Iraqi War Dead or 'The Butcher's Bill'
2,360 TOTAL US MILITARY DEAD
17,469 TOTAL MILITARY WOUNDED IN ACTION (D.O.D. release 4-7-2006)
Is it really worth it? All the dead and wounded; their sacrifices are great and honorable. Civil War there seems more probable now; if it is not ready happening.
I guess this is the proof that,
You can't impose Democracy at the point of a GUN!

U.S. contemplating use of Nuclear Weapons Preemptive Strike
The military planners have drawn up plans which would use 'Tactical Nuclear' weapons against Iran to take out the Iranian Nuclear facilities.
What a wonderful plan this Administration has envisioned. We have had such luck and success with the War In Iraq, rebuilding in the South after Katrina, Immigration, Social Security reform, Harriet Meyers nominated to the Supreme Court, affordable college educations, affordable health care, etc, et al.
Why, Bush and his administration have restored Trust and Morality back to the Whitehouse and his Government. Let's see. Jack Abramoff, Rep. Cunningham, Scooter Libby, the WMDs found in Iraq, Tom Delay, the Domestic Presidential adviser that was charge with shoplifting and fraud, the Middle Class has grown and there are fewer poor in America.
If the koolaid drinkers keep electing him and his elk and keep turning a blind eye to his total incompetence, then we will soon become a third world power that will have earned the contempt of the entire world.

Bush OK'd the CIA Leak! Impeachment NOW!
If it is true that Bush OK'd the CIA leak then it is time to not censure the President but Impeach him.
In the evidence released, the Presidential OK was given to Libby through VP Cheney. Cheney could be pressured to do a Mia Culpa to save Bush. It will be interesting to see who does what and when they will do it
I personally believe that since the American People have been hoodwinked into a War, that American lives and limbs have been lost due to that 'hoodwinking', then, in the most favorable light to this incompetent Administration, the criteria of High Crimes and Misdemeanors has been reached and we should proceed to Impeachment and then Removal from Office.
The Raw Story reports Bush said the following about the Leak and HIS reactions:
President Bush, 9/30/03:
"I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."
President Bush, 9/30/03:
"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of. . . . I have told our administration, people in my administration to be fully cooperative. I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business."
President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I'd like to know if somebody in my White House did leak sensitive information."
President Bush, 6/10/04:
Reporter: "Do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?"
President Bush: "Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts."
President Bush, 10/28/03:
"I want to know the truth. ... I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers."
President Bush, 7/18/05 issue of USA Today:
"If someone committed crime, they will no longer work in my administration."
White House Press Secretary, 9/29/03:
"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
White House Press Secretary, 10/7/03:
"Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I'll talk to you about what he wants . . .If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business."
I guess if he follows his own words than the only way he can 'FIRE' himself is to resign. But, if he did that he would have told us the truth and we know from past experience that everything he says is misleading.
I don't know which is worse; he continuing to sins and prevaricate or our stupidity in letting him do it over and over!

Rep Cynthia McKinney: Victim or Perpetrator of RACISM?
We live in a society that must rely upon law enforcement to be the 'glue' that holds all the diverse factions of our country into a community that can 'live together' in law and order.
We hold our 'Law Enforcement Officers' to a higher standard of conduct, after all, we give them a high degree of control over all of us and we ARM them'.
The ONLY way we can find fault for their behavior being less than 'that higher standard' is to treat and approach them with repect and deference. Only then can we point out bad behavior, unlawful behavior or behavior that doesn't reach that higher standard without our bad beharior being thrown back in our face and muddy the waters.
Rep. Mckinney was wrong and might have comitted the crime of assult when she allegedly hit the officer with her hand which held a cell phone. If the officer had acted with racism or unprofessional conduct and the Representative had acted in a manner befitting her position as a Representative then all of the Representative's baggage could not be thrown back at her, muddying up the real facts.

