Fatal Flaws
of Bush's 'Tough-Guy-ism'
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
George W. Bush has guided the United States into
an interminable war in Iraq based on a philosophy
of "tough-guy-ism." The approach holds that the
only acceptable outcome to a war is American "victory"
-- and that all other results, from Vietnam to
Somalia, were a failure of will. Bush's backers put this
vision on display during the March 23 war spending
debate, but the historical narrative has some fatal flaws.
Even worse, Bush is the typical school yard bully.
He's never been in a fight that wasn't fixed from the start.

"To those on the other side of the aisle who
are opposed, I ask you the same questions that my gunner
asked me when I was leading a convoy up and
down Ambush Alley one day. He said, 'Sir, what are we
doing over here? What's our mission? When
are these Iraqis going to come off the sidelines and fight
for their own country?' So to my colleagues
across the aisle - your taunts about supporting our troops
ring hollow if you are still unable to answer
those questions now four years later."

The Media's
Castration for Bush
"We do it all for you, George!"
Excerpt:
Freedom of the press is therefore a non-negotiable,
fundamental prerequisite for a functional democracy.
But since 2000, in the most secretive, media-hostile
administration in our nation's history, the mainstream media
has been neutered like a six-month old Labrador.
It's allowed the Busheviks to rape the constitution with impunity,
making a mockery of our sacred rule of law and
turning the United States into a near Monarchy. As anyone who
watches a White House press conference can attest
to, the press fears speaking out against Bush, who has gotten
a free pass for six years now despite having
a presidency wrought with lies, corruption and miserable failure. And it's
Americans who suffer as a result. If not for
the advent of blogging and the power of 'netroots reporting, Bush would
truly be king, and our citizenry would be completely
ignorant of the truth.
When the whore media went after Clinton's zipper 24/7, they said, "We
have a right to know."
Then Bush came along and we didn't even have a right to know how many
felonies he had.
This story has it right - if not for the Innertubes, ALL our news would be approved by Karl Rove.
You can't say it often enough - "Fuck the press."

The problem... and Lou Dobbs on CNN said this

to make Rove and Miers testify, is that the Justice
Department will need to do that.
Bush has Gonzales in his pocket, so they will
never be issued.
Bush has the Supreme Court in his pocket as well.

Tim, that can't be right.
Even if it's somehow technically right, all the democrats would have

"Bush is blocking the subpoenas so we can't

Caught Like
a Chicken in a Tractor's Nutz
Documents show Gonzales guilty, Bush says "That's OK with
me"
Excerpt:
The White House reaffirmed support Saturday for
our crooked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
while Democrats questioned his credibility for
misrepresenting his role in firing eight federal prosecutors.
Critics said the latest document disclosure -
more than 280 pages of e-mails, calendar notations and
other documents sent to Congress late Friday
- prove what a guilty bastard he is.
Gonzales has said he participated in no discussions
and saw no memos about plans to carry out the firings
that were obviously politically motivated. His
schedule, however, shows he attended at least one hourlong
meeting, on Nov. 27, where he approved a detailed
plan to execute the prosecutors' firings.
Y'know, "Trust me, I'd never lie to you"
doesn't work very well after you've been caught
lying again and again and again and again and again.

The reviews only grew more savage when Gore
crossed over to the Senate Environment and Public Works
Committee in the afternoon for a second hearing.
"You've been so extreme in some of your expressions that
you're losing some of your own people," barked
Jim Inhofe (Okla.), the committee's ranking Republican and
the man who has called man-made global warming
"the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."
Inhofe informed Gore that scientists are "radically
at odds with your claims." Displaying a photograph of icicles
in Buffalo, Inhofe demanded: "How come you
guys never seem to notice it when it gets cold? . . . Where is
global warming when you really need it?"
Inhofe thinks that icicles in Buffalo means there
is no global warming.
Is it really possible to be this stupid?

Four Generals covered up Tillman's death
Excerpt:
A Pentagon investigation will recommend that
nine officers, including up to four generals, be held accountable for
"missteps" [That
means f-ing lying about what happened] in
the aftermath of the "friendly fire" death of Army Ranger
Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, senior defense officials
said Friday.
Dozens of soldiers - those immediately around
Tillman at the scene of the shooting, his immediate superiors and
high-ranking officers at a command post nearby
- knew within minutes or hours that his death was fratricide.

