Did the get a second resolution

I cant remember. Because but if not, you can be sure The Iraq War was wrong. It totally needs a second resolution and they did'nt get one yet(pretty sure)

THe Antiquities

Someone reminded me of the Antiquities. HOw there was antiquities but then the The Iraq War. Made them all mess up or whatever. (Because of the I probably already metnioend that before as a reason The Iraq War was wrong but just in case I hadn't, I did'nt want there not to be a blog post were I'm talking about Antiquities. Because serously folk's. That's just not right. YOu know what I'm saying. How is everthing else going BWT. Let know in comment's

Fallujhah

Also you could talk about Fallujah BWT. To show how it was wrong(The IRaq War). Because of something about Fallujah. Ca'nt remember exactly what it was but there was totally something re: Fallujah. You could check on a web search for example try "+fallujah iraq war wrong" The other one (HT to someone in comnents forget who) is Betrayus. That's was a General who Betrayed us. I froget how/why he betrayed us but, it was something like, instead ofsaying there should be 200000 Troop's in Iraq he said there should be 250000 Troop's in Iraq so he Betrayus us'ed. (Something like that). And now he's got in a Sex scandal(same guy I think) so you could use that. It's would be Topical. Three's lots of ways. To show The IRaq War was wrong. I"m am gonna use these as Discussion aides in my classroom(I'm a Teacher now for eliminatery school It's AWSOME there is nothing like shaping some Kid's. Minds

Oh Linsay No

Wehn you wake up to see a This story Lindsay Lohan endorses Mitt Romneysorry but WAHT I SGOING ON!!! in the world. It make's you think. Is this can be for real because I'm guess not. LINSAY!! Teh world needs you to clarefy NOW. This is not a game this is RELL LIFE. I bet could she get her publicast to doa Correction. Probaly the NYPost (dhinger's) miss quoted. I do'nt want ot have to get the Lohanim involved BUT I WILL

Second Resolution

I still think they need a second Resoluntion. Did the get one NO that's what. Do you hear me dhinger's.

If you don't think the The IRaq War was wrong? Answer comment's. Because no offense but, what is wrong with you?

It's 2012.

Dissent

Also don't forget Ward Chuchill. (Chickens born to roost ect). It seem's like Or maybe did the succed to squish his dissent. Because you don't hear alot about WArd Churchill anymore.

Back To Basics (Wrong)

Can we like start over here? Because I'm was just perusing a couple of old post's. And I'm not sure that it does'nt seem like some of you (the readership's) aren't getting the right point on how, The Iraq War wasn't right (i.e. wrong).

So lets go back. Background. In 2003 the U.S. did a Iraq War. It was done on a country call Iraq. Thats who we did the war on (FYI). So that's hte context here.

Now. When you do a war on someone it can be Right or Wrong. Thats how wars work. Spanish Civil War: Right. Vietnam War: Wrong. En cetera.

The next observation is that when you did a war. You have to spend the next period of time (years or whatever) talking about whether it was Right or Wrong. You can't just not do that can you. Absurd. If it was Wrong you have to keep talking about it (later). Until everone also says it was Wrong. There can't be a person

So what I did here is to create a blog space where, we I could blog about that for The Iraq War (2003/Iraq). Until you all say it was wrong. For awhile I thought I was done. But I look back now and, waht a dalusion. Because The Iraq War still happened (in 2003). And yet I'm not sure you all say it was Wrong? (Answer in comment's)

That's the deal ok. So, sorry for confusion on this. But maybe my fault. So lets take a step back and go slower/more carefullly:

The Iraq War was wrong. I really really think it was wrong. What about you?

Brink

Remember, Iraq is on the Brink of a civil war.

Qadday's Death

The main thing Qaddafy's death drives home. Is that The Iraq War was wrong. It really makes you sit back and think, about how wrong The Iraq War was.

In other news, now that Obama has announce that there's going to be no more troop's in Iraq. (In the future). I think that's will be a perfect opportunity to start to roll up are sleeves and, talk FOR REAL about how The Iraq War was wrong. (A nationaled conversation) We haven't really been able to get into it (DIG DEEP) on account of being destracted by there being troop's in Iraq. When there's not. That's when the debate starts for real. I'm assembling some notes on it already for when that time comes.

