  • CAPITOL KABUKI
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By William Fisher
    Senator Joe Biden has always been a favorite of mine. The Delaware Democrat is one of our most knowledgeable voices in foreign affairs. And he speaks plain English, not John Kerryish Senate-speak.
    Part of Biden’s ‘solution’ to our Iraq problem is his plea to President Bush to ‘level with the American people’. The president, he says, should go on primetime national television and tell us the truth about what’s going on in Iraq, what it means, what’s required of our (…)

  • Karl Rove is a liar
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    In attacking liberals’ reaction to Sept. 11, Bush’s senior advisor once again resorts to McCarthy-style tactics.
    Karl Rove is a liar and a scoundrel. He is not a patriot but a pure partisan, as his own record proved long before now.
    The other night Rove lied about the liberal reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks and again exploited patriotism for narrow partisan advantage in a time of war. He seeks to divert public opinion from the failures of the Bush administration by suppressing dissent, (…)

    I want to thank Liz Burbank for giving me the heads up on this story.
    June 24, 2005
    The stark but informative site Cryptome.org < http://cryptome.org/ > is carrying a story with photos of how a Marine unit gathered the bodies of teenage boys from a soccer field, and rounded up nearby living teenaged boys, and posed them all with weapons that the Marines already had ( http://cryptome.org/bkz/buhriz-kill02.htm ) .
    Before I riff a bit on this, let me suggest we cluster-blog these (…)

  • Iraqi PM is a US puppet- Opposed to US troop withdrawal deadline while Iraqi people want US to leave
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Iraq would like to see United States forces withdraw as soon as feasible, but setting a date for their departure would be a mistake, Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said in an interview published on Friday.
    "We would like to see the withdrawal of American forces as quickly as possible, because the presence of any foreign troops on our land means there is a weakness that we cannot by ourselves control the security situation," Jaafari said in an interview with The Washington Post. (…)

  • BushCo wants you to believe...
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Iraq is Saddam’s fault Iraq bad intel is CIA’s fault Notion that Iaq was buying Uranium from Niger was Britain’s fault. Not listening to Richard Clarke regarding Terrorism’s rise was Clarke’s fault for not being more insistent. 911 and the WTC was Osama’s fault Not scrambling military aircraft on 911 to shoot down the “high jacked” planes was Osama’s fault. Not finding any wreckage or bodies, or even a black box at the Pentagon on 911 was - the fault of .... Somebody. The Anthrax scare right (…)

  • Bush is Delusional and he HAS NO EXIT PLAN
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday rejected calls for a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq and Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari called on Americans to stand firm as six more U.S. troops were killed.
    "There are not going to be any timetables," Bush said after Oval Office talks with Jaafari. "I have told this to the prime minister. We are there to complete a mission, and it’s an important mission."
    At a news conference, both Bush and Jaafari insisted progress was (…)

  • Bring our troops home

    Every day I see ribbon-shaped bumper stickers bearing the message "Support Our Troops." While most of us clamor to see the latest movie or ride our bikes on the weekends or plan our summer vacations, these bumper stickers remind us that there are American soldiers still fighting in Iraq, and we shouldn’t forget them.
    Each soldier is someone’s father, mother, brother, sister, son or daughter, and while fewer and fewer Americans are paying attention to the war, our troops are still getting (…)