I Beg Your Pardon?
Excerpt:
Libby was afforded all of the constitutional
protections possible. He was tried in a court of law, was provided
"due process" and was tried by an impartial jury
of his peers. As a result of this, he was found guilty. Now he
faces up to twenty-five years in prison for his
crimes. Had Libby simply told the truth in the beginning, this
discussion would be moot. How can we ask a federal
prosecutor to ignore obstructing justice and multiple
lies to a grand jury?
As a result of this verdict, many Libby supporters
are calling upon President Bush to pardon him.
Who are they really trying to protect with this
call for a pardon? What are they trying to hide?
Libby appears to value the "blood oath" he swore
to Cheney and Bush more than his oath to American.
This is not a government; the Bush administration
is operating more like a South Central LA gang,
"blood in, blood out," or the Mafia, "you never

Mystery
of the Missing Meters - Who knew?
Accounting for Iraq's Oil Revenue
Excerpt:
The line of ships at the Al Basra Oil Terminal
(ABOT) stretches south to the horizon.
Close by, two more tankers fill up at the smaller
Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminal (KAAOT).
Guarding both terminals are dozens of heavily-armed
U.S. Navy troops and Iraqi Marines.
Heavily armed soldiers spend their days at the
oil terminals scanning the horizon looking for
suicide bombers and stray fishing dhows (boats).
Meanwhile, right under their noses, smugglers
are suspected to be diverting an estimated billions
of dollars worth of crude onto tankers because
the oil metering system that is supposed monitor
how much crude flows into and out of ABOT
and KAAOT - has not worked since the March 2003
U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Officials blame the four-year delay in repairing
the relatively simple system on "security problems."
Others point to the failed efforts of the two
U.S. companies hired to repair the southern oil fields,
fix the two terminals, and the meters: Halliburton
and Parsons of Pasadena, California.
Gee, you mean Bush is stealing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of oil each day?
Boy, you can bet the US media will be all over this biggest-theft-in-history,
right?

Subject: Worst President Ever on the Pentagon March 17
Today we slogged through the mud for the duration
of the march and the very unpleasant police force
who refused to allow our bus to come in and pick
us up. One of our number, a 22 year old girl, was
traumatized by a police brutality act in front
of her eyes (man struggling on the ground at the bridge site
above the North Pentagon parking lot who was
maced continuously). This brave young woman tried to
bring this atrocity to the attention of the speakers
on stage, but they just droned on and ignored her pleas
for attention. The Virginia State Police
were out there in droves and riot gear. It was overkill for a rather
smaller crowd than was expected.
Along the route there was actually a presence
from the Pro-War contingent. We spoke with a woman at
Constitution Gardens who was denied access through
the park areas (we didn't even try - some of the areas
looked so intimidating we walked around and we
had 17 with us) but these were two middle aged ladies
alone and they were hit and this lady showed
us her wound on her leg where she was attacked for walking
into a public park. The police did nothing
to protect her.
This march was such a challenge to begin with.
It was such a cold day and the grounds throughout were
spongy and muddy. I have mud on my jeans
up to my knees from walking, and probably ruined a pair of
shoes because I wanted to demonstrate in black
(Johhny Cash anti-Vietnam statement - I usually protest in black).
The pigs like those who attacked the women were
stationed also at Arlington Cemetary. They insulted us
by posting a sign near my family burial grounds
that called us traitors. I almost lost it at that point.
We buried my father on this date in 1993.
Why do these people think they are the only ones to
represent the veterans? My friends supported
me.
A few of our numbers got to meet Cindy Shehan
and had their pictures taken with her. One of our group,
Duncan, has been a loyal follower of hers for
a long time and has been protesting with her when she comes to our area.
Later when we went to the speeches (Answer always
has loads of radical pant loads to drone on and on)
We met a lovely couple from upper New York state.
Their son Shannon is in Bagdad serving and they wanted
to come out and protest against the war.
I thanked them for their son's service and told them that their family
is my family, since my brother who was a Vietnam
vet. They are active in local peace and impeachment
movements in their area. I remember from this
why I was there and putting up with all this shit,
its for Shannon, their son in Iraq.

When will Bush's Fredo get whacked?
Excerpt:
Frank Rich points out the "Jekyll-and-Hyde contrast"
between President Bush's perfunctory remarks
on the fourth anniversary of Iraq and his genuine
passion the next day when defending Alberto Gonzales.
Rich goes on to suggest that for the last ten
years, Bush and Gonzales have worked to protect each other
from unseemly revelations -- ranging from Bush's
drunk driving conviction and Gonzales's relationship with
Enron to 9/11 and the Plame outing. The attorney
firings, Rich believes, are just one more piece in the pattern.
The president's wild overreaction is revealing.
So far his truculence has been largely attributed to
his slavish loyalty to his White House supplicants.
But the fierceness of Bush's response -- to the
ludicrous extreme of forbidding transcripts of
congressional questioning of White House personnel
-- indicates there is far more fire to go with
all the Beltway smoke.

Spotlight on Enron's law firm
Excerpt:
Alberto Gonzales enjoys a reputation for covering
George W. Bush's back.
In 1996, for example, Gonzales, as Bush's general
counsel, managed to get the then-Texas governor
excused from jury duty, thus saving Bush from
having to disclose a 1976 arrest for drunk driving.
Bush rewarded Gonzales' loyalty by subsequently
appointing him Texas' secretary of state and then to
the Texas Supreme Court. And today, Gonzales
is still watching Bush's flank as White House counsel.

Gore wrote the legislation that allowed the internet to happen.
Because he refused to defend himself in 2000, that turned the phrase
