I have 4 extra tickets for the Robbie Knievel daredevil event at Lambeau Field next weekend if anybody wants them.

As you know, Robbie Knievel followed in his dad''''''''s footsteps and is one of the greatest daredevil jumpers of our time.

At this event, he''''''''s going to try to jump 5000 Obama supporters with a bull dozer.

Please let me know by Friday.

Everyone knows the surge has ended. But, McCain says a surge is really part of counterinsurgency strategy. If McCain isn''t BSing, then he''s saying the counterinsurgency strategy is over.

[smirk5]

"A surge is really a counterinsurgency made up of a number of components ... I''m not sure people understand that ''surge'' is part of a counterinsurgency,"
John McCain

John McCain must think the Battle of the Bulge was a counterinsurgency strategy by the Germans in WWII. Funny stuff.

" know many middle eastern people and calling OSAMA ben Bama a derogatory name has nothing to do with my feelings for people of middle eastern descent.

Just so you know that we''''''''re not talking about the naming of a bridge or a new ship, the four provisions of the act which the president is going to ignore are:

* the establishment of a commission to investigate contractor fraud in Afghanistan and Iraq

* the protection for whistleblowers who report contractor fraud from harassment or official retribution

* a requirement that U.S. intelligence agencies respond to Congressional requests for documents

* a ban on funding for any permanent military bases in Iraq, and on any actions that would seek to give the U.S. control over Iraq''''''''s oil resources or oil money.

Are you really so stupid or gullable to believe the junk that you post on here. No such law exists. even if it had been passed by Congress it would never have been signed by the President with those provision in it. Therefore, it is not a law. What you are posting here is a bunch of conspiracy theory BS.

His campaign strategy to act like he is already the President is starting to work. Pretty soon with help of the liberal media everyone will be brain washed to think that he is already the President and forget that he hasn''''t been elected yet. Too bad that the fantasy will have to come to an end in November.

Why, if like you said everyone believes he is president already. We wouldn''t want to unseat a "war president" in the middle of a "war", would we?

Dave Lindorff: Crime of the Century: Time for Congress to Act

Who''''s minding the store in Washington?

While President George W. Bush was standing before the members of Congress on January 28 laying out his plans, such as they are, for the final year of his second term in the White House, he was also seriously and perhaps fatally undermining the authority of Congress with a new signing statement, attached to the latest National Defense Authorization Act, in which he declared that he would simply violate or fail to comply with four provisions.

Let me say that again. The president states in writing that he is not going to obey and will not be bound by four parts of a law duly passed by the Congress.

Just so you know that we''''re not talking about the naming of a bridge or a new ship, the four provisions of the act which the president is going to ignore are:

McLiars 100% commitment to GW Bush, the worst president in US history will cost McSame the election.

[walt1944-2009]

"Bagdad John McBush" McCain is frantically trying to deny meant what he said when he claims the Sunni tribes revolted against Al Qeada as a result of the "urge to SURGE"!

McCain is saying that the "SURGE" actually began a year before the Great Emperor Bush II announced it to Congress, which means that Congress didn''t know a thing about it, even though the Great Emperor was carrying it out.

Of course, not mentioned was that CBS big shots, on hearing McCain''s "SURGE" screw-up, quickly edited out his comment from the interview, another example of "truth and honesty" in journalism (more like in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany!).

Although McCain is sticking with his argument of "that might be what I said, but it''s NOT what I meant" claim, it is rumored that McCain did not have his daily regimen of Geritol that morning and has ordered that capsules of Icelandic Omega 3 fish oil, a can of almonds, and a bowl of blueberries (all rumored to improve memory) be added to his daily Geritol regimen.

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!!
sig heil, ABSOLUTELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!!!!

Part of the Iraq Debate You Will Not See from the Corporate Media:

BBC uncovers lost Iraq billions
By Jane Corbin
BBC News

A BBC investigation estimates that around $23 billion(#11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.

The BBC''s Panorama programme has used US and Iraqi government sources to research how much some private contractors have profited from the conflict and rebuilding.

A US gagging order is preventing discussion of the allegations.

The order applies to 70 court cases against some of the top US companies.

War profiteering

While Presdient George W Bush remains in the White House, it is unlikely the gagging orders will be lifted.

To date, no major US contractor faces trial for fraud or mismanagement in Iraq.

The president''s Democratic opponents are keeping up the pressure over war profiteering in Iraq.

Henry Waxman, who chairs the House committee on oversight and government reform, said: "The money that''s gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, it''s egregious.

"It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history."

In the run-up to the invasion, one of the most senior officials in charge of procurement in the Pentagon objected to a contract potentially worth $7bn that was given to Halliburton, a Texan company which used to be run by *** Cheney before he became vice-president.

Unusually only Halliburton got to bid - and won.

Missing billions

The search for the missing billions also led the programme to a house in Acton in west London where Hazem Shalaan lived until he was appointed to the new Iraqi government as minister of defence in 2004.

He and his associates siphoned an estimated $1.2bn out of the ministry. They bought old military equipment from Poland but claimed for top-class weapons.

Meanwhile they diverted money into their own accounts.

Judge Radhi al-Radhi of Iraq''s Commission for Public Integrity investigated.

He said: "I believe these people are criminals.

"They failed to rebuild the Ministry of Defence, and as a result the violence and the bloodshed went on and on - the murder of Iraqis and foreigners continues and they bear responsibility."

Mr Shalaan was sentenced to two jail terms but he fled the country.

He said he was innocent and that it was all a plot against him by pro-Iranian MPs in the government.

There is an Interpol arrest warrant out for him but he is on the run - using a private jet to move around the globe.

He stills owns commercial properties in the Marble Arch area of London.

Republicons stuck with their pathetic flip flopper pick in John McCain. But, look at who they had to choose from


PATHETIC!

Picking on McCains daily gaffs is starting to resemble the ''clubbing''of Alberto Gonzales, you begin to feel pity for them after a while.
