An interesting aside made on FOX this afternoon by a retired Naval Officer....."During all these phone calls this morning.....maybe one of them reported that Iran and Syria were in fact going to attack Israel if the American Attack took place....and it scared off Obama?"

Not out of the realm of possibility is it?
I'd take anything broadcast by the communications arm of the Republican Party with a pinch of salt.

Kerry's face looks like a dressed up skull.

Probably he's been getting cross party rejections as they have seen the UK's response, either that or his mum has called him and told him to behave.

Politics aside it is hard to see so many people being slaughtered without feeling revulsion and thinking something has to be done...
Remind me what happened in Darfur again ?

Cool

In the Thai language.

O ba ma.

O Baa mah.

Which in Thai.

O - no meaning.

Baa - Crazy

Mah - Dog.

O Ba Ma = O Crazy Dog.

At least Kerry served as a swift boat captain has a sense of what this all means.

I met Assad when he was an ophthalmologist at Moorefields and was not impressed with his manner or interactions. I find it even harder to understand while somebody who is trained as a doctor can act this way. I would use the same phrase as someone from No 10 described Ed Milliband earlier in the week, to describe Assad.

Back to my economic theme. Which is the real story.

The wars in Iraq. Were a form of Keynsian pump priming to the economy.

One can go back to the Aztecs doing human sacrifice, believing it would make the crops grow.

A few mega-deaths to revive the economy.

Same principle. Scary.

Human sacrifice to make the crops grow.

The Enigma of Aztec Sacrifice

Chapter 47. Lityerses. § 3. Human Sacrifices for the Crops. Frazer, Sir James George. 1922. The Golden Bough

You evidently know nothing about Kerry.

Read up on his service in Vietnam.....and all the Purple Hearts he put hiim self in for.....and never spent a single day in Hospital and never missed a day of duty from "Wounds"....then claimed a three heart ticket out of combat!

He then fabricated accounts of War Crimes falsely accusing honorable Men of those crimes......and then to top it off....gave Aid and Comfort to the Enemy during time of War as a Naval Officer.

He is a treasonous bastard and an embarrassment to those who served in combat....real combat and served with honour completely unlike Kerry.

He is sleaze personified!

Thanks, you beat me to it !!!

I was amazed what came out when he ran for President,
the sheer number of fellow Swift boat people, not all of
them could be wrong.

And what he did re testifying made my mind boggle.

SASless,

He looks a most unpleasant character.

He reminds me of the Mexican images of skeletal death.

Without doubt he has missed his true vocation.

Vlad Dracul is in his castle, knees knocking, fearful of Kerry.

Who can rest easy in their beds tonight?

Move over Boris Karloff, Kerry has arrived.

Freddy, from Friday the 13th, will soon be chasing his welfare cheque.

Kerry the 13th has arrived !

Even now executives from Hollywood are rushing for his signature.

Kerry, the Fourth Boresman of the Apocalypse, will be at a cinema near you.

Pillows will be provided for his somnabulism."You are under my spell, don't drop your popcorn!"

Saturday morning pictures will never be the same again.

Move over Arnie. A new Terminator has arrived.

The Boreminator.

I have said in the past I would volunteer to be the Officer-In-Charge of the Firing Party that was detailed to execute John Kerry and Jane Fonda after a conviction for Treason.

When asked why I would seek such duty.....I remind folks that the OIC is required by protocol to fire one Pistol Shot into the Head of each of those shot by the firing squad.

I would not find that duty onerous.

Ah Yes, Hanoi Jane. She was a piece of work.

I remember an interview with her in some Mag and they asked
he re that photo of her sitting on the gun.

She said that when asked, she thought why not but as soon as she had
sat down on it, she realised what she had done and that it was not a
good idea.

Kerry and Hanoi Jane side by side at an anti war rally.
Also have a read of what is written.

Back to cokecan's comment - such a nutritious drink.

If you like 'bimbo' news, watch Fox or CNN.

I Write: Following the Kondratiev Long Wave economic cycle. The bottom of the depression should be 2014, or 2015.
The last depression in the 1930's, bottomed out in 1934. This was when the work on the two Cunard Queens, stopped.

During the period of the bottom of the depression, the public have no desire or appetite for war. There is no money for a war. I expect this to be reflected in Congress. With another no.

IMHO, I expect a quiet and poor period for five years, until 2019, when things start to hot up.
Around the time US is estimated to be in a position not to need to import foreign Oil if it doesn't want it.

Now if you take US out of foreign oil purchases and Russia supplying Europe then whom is going to fund the welfare programs in the Middles East so beloved of a number of nations ?

Apparently Nancy Reagan is said to be quite happy that Jane Fonda is playing her in "The Butler". With that kind of Republican endorsement, I think Ms Fonda can consider herself 'rehabilitated'.

As for threatening the Secretary of State of the United States, it may not be treason, but it is probably a felony.

Kerry, he is not from Derry,
He doesn't wear a berry,
But he drives a horse and cart,
Dresses from Walmart.

Kerry, scares the horses and the children,
Munches on potatoes,
Doesn't eat veg,
Was once married to a woman named Meg,

She left him
Because he didn't like her wooden leg,
Kerry, not from Derry,
But drives a horse and cart.

Singin: " I've got a luverly bunch of turnips!"

Farmer Giles, who doesn't live miles,
Away, found Kerry in the hay,
Wanted him to stand in a field,
The best scarecrow to wield,

The thoughts of Kerry,
Frightening the birds,
In a field, scarecrow Kerry,
Strawman, his fate is sealed

Please Mr Scarecrow,
Can we have back our country,
No more swords to yield,
A quiet life,please stay in the field?

Mr Kerry,wears a berry,
Not from Derry,
Dresses from Walmart,
But he drives a horse and cart.

Singin:"I've got a luverly bunch of turnips!"

I believe Jane Fonda was handed a note by POW's to smuggle out which could have resulted in their deaths, she gave it to the guards and they were brutally beaten, never watched anything she's done since, she should have been done for treason.

False. Just more fiction from the lunatic fringe of the American right.

Broadsword.....you know naught of US Law and it would appear your grasp of the English language fails you.

There was no threat on Kerry's life and there is no rehabilitating Jane Fonda's reputation.

Do show us where I threatened John (Who served in Vietnam as you might recall) Kerry's life!


Here is the daffy bitch sitting on the Anti-Aircraft gun mugging for the camera!





A photo of Kerry meeting in Paris with North Vietnam Government Officials while he was an Officer in the US Navy Reserve.
