My View From The Litter Box!

TWO DAYS OF RAIN!

Greetings folks and once again welcome back to MVFTLB. Seems its a busy news day out there. Lot of things going on, and I will try my best in a attempt to cover some if it. Not all of it, otherwise i would go mental yanno? Ok heres one up to start the blog off with,,looks good too.

The E.U. Strikes back . Paulie has to go.
after members of the WFB found paul wolfowitz guilty of misconduct, which paulie still denys, The E.U: Members have come with a idea . They will agree to let the USA, find a replacment for wolfowitz , but only if paulie is dismissed from his duties at the WFB. Otherwise no deal. Its a bold step in the right direction. Giving the current findings of the misconduct and wolfowizts assistant stepped down due to growing concerns over the bad image the WFB has due to paulies deeds. Paulie has to got to go period. There will be no staying on as acting member of some smaller part of the WFB. Remove him and any direct duties he might have or wish to retain. Hes a bad stain on the WFB program.

still battling races?

Once again the race card is rearing its ugly face and this time its in the same place where it took place some 50 yrs later. In a new argument that some are calling purely race motivated, a school superintendent roy brooks , who happens to be black is facing a call for his firing over what the black community has alleged brooks firing of some non office jobs and even closed some schools. The whites have said that under mr.brooks , the school have seen better inrollment , better grades higher turn outs of graduates and like his tough demenor. So now where it all began,, the segregation is right back where it is. Dividing a communtiy that rose above it 50 yrs ago. I think the school board should let the numbers speak for themselfs and if they can prove that mr.brooks in any way shape or form , did harm to the school and lowerd any standards, then he should be fired. Untill then, i say let the man keep doing his job. Eevn if he comes across as tough as nails, hes doing his job.

Now its september for the war.

Didint we have this converstation 2 yrs ago? A timeline , date etc of when the troops would return home? in 2004 , congress said, they could start the withdrawl in a yr. that yr came and went and no troops came home. Well unless you count the ones that died. 2005 came and congress said, looking good folks, the troops can start to come home by 2006. 2006 came and they added more troops! Now its 2007 and once again the yo yo effect is taking hold and now congress is saying to Bush, fix the current mess in iraq, straighten out your corrupt , find contractors that do the job right, ease up on the blackwater morons and stop dicking the american ppl around.

And this coming from the mouths of some promiment republicans too! I know,, it made me drop my jaw for a bit too.

So lets see if this is really the last straw that broke the humvees back. They say in septemeber, show us some serious signs of change and good outlooks in iraq, otherwise, we pull the plug on the funding and start proceedings to bring the troops home.

but its safe to wallk around right? johnny MCcain said so.

Maybe the republicans have stopped watching FOX news and read some other papers besides the pat robertson weekly. In what is a clear sign that all is not well with the war in iraq, soliders have now taken it upon themselfs to raise concrete walls around their sub bases to protect themselfs from hostile acts of rpgs, or sniper attacks. In a growing trend in iraq, more and more insurgents are targeting sub bases and at times with deadly accuracy too.

Just yesterday a colo. was shot by a sniper in bagadad by a sniper as he surveyed a wall construction.

And thru it all iam sure folks are remembering Sen. R. John MCcains words when he visited iraq and said it was perfectly safe to walk around bagadad!! I think the man is losing his marbles to even think that , let alone come out and say it. And hes hoping ppl will forget his comments. Sorry johnny, not when folks read stories like the one above.

did bush bother to read the iraq bill before he vetoed it? if so then he cares nothing about the troops.

In a report issued, it has detailed malfunctions of some humvee doors that trap troops inside when they must flee from it after a attack say from a IED. The extra armour that some have added on the humvees, have hinderd the doors opening mechinism thus trapping the troops inside. In the Iraq war bill that Bush decided to veto, there was money in it to fix this problem. So for now a quick fix the army is doing is weld D shaped hooks to the doors of the attacked humvee in effort for other army trucks to rip the doors off it in case of attack and the doors become stuck. The army was planing on spending some serious money for fix this problem but well,, Bush vetoed the bill and for now some troops are welding I bolts to the doors to make a quick exit possible. I guess bush dosint care about the troops, otherwise, why would he veto the bill? Or the moron didint even read it.

where theres a will, theres a way. Gotta admire these folks.

They arent sitting around waiting. Nor are they bitching either. Seems the folks in Kansas are taking matters into thier own hands and clearing and cleaning up the mess left behind after last weeks f-5 tornado tore thru greensburg. What took 15-20 mins to destroy the town, folks are picking up the pieces and going about it alone due to the equitment needed to help isint there due to the iraq war,or the citys dump trucks and other heavy equitment was destroyed. Other towns neighboring greensburg have offerd some of thier equitment to assist with the clean up.

Because lets face it folks,, if ppl wait on Bush to get his sorry ass down there for a photo op, with his shirt sleeves rolled up , looking sad, its going to take even longer. And these folks dont have the time for shit like that. Let bush stop on by wednesday, but if he was a smart man , he would stay out of the way and let folks go about taking care of their bizz. Iam sure they wont be impressed when Bushs motorcade comes in, blocking streets and folks from doing what needs to be done either. Stay home Bush! Your last speech at New Orleans was a joke, and folks arent in the ha ha mood.
