Bush's marijuana penalty: Go to Iraq instead of college

Here's a quick news item from Tom Angell, Government Relations Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy:

Yesterday Rep. Henry Waxman's House oversight committee released records showing the Pentagon has been allowing more people with drug and other convictions to join the military to make up for recruitment shortfalls.

At the same time, the Bush administration and some in Congress support a policy that automatically strips college financial aid from students with drug convictions (including marijuana possession).

Why do these politicians think that young people with drug convictions aren't college material but are perfectly fit to go fight Bush's war in Iraq?

Our student group has put together a 2 1/2 minute video that exposes this "Drug War Draft."

Nazi-government of Bush and his cronies of course wants the people who open their minds to die in Iraq. These are the people who would oppose the illegal international weapons sale and warmongering of US standard operating procedure. We are being prepared for total war on any non-new world order supporters. It is now so overt that its weird that people arent revoltiong already in the United States of Auschwitz. Camps are being built all over the states. laws are circumvented with presidential directives...A people is appointed to be the next object of mass destruction; muslems.
Lets face it, people, America nad the world are fucked. World war is inevitable. Repression can only be total when the people are distracted by huge wars or fear for so-called terrorism.
The only terrorists at the moment are the corporate politicians and their masters. Muslems are being fed death to make them angry at Jews, so the middle east stability can be destroyed totally. Hard-drugs are flooding the markets. Psychedelics and spiritual growth are demonized. Consumerism is plugged allover the corprate-owned media. Nationalism is at its highest AND lowest in most western countries. Racism is peaking in the US. Eugenics are being seriously implied in the USA and beyond.
White man rules by dealing stink, filth and death. We live on the dumps of our 'progress' while knowledge is at its lowest; modern technology is no more than implying simple mathematics....
Yes, of course they want stoners to die in Iraq. They are theonly people still free enough to refuse or revolt.

Sorry Zupa, I think you know the u.s. would reneg on that deal. Lying has been o.k'd by the Supreme Court. For confirmation of this check out the latest news about Taliban kingpin, Bashir Noorzai, whom u.s. agents lied to about diplomatic immunity if he helped flush out terrorists. When he was busted at JFK airport he cried foul and contested this skulduggery in court. But the u.s. government ruled it was o.k. to lie to him. We'll see what his lawyers can do.

I'd go to Iraq if it meant I got Diplomatic Immunity as an international hash and opium trader, over any college course any day. But I wouldn't trust it would be about that at all, unless it was explicitly stated and I had a secured signed contract saying so.

Hideously typical. Ugh.
