Prayer for Prey

The Sans Fromage must applaud Defense Secretary Rumsfeld on his recent reply to the audacious soldier asking about getting decent equipment. Mr. Rumsfeld has finally made it clear that the U.S. government doesn’t give a shit about the soldiers in Iraq but only cares about the political uses of the conflict. The Sans Fromage is glad Mr. Rumsfeld has decided to not mince words and give a false sense of hope to our soldiers press-ganged into service in a war in a country we don’t care about. Tell it like it is Donald.
If the Bush administration can’t gain political power from the war it is of no use to them. This has been a common theme of the last four years and will most probably continue for 4 more years. Look at the accomplishments of the Bush administration and you will see they are all self serving for upper class rich Americans. Meanwhile the U.S. economy is horrible, the prestige of the U.S. is at an all time low, you hear NO news concerning the space shuttle or the space station, there is no news concerning preserving the environment, no news about civil rights, no news about upgrading our faltering health care system, no news about maintenance of our infrastructure, no good news about anything. We do hear about privatization of Social Security. We do hear about this plan that will allow people to gamble with their future retirement. We do hear about this plan to enrich Wall Street and investment firms, (who were large donors to Bush’s campaign). We do hear about this plan that will begin the government’s withdrawal from providing a safety net for retirees, a scant minimum of money so people won’t starve, too quickly. We do hear of continuing tax cuts for the wealthier Americans. Remember our fearless leader is a religious man and he will pray for you as you starve. He will pray for you as he preys upon you. The Sans Fromage believes Americans are fools.
