President,<br />Sorry I haven't written, but I had to get away from all your silliness for a while. Even a pen pal like myself can only take so much without taking a break once in a while and watch you from the sidelines of you being ... well just you.<br /><br />I heard you decided to stick with Israel no matter what. That is not very surprising. We both know how much Cheney Rumsfield and the other neo-conservatives are so entwined with Israel, and you seem to think of yourself as the man who can make Hebrew prophecies come true.<br /><br />You really need to talk to someone other than Cheney and his neo-crew about this kind of stuff before you act on these impulses junior. They're bad for business. There is no global economy after Armageddon, So cut it out!<br /><br />I just heard Rummy and Cheney spit and sputter about Americans who just got Iraq all wrong.<br /><br />I am surprised that you could hit so low. Just when I think I don't think you can't get any lower, you find someway to surprise even the most cynical of all Americans.<br /><br /><br />The latest salvo against all the people who disagree with you and your administration is scraping the bottom. Suddenly the majority of the people in this country have became Islamist faschists, Nazi enablers, and traitors overnight.<br /><br />Although it follows your earlier bravado of exclaiming to the nations around the world telling them they are either with us or against us on Iraq.<br /><br />Now as a campaign stunt of the lowest form you have turned on the American people themselves. <br /><br />Rumsfield and Cheney are succeeding where the terrorists have failed; to destroy our government as we once knew it. <br /><br />Instead of promoting democracy in your own back yard you have blasted  one of the legs supporting our constitution, our right to descent; just like an insurgent uses an IED to  blow the legs off our soldiers in Iraq. <br /><br />I don't have to look at polls to know how desperate your republican party is; it is directly proportional to the severity of attack on the media and your  critics.<br /><br />All I can say is that Republicans must be in the worst shape they have ever been.<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">From: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  comments@whitehouse.gov<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">Date: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	August 31, 2006 5:02:03 PM CDT<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">To: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  guzmatom@mac.com<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.<br />We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.<br />The President is committed to continuing our economic progress,<br />defending our freedom, and upholding our Nation's deepest values.<br /><br />Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House<br />cannot respond to every message.

No carry-on luggage will be allowed and nothing may be carried in pockets:<br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">Pocket-size wallets and pocket-size purses plus contents (for example money, credit cards, identity cards etc (not handbags)<br /><br />Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets)<br /><br />Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (eg, diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic<br /><br />Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases<br /><br />Contact lens holders, without bottles of solution<br /><br />For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags)<br /><br />Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed (eg tampons, pads, towels and wipes)<br /><br />Tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs<br /><br />Keys (but no electrical key fobs). All passengers must be hand searched, and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be X-ray screened.<br />Pushchairs and walking aids must be X-ray screened, and only airport-provided wheelchairs may pass through the screening point.<br />In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the USA and all the items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, must be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate. <br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><br />There were tons of "chatter" and alerts just before the 2004 elections and strangely enough no one was arrested much less convicted of anything remotely associated to terrorism after the election was over.<br /><br />Let's pretend there was a plot to blow up planes destined for the United States. I remember when you said American life would be safe from the terrorists and yet we have lost our privacy, our ability to move freely throughout the country, and now we will not be able to bring our ipods or my cell phones on a flight? What's next, will we have to board the planes naked? The nudists already have chartered flights for that.<br /><br />Transportation stocks will be hit even harder than the price of oil. Our economies have lost billions of dollars already because of real and imagined threats.<br /><br />Millions of people in the UK and the US can say that terrorists have indeed changed our lives and not in a good way and neither you nor lap boy Blair have been able to stop any of it. The UK may have thwarted an attack but more are on the way. Hatred for America has gone up exponentially and Israel's bombing of Lebanon has kicked it up even higher. <br /><br /><br />On the bright side Oil cost should drop off on lower demand because of reduced flights to the U.S., but tourism will suck even more.<br /><br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; color:#FF0000;">I did not receive the normal thank you for writing auto-response from the White House.</span>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Imitation is flattery and denial is not a river in Egypt.</title><dc:creator>robertg6@earthlink.net</dc:creator><dc:subject>Aug. 2006</dc:subject><dc:date>2006-08-10T02:12:01-05:00</dc:date><link>http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/6401b886c0eeeb8538ee680c95c6ae94-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/6401b886c0eeeb8538ee680c95c6ae94-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">Mr. President,<br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Bold; font-weight:bold; font-weight:bold; ">The nation-splitting wedge issues you brought upon our country is paying dividends</span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "> for your friends like Scooter Libby,  Claude Allen, Bob Ney, David Safavian, Scott Jensen, Charles McGee,  Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay, Bob Ney, and Joe Lieberman have all paid for it.

