The Real Threat!
It's 11:45 Sunday night and the field can't sleep or concentrate on his work. Why? Well it seems the world is this close [that's my two fingers inches apart from each other] to becoming one large microwave oven. Yes folks, my man Kim Jong Crazy looks like he did test that nuke of his, and in essence, has shook his d&*&k at the United States and the rest of the Western World. Now I see on CNN where some South Korean Ambassador is threatening economic sanctions against Kim Crazy and his crew. Like what good is that going to do? The people there are already starving, and unless you are a soldier in that country, you damn near only eat one meal a day anyway. I guess the Chinese stepping in to try to stop Kim Jong Crazy at the last minute didn't help either huh.
Folks, we all know what a mess frat boy made of the Middle East, but this will go down as the biggest foreign policy blunder of his reign, and probably of any President in American History. Yes even greater than LBJ and his failed effort in Vietnam. Because if this whack job in North Korea really has nuclear capabilities at his finger tips, there is no telling what type of damage he can do. I know hind site is 20/20, but Condi ,frat boy, and the crew should have joined those talks with Japan, South Korea, and North Korea. Or at the very least, unilaterally engaged them. Isn't it funny how we went after Saddam unilaterally, but we insist on a multilateral approach with North Korea? We should have shown some good faith, and let Kim Jong Crazy know that it's not personal, but the world just can't afford another nuclear power right now. I mean it's bad enough that we have India, Pakistan, and possibly Iran, packing the ultimate weapon. But to have North Korea join this little party...well let's just say the field doesn't sleep as well at nights knowing of those prospects.
I hate to beat a dead horse, well f%^k it, I am going to beat him anyway. If frat boy had not declared North Korea a part of the axis of evil, and damn near declared to the world that the North Koreans are our enemy, maybe we wouldn't be having to worry about Kim firing underground nukes with the capabilities of destroying 200,000 people. And if you are going to make those statements frat boy, you had better know how to back them up, and not commit our military and it's resources to the Middle East to take down mustache man. If we are going to accuse the North Koreans like we did in 2002 of violating their 1994 agreement with us by enriching uranium to weapons grade, then we had better be damn sure they did. Now, given the lies that we were told about Iraq, I am not even so sure that Pyongyang did violate the terms of that 1994 agreement between them and Washington. Yes, frat boy said they did, and we all know how reliable his administration has become. He said they had WMD's in Iraq too.
Now I am not totally absolving Bubba for this mess either. In 1991 North Korea set up an economic zone with the South, and wanted to move forward with more progressive economic policies. In my humble opinion, the Clinton administration did not do enough to facilitate this and were a little short sighted in how they handled North Korea. After the fall of the Soviet Union more should have been done to bring North Korea in line economically with other countries. Instead, we let China play the big benefactor, and they damn near controlled little brother North Korea, by being their sole supporter and provider of military equipment, and trade. But the real blame for the mess we are in lies with frat boy. I mean Stevie Wonder could see that Kim Crazy had his back to the wall. After the United States and her allies stopped sending him oil, and basically cut him off economically, just what did we expect him to do, but play the only trump card he has? Which is the threat of a nuclear weapon against mankind, and any nation that can supply him with food and energy.
Hey, it's been all down hill for our palls from the North ever since the division of the Korean Peninsula in 1945, and they look at their brothers to the South, and there is envy. I can't say that I blame them either. The South is booming, and the North is starving, and all that they-the North- has to maintain their pride is their military. A smart diplomat would have seen that, and a smart President would have recognized that the real threat to our security, is not the crazy man in Baghdad with the beard, but the short little man in Pyongyang with the f^&*%d up haircut.
So here we are folks, on the verge of World War III. Serious this time; not some made up neo con war. This time, because the stakes are so high for the North Koreans, their people are starving, and their backs are to the wall, we could be in for some serious s#^*t. Let's hope the Chinese step in and talk some sense into that little mini me looking psycho. Because lord knows we can't depend on Condi and her crew to do it. She is too busy flying in and out Bushdad, and trying to make sure frat boy's faux war on terror remains front and center. This of course is essential to get the rethuglicans elected to the majority again in November.