Delay is gonna RESIGN!
Shrubs recently resigned House Majority Leader has said yesterday that he will resign his seat in the US House of Representative.
Although he won his Republican primary for reelection, the margin was so close that there was a possibility of losing the seat. The Repubes must really really be running scared of losing control of the House to have him resigned.
Let's see. The House Majority Leader resigned, the Majority Leader of the Senate is under investigation for securities fraud, Jack Abramoff et al at indicted, Shrub lied us into a War that has cost so many lives and limbs, etc.
I'm so glad that Shrub has returned 'dignity and morality' to the Oval Office. Personally, I rather the Prez gets a blow job than our soldiers getting blown up, killed and maimed! But, then again, I'm NOT a rightwing fundamentalist koolaid drinker.

'Straight Talk Express' has DIED at McCain's own hands
McCain Softens Language on Jerry Falwell
Sun Apr 2, 12:59 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Potential presidential candidate John McCain says he longer considers evangelist Jerry Falwell to be one of the "agents of intolerance" that he criticized during a previous White House run.
The Republican senator from Arizona will be the commencement speaker in May at Liberty University, the Lynchburg, Va., institution that Falwell founded in 1971.
"We agreed to disagree on certain issues, and we agreed to move forward," McCain said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
In 2000, as he sought the Republican nomination that eventually went to George W. Bush, McCain said: "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right."
I watched the Senator this past Sunday on 'Meet the Press' and I was thunder-struck with the way this once 'Straight-talker' had become a koolaid drinking, lip-puckering, ass-kissing GOP presidential candidate. Well, if he can kiss off the truth so easily then he can kissoff any support I might have given him.
NO ONE should support someone who would trade honesty and truth for blind ambition!

The problem w/ America according to a GOP Senator
CNN asked GOP Sen. John Cornyn today whether it isn't politically dangerous for the Republicans to be arguing among themselves over immigration reform in the middle of an election year. Blogger Pere Ubu caught the response: "Well, you know," Cornyn said, "that's the problem in America, we're always having elections."
Now we know what troubles the Repubes!

Main Stream Media 'UNFAIR' says BushCo and his crime family
In recent speeches from Shrub and his cohorts they have labeled the Iraqi news coverage as unfair due to mainstream media's non-reporting of the 'good' side of Iraqi happenings. I'm not sure that there is 'good' news to report in a war other than our side is winning it.
Laura Ingraham recently said that the journalists in Iraq should 'get off the hotel balconies' if they really wanted to go out and get the 'REAL' stories. I guess she has forgotten about the 80+ journalists that have been killed in Iraq reporting from non-balcony locations. Shame on her and her ilk for the political spin that dishonors so many.
The President and his Administration would have a better moral leg to stand on if they said 'that the total story in Iraq should be told' and allowed the media to take pictures of the caskets of our Fallen Heroes. Unfortunately Bush is the one who from day 1 wouldn't allow pictures of our War Dead to be taken at Dover Air Force base.
You can't have it both ways Mr. Bush. Either the media has the ability and permission to report ALL the facets of the war or it doesn't.

Don't hate George W. Bush . . . .He is just a 'useful idiot'
Lenin called them "Useful Idiots," the intellectuals, writers, politicians and socialist activists in the West who, while not Party members, they promoted the same ideals as the Bolshevik scheme of world revolution. His successor, Stalin, continued the use of the phrase and today, even after the total collapse of the communist party, the Right-Wing is unrelenting in its use of the term to try to divide and belittle the opposition voice to the President and his neocon cabal.
The Right Wing has its share of useful idiots too. For far too long the term has been used against us and now it is time to unveil the RightWing's biggest 'useful idiot, George W. Bush.
The NeoCons movement, the Israeli Lobby, Globalist, etc needed an electable figure that would be subservient to their will and direction. They picked Shrub and then Cheney picked himself to be the Vice Presidential Nominee. Actually Cheney was the secret President for a considerable time, might even still be calling most of the shots.
George W. Shrub is a failed business man, an under achiever that has only gotten by because of the connections his father has and HIS CONNECTION to his father. Bush is the perfect Puppet for his neocon cabal. He NEVER had an original thought, doesn't keep himself informed, only hears what he want to hear, and intellectually devoid of curiosity about other countries and their people.
If you believe in karma at the hemispheric level, then we as a people will reap that which WE have allowed to be sown in our name.
