Understood.
Sadly, I have been working on Proving God and have run into some stumbling blocks. It’s turned out to be more difficult than I expected, considering the ease with which the proof has offered itself to others.
If all goes well, I should finish up within a couple weeks.

I heard about it on talk radio, the morning after the first episode…so I had to search to find it scheduled so I could record both. I’m planning on watching both episodes on Sunday.

Two guys I work with came over to my office to tell me not to miss it, too.

People are talking about it everywhere. Frontline does fabulous stuff.

I taped it. I’ve seen an abbreviated version. It’s an extremely unpleasant thing to watch.
How to keep BushCheney from invading Iran with our hardworking but depleted forces? Sit back and hope for the best?

After watching the PBS documentary on Frontline the last two evenings, Bush’s War, I admit there is a lot to learn from this sorry episode in our nation’s history, and I have been following this story with all of its twists and turns very closely. What was new to me, according to the documentary, was that after the Twin Towers fell, the CIA had a game plan ready for Afghanistan and al-Queda, the Pentagon did not. Watching how Cheny, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and the Neocons rolled the rest of us like a bunch of drunken Butte Irishmen on a Saturday night was riveting. For two nights I sat transfixed and I could only ask the rhetorical question, why is bin Laden still sucking air on this earth? Ed is spot on with his musings about the House of Saud but that doesnt hold water with me. Someone has to answer for the 3,000 souls lost on 9/11 and that answer is not going to be found in Iraq, regardless of what Cheney says.

Now Cheney actually has the temerity to tell us that Iran is a nuclear threat, (Niger yellow cake anyone?) we’ve been down that road before - how did that turn out for you? My mother called to tell me that she had ordered a copy of the documentary and was sending it to me, I plan on watching it again and again and sharing it with friends and family.

It’s fascinating to me that someone, who’s never been to Iraq, would question a military soldier’s take on the war that he fought and risked his life for - a soldier that had been in Iraq.

The arrogance. The ignorance.

Even worse, I’ll bet my next paycheck that Casey Denney claims to support the troops.

**4/6 gee, I found out there’s a spam cache! —ed**
On Saudis leaving the United States (a Sourcewatch compendium) — It looks like the plane with 13 bin Ladens left after commercial air traffic had resumed. 142 Saudis were allowed to leave the country by plane before commercial air traffic resumed on Sept. 14.

Here’s one take on US troops leaving Saudi Arabia. The timing was auspicious, about one month into the invasion of Iraq (no intention of leaving any bases there), as was the timing of the bases’ initial installation in Iraq, just after Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991. But it’s pretty easy to make sure Saudi Arabia is cool from our new bases in Iraq and elsewhere over there.

If you’re wondering about where Bin Laden (and his Cheney) came from, you can’t do better than Lawrence Wright.

And, oh heck, just because I can’t resist, here’s another Lawrence Wright article about the international terrorism’s theorists. If only the people supposedly directing the fight against these jokers would bother to understand the enemy, we might avoid doing just what they want.

Bowdlerized - great word. Lousy procedure.
I appreciate your comments. I kind of expected more of a response. Probably people figure there’s nothing they can do about it, so they don’t want to even think about it.

I’m thinking he substituted “hell” for “shit” - and I was referring to a local bureaucrat that used the word in an newspaper interview recently…apparently only to my dismay.

But yeah - good for Ed for speaking up. It’s important for it to be talked about - out loud and in public places.
