WPost's
Editorial Fantasyland
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Fred Hiatt's Washington Post editorial page and
Bush's presidency have a lot in common
- most notably an arrogance of power so extreme
that they believe their very words can alter reality.
With Bush, that record has been well established,
from asserting that Saddam never let the U.N. inspectors
in to hyping progress in the Iraq War. But editorial
page editor Hiatt - in league with Post publisher Donald
Graham - is not far behind.
After Libby's conviction, the Post's lead editorial
continues to manufacture a false history of the case,
again slamming Joe Wilson. The Post pins
much of the blame for the scandal on Wilson, whom the Post
says "will be remembered as a blowhard." The
Post also distorts Wilson's statements in a way that parrots
long-discredited White House talking points.
"Mr. Wilson was embraced by many because he was
early in publicly charging that Bush had 'twisted,'
if not invented, facts in making the case for
war against Iraq," the Post editorial states.
The [Libby] trial has provided convincing evidence
that there was no conspiracy to punish Wilson
by leaking Plame's identity - and no evidence
that she was covert."
Astonishingly, everything in this Post attack
on Wilson is either a gross distortion or a lie.

I disagree with the general.
I wouldn't mind getting a 9-11 warning from a gay person.
"Immoral" is letting our own injured and maimed

Bush in
on Firing of Prosecutors
It's called 'Obstruction of Justice'
Excerpt:
The White House was deeply involved in the decision
late last year to dismiss federal prosecutors,
including some who had been criticized by Republican
lawmakers, administration officials said Monday.
Last October, Bush spoke with Tortureboy Gonzales
to pass along concerns by Republicans that some
prosecutors were not aggressively addressing
voter fraud, the White House admitted Monday. Pete Domenici,
Republican bastard of New Mexico, was among the
politicians who complained directly to the president,
according to an administration official.
Within a few weeks of the president's comments
to the attorney general, the Justice Department
forced out seven prosecutors. Previously, the
White House had said that Mr. Bush's aides
approved the list of prosecutors only after it
was compiled.
They only tell the truth after they've been caught.
How many felonies have these sons of bitches
committed?

Injured troops being sent to Iraq
Excerpt:
"This is not right," said Master Sgt. Ronald
Jenkins, who has been ordered to Iraq even though he
has a spine problem that doctors say would be
damaged further by heavy Army protective gear.
"This whole thing is about taking care of soldiers,"
he said angrily. "If you are fit to fight you are fit to fight.
If you are not fit to fight, then you are not
fit to fight." As the military scrambles to pour more soldiers
into Iraq, a unit of the Army's 3rd Infantry
Division at Fort Benning, Ga., is deploying troops with
serious injuries and other medical problems,
including GIs who doctors have said are medically unfit
for battle. Some are too injured to wear their
body armor, according to medical records."
Every day, Bush & Cheney are more desperate.
They know they've lost but they're lying to themselves that they can
still win.
History will show that truly, Bush was the worst president
ever.
What will America look like when they finally realize that it's all
over?
Hell, what will Earth look like when they finally realize that it's

Disagree with Bush? You're Evil
Excerpt:
Opponents of the war believe passionately that
President Bush, his neoconservative allies and a complicit
Congress deliberately misled the nation into
war. Supporters of the president and the war concede that
mistakes were made, but say this involved no
attempt to hoodwink the nation.
What is interesting about the clash from a psychological
perspective is not that supporters and critics disagree,
but that large numbers of people on both sides
claim to know the motives of people who disagree with them.
We are really bad about putting ourselves in other
people's places and looking at the world the way they look at it,"
says psychologist Glenn D. Reeder. "We find it
difficult to grant that other people come to their conclusions
in good faith if they reach a conclusion that
is different than ours," he said.
...and if their "honest mistakes" put $220
million in their pocket every day - we shouldn't be suspicious?

The Failed Attorney General
Excerpt:
Alberto Gonzales said he understood the difference
between the job he held - Bush's lawyer - and the job
he wanted, which was to represent all Americans
as their chief law enforcement officer and a key defender
of the Constitution. Two years later, it is obvious
Gonzales does not have a clue about the difference.
He has never stopped being consigliere to Bush's
imperial presidency. If anyone, outside Bush's circle
of enablers, still had doubts about that, the
events of last week should have erased them.
First, Gonzales defended the obviously politically
motivated firing of eight United States attorneys, which he
dismissed as an "overblown personnel matter."
Then his inspector general exposed the way the FBI has been
abusing yet another unnecessary new power that
Gonzales helped Bush get in the name of fighting terrorism.
Boy, that's gotta be tough on the Whore Times - dissing their best boy
George and his thugs.
They lied to help him get elected, then they lied to help him hide
his crimes.
Apparently in 2007, they can make more money with the truth than they
can with lies.

