    My fellow ’mericans, worldwide citizens and other people.
    In just weeks, sometime around November, The Untied States will be holdin’ erections which are vital to everyone. We must remember the lessons of 9/11. (heh heh).
    The world is wathin’ us as we make up our minds about the war on terror. We must stay the course, hang in there, and fight the good and noble and brave and courageous and endless war against those evil ones who attacked us from Iraq on 9/11. I never said there was any (…)

  • Confronting the "Cut and Run" Slander of Bush’s Praetorian Guard

    With elections but little more than a month away, President Bush’s do-nothing Republican majority in both houses of Congress is up for grabs. And, thus, so is a genuine investigation into the Bush administration’s lies, deceit and crimes concerning Iraq — especially its "Chicken Little" clamoring about weapons of mass destruction and ties to al Qaeda that, as we would learn later, didn’t actually exist.
    Also requiring investigation, however, is the extraordinary (…)

  • A Portrait of the President as the Victim of His Own Certitude

    By MICHIKO KAKUTANI
    In Bob Woodward’s highly anticipated new book, “State of Denial,” President Bush emerges as a passive, impatient, sophomoric and intellectually incurious leader, presiding over a grossly dysfunctional war cabinet and given to an almost religious certainty that makes him disinclined to rethink or re-evaluate decisions he has made about the war. It’s a portrait that stands in stark contrast to the laudatory one Mr. Woodward drew in “Bush at War,” his 2002 book, which (…)

    "A senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said in an interview that Bush essentially got what he asked for in a different formulation that allows both sides [Bush and dissident Republican senators] to maintain their concerns were addressed. ’We kind of take the scenic route, but we get there,’ the official said." —Washington Post

  • A Constitutional Shredding Rounding Up U.S. Citizens

    By MARJORIE COHN
    The Military Commissions Act of 2006 governing the treatment of detainees is the culmination of relentless fear-mongering by the Bush administration since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
    Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, "unlawful enemy combatants."
    Bush & Co. has portrayed the bill as a tough way to deal with aliens to protect us against terrorism. (…)

    "If you, Tony Blair really think that you can pose a challenge to Islam then allow the genuine Islamic movements to speak in your media, in line with your principle of ‘free’ speech, which we hear so much about. Give them an equal voice and show the world how intellectually bankrupt they are. What are you afraid of? Are you not the one who is intellectually enlightened and progressive, like some kind of modern Pharaoh, while we are backward from the period of the 7th century Arabia? This is (…)

    Why Does Al Qaeda Sound Like The DNC?
    Reposted of noplannodirection
    Al Qaeda’s number two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has come out with a taped message for the world and America (just in time for our upcoming elections) which sounds just like DNC talking points:
    “Can’t you [Bush] be honest at least once in your life, and admit that you are a deceitful liar who intentionally deceived your nation when you drove them to war in Iraq,” al-Zawahri said in a portion of the video released by the (…)

    http://www.worldcantwait.net
    YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.
    YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
    YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
    YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving each day (…)

    Should they "stick a fork in us"?
    America is called a "melting pot", but it is not. It’s not melting or merging economically or culturally or politically any more than are the various diverse populations who live together in the British Isles or on the "continent". So it’s really no mystery that a good portion of our citizens aren’t politically aware or educted enough to understand what’s happening right here and now in our homeland.
    In may opinion America is on the edge of total and (…)
