Not so covert operations....

[Guest guest]

Here's a good one from Das:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got this message:

 

 

 

Phone the White house at 202-456-1111. A machine will detain you a

moment and then a pleasant operator will thank you for saying "I oppose"

or I

"approve of" the proposed war against Iraq.

 

 

 

I thought:

 

Yeah right, what a great way to collect a database of a certain class of

people. Phone number, to identity, to SS#, lickety split, tracked then

as part of a "general opinion poll" database on anti usual sentiments...

as per the ultra center.

 

The letter went on to say "Pres. Bush wants to know how we feel about

the war". Gosh. How sincere of him. Oh brother.

Geee, folks, what impresses me is the sideways look taken at this poll. Clinton

polled everyone about everything, and modified his actions according to the

loudest voice from the polls. I see this as a way for public expression of

their sentiments without taking umpteen days out of the President's time to

collect numbers on how people feel.

If Clinton's polling everyone about everything was not offensive to you, then

your expression of distrust may be illogical and not very sincere when you have

a problem with Bush polling the American public as his predecessor did.

Oh, well, politics goes like that, doesn't it!

Love to all,

All - Greetings!

 

There will be people who don't agree with me...

 

I, for one, don't think it's anyone trying to collect anything

other than exactly what they said - opinions. I also don't think

Mr. Bush will change his mind BASED on those opinions. I simply

think it's a way of measuring the difference (er, distance), if

any, between his plans, and public opinion.

 

My guess is that his mind is made up about WHAT he's going to

initiate - the question is HOW. And I for one (as a former Marine)

think we should have killed (preferable) or at least deposed Saddam

back in '91 while we were there. Now, I believe that his removal is

necessary as well as inevitable, but that we should just "go" there

without at least going through the motions of offering Saddam the

chance to live up to the UN Sanctions. He will, of course, not allow

this, or he will cheat as he has in the past. THEN, he can be

legitimately removed without prejudice.

 

....And I agree with you Carolhook, about Clinton's polling everyone.

That CLEARLY was a most insincere and dishonest presidency. Yet

he was popular beyond belief. Perhaps we really DO get the leaders we

deserve. I hope not. I hope we are better than that.

 

Best regards,

Martin
