US House of Representatives OKs use of force against Iraq

What else can I say really, chances are that our sheep-like government will go along with it as well. They don't care what we think, they have no intention of listening to us. So what are we going to do people? Die in a meaningless war?

“MR. PRESIDENT, we are about to give you a great trust,” said Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas.

At a news conference a short time later, Bush thanked lawmakers and said: “The House of Representatives has spoken clearly to the world and to the U.N. Security Council.”

Bush reiterated that Iraq “must disarm and comply with all existing resolutions or it will be forced to comply. There are no other options.”

The House vote was 296 to 133, a strong endorsement of Bush’s insistence that he will work with the United Nations if possible but alone if necessary to disarm Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of his weapons of mass destruction. A majority of Democrats voted against the resolution — even though their House leader, Dick Gephardt, was one of its authors.

Earlier, the last holdout among major Democratic congressional leaders, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, announced that he had put aside his misgivings and supported the Bush resolution, and the Senate moved toward a vote by the end of the day Friday.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
