One drug lord wanted to nail another drug lord, so he made some calls to some US friends in the CIA or otherwise involved with Plan Colombia and presto!

How long from now is never?<BR/>PSA's completely correct, the current administration's scorched earth agenda is all about making the situation so toxic that the next president will be left holding the very large reeking bag and be declared a failure when they fail to unring the bell that is the invasion of Iraq and possibly Iran, thus clearing the way for whichever republican carpetbagger they are grooming for 2012 or 2016, depending on how long it takes the next president to get the country out of economic chaos and depression.<BR/>Think of it as the slum landlord/insurance fraud school of governance -- bleed everyone dry for as long as you can then set fire to the place to collect the insurance money and throw up another shitty crackerbox apt building somewhere else, rinse, repeat.Rev.Paperboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561796588927776371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-31901862958000227892008-05-07T10:29:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:29:00.000-04:00i have the funny feeling that if obama wins, he'll...i have the funny feeling that if obama wins, he'll have his hands full trying to quell the dissent from among those that bought the hopes and dreams schpiel. as deeply retarded as l'il george seems to be, he's spending a great deal of effort hamstringing his successors into a permanent clusterfuck overseas. to say nothing of the ridiculous mess he's made of the executive. i don't recall either of the democratic candidates putting forth any sort of plan to extricate themselves from iraq and gawd help them if they try and it goes haywire. and what are the odds of that? dead high, i'd wager. interesting times, as the old curse goes. north and south, intersting times.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-23592251784479034562008-05-07T09:38:00.000-04:002008-05-07T09:38:00.000-04:00I'm going to guess, 50 years after Erik Prince and...I'm going to guess, 50 years after Erik Prince and everyone else dies.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Obama will investigate.
