Mission Botched.

Just about everyone able to express an opinion about "Mission accomplished" has or will have expressed his opinion before the week is out. That’s because it has been 5 years since the banner flew. I haven’t seen where anyone has come out and said "boy was I fooled" but most people were taken in by it. I don’t need to because I wasn’t fooled back then and to prove it, here is what I sent to some of you on May 15, 2003.

Sleep well tonight.

Jesus,

Jesus where are you when we really need you? I ask the same of Allah and The Buddha and all other gods? Big and small.

The world needs your help. Now. Leap into the breach. We have been listening to false gods. Geo. Bush, Don Rumsfield and Wolf Blitzer et. al. A pantheon of talking heads and blatherskites with no message of peace.

Give us a good old fashioned storm and a lesson on how to get along with one another, like you did in the old days. Lightning and thunder, throw in some huge hail stones. Get our attention. None of this shit about how you are on one side or the other, based on who has the fastest jets or smartest bombs, just you guys tell it like it is, you don’t have favorites. Do you? Am I wrong?

When an official from Syria explains that his country is accused of maybe having WMD’s the whole world knows the next door neighbor (Israel) is well endowed with everything possible to blow the world to smithereens, we should listen. With both ears. Maybe Syria has a right to protect itself even if Syria isn’t 100% on our side. If you read the papers, you know most of the world isn’t %100 on our side. We should wonder.

But you are Gods, and if you want to keep being part of my Gods, you better not be getting all of your information from the media. Stop and think.

This isn’t a good time for the world is it? One country (mine) has invaded another over a mere suspicion and the objections of most of the rest of the world. That nation (Mine) succeeded. We prevailed militarily, without so far, finding WMDs. So much for suspicion. But that is Okay, voters have short memories.

I’m proud of our military might.

You must be appalled.

Now we are threatening Syria. They are Muslim so what could you expect? The good news is they have very little oil.

Too much has already been done in the names of GODS.

Stop it if you can. It is about time for you to be GODS.