Also when are we going to sign The Kyoto Protocol. Did we do it and I missed it or. Howcome noone's focus on the Kyoto Protocol (it is a very important thing to my life). Just wondering thx.

Saddam Was Secular

And that's a enough of a reason right there. For The Iraq War to be was wrong. Taht Saddam was secular (not religious). I mean he was hell of secular where do you even get off saying he wasn't. So then (connect the dots) The Iraq War was wrong. I mean do I have to lay it out for you.

9/11 Rememeberance

9/11 was a day that made there be a Iraq War (later). Therefore, I conclude that it was wrong. There shouldn't of been a The Iraq War (is the main thing).

The Iraq War was wrong.

General Petraeus Why?

Or as I, like to call him General BETRAY-Us.

I'm don't rememeber why at the moment but I was RELLY cheesed at him. It had to do with how The Iraq War was wrong (that was part of it).

The real question I want to know is, WHY did he betray us? What a jerk.

A Humble Note About How, The Iraq War Was Wrong

You know why I was crying all most of lasted night. Because of the museum. Howcomes noone rememeber's about the museum? So many thing's in there I bet. King Tut. Other mummie's. Rosetta Stones. THe Ark. The Mona Lisa. Jackson Pollack's. All these things and more, I could imagine was in the Bagdad Museum. (*Not sure exact contents)

All gone now. Gone, with the wind. Like tears, in rain. Lotted becuase of BUSH. And did we he they even do anything about it NO.

Listen. This is the cost of The Iraq War. It is something we still have to live with in are, everyday walk-in/walk-about lifes. I'm not sure how but we have, to. But we wouldn't of have to if was just didn't of done The Iraq War. This is what I'm am saying. (<--The Iraq War was wrong.

Tell it at the streets. Scream it from the stovetops. Shout it out round. The Iraq War was wrong.

Folk's, it is August of 2011 as I write this. Here is a blogpost from May 2004 which I'm saying the, exact same thing. So I've have been VERY consitent on this. Have I ever wavered no. That's how you can know. The point I am making. THis isn't a flash in a pan here. This is a blog about how The Iraq War was wrong.

Together, we are going to make it wrong (with blogging). The Iraq War that we did in 2003. There is NOTHING more improtant to are future, our future's children's, or our future's futures chidlrens to, keep on saying that The Iraq War was wrong and not stop saying it until it IS was.

We felted VERY strongly about this back in circa 2003 and 2004. And, we still fell the EXACT same strongly right now, today, here in now time (2012 approximatley) with under President Obama. Which is why we don't stop saying it just as often as we were back in teh day. Saying what? The Iraq War was wrong silly.

So let's keep. Thank's for your, time.

I'm Am Not Witheld

Ok fine thank's to Ace site for the link. But, a one thing I'm want to remind you of (commentrers)? Is that I not Witheld and was NEVER was Witheld. Witheld could totallaly back me up on this.

Dhingers. What can you do.

Lohanim Meeting Tonite 9:30pm

Usual place. Twitter me if you can't make it so I know you won't be coming thank's.

Kick Libya's Ass!

That's all I got to say.

Sometime's, Make No Sense

I was reading in a the Weekly in the coffee shop (the one that is free - it's weekly well actually daily) how the dhingers won a the midterms. Um people. Hello?

I'm can't believe having to explain thIS AGAIN:

THE IRAQ WAR WAS WRONG.

Did everone just forget The Iraq War was wrong. Or. Did everone just say to themselfs even though The Iraq War was wrong I'm am going to go and vote for this dhinger anyway (even though The Iraq War was wrong). Of 2003

To not to belabor the point - if the The Iraq War was wrong. But than you go and vote for a the dhinger? Um lol do I really have to explain the hole in that. It's almost funny it's so sad.

The only saving grace is how we FINALLY got heathcare. I have complained to my doctor SO MANY TIME'S over the years (both on scheduled visits and just times when I felt some twinge and decided to just do a drop in) about how there's no heathcare in this country well WE FINALLALY DID IT PEOPLE. So that's a thing of which, we can all (as progressives). Something we could of never hoped for when we were doing The Iraq War (and still hadn't made proved it was wrong)

If I was teaching Social Studies (if I was a teacher- which I could of been (long story) I would finish with a unit on Heathcare. I bet its is going to be in next years's addition actually that would be a site to behold. You could frame/brownze it next to the newspaper you kepts from the day after when a the Barack Obama was elected the first President. (A black man).

