more allotment for churches on every corner in america...ha,ha,ha.
more corporate welfare...

- "[Bush] proposed keeping the [General Petraeus'' report on Iraq] behind closed doors... For their part, Petreaus and Crocker "appeared to be puzzled" by Bush''s proposal. They have "said repeatedly that they plan to testify after delivering private assessments to Bush."
Why puzzled ?
General Petraeus won''t be revealing any military secrets.
Bush is just scared shirtless that the report might reveal a little too much bad news. He doesn''t want any unfavorable publicity.
What''s so puzzling about that ? - Reply to this comment

Thanks, if we can''t laugh at republicans then who can we laugh at? Besides it''s either make fun of them and hope they get laughed out of power or cry when you see the damage they''ve done to our country, our rights, our freedom and to our younger generation who are dying because of them. Sometimes you have laugh to avoid bursting into tears. - Reply to this comment
- Isn''t this how Bush operates? He uses people and then discards them when he doesn''t need them no longer.
Katherine Harris comes to mind!
However I can hardly wait for The White House Report in September.
I just know we hear the Truth and nothing but the Truth! NOT - Reply to this comment
- "Take the case of Richard Slater. For $550 a month, less than on tenth the going rate in his hometown of Las Vegas, he lives in his own cottage in a retirement community, "surrounded by purple bougainvilla and pomegranate trees," get 24-hour nursing care and three meals a day. He has satellite television, so he doesn''t miss American news or programs, and has American neighbors. When he wants to go downtown, a cab ride is $3."
The above is one of the main reasons my wife and I are retiring to Mexico. The climate is beautiful, the people are friendly and the living in cheap. Move to a seaside village, get a satellite dish for the TV and Internet and relax. Spend about $400 a month on a small apartment with sunset views of the Pacific and sip the good tequila that they don''t send North to the gringo''s who don''t know any better. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! - Reply to this comment
- Posted by CitizenUSA at 03:42 PM : Aug 16, 2007 Ever since he was a little boy all he talked about was being a marine we hoped he would grow out of it but it just got more pronounced as he grew and grew and then the recruiters go to the high schools and that was it.I begged him to go to college first and join after college but it was almost like a obsession he so precious and He is no better than any of those boys fighting today you just hate to see him see such carnage . I hope I''m not wrong and being selfish I will support his decision and if it is what he wants I am behind him all the way.

- I''m not much of a history buff, but I thought our Constitution ensured "checks and balances". How then, did one man "the Decider" (embarrassing), amass so much power without being pulled back? How did this happen? Can it happen again? If so, shouldn''t we as citizens demand an amendment to the Constitution that limits the amount of unfettered power our president can wield?

You certainly hit the nail on the head that is what Bush is doing. This Patraeus seems to me to speak his mind and I believe he will go to Congress and tell it like it is if Bush doesn''t muzzle him - Reply to this comment

- starleo, I am sorry to hear your grandson joined. I''m curious. Why did he join now? Why not wait until this dangerous administration is history? My prayers will be with him. (Perhaps a miracle will happen and the Dems will have the power to stop this "occupation" before the election (or impeachment) whichever comes first).

They were here, but it''''s feeding time at the RNC propaganda headquarters (Rove''''s basement) so they''''re all at the pig trough fighting for their fair share of the slop.

- yeah, bush is responsible for much death and destruction.
another southerner, lyndon johnson, wasted many lives for a dishonorable war.
another southerner, jefferson davis, is responsible for much american blood and treasure lost.
all southerners, all christians, all snakes...
slave state losers.
if you want to win a war... don''t send a southerner to do the job!
ha,ha,ha.

- After the election, Little George is going to need a vacation and his dear daughter is going to need a honeymoon spot. I have a suggestion; why not Bagdad? The weather''s good,it''s exotic, you can sleep to the hum of your beloved oil wells, Halliburton will provide the catering, the cost of living is very very low, and you won''t have to learn a foreign language because most of the area is inhabited by Americans!! What do you say George?..think of it as an "adventure"! (Isn''t that how you sold it to our troops?)

One other thing you said," this is war we should not be responsible for every action, well let me ask you this why are our guys going to prison for shooting they thought were the bad guys and no one over there are punished for shooting our guys. It must be pure H*E*L*L over there. I have a grandson who just joined the Marines and even though I am proud of my sweetheart I live in fear if he goes to Iraq he will not be the same sweet boy he is today he will have seen things young minds like his cannot believe and he will be changed. - Reply to this comment

- [It is WAR! If we were to pull out now, all gains would be lost. While it is not our job to police the world, we jumped into this. If our troops were allowed to do what is necessary we could end this war.
[Posted by au_fait at 02:33 PM : Aug 16, 2007]
was war declared?
i thought the ''mission was accomplished'' way back when.
it''s an occupation of a country that we have no business being in ... and that presence is the single largest contributor to the rising level of terrorism and hatred against the united states and it''s interests.
these unilateral actions are the biggest foreign policy disaster in our history ... and it''s fueling a new arms race in the region and elsewhere.
this presidency has been a complete failure ... and all those who stand by defending this *** are as responsible for it as the idiots who perpetrated it. - Reply to this comment

WHAT GAINS?????Please tell me what gains. We have not gained anything we lost more than we will ever have gained from this miserable fiasco and if you see a gain please tell us all for I feel you are living under an illusion. Do you think any of us want to say this you are wrong, but this is not anything we can fix any more, The White House has handled all this without the proper authorities all there secret control and it is there burden to fix it, but they will not, so here we are. No war has ever been fought like this the people we are fighting have no uniforms we don''t know who the enemy is over there the cowards plant IED''s and our government can''t get a patrol humvee(MRAP) that can withstand that to help the troops, we have almost 250 troops so far committing suicide no troop was meant to see there buddy''s leggs get blown off or there brains blown up, what are we doing about that, nothing, nothing you go fight and say we made gains better yet take Bush and Cheney with you. I am more upset how he treats our troops more than anything. - Reply to this comment

Terror, oil and the "shadow government"
In this exclusive excerpt from his powerful new book, The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press), UC Berkeley professor emeritus Peter Dale Scott
Meanwhile, the BBC heard from State Department insiders that planning for regime change in Iraq %u201Cbegan %u2018within weeks%u2019 of Bush%u2019s first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the U.S.%u201D45 The administration%u2019s concern for controlling oil in the Middle East intermingled with strategic concerns in the area, especially with increasing uncertainty about the future of U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia. The White House was also impressed by the report of an AEI-based discussion group, commissioned by Paul Wolfowitz, that a strategy to deal with Middle East terrorism would require two generations of conflict, in which %u2018Iran is more important. . . . But Saddam Hussein was . . . weaker, more vulnerable.%u2019%u201D46

no. they''ve been conditioned that they can do whatever they want and nobody can stop them ... or at least ... nobody is willing to.
somebody should stop them ... cause they''re not going to on their own. - Reply to this comment
