Strong Persuader

This isn't the sort of blog where you normally find links to music videos but I couldn't pass Twenty up. It's by Grammy-winning bluesman Robert Cray who tells the stories about Iraq that you're not seeing on the cable news networks.

Thank you for putting the link to Robert Cray Band song up. I have sent it to my friends in the 9/11 Truth movement in the UK, together with others who still believe the Official 9/11 Commission Report, even though they have never read it.

Thanks again

Mick

"When you're used up, where do you go, Soldier?"

I thought, when the song began, that this question was figurative, or he meant emotionally used up, or that there was a deeper, hidden meaning in his words. I don't get the symbolism in so many songs and poems. It's not my thing.

However, it didn't take long for me to realize that he meant when YOU are used up. When your legs can no longer can carry you; when your arms are gone; when the only function of your brain is to whisper the command "breathe in, breathe out"; when your heart stops. Then you are used up, Soldier. And, like so many other people in this awful war, you've become disposable.

"Where do you go?" I don't know. I wish this war was black and white. I wish it was about good and evil. I wish this war had never happened. I wish this war would go away.

"Mother dry your eyes"

I do. Every day.

Thanks for that A. Will pass it on.

For those who doubt the 9/11 Commission, does the released transcript from Flight 93 do anything? After hearing the transcript, I would have to conclude that the government is telling the truth or they are serious in executing these conspiracies right down to the hired guns last mooment.

For you people fighting the war in the safety of Toronto read this, I know some of you may have closed your minds, but one more article will not cause you brain damage.

I am going to visit Isreal and the area in the
Fall, so no more comments from me on this subject until I get back.

Geographically Challenged (Fox News 5/3/06

A new poll conducted for National Geographic shows that despite extensive news coverage of Hurricane Katrina nearly one-third of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can't find Louisiana on a map, and nearly one half can't find Mississippi.

What's more, sixty percent of those polled couldn't locate Iraq, and seventy five percent couldn't locate Israel. In fact, fewer than 30 percent said it is important to know the locations of countries in the news."

And they thought Rick mercer was merciless in 'Talking to Americans'!

Okay kiddies, go back to your MTV and game players!