So how's everthing else going though you guys. What's up with you. Me, same old. You know how it is. New Harry Potter am I going to be first in line YOU BET YOU I AM. Expellanius! (Heh don't be scare thats just my favorite spell) I'm just playin with you. Ok well I'm out but that's was a good one I think. Not the best but right up there (I'm still got it).

The Main Reasons

Let's for those newcomers to this my our blog let's here's a quick refresher on some of the main reasons why The Iraq War Was Wrong. (Sorry this will be repetive for regular readership's)

Not meant to be a complete list (I'm sure I'm leaving out a few dozens). In no particular order:

• Joe Wilson checked it out, and the names were wrong and the dates were wrong.
  
• France didn't want it to occur.
  
• France, which is our ally, didn't ally with us in doing it. (Which, how is that even is possible.)
  
• The Baghdad museum was looted after it happened.
  
• Bush "cut and run". (Remember?) Which is bad.
  
• Because there was a Surge (i.e. the number of troops stationed there went from something like 120k to something like 140k). Which is bad.
  
• There wasn't a second UN resolution after the first one (just the first one). Needed two.
  
• "Shock and awe" is a horrible term and an evil approach to doing things. (Also, Iraqis weren't actually shocked or awed, which is bad.)
  
• Hussein was a Sunni and everyone knows Sunnis can't physically cooperate/do anything with Shiites.
  
• The Neocons wanted it to occur before it happened (PNAC had that website).
  
• CIA agents were nearby when the statue came down.
  
• There was a British journalist (forget his name) who killed himself.
  
• They shot at journalists in a hotel.
  
• Because of Manicheanism.
  
• Deep-cover agent Valerie Plame's cover was exposed, which hurts us all (but also her).
  
• There was a Rush To War.
  
• The US was just going to plant WMDs anyway.
  
• Bush only did it to please his father.
  
• Tony Blair was Bush's poodle/lapdog.
  
• It made The World hate us (i.e. France, Germany, Belgium).
  
• Murtha was known as quote "a hawk" and he was not in favor of it (later).
  
• On account of the blood and treasure (esp. the treasure).
  
• It distracted us from fighting the real war on terror, which by statute is located in Afghanistan.
  
• It played right into Osama's hands (exactly what he wanted).
  
• It played right into Iran's hands (exactly what they wanted).
  
• We didn't have a full, complete, foolproof plan for reconstructing the country into a social-democratic constitutional republic.
  
• The purple fingers are such a joke and the election was not legitimate.
  
• There was violence in Iraq after it happened (i.e. it didn't make there be no violence in Iraq).
  
• Because Iraq had no WMDs (how can you attack a country that has no WMDs).
  
• Because if we invaded there was a danger Iraq would use WMDs on our troops.
  
• Because of the plastic turkey.
  
• It just created more terrorists (just look at all the terrorists that have been created).
  
• It didn't make us safer. We are totally less safe now (just look at how unsafe we now are).
  
• It was a war Of Choice.
  
• We only did it for Israel, at Israel's beckoning. To make Israel safe (just look at how safe Israel now is, they are sitting pretty).
  
• Bush told reporters to "now watch this drive".
  
• Bush rushed the vote for the war powers resolution.
  
• Because of Catholic "Just War" Theory. It totally went against Catholic "Just War" Theory.
  
• Because it's bad to be theocratic.
  
• We only did it to steal their oil (just look at all the oil we now got from them for free).
  
• We only did it to gain a foothold from which to attack Iran (just look at how much we've totally attacked Iran from it).
  
• Bush only did it because he's a Bible-thumper and wanted to bring about Armageddon.
  
• A former CIA director admitted Iraq war was "wrong".
  
• They totally cherry-picked.
  
• Iraq's government can't be legitimate without Sunnis.
  
• It's bad that Ba'athists haven't been purged from Iraq's government.
  
• On account of how Bush is mendacious.
  
• Everyone knows Iraq should be split into three.
  
• Iraq is on the Brink of a civil war.
  

