Object Under Bush Jacket Identified: 'It's a Spine'
(2004-10-11) -- A forensic scientist studying photographic evidence has identified an object which caused a bump on the back of a suit jacket worn by President George Bush during his first debate with John Forbes Kerry.

"It's a spine," said the unnamed scientist. "The president's backbone, in a sense, was showing during his debate with Mr. Kerry."

Similar images of Mr. Kerry showed "no comparable spinal features."

When asked about the new evidence, Mr. Kerry said, "I had a spine when I defended this country as a young man, and I will have one again when I defend her as president of the United States."

There you have it folks! News as it happens.

Roflol! :d

1. Had Afghanistan offered Bin Laden in return for proof that he was responsible for attacks, extraditing him freely for trial by the US. Would you still be for the war in Afghanistan?

2. Had Saddam Hussein offered complete withdraw from Kuwait in return for the UN to review the Arab-Israeli conflict, would you have been for the first Gulf War?

*If you answered "yes" to either of these, you are lying. There was no movement for war in Afghanistan prior to Sept. 11, there was no movement for war in Iraq prior to Kuwait invasion nor after until the United States declared it wrong. There was no push for an Iraqi war the second time until Bush said they were a threat. People bought the government propaganda in both cases and hopped on the bandwagon preaching songs of war. So why do you follow them now?
Both alternatives offered above seem like plausible and possible alternatives that should be considered right? Yah, but they never happened.
OR DID THEY?:

They were both alternatives to the war that the government and the media failed to report. Would the Taliban or Saddam have kept their word? We don't know because the United States refused to listen or try to deal, and instead rushed to war.


We allowed the Northern Alliance to regain control of Afghanistan. Here is a group of opium warlords who devastated that country through public rapings, assassinations, and civil war; violating every civil right known to man. They devastated that country for 20 years. And now the US allows them to regain control?

We now know Saddam had no WMD's nor was wanting any. What's that you say? He had intentions? I'm sorry to point this out, but he also had 3 billion dollars in American cash lying around his palaces. Anybody in the world could get an arsenal of WMD's for 50 million dollars. He didn't have them because he didn't need them, the UN was going to prevent any country from Iraqi invasion. Well, except for the US.



So he wasn't a threat. But he abused his people right? Another government assertion that you eat up. Unfortunately, there are civil rights abuses in Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Somalia, Tujikistan, Rwanda, and our own allies Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Indonesia, Afghanistan (now), and ourselves. Are you for invading all of them too, and re-invading Afghanistan?

So what justification was there then, Mr. Knowitall Voyuerism?
Let me spell it out for you: O-I-L and the ease of getting it. Iraq was an easy target that appeared to possess little resistance (at the time) of the bunch of countries that I mentioned. The US thought they could get away with such an invasion. However, the world saw through that. Now the world hates us, we have no allies but Britain and Australia (we will lose Britain in May, just watch). Poland has already said they will remove their troops next year, who is the only other country that supports our movement AND has troops deployed.

So where does this leave us?
Up shit creek if we don't get rid of Bush.....
I'm not endorsing Kerry, I hate him too. But at this point, we need to demonstrate to the world that we don't agree with what we did either, so Bush HAS to go. If he stays, it will be a statement to the world that the US supports this crap.
So please, just don't vote for Bush.

Is spamming against the forum rules?

(snipped a whole bunch of stuff)
WTF?
Just what did any of that have to do with the thread?

Or did the other thread that was clipped from not get enough attention you thought you would hijack this one?

2. Had Saddam Hussein offered complete withdraw from Kuwait in return for the UN to review the Arab-Israeli conflict, would you have been for the first Gulf War?

Hrm.... so you are saying that invading a country to gain political leverage (which is what that would have allowed Saddam to do) is okay? WEll... I'm all for that :p

Anyway to get BACK to the original thread:
Hahahahahahaha... sooooo true

A spine? Must have been one of those prosthetic things, because Bush certainly hasn't had one of his own for the last four years.

this wouldve been alot funnier without the partisan crap

<snip>


Did you just offer a rebuttal to satire????

Hrm.... so you are saying that invading a country to gain political leverage (which is what that would have allowed Saddam to do) is okay? WEll... I'm all for that :p

Anyway to get BACK to the original thread:
Hahahahahahaha... sooooo true

Um, isn't that what we're doing in Iraq now? I mean, we're liberating a country in order to create a free ally, hoping to influence the entire region, according to Bush rationalization for war, version 3.1.

Hahahahaha. That's very funny. I would never have known Buch actually had a spine. Puppets are usually just stuffed shirts.
Ya know, I've never seen a spine with vertebrae that stick out of one's back in such a rectangular fashion. But I'm no doctor, so what do I know?

oh for god's sake thats not a spine, its dick cheney's hand

oh for god's sake thats not a spine, its dick cheney's handToo square to be a hand (or a spine for that matter), but a remote control device? Hmmm. That's like a hand. :D

It's a panel you put a windup key in. Wind him up and watch him spin.
