She’s dead.  Leave it alone.  No matter how many times you investigate it, she’ll still be dead. 

On the other hand, everybody loves a mystery, right?


Blackwater

October 3, 2007

Blackwater was hired as an independent contractor to guard and protect visiting dignitaries while they were in Iraq.  That’s my take on it, anyway.  If I’m wrong, please disregard the following.

Would you rather they wait to return fire until all the Iraqi citizens are out of the way?  I’m sure Condoleeza Rice won’t mind waiting under the Hummer until they all scurry inside first.  What’s a little dirt and oil up her nose, right?  I mean, that’s just par for the course when you’re visiting a war torn nation.  You really don’t expect to go from one place to another without hitting the dirt several times on the way, right?

It’s not like they have roadside bombs going off over there every day, right?  I mean please!  Show some restraint guys!  Let Condie get a graze at least before you start return fire!  She’s a right tough little cookie!  She won’t mind!  Hell the Secretary of State would be willing to take one for the team before you actually start firing back.  He’s a generous kinda guy. 

And if Hillary ever comes over, you can just put a stick up her ass and wave her around like a target peace flag and see if that works out for you.  If she comes back full of bullet holes, maybe that was just an accident and you can try again with Bill.

I just don’t understand why you guys automatically assume that when a vehicle bursts out of traffic and starts towards you at a high rate of speed, it must be a threat!  Jeeze maybe it’s just some Iraqi guy who’s late for work.  I mean, gun barrels bristling out the windows don’t necessarily haveto mean that they are being aggressive do they?  Maybe they’re just going skeet shooting at the country club.  Did you ever think of that?

And what are a few mis-aimed bombs between friends?  Jiminy!  You would think that they were attacking you or something, just because they bombed a few barracks and killed a few people.  You guys have got to lighten UP!  If you don’t do that soon, people just might think you have a job to do there and that you take it seriously.  God knows, we don’t want THAT to happen!


Just Because Everybody Loves A Mystery

Kennedy Assassination 

 I don’t want my mysteries solved.  I want to ruminate about them over a nice hot cup of java on crisp Sunday mornings while I’m sitting on the porch swing with My Dearest Husband watching the sun come up over the valley.  It gives us something to really sink our teeth into without getting too full, if you know what I mean.

Like, I prefer the lone gunman theory for the JFK shooting.  I’ve seen alot of stupid fast shooters in my time.  It would be just about like Lee Harvey Oswald to be one of those gun nuts who put in enough hours and had just enough natural ability to pull that off all by himself.  If you’ve ever been all hyped up on the A-line you know how things just seem to move in slow mo while everything is happening, while in reality it’s all moving in hyperspeed.  If Oswald happened to be in just that frame of reference, he could have pulled it off easy.  All by his lonesome.

My Dearest Husband prefers the group theory.  More to keep the argument going than any firm belief in it I think. 

We went to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, stood on the grassy knoll, actually stood on the X they have marked on the road where Kennedy took the shot.  Kinda creepy how it’s all laid out there like that.  We stood on that X and looked back at the windows of the School book depository where Oswald would have been shooting from.  It would have been a clear and easy shot.  Not near as complicated as it was always made to seem. 

The fact is, he had easier shots at Kennedy while he was coming straight towards him.  My guess is that he chose not to take them because so many people would have been looking right in his direction at the time of the shots.  It would have been so much easier to see him(Oswald) there.  By waiting until Kennedy turned the corner and was moving away, all faces and cameras would have been pointing away from his location. 

Could easily have been one man.  It could easily have been Oswald.  Or someone one else.  Who knows who it was.?

Robert Garwood

Bobby Garwood walks out of Viet Nam more than ten years after he was captured and held as a POW.  He begins to tell about other US service men still in camps in Viet Nam and other countries in Southeast Asia.  But Bobby Garwood is an embarrassment to the US government and they don’t like him.  So what he says has to be kept quiet. However, what he says can be proven.  Google him.  Look him up. 

Read everything you can find out about his disappearance, his captivity, and his return home.  Then think about what you now know about our involvement in Southeast Asia.  Think about all of the despicable things our government did to the very soldiers they sent over there to fight.  Then decide what you think about what a man did to survive his captivity in the hands of the enemy.
