maybe this time
peace treaty (the last of many) finally signed
(well actually its an agreement to sign a peacetreaty by late dec)
between the sudan and the southern rebels
six preliminary treaties signed, integrating military
dividing oil revenues, etc
i read that john garang, leader of the south,
is to be a vice president in khartoum
this i assume is a good thing, power sharing
and all that, hopefully it will make a difference
not only in how sudan conducts itself w/the south
but w/darfur too
i guess im just a cynic cause i dont really expect it to
and not at all comfortable with garang being under the thumb of the
killers like that but i assume he knows what hes doing
i will keep an eye out for him
god and big brother bush
am i the only one nervous about
bushs moves over at the cia
his boy goss has gone in there and
begun cleaning house, getting rid
of the operatives they judge not to be
'loyal'
this at the sametime that he put his
girl condi in charge of state
another branch of government that
he felt impeded his iraqi adventure
this is problematic on a lot of levels
one taking control of the intelligence agencies,
they already have the executive branch,
congress and the judicial branch -
for all practical purposes they got media too -
they want it all
why - whats on their little evil minds
and two, the reason they are upset w/the cia
in the firstplace is because the cia insisted on a
reasonable reading of the iraqi evidence -
what do they have planned now
apparently colin offered to stay under x given
conditions - engagement w/iran and korea,
pressure on sharon, working w/un & allies
etc etc, but bush said see ya and
put his best flunky is there
they forced a little honor on colin
and made him go, kicking and screaming
any real honor and he would have been gone
things just as dicey on the domestic front
bush is talking about changing the tax
structure to protect investment income
says he wont raise taxes to do it but he has proposed
abandoning tax writeoffs for local and state taxes
(that means a tax increase dont it?)
and abandoning tax writeoff for employers providing
emmployee health insurance
(that means more folk w/o health insurance dont it?)
and in iraq we got a spreading insugency
and american soliders killing wounded prisoners
ive said it before and i will say it again
this is not a just war and god is not on our side
there are some democratic voices saying we should
try to outbush bush and get religion
well i got news for them
i got religion
and my god does not approve of warmongers
or abusing the weak and the needy
amen
