  • "It was worth it"..They died in the line of what?

    On his visit to Iraq this week George Bush took the time to tell everyone that the fight in Iraq, with all it’s carnage, was...as he so nobly put it, "Worth It" **********************************
    Nobody really knows exactly how many US and coalition troops were killed or wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq since military actions commenced, but the numbers are staggering. Not many media pundits, much less our distinguished El Presidente and staff, take the time to comment on the cost of human (…)

  • Zarqawi’s DNA?

    I have a question about Zarqawi’s DNA. As C.S.I. fans we know that it takes two samples of DNA to confirm someone’s identity! So where did our government get the comparitive DNA sample? From his hairbrush? Perhaps his hooka pipe? Do Terrorists provide a DNA sample as a matter of entry into the War On Terror? Or, in a careless moment, did he sip tea from a paper cup and discard it, allowing our government agents to retrive it? If so, how did they know where he was and how long have they (…)

    The guy retired after 31 years so he could blow the whistle, The incompetency he describes reminded me of Katrina
    By Maj. Gen. John Batiste (retired) The Salt Lake Tribune Friday 09 June 2006
    There is a direct link between the alleged atrocities in Haditha and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. His poor decisions and bad judgment in 2003 and 2004 are the root causes for the prolonged challenge we now face. Haditha is but a symptom of a much bigger problem.

    Fitzgerald explained that his investigation should not be interpreted as a vindication of a political point of view. I’d recommend reviewing his October, 2005 press conference.
    Even if indicted, Rove would have faced crimes that had nothing to do with his political point of view or his notorious style as a Republican political guru, and everything to do with his breaking the law.
    The facts surrounding the Plame case are still far from resolved, so it would be pre-mature to assume (…)

    Sorry boys and girls .... No Fitzmas in July or December- or ever ...... The blogosphere that has so shamefully promoted Demigod Pat Fitzgerald has been hoisted on their own petard ..... It’s time for them to grow up .... There ain’t no Santa and there ain’t no Fitzmas ..... The toys are not going to arrive ..... We’re stuck with a lump of coal - in the form of a ridiculous bill of indictment leveled against Scapegoat Irving Lewis Scooter’ Libby .... Allegedly , Irving didn’t fess up (…)

    (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) You may talk ’o drugs and booze and elections you can’t lose and your Congress that has sold out all the way, and when it comes to slaughter of Iraqi son and daughter there are none to rival you, "war man" today! Now is White House oval room where you plan our nation’s doom your cohorts guarantee our hopes are slim... and of all the slimey crums, and the host of sleazy bums, you are surely most obnoxious, Dubya-Dim!

In 2004, Zeese served as Nader’s press secretary. (2)

    Comments on Greg Palast’s New Book Armed Madhouse - by Stephen Lendman
    I’ve known about and followed Greg Palast’s important work for some time. I read his eye-opening book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy a few years ago and have mentioned it several times in some of my other writing. Greg is one of the most important and exhaustively thorough investigative journalists anywhere, which is especially important at a time when that kind of effort is needed more than ever. I knew he had a (…)

    · Annan’s British deputy criticises administration · US envoy calls comments ’a very, very grave mistake’
    by Oliver Burkeman
    The deputy secretary-general of the United Nations was last night accused of making "a very, very grave mistake" after calling the Bush administration hypocrites who were feeding a right-wing anti-UN frenzy in middle America.
    Washington’s ambassador to the UN responded with undisguised fury to a speech by Mark Malloch Brown, the deputy secretary-general, in which (…)