Here is hoping that by the time I wake up tomorrow, the report on CNN will have been proven to be false, and Kim didn't test fire that nuclear missile after all. But somehow, the field doesn't have a good feeling about this. You know what, I think I will sleep in my basement tonight. I wonder where Condi is sleeping right about now? Wherever it is, I hope her phone works.
I'm white and even my last name is white, but my greatgrandfather changed it from LeBlanc to White. His reasoning was to keep his family safe. Our family moved to Vermont and in those days in Vermont the french were killed over jobs.
ReplyDeleteWe in Vermont have grown some since then. I lived in Tennessee for 12 years too, in the projects mind you. Yes a bunch of long haired musician from little O'l Vermont moved into the blackest neighborhood in town. At first we had problems with police constantly harrasing us asking what we were doing on that side of town. The only racial thing I heard from the black community that helped shape my young adult life was hearing "Hey, kid you shouldn't be out here at night." When any of us asked why they would say because we were white. Soon we were havin barb-q's with what seemed like the whole neighborhood. They didn't even mind when we had band practice, some came to listen. Something I grew up with having to move the band practice area so rich boys n girls could hear his/her redneck cousin kissing music. Our black neighbors didn't and opposingly showed us dance steps to help us with our stage show. We'd incorperate certain dance moves in with the headbanging and moshing. Something that we introduce to that side of the community. At first we were called the crazy white boys that like to hit each other and me, I was pointed out as the, "crazy white boy who lit himself on fire." I Admit it I did do some crazy stuff back then, but soon we had a very diverse crowd for a band that played the music we played. Thanks to our neighbors who helped instead of hindering.
Now, I'm supposably all grown up, in other words I work a goverment job and have kids. I went to school late in life, but hey atleast I finally went to school, well college anyways. Though I am no better off than I was in the Clinton days working as a waiter. I make a lot more money, but my cost of living now is outragous.
Yes, my priorities changed. I now payout $82 bi-weekly for health and dental, $68 bi-weekly to a retirement package through the state job I have. That's not whats killing the checking account though it's the rent that used to be $425 thats now $1200, the groceries that used be $200 bi-weekly to well over $200 a week. The gas that was $1 a gallon goes for $3.50 when their is no election to now $2.02 when it's closing in on November. My heating bill total for the winter of 2001 $480, last winter was $1800 and little food or gasoline for the family. Because in Vermont, no heat means you die a cold painful death. Yes, now that the repugs are in charge they can shut off heat and elec to people with kids.
Bush's political party is even turning against him. Even funnier when they NRC came to endorse their Republican canidates they endorse all but one. Tarrent a rich boy who moved here went to college, started ITX a medical software company that when the millions came he sold out and moved to Florida. He's got a new home in Florida thats almost done, he's moving in around mid to late November. I can understand why they chose to support Bernie over Tarrent, because the only way to say it isn't nice we'll just say he lies to much for even republican standards. When the press pushed and asked about Tarrent. The answer was a chuckling Tarrent, Who?...
I don't know why they always call us a blue state. We vote based on the mans or womans merits not his/her affiliation. I think that might be why they are supporting Bernie instead of Tarrent.
I hope this administration knows they destroyed the racial byass that seem to disappear after 9-11. That came back in full fledge after Katrina. It wasn't the average white person who didn't try to help, many did but were turned away by Governing officials. Many big companies tried to do the landscaping for free, but no they were told to stop and leave. The goverment already contracted it out to the cronies who have made little progress.
If you ask me we need to get out of everybody elses problems and work on the ones that are here in our own country. We keep hearing that we're trying to bring democracy to the middle-east. Well guess what they don't want it, atleast not at our hand. While we Americans lose more and more rights.
Also as far as Condi goes...Shes nice, polite, well educated (unlike our President), well spoken, can speak to many different social and ethinic groups with ease. Yes your right theres a but coming. That but is the fact that she supports Bush too much to make her a viable person to get the US people to listen to her. Now Colin Powell is a different story. I understand and respect that he wants to concentrate on family now, but we need him back bad to fix what Rumsfield is jackin up. I also believe it was more his ethics that made him quit than his need to be with family. I could be wrong but I believe his family would back him if wanted to join the political circus again, because he's a man of honor and we need that right NOW !!!
Thanks for the post and your story clayto, you seem like a conscious and well reasoned individual. Always a pleasure to hear from those of your ilk.
