By Walter Brasch July 5, 2006 Let’s pretend it’s dinner time, and you’ve just developed a sudden craving for Mexican food. Yesterday, it was Chinese. Tomorrow it may be Italian. But today, it’s Mexican.

    This War Is Based On Denial The Reality Beneath The Flag-Waving By Paul Craig Roberts July 04, 2006 Americans who get their propaganda from Fox "News" or are told what to think by right-wing talk radio hosts are outraged at news reports that US troops planned and carried out the rape and murder of a young Iraqi woman. They are not outraged that the troops committed the deed; they are outraged that the media reported it. These "conservatives," who proudly wear their patriotism on their (…)

    FOREIGN POLICY: Are Americans getting an accurate picture of what’s going on in Iraq?
    Rod Nordland: It’s a lot worse over here [in Iraq] than is reported. The administration does a great job of managing the news. Just an example: There was a press conference here about [Abu Musab al] Zarqawi’s death, and somebody asked what role [U.S.] Special Forces played in finding Zarqawi. [The official] either denied any role (…)

    The Terrorism Index By FOREIGN POLICY & The Center For American Progress July/August 2006
    Is the United States winning the war on terror? Not according to more than 100 of America’s top foreign-policy hands. They see a national security apparatus in disrepair and a government that is failing to protect the public from the next attack. Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans understandably rallied around the flag. Having just suffered the deadliest attack ever on (…)

    Even Bush’s Crap Is Classified Top Secret Wayne Madsen Report
    July 4, 2006 — Even Bush’s crap is classified top secret. According to our Austrian sources, Austrian newspapers are currently abuzz with special security details of George W. Bush’s recent trip to Vienna. Although the heavy-handed Gestapo-like security measures meted out to Viennese home owners, business proprietors, and pedestrians by US Secret Service agents and local police before and during Bush’s visit received widespread (…)

    What Secret? By Larry C Johnson Wednesday, 05 July 2006 at 13:40 (Cross Posted at RawStory.com)
    If you still labor under the fantasy that the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal divulged "classified information" that put U.S. lives at risk or hampered our ability to track terrorist financial assets, you are willfully ignorant or have been living in a sensory isolation tank.

    Super Bush is a non-fictional superhero, in the Neocomic Universe, created by the members of the PNAC, he has become the world’s most infamous, enduring yet comical superheroes.

  • bin Laden? Bush: I don’t think about him much...and now, neither does the CIA

    I think we all know that Bush believed that bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. At least that’s what he kept saying for months on end back in 2002-3. Then the CIA revealed a tape by bin Laden which they declared legitimate, showing bin Laden in a group, talking about the success of the 9/11 attack (not actually admitting it). Bush was always saying "We’ll run him down, smoke him out, and bring him to justice"..and then "Wanted...dead or alive".
    Well, as you all know by now the CIA just (…)

    Cindy Sheehan is on a hunger strike at the mall in Washington DC and she needs company!
    Look at this beautiful park. Doesn’t this look like the perfect place for an extended protest?
    "I often get told that I should "love America, or leave it." This is ridiculous logic and empty rhetoric. I love the country that I was born in and I love Americans. I am an American and so are my children. Casey was born and died a fine American who was abused by the same leaders that are abusing the (…)
