Nearly six in 10 Americans say the United States should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq, a new Gallup Poll finds, the most downbeat view of the war since it began in 2003. Bush says progress has been made in fighting the insurgency, but a timetable for reducing the deployment of nearly 140,000 U.S. troops has yet to be made.
Patience for the war has dropped sharply as optimism about the Iraqi elections in January has ebbed and violence against U.S. troops hasn’t abated. For (…)

3 commentsLet’s consider an item from the news of about two weeks ago:
A British citizen leaked a memo to London’s Sunday Times. The memo was of the written account of a meeting that a man named Richard Dearlove had with the Bush administration in July 2002. Dearlove was the head of the England’s MI-6, the equivalent of the CIA. On July 23, 2002, Dearlove briefed Tony Blair about the meeting. He said that Bush was determined to attack Iraq.

2 commentsHow America’s Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up BY CARL BERNSTEIN
In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.
Alsop is one of more than (…) -
End the charade
14 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
The cognitive dissonance required to believe the Bush administration is approaching critical mass. Some semblance of victory in the War on Method has been declared at least four times that I recall, and yet American troops are still being murdered on a weekly basis in free and democratic Iraq.
The armed forces are now reduced to lying about who killed its poster boys, putting its own troops on trial and revising its recruitment targets to disguise the fact that no amount of media (…) -

Video-WMP only
"It’s tempting in the flurry of minutes and memos and articles to get so wrapped up in the story that you forget exactly who the story is about. It’s not about impeaching the President. It’s not about Republicans and Democrats. It has, and always will be, about them. About those heroes who sacrificed and trusted their government. About those with brave hearts who cannot speak now from the grave. (…) -

"CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS"
However, the "pols" are attempting what they strangely perceive as necessary "damage control" such that (…)
