    BUSH SARCASM AT ITS FINEST
    By Peter Fredson
    March 20, 2006
    I saw a news item an hour ago which gave me great amusement. The headline read:
    US wants new Belarus poll The story said: “The United States does not accept results of the Belarus election and believes the campaign that re-elected President Alexander Lukashenko was conducted in a ‘”climate of fear’", the White House said today.’”
    What a coincidence. I was thinking exactly the same thing about (…)

    Sen. Bob Byrd is frequently identified as the US. Senate’s leading Constitutional Scholar .... Here is what he said of George W. Bush on 10/20/05 : " Americans have been stunned at the recent news of the abuse of power by an overzealous president. It has become apparent that this administration has engaged in a consistent and unrelenting pattern of abuse against our Countries law abiding citizens and against our Constitution...." Well said... Sen. Byrd also wrote a book entitled (…)

  • The Lobby: Why is American policy in the Middle East skewered in favor of Israel?
    20 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    American foreign policy has been weighed down for all too many years by an albatross hung round Uncle Sam’s neck, one that distorts our stance especially vis-à-vis Middle Eastern issues and ultimately works against U.S. interests in the region and around the world: that albatross is unconditional support for the state of Israel. Of course, saying this amounts to a hate crime in today’s political atmosphere, and it is almost impossible to criticize the Jewish state without being accused of (…)

    A UN General Assembly vote on establishing the new Human Rights Council is a fairly devastating comment on current US global prestige as well as the effectiveness of diplomacy as practiced by US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton.
    The vote to replace the largely discredited Commission on Human Rights with the new council was 170-4, with the United States,
    Israel, the Marshall Islands and Palau voting against the resolution and with three abstentions.
    While the US has said much about the (…)

    Nuclear Bunker Buster Bombs againt Iran: Madness
    Stephen M. Osborn
    The latest information I have had from the followers of Bush is that he has demanded and received permission to use nuclear “bunker busters” in Iran in a preemptive strike. As a nuclear veteran (Operation Redwing, Bikini, 1956) I can affirm that this is absolute madness. The “bunker buster” is a cute sounding name for a nuclear horror. Air bursts are horrible enough, doing incredible destruction through heat, shock and (…)

    NEW BUSH STRATEGY FOR VICTORY
    By Peter Fredson
    March 20, 2006
    George W. Bush, trying hard to please the American public, seems to have hit upon a brilliant idea to revive the fading polls of his popularity. He has decided to give a speech, perhaps two or three or a dozen. In this way he can try through soporific means, to lull the public and give them a look inside of his fantasy life. It worked well several years ago, and his polls shot up several points.
    It is true that he has (…)

    The Neoconservative/ ’Progressive’ /DLC bloggers and certain ’kept’ journos , all the usual suspects, are rallying behind Dicktator Cheney and his ward Master Bush , employing the Wait til Next Year Strategery ... The BS line goes as follows ...... Don’t challenge the two usurpers until next year - after the Dems retake control of the House.... Such BULLSH*T !..... Why ? Hophead Rush Limbaugh may stir up the GOP base in the months leading up to the midterms by casting Resident (…)

    Nancy Pelosi says No Plan for Iraq is a good thing. Does this make any sense coming from the "opposition" "leader"?
    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday ( Jan 06) that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq.. differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.
    That’s the opposition leader in the house.

    John Kerry- the man who was fighting to take back America (…)

    Let’s face it, in just 2 1/2 years George Bush will begin constrution on his own Presidential Museum, and he’ll be desperately needing some main feature for the school children and "scholars" of future generations to study.
    I suggest a feature length video, edited from TV coverage,designed to show our "noble" president in the very best light.
    Just as we rewrote American history for the school kids in the past (many textbooks from the 30s and 40s remain essentially unchanged to this (…)