Six Years Is A Long Time To Be Wrong

As many of you know, it was six years ago today tomorrow it was taht I first posted my first hestoric blog post stating forcefully that The Iraq War Was Wrong. History will record that day as the one when (after some prior false starts) I first began to FIGHT BACK in blog form against not saying The Iraq War Was wrong. And to this day, I still maintain that that blog post was among some of the very greatest blog posts I every posted.

Well that was 2004 so many things was different then. I'm trying to think of some I'm sure there was alot. Like there was no Iphones (for starters). And in that time, ALOT of stuffs has happen. People went into high school and then came back out. Some people probaly started and finished there Master's or even PHD's programs while during I've been blogging this blog. But one thing is not different (in 2010 which is now): that The Iraq War Was Wrong.

That's why there's this blog and there's will alway's be this blog. Because The Iraq War Was Wrong. It will never not be was. That's the tragedy of it most of all.

Howcome Were Not Having A National Conservation About How The Iraq War Was Wrong (Anymore)

Is it not was wrong anymore? B/c I totally still think it was wrong. Surely it didn't become NOT was wrong somehow.

We need to talk about this like ALOT more than we actually are. If your not talking about it, like right now (at LEAST 3-6x per day), whats wrong with you? You suck thats what. Serously. You. Suck.

Sorry guy's just alittle emotional for me. The Iraq War - was a war that we did in 2003. And yet its only 2010 and were' not national conversationing about it even like 30% as much as we use to. You could probably turn on 20/20 or Dateline or 60 Minutes and (occasionally) see at least 2-3 WHOLE WEEKS of show's that go by without a SINGLE story on how The Iraq War was wrong. Movies about how The Iraq War was wrong? Don't even get me strated, there use to be like 10+ per year released that were explicitly about Iraq, and 40-90 more that were only about Iraq metaphorically. Now there's a virtual dearth. Ok sure there is Avatar but after that?

And where are our rock bands, the last bastions of turth to power, on this nowadays? AOL.

Personally I wonder if the Corporations have been squishing the conversation about The Iraq War. (Because they totally support rapping that country of its national resources for the "so" called "bottom line" probaly). Does Congress need to get involve? Because I donnow what else to do. It's exasperating me.

Healthcare Reform Was Right

And this is a post about that subject. I really really think it was right! What about you?

P.S. Also The Iraq War was wrong BWT

But Now It's Heathcare

Sometime's readersips get up in my face all desappointed b/c I don't talk about how The Iraq War was wrong 100% of the time (more like 70-80%). Like when I'm talking about heatchare.

Well I'm sorry. But look, what you need to understand. Is that The Iraq War being wrong was the most improtant issue in the history of humankind from approx. 2003-2008. It totally was. And this blog reflected that. Yes.

So why then? Well again. Like I said, and I'll say it again for epmashes, up until circa 2008 (near the end of that year), the Iraq War being wrong was the MOST IMPROTANT ISSUE ever in the history of humankind (ever).

But now it's heathcare.

UPDATE (3/4): But also The Iraq War (too). was wrong.

The Results Are In: The Stimulus Made There Be ALOT Of Jobs (In The Future)

WHycome we know the stimulus worked you ask. Well we know on account of ANAYALSIS from STUDIE"S you jacass. STudie's from SMART people like Yggie

Which is how without further adieu here's a good blog post were Yggie show's a GRAPH (yes thats right dhingers ever try using graphs?).

Basically, it's a graph of how many jobs the Stimulus made in the future:



So you see, thats the answer to the question Did the Stimulus make jobs. Answer yes- in the future. Case closed. Tahts basically all the argument you need against someone who questions whether the Stimulus made jobs. It totally did (just look at that graph).

Where did Yggie get this he got it from Macroeconomic Advisor's. Thats how you know its solid right there. At first I was like skeptical. But then when I heard it was from Macroneconomic Advisors. Well I mean how can you argue with that. (Are you a Macroeconomic Advisor? Thought not). Furthermore, as Yggie points out, "all private sector forecasters" agree with it. ALL of them. Take the set of all Private Sector Forecasters. (i.e. People with the job title Private Sector Forecaster). ALL of the members of that set agree with the above graph, as far as Yggie can tell. Now thats what I call a impressive number/finding.

But Reputzi's(stupid/Palin) squint there eyes the don't understand the graph. To hard I guess. Ya I suppose if i was form like Alaska or Kansas me too would be it's hard to understand. So let me go over it slowly for the leiperson.