Your policy outcomes are either colored brightly by Karl-Rove propaganda, or they magically become "opportunities."  As Condi says, "Disasters in Lebanon and in Iraq are merely 'birth pangs' of bold initiatives. <br /><br />My God junior, you have so many "disasters/opportunities," these days you are swimming in them.<br /><br />But, regardless of your failed presidency you have many imitators.<br /><br />The sincerest form flattery is imitation, so you must be blushing as world leaders take up many of your initiatives. <br /><br />Syria's foreign minister was asked if he feared the conflict in Lebanon could spill over into a regional war, Syria's foreign minister, Walid  said: "</span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><a href="http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1141692006" rel="self">Most welcome.</a></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">"  (That's Syrian for "Bring it on " in case you missed it.)<br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><br />When Israel began their incursion into Lebanon, the  IDF  used illegal weapons like cluster bombs on heavily populated areas just like you did in Iraq.  HRW Emergencies Director Peter Bouckaert has accused Israel for committing </span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><a href="http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/03/1344244&mode=thread&tid=25" rel="self">War Crimes</a></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "> such as systematically attacking, and killing civilians and Lebanese infrastructure during their "pursuit" of Hezbollah guerrillas as well as using banned weapons such as cluster bombs in heavily populated areas.   <br /></span><img class="imageStyle" alt="Lebanese_power_stations_bombed" src="http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/page8_blog_entry6_2.jpg" width="310" height="192"/><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">Israel also ignored the Geneva Convention, trashed all UN arbitration rejected international cooperation, and humiliated their allies just like you did.

You used "Shock and Awe." Israeli generals called their initial incursion a "Blitzkrieg."  You were both wrong.<br /><br />Since the both of you used similar strategies it isn't much of a surprise that both of you are having the same results. Hezbollah has gained world wide Arab support just like your Iraq invasion has  been a recruitment bonanza for terrorists  who hate America. <br /><br />The news gets better; because your unfettered support for Israel's destruction of Lebanon and their ongoing oppression of Palestinians has reinforced and maybe even gained you additional "friends" in the world. <br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">From: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  comments@whitehouse.gov<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">Date: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	August 10, 2006 2:28:36 AM CDT<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">To: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  guzmatom@mac.com<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.<br />We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.<br />The President is committed to continuing our economic progress,<br />defending our freedom, and upholding our Nation's deepest values.<br /><br />Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House<br />cannot respond to every message.

Now that war-torn nation is in civil war and required even more U.S. troops.<br /><br />You also  bragged about your support for the Lebanese democracy, I believe your administration named it the Cedar Revolution similar to the Orange Revolution which  you also supported in the Ukraine. <br /><br />Unfortunately, both of your highly praised and U.S. supported democratic efforts have fallen on hard times. <br /><br />The Orange Revolution sputtered out only to be lead now by Russia's candidate Viktor Yanukovych as prime minister, and Lebanon is another bad story.<br /><br />Your Cedar Revolution in Lebanon is as dead as those children in Qana; both killed off by your Israeli buddies and neo-cons in your cabinet. Those poor bastards thought that your support was a good thing until they started to duck U.S. -supplied jets, burning U.S. -supplied jet fuel, dropping U.S-supplied missiles on their country.  They didn't realize that your unconditional support for Israel trumps any earlier blather about your support for their fledgling government.<br /><br /><br />I won't even get into your disastrous CIA-led effort to overthrow Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. It was sad and stupid.<br /><br />You were also quite contemptuous of Palestinian people who democratically elected parliament consisted of several Hamas members. The citizens murdered at the hands of Israel don't even get hardly any ink.<br /><br />Anyone who follows  your hypocritical foreign policy initiatives knows your happy talk about pushing democracy is merely lip service and only pr for your base. <br /><br />The world fully understands you truly have a black thumb when it comes to growing democracy in the world.  If I lived in one of those countries you wished to have a democratic society, I would immediately start digging a bomb shelter or just kiss my ass good bye.<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">From: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  comments@whitehouse.gov<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">Date: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	August 7, 2006 5:28:19 PM CDT<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">To: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  guzmatom@mac.com<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.<br />We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.<br />The President is committed to continuing our economic progress,<br />defending our freedom, and upholding our Nation's deepest values.<br /><br />Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House<br />cannot respond to every message.

