OLD BOOK REPORT INCLUDED

 Well, the Morning Joes' say it feels like it's a turning point in Ukraine. I am hopeful, they are equating this shit with shit just like it, the war guys for TV all have something to say this morning, "get me an interview," at their manager's when they get up, after coffee, how to direct the death and maiming of some other ones, the official with the experience and chops to tell it like the network says to, not the tie guy on the tube, 

When we got to Baghdad, the game was to seat Chalabi and go clean up the bases in SA because they were causing more and more trouble, the Shia were really pissed off about the US having bases in their holy land. Believe it or not, these are extremely important issues to them and they should have been afforded the respect they deserved, but the king said it was OK and they had to have somewhere to bomb Iraq from for a while so, they did it.

aL Qaida is Shia and Saudi-led, go figure 

 The amusement in the eyes of the dudes that lined up for their shares of the 28 billion dollars of Iraqi money that had been frozen in banks due to sanctions that were now in the hands of the CIA who was looking for info and Iraqi friends, Yahoo! I said, Yahoo,  don't worry, if the CIA disbursed you your own private issue, go out and make it work, buy info. They say CIA guys were playing football with packages of hundred-dollar bills in the courtyard of the palace they picked for their own. It went fast, that money, a lot of the Iraqi National Congress guys thought the sneaky little cabal in the white house back here, the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Tenet would give them that money, and it did, they just had to go get it from the CIA guys he sent with it. It was Iraqi government frozen assets. Do you think the Iraqis could have used that dough for, say, like...electricity and sewer service?.

Later, soldiers were finding, here and there, these patrols of American and British special forces guys found ...out there in Baghdad neighborhoods... concrete huts without windows, stuffed full of money, the troops, our troops, were finding them. Now, the bread out there for the guys in the club was of retirement quality, just wrap it up and mail it home, safe as the soldier's absentee ballots were.

I tried to enlist as soon as I heard about it but I was too old already, I can't find anyone to pay me to go do anything anywhere anymore, they won't hire "Pops". Sons of Bitches.

Start your conviction charts for the republican congressmen everything was being left to, what a fucking story this is, do we stop the big hand right here and get a new clock for after or what? What the hell, how big is the government going to be able to be in order to ensure "justice for all" under the constitutional direction the Trumpists shit all over, some of it I don't like, but we were getting, we are getting a little better as we have gone while I been on the planet, I been here and I pay attention, don't worry, I remember a lot of great and ugly shit we have done, America, and I don't know which side the scales weigh down on or if they are even, I don't know, I am not that organized.

Pretty deep this morning. I got indigestion again. It's bad because it makes my stomach hurt but it's good because if I smoke a joint it stops for a couple of hours, so there's that.

Happy Trails, don't go out with the crazy bastards that will be foaming around for a while, just duck it, watch it on youtube, Lindsey Graham says they are going to fight, but not him, he won't.