First, what Macroeconomic Advisors did (using study's/analysises/data/formula's) is, they figured out the baseline number of jobs that's going to exist in the future. That's, like, if there wasn't of been a Stimulus. How many jobs would there of been (in the future). So thats a basic starting point. Now this is a hypothetical concept because its counterfactual. So you can to calcalate it. But so that's what they did first, is calculated that number basicelly. Just the baseline.

Second (step 2), once they got hte baseline (which was probalby the easy part) is then they just calculated how many jobs there's really going to be in the future. Like in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 and so on. They got that number (from calculations.). With data.

Then they substracted them together and put it in a graph. That's basically a nutshell how they did it. Meaning that the Stimulus made those extra jobs (in the future). It's right there in the graph. Like if you want to know how many jobs the Stimulus made in 2011? You find 2011 on the x-axis. Then you take you're straightedge and perpendicularly aligned it with 2011 and find were it crosses the graph. Mark that with your felt tip. Then look across to the y-axis. That's how you can figure out how many jobs the Stimulus made in 2011. I get something above 2.4 millions which is a IMPRESSIVE NUMBER INDEED of jobs to have made. In the future.

See dhingers this is waht science is totallaly like. Maybe you should try it sometime guess not oh well have fun with yr tea bag's RFLO.

UPDATE: But its solemnly humbling when you thing about it. Just think. Because of the Stimulus, as we speak there's nearly 2.6 millions peoples who now can fell secure that they will have jobs that they weren't going to have without the Stimulus. (In around 2011-2012). Those people can sleep easy at night and have the Stimulus to thank. Because of teh graph.

In the Bush's shadow

It's something I knew about all along. We all did. And somehow, I filtered it out:
We are standing in Bush's shadow.
A chill crept up the back of my head. I thought about it again today. The dark shadow. And again, the chill. It gives me chills just thinking about it (the chills).

Bush's dark legacy is very much with us. He and Guantanamo and global warming and afghanistan and the economy and Iraq and abu-ghraib with its poor, masturbating inmates.
Clearly, it'll take at least two or three generations (possibly centuries) to fully step away from Bush's long, dark shadow.
It's like having some massive overdraft. Needing to take out a mortgage on everything you own and then paying it back bit by bit, passing the remaining debt to your children, your grand-children and so on. As Mark Steyn (or: Mark "indicted but never convicted" Steyn) points out, we don't have lots of kids anyway. It's not as though a great many will suffer.

Obama inherited a towering 'debt' (economic, moral) and he has to mortgage America (which is his, so to speak, his=our America), paying back the debt with interest, passing it along to our kids, great-grand-children. Not his debt. Bush's.
Thanks to Obama the economy is thriving, the stimulus created 3.5 million jobs (some people still have no job but then again, some have two!) and global warming is apparently already retreating (out of fear, probably, in anticipation) but if you meet some dhinger (for example: Mark Steyn ("it's not islamophobia if they're really out to get you") or his inarticulate and litigatious side-kick, one Ezra "I got away with it so sue me" Le-Vant) who says things (international relations / the economy / whatever) should be better (a tautological form of reasoning), first remind him of Bush's legacy.

Like humpty-dumpty (America), all the King's (Obama's) horses and men might not be able to put it together again exactly the way it used to be. I mean an arm might go where the leg should (and v.v), the cracks will show, etc.

That doesn't mean we should give up and stomp on its head (voting Republican or endorsing pollution-based mutants like Palin). Better a slightly lopsided, teetering Humpty-Dumpty, with one leg looking suspiciously like an arm and a sunken cheek than to have a totally wrecked, scary humpty-dumpty out on a rampage in Arab countries. Better to extend an arm or a leg to Iran in friendship than to bomb it and trash what's left of our reputation.

The Source Of Brillence - Yggie Of Course

You guy's I was rememebering how Government spending makes there be jobs and I was thinking, How did I come up with such a brillent concept of putting it that way. So I looked back through my archives and saw that (of COURSE) it all came from Yggie.

The original idea was Yggie. I can't take credit. I should of known.

Yggie is the one who wroted this post . Thats a good blogging post were Yggie uses Econcomics theory (and Brad Delong who unlike you is a ECONOMICST).