He is an entertainer ...period. <br /> <br />This same week the Army general who ran the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison and supervised the  military team at Abu Gharib using torture techniques on detained suspects, was praised at a retirement ceremony this Monday as an "innovator and an exceptional leader." <br /><br />Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller was </span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1155AP_General_Medal.html" rel="self">awarded</a></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "> the Distinguished Service Medal distinguishing himself for "exceptional meritorious service" in a "duty of great responsibility."<br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">But, this bit of news was not emphasized. Here is a man who probably caused the death of several soldiers at the very least and outright murder and assault of hundreds of innocent civilians at the most.<br /><br /><br />It is sad, how we allow ourselves to be jerked to and fro by people who desperately want to keep our attention on what they want us to think, like the Israelis.<br /><br />The influence of Israeli lobby groups not only affect our foreign policy they also significantly influence our news media.  <br /><br />Anyone with an internet connection can see the stark difference between the world's press coverage and the U.S. coverage of the Lebanon war.<br /><br />Much of the American press uses assumption-loaded opinions taken as facts, to support Israel and vilify anyone who speaks or acts against Israel, hence, we get Mel Gibson stories.<br /> <br />You better hope the American people don't get smart. If they read stories involving Israel in the foreign press before they make up their minds they may begin turning off American news and spend more time watching phony news like Jon Stewart.<br /><br />I have jerked the other way because so much of the American press has a definite pro-Israel bias. I hate it when people try to manipulate what I should think, and I don't demand my doctor prescribe TV advertised drugs either. <br /><br />Every story has two sides. And I have to force myself to remember that even if the U.S. media pushes the Israeli viewpoint heavily doesn't necessarily make the day's story to be untrue, but it surely makes me very suspicious. <br /><br />Especially when my own research has shown Israel to be more of a villain than I was led to believe. They have murdered American soldiers in the past as well as torture kill and imprison many innocent Palestinians.<br /><br /> I had high expectations for a country of people who began with many survivors of Hitler's death camps. I expected them to value human life and abhor the evil that militarism brings.  But sadly, I have seen the Jewish state take on more and more aspects of a military-dominated state. <br /><br />I have read reports from neutral groups like the U.N. and human rights groups and so far Israel looks pretty guilty. They have targeted civilians, used cluster bombs in heavily populated areas, shot at ambulances, and fleeing civilians.  <br /></span><img class="imageStyle" alt="imaged7087657-ece4-4179-b084-7a42e8ec1cbc" src="http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/page8_blog_entry1_2.jpg" width="308" height="227"/><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><br /></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; ">According to international law these are war crimes along the lines of what Hitler did to their grandparents. But, thanks to the overriding influence of the Jewish organizations, these reports may never see the light of day in the American media, but we will see talking heads frothing at the mouth over Mel Gibson's drunken comments.<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">From: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  comments@whitehouse.gov<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">Date: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	August 3, 2006 10:35:54 PM CDT<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">To: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  guzmatom@mac.com<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.<br />We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.<br />The President is committed to continuing our economic progress,<br />defending our freedom, and upholding our Nation's deepest values.<br /><br />Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House<br />cannot respond to every message.

You present a worst case scenario before you act out your schemes.  Afterwards, you paint the best case outcome. <br />My daughter would describe you as Eeyore from "Winnie the Poo" as you low ball expectations before you implement your disastrous policies and schizophrenically change to "Pollyanna" when you describe how wonderful everything is afterwards.<br /><br />I hate to be the one to tell you, but there is no good outcome for the "proxy war" you are having with Iran. <br /><br />It feels a little like the cold war years when the United States funded and propped up puppet regimes while the Soviet Union funded and propped their puppet regimes to fight our puppet regimes. The puppet regimes sustained the death and destruction while America and the Soviet Union sat back and cheered their teams on.<br /><br />Israel has had it easy so far since they had their puppet regime (America)  pre-emptively invade their Arab nemesis, Iraq despite their lack of WMD's or danger to the United States. <br /><br /><br />At least the Lebanon war has not claimed any American soldier's lives or bombed any American cities. This time your puppet master has to get his own hands bloody.  <br /><br />So keep sending Israel, jet fuel satellite reconnaissance and bombs they want. Let the Israeli people live in bunkers.  Iran can continue to send Lebanon, more guns and missiles while the Lebanese bodies litter the streets. It's no skin off your nose.<br /><br />You and Iran can sit back and cheer your teams on from afar and if Israel soldiers die so what, if Hizballah soldiers die so what. <br /><br />It brings back the good old days when we lived from day to day wondering if the soviets  would be crazy enough to pre-emptively start Armageddon.<br /><br />Now the shoe is on the other foot; the rest of the world is wondering day-to-day  which international disaster will trigger a fantasy episode in your mind that justifies a pre-emptive nuclear strike. <br /><br />Nixon considered </span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1151AP_Nixon_Vietnam.html?source=rss" rel="self">dropping</a></span><span style="font:12px Times-Roman; "> an atomic weapon on North Vietnam  during the Vietnam war, so it wouldn't be the first time a paranoid and criminal Republican president thought about using nuclear weapons when all else fails. <br /></span><img class="imageStyle" alt="may02" src="http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/page8_blog_entry0_2.jpg" width="96" height="135"/>  <img class="imageStyle" alt="may01" src="http://web17.websitesource.net/page8/files/page8_blog_entry0_3.jpg" width="108" height="135"/><br /><br /><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">From: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  comments@whitehouse.gov<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">Date: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	August 3, 2006 12:38:36 AM CDT<br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	</span><span style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold; ">To: </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">	  guzmatom@mac.com<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#FF0000;">On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.<br />We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.<br />The President is committed to continuing our economic progress,<br />defending our freedom, and upholding our Nation's deepest values.<br /><br />Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House<br />cannot respond to every message.
