I really don't give a damn if you ever respond to anything I post here again. I honestly don't. I have never suffered fools gladly, and frankly, I'm sick to death of Bush apologists.

Friends of mine are dying over in Afghanistan and Iraq right now. Real flesh-and-blood people. This is not some vague, meaningless rhetorical debate to me any more. It's gone way beyond that. It's an honest-to-God life and death issue for many people I genuinely care about. Friends.

The facts on Bush and his personal vendetta with Saddam are perfectly clear to anybody with open eyes and an open mind. The man is a chronic fucking liar, a pathological liar, and pretty much the entire world knows it by this point in time. I wish it were otherwise. I wish that with all my heart, because then we could all rightly say that none of the casualties over in Iraq died for absolutely nothing. Unfortunately that is not the case, and as a former professional soldier that really, really frosts my ass big-time. I refuse to mince words in a "sociable" or "politically correct" manner on this topic anymore. Out of respect and concern for those soldiers who are still placing their lives on the line over there for our resident madman in the White House I simply can't. If that offends you then tough shit. So be it.

I hate Bush for the brainless, arrogant coward that he is. And I hate those that continue to support his bullshit. They all deserve (and need) a good, solid crack over the head with a baseball bat, in my opinion. People are dying over this senseless, pointless, totally fabricated bullshit of his right now. People that I care about -- far more than I care about you or Bush and his brainless little sycophants.