These guyse's point was very simple: if there would be House bill stimulus it would make there be 3.5 million JOBS if there would be Senate bill stimlus it would make there be 3 million JOBS. Yggie even did it as a graph with his techie excel skills(remind me to ask him for some number cunching excel lessons)



Well we did one of those stimuluses (forget) and we have seen how true The Jobs Equation is. How very true. Because those jobs were totally maded. Just think if without that stimulus. Why there'd be at least 3 million less jobs's then there are right now. Just gone. You can tell by looking at the graph. Thats economics. Thats why Brad Delong is such a good econoomist and Yggie is such a good blogger.

God it makes me salivatingly jealous looking back at how right the were all the long.

Humbling

If The Iraq War is like a tootache then The Iraq War being wrong is like how you have to do a something about that toothache. Like go to the dentist(Obama) and than you get numed up so the can give you a root canal. (True story). You can't just sit there with it wrong doing nothing. OUCH. At the very least if you have you're Blackberry along though you can use it to still keep up with work emails while you're wait for the dentist because MAN that dude was always coming in like ten minutes after the appointment SUPPOSABLY suppose to start. Except, taht you can't get reception in there (probably from the x-ray's equipement).

You can totally use that analogue I got alot of them. But the question is whose going to pay for that copay's because at the dentist its alot which that's not right. For the government not to pay for you're porcelain crowns. This bring's us to heathcare. But OH RIGHT I forgot the Reputzi's just say no let's not have heathcare. (Except them). So thats where we are about now. That's why this blog is so improtant.

I noticed there was like 100+ comments on the priory post. That's a raw number but its real. People are noticing and coming back to be part of something. Something like The Iraq War was wrong. This is a part of all of us. And, I'm must say. To have started it all on that fateful day nearly six years ago when I was suppose to be working on my postdoc "researche" or whatever's call. I mean wow. Its humbling.

There Be Jobs

Reminder: Government spending makes there be jobs.

Alot of people seem to have forgotted. But how right I was. How right indeed.

controversy following failed xmas so-called bombing

It's always important to listen to the other side, to know their grievances and to realize that essentially, they're just like us. According to my sources, in various websites frequented by so-called Islamists and Al-Qaeda followers, recent chatter indicates Al-Qaeda's number 2 is about to release a scathing critique tentatively titled "The Christmas Bombing Attempt - what did we do wrong?". It appears that the local Yemenite A.Q's leader's statement that "the system worked really very very smoothly" has triggered howls of outrage amongst several so-called Islamists over in Pakistan. He later explained his statement was taken out of context but this did little to smooth things over. Now, A.Q's (global) number 2, is rumored to have said the system spectacularly failed, in ways which will "astonish" so-called militants worldwide, promising a "total review" of "like everything". Asked whether this means heads will roll, he said "well, Kafir heads, Inshalla"

Although the Yemenite leader has since clarified his position, when asked if A.Q's number 2 is correct in saying the system has failed, he evasively replied "one shouldn't read that judgement out of context, that would be vicious. Terrible things occur once things are taken out of context. Yes, in a particular contextual framework, the system will be judged to have "failed", however this is only valid within the narrow conceptual framework within which it was stated." (A.Q's (global) #2 had the same reaction when asked if the Yemenite leader was wrong in saying the system worked so it appears they're in agreement.)

He added that with any luck, all Westerners' underwear will now be checked for explosives pre-flight, which will be a "tremendous" inconvenience and also "really very very funny".

end poverty in nigeria (w. comment by Obama)

bombs don't kill ppl, poor ppl kill ppl.
Nigeria is one of the poorest countries in the world.
tackle the root cause. *end poverty in nigeria, gaza, syria, saudi arabia, egypt, malaysia, libya, iraq, afghanistan. Or don't and watch more planes go up in flames and ask "why do they hate us?".

* also: in the musim parts of thailand (I smell trouble eventually brewing up there), lebanon, somalia (very poor place with lots of 'militants', naturally), yemen and iran.

Update: President Obama contributes: "We know that he traveled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies."

Exactly. He traveled to Yemen. A very poor country. Grappling with crushing poverty, in fact. So can we wipe off that we're-shocked-I-tell-you-shocked look from our faces now? For the umpteenth time, end poverty in Yemen!
