, thanks.

I don't think Clinton ever got this bad press. And that's saying a lot because the Republicans control the press like no one else.

I don't know how Bush got elected. I don't even know how he beat McCain in the primaries. All I've got to say is two things: Too many Bushes in Florida, where it all came down to in the end (and I'm not talking about the bad ballots), and that given what all those people in power are doing, and the time-frame they've got, they must've been working extremely hard to get their figurehead in office.

"republicans control the press"??????? you must really be sick.. CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post..all very much home to liberals...and don't tell me Fox and Fox News...they aren't conservative.. all they do is allow conservatives to actually get on the air..in the last 3 presidental elections, well over 90% of journalists who claim to be "independent" voted democratic..read a book called "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg..

First of all, if you comment here again, sign a name.

I wasn't talking about the so-called bias. I was talking about the information that Washington allows the press to hear. The Dems love it when the press shows up, and they spill their guts. The 'Pubs are very stingy about what they allow the press to hear.

There is no organized liberal media. The conservative media, on the other hand, is well organized and purposeful in what they choose to say.
