Bush: We Must Keep White House To Prevent Peace And Prosperity

Yesterday when Romney dropped out he claimed it was to prevent the surrender to terror that the Democratic party would allow. Today President Bush will go even farther, claiming that "Prosperity and peace are in the balance, so with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward ... fight for victory ... and keep the White House in 2008." I'm not quite sure what he meant by that, but it sure sounded like he's anti-peace and and anti-prosperity.

Outside of George Bush's bubble there is no peace for America, as dozens of soldiers die needlessly every month in Iraq. The death and destruction that we helped bring over there is far greater to the innocents. Bush currently threatens war with Iran and nothing is going well over in Afghanistan. He knows peace hangs in the balance, so we must stay at war and a Republican in office will ensure that.

The issue of prosperity is a little trickier. Perhaps he meant to keep up the prosperity for an extremely small amount of wealthy people in America. There is no way he was referring to the rest of us, the economic conditions are going down the crapper faster than.....eh, nevermind. So as our nation heads closer and closer to a recession while the war saps our treasury, remember that George Bush wants us to keep conditions for peace and prosperity as they are.

So if you think our nation is acting peacefully and Americans are by and large prosperous, then go ahead and vote GOP in November. If you happen to live in reality, well then you have your choices. Do you want more of the same that we got in the last eight years, or a chance for change.

Bin Laden As An Agent Of Peace?

No we aren't talking about the Al-Qaeda figurehead who believes in holy war, this is the project of one of his 19 children, Omar Osama bin Laden. Omar is the one that created a stir when he married a British woman who is twice his age. Jane Felix-Brown became Zaina Alsabah for the wealthy young man and now together they are trying to work for peace. First step? A three-thousand mile horse race across North Africa.

From Yahoo News:

The couple has applied for a visa to Britain. And they are planning their endurance horse race across North Africa, which they hope to start in March. It is in the planning stages — they are seeking approval of governments along the route and need sponsors to help pay for the event and raise money for child victims of war.

Omar said they plan to ride 30 miles a day, with periodic weeklong rests in each country.

Teams from around the world will be encouraged to join in what the couple envisions as an equine version of the Paris-Dakar car rally. That rally was canceled this year due to fears over terrorist threats made by al-Qaida-affiliated groups in North Africa.

Omar, however, said he isn't worried.

"I heard the rally was stopped because of al-Qaida," he said. "I don't think they are going to stop me."

It is definitely a worthy cause, and his name alone attracts world-wide media attention. His goals of peace between Al-Qaeda and the west are probably more illusory than he thinks, but at least he is trying to raise money for a good cause.
