IS DEAN Jorge Bacobo turning into an idiot and a coward? Is he another
paid talking head of the Bush propaganda machine?
In response to a possible war with Iraq, Bocobo could not find anything
but justification for such unnecessary and illegal action. He is trumpeting
the same tired old mantra that this is a war to remove Saddam from
power.
What moron still alive besides Bush and the idiots in Washington's
employ still believes this? Let us call it for what it really is.
The billions of revenue in oil sales is the sole reason for this madness.
You think the fellows from Texas give a damn about the thousands of
Iraqi women and children who will be slaughtered? Do they really care
to remember that they championed Saddam when he gassed his own people,
and supported him against the "greater evil" that was apparently Iran?
Wake up Bacobo, you are begining to sound like a brainwashed oaf!
You are not making any sense with your pro-war rhetorics. You are
towing the right-wing line of simple arguments and black-and-white
perceptions.
Iraq is no longer a threat and America's constant insinuation that
it is does not make it so.
Now, you are putting North Korea in the same pot just because it
belongs to that demented Texan's "Axis of Evil."
Do you lack any backbone? Instead of standing up for what is clearly
right and humane, you instead swallow whatever putrid poo comes out
from across the Pacific.
Ironically, your defense of peace with the full backing of military
might work just as well to justify the New Peoples Army's continued
armed struggle. Or the Palestinians' suicide bombings. Or even the
al-Qaeda. Why not just point a gun at your spouse if you have a disagreement
about whether to cook pinakbet or lumpia shanghai for the night?
Dean, you are just clearly not thinking of the ramifications of your
own musings.
To make matters worse, you have the gall to link the injuries that
Filipinos suffered in the Israeli bombing to the justifiable removal
of Saddam.
Unbelievable! The leaps of logic you go through astounds even me.
But what particularly annoyed me was your allusion to the Filipino
people as a permanent commodity for world export. This just shows
how little you think of Filipinos unless they satisfy an economic
need for some world marketplace. I'm surprised that you haven't suggested
sending our children abroad as prostitutes. There is a world market
out there for them, you know. And I would venture to say that they
would bring in millions in income. How pathetic!
You are right about one thing, however. This is not about war or
peace. It is about the rationale for bombing thousands of men, women
and children to their grizzly deaths and your complicity in making
it happen.
