"NO MORE NATION-BUILDING"

THAT was what he said during the campaign.

Today, according to "The Houston Chronicle" headline, "BUSH SAYS RADICALS WANT IRAQ FOR EMPIRE".

Which do we believe? Believe the second statement first, but not in the way he intended. Radicals really do want Iraq for Empire: our radical right regressive regency wants it for Empire.

The set of extremists installed in w-ington today are killing our economy and social infrastructure in order to grab their own--not our--Empire.

Five + Billion, five thousand million plus a month is twelve times our annual subsidy to Israel, even Egypt. One month,s death and destruction of Iraqi infrastructure would have meant life and New Orleanean infrastructure saved.

On top of it, the price means removing American food and research and health and environment benefits from the deficit budget, not to improve the negative impact, but to give away future tax income at the top IRS 3%.

Who will pay the rest so that this 3% subsidy can be fed peeled grapes?

Look in the mirror, if you are in the under $100M income bracket.

War profiteering is what Empire is about. Kill the enemy, who happens to be regular earned-income taxpayers, civilians too stupid to be gout-rich, women, children, and any opponent of corruption.

No honest vote counts in Empire. The only thing that counts is our contribution to the video game that oligarchs thumb-play with our lives.

Life is worthless in Empire. Money and what it can destroy, military force that disables entire generations, slavery to auto-indulgent systems of abuse is the Empire builder's shock and awe syndrome.

He was probably right the first time, too. No more nation-building: just simple destruction.