Why I Hate
Her
by Michael Corcoran
Excerpt:
Her enabling of the Iraq war disaster,
and her subsequent refusal to apologize for it, has by far been
the left's biggest gripe the presidential candidate,
and understandably so. Her role in enabling this
painfully misguided war is a stain on her record,
and on this country.
I'm starting to detect a sexual thrill from these
wild-ass accusers.
Do you think this Corcoran guy is typing with
one hand?
Ask yourself how stupid it would sound to say,
Cleland's enabling
of the Iraq war disaster,
Biden's enabling
of the Iraq war disaster,
Harken's enabling
of the Iraq war disaster,
Kerry's enabling
of the Iraq war disaster,
Schumers enabling
of the Iraq war disaster,
You see? It's no fun to hold Cleland or Harken
responsible for BUSH's disaster.
But the freshman senator from New York,
SHE's responsible for BUSH's disaster all on her own.
It was HER vote that killed 3200 soldiers
and Cleland, Kerry and Edwards had NOTHING to do with it.
Yep, we're clearing dealing with sex on some level.
If this Corcoran guy isn't playing with himself,
maybe he just hates women?
What else drives a man crazy and makes him ooze
hate with every word?
But her view on Iraq, however unforgivable,
only represents part of the reason why progressives
should oppose a Clinton candidacy with
vigor. And even if she were to get down on her knees and
beg us
to accept her apology to authorize Bush to go
to war, it would be a huge mistake to support her...
Fine, so why do you BEG for that apology each and every day?
Yep, we're clearing dealing with sex on some level.
For some reason, Democrats can't say, "I
prefer Edwards or Obama."
No, that won't do - that would take a measure
of adulthood.
This fever reminds me of the GOP's impeachment
fever back in 1998.
Bill's impeachment was like a rape.
NOTHING was going to stop that impeachment
because they had the fever.
The GOP was "caught up" with impeachment fever
- that's all they could see or hear.
Bill's approval rating was in the 70s - and voters
clearly didn't want him to be impeached,
but like the rapist who can't stop until he climaxes,
it was GOING to happen.
Hell, the GOP lost seats in November of 1998 -
but that didn't matter to them.
NOTHING was going to stop that impeachment
because they had the fever.
They lived and breathed impeachment the way some
people are now living and breathing "Stop
her!"
If you, the reader, like another candidate better
than Hillary, vote for him or her.
But when you get the fever the way this Corcoran
guy's got it, that tells me something.
And you, "I'll
vote Republican before I'll vote for Her,"
Democrats need to worry
because your "Stop
her!" fever is turning you into what the
GOP was in 1998.

'Axis of
Evil' Report Card
by Ray McGovern
Excerpt:
Bush labeled Iraq, Iran and North Korea the ''axis
of evil.'' It is imperative that we try to piece together what
role U.S. intelligence played in supporting the
''axis'' idea and the misguided policies and actions that ensued.
For the ''axis of evil'' sobriquet morphed into
axes for grinding by accomplices like George Tenet, and the
pandering was consequential.
It used to be that presidents made decisions based,
at least in part, on the judgments of the intelligence community.
It was a shock to see that process stood on its
head, with the president asserting a ''grave and growing danger''
and then telling functionaries like Tenet to
conjure up the ''intelligence'' to support his rhetorical flourishes.
We are talking about untruths with tragic consequences.
We were doing OK until; Bush went to sleep (at best) and let Osama hit us.
Then he kicked every hornet's nest he could find, turning North Korea
and Iran
and Iraq into perhaps never-ending problems with perhaps millions dead.
...all so his warmonger friends could cash in and move to Dubai with
our Treasury.

Subject: Eight Prosecutors
A thought just occurred to me. We've got a scandal
because the Bush junta fired eight
US Attorneys who resisted using their offices
to mount partisan "investigations" of Democrats.
So if these eight were fired for NOT mis-using
their offices for partisan purposes,
what does that say about the hundred some other
US Attorneys who didn't get fired?
How many of them DID mis-use their offices for
partisan political vendettas?
Maybe Congress should be looking not only at why
some were fired,
but at what the rest did to keep their jobs.

Subject: FBI's national security letters
Hey, Mr. Bart,
Is anyone surprised that the FBI abused the power
granted to them
by the Abuse of Power Act - I mean Patriot Act?
PBS reported that over 150,00 have been issued
since the incidents in downtown New York
and Washington - on Sept. 11, 2001, I think.
About 70 a day. Some of the abuse involved
promising that they would show the letter to
those of whom they were asking the information,
only to take the info and run.
Although I have to admit things are so much simpler
to understand since everything the U.S.
government does is, by definition, good now that
we have done away with those God-Damned
first ten amendments to the constitution. Without
that pesky impediment, our police forces can
use their divinely-inspired knowledge of who
the bad guys are without worrying about liberal
concepts such as civil rights.
Praise the Official God.

Subject: How To End George's War
Hi Bart,
Here's a letter I'm sending to my Congress critters. What do you think?
"Here are two things Congress can do to end George's
war:
One, tie any and all spending requests to
the revokation of Bush's tax cuts for the rich.
This way, you get to "support the troops" AND
appear fiscally responsible in paying for George's
boondoggle but at the same time put the ball
in George's court as to which is more important to him,
tax cuts for the wealthy or his war.
"The other thing Congress can (and should) do
is REQUIRE that all war costs are accurately
reflected in the budget. Don't let that
lying bastard pretend he's "balanced the budget" by
simply not reporting expenses...
I KNOW, absolutely, these tactics will work.
What I don't know is if rich Senators would
ever eliminate their own tax cuts just because
"insignificant" (read: poor) people are dying in the sand..

Time to
Admit Defeat in Iraq?
by Ivan Eland
Excerpt:
Most analysts suggest removing U.S. troops from
harm's way, pulling them back from major Iraqi population
centers and moving them to outlying areas safer
from the raging civil war - for example, the Iraqi borders, more
remote regions of Iraq, or neighboring countries - while
using those forces to try to prevent the civil conflict from
turning into a regional war.
In general, this is the opposite of the strategy
now being pursued by the administration. The administration is taking
U.S. troops from existing large bases on the
outskirts of Iraqi cities, and quartering them within those cities, so
that
they can be closer to the Iraqi people and the
"bad guys."
