"I spoke with those individuals, and they assured me they were not involved in this.
  And that's where it stands."
    -- Scotty the Underbear, Oct. 10, 2003, proclaiming Rove and Libby innocent, Link
 

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore
credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the
White house briefing room podium for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of
the senior-most aides in the White House: Rove and Libby. There was one problem. It was not true.
I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the
administration were involved: Rove, Libby, Vheney, Andy Card and the president himself."

Bush's Clever Cognitive Dissonance
  by Robert Parry

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
In a Nov. 15 speech to the right-wing Federalist Society, the President embraced the Constitution's
checks and balances as a vital protection against tyranny. And he demanded that federal judges act
as fair referees, not political or ideological partisans.

To many Americans who have been aghast at Bush's six-plus years of trampling the Constitution,
such pronouncements might represent a textbook case of "cognitive dissonance," a psychological term
describing the uncomfortable tension when one's stated principles are at odds with one's actions.

For Bush, however, this divergence of words from behavior may be closer to the fable of the Emperor's
New Clothes, when the monarch strutted about in invisible garments while his terrified subjects kept quiet
about his nakedness.

In this case, the Washington press corps reported on Bush's speech as if the President
were entirely sincere and left out contradictory facts.

Bush ally Howard loses

 Link

 Excerpt:
Australia's prime minister, John Howard, one of Bush's staunchest allies in Asia, suffered a big-ass defeat
at the hands of the electorate on Saturday, as his Liberal Party-led coalition lost its majority in Parliament.

He will be replaced by Kevin Rudd, the Labor Party leader. "Today Australia looks to the future," Rudd told
a cheering crowd in Queensland. "Today the Australian people have decided that we as a nation will move forward."

Howard's defeat follows that of José María Aznar of Spain, who also backed Bush's bloody invasion and
political setbacks for Tony Blair, who stepped down as Britain's prime minister in June. ear
 

So Bush has lost three poodles?

The pro-war Bushie will lose anywhere they have free elections.
If we had free elections here, Gore would be ending Year Seven about now.

Subject: Dead soldiers

Bart:

I believe that it was actually announced (very quietly) that the only soldiers counted as "war casualties"
are the ones who actually die on the battlefield.  Even if the soldier only makes it as far as the nearest
aid station, he's not part of the death count.

Now, it becomes very easy to manipulate numbers with those kind of rules.  Harrah's Tahoe does it all the time.
They have a policy that "nobody dies at Harrah's."  If someone in the casino dies on the floor from a heart attack,
the ambulance drivers are pre instructed to put on an oxygen mask and begin CPR.

Then they will release word that he died at, or "on the way" to the hospital.
I wonder how many of our troops have been handled in such a fashion.

20,000 more vet brain injuries

 Link

 Excerpt:
At least 20,000 U.S. troops who were not classified as wounded in Bush's quagmire have been found
with signs of brain injuries, according to military and veterans records compiled by USA TODAY.

The data, provided by the Army, Navy and Department of Veterans Affairs, show that about five times
as many troops sustained brain trauma as the 4,471 officially listed by the Pentagon through Sept. 30.
These cases also are not reflected in the Pentagon's official tally of wounded, which stands at 30,327.

The number of brain-injury cases were tabulated from records kept by the VA and four military bases
that house units that have served multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.  One base released its
count of brain injuries at a medical conference. The others provided their records at the request of
USA TODAY, in some cases only after a Freedom of Information Act filing was submitted.
 

They're lying about the costs of this war - and anyone who asks a question doesn't "support the troops."
They're lying about the financial cost of this mess and they're lying about the number of dead and wounded, too.

Bombing Hiroshima
  by Anthony Gregory

  consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
The 1946 Strategic Bombing Survey determined it had been unnecessary to the winning of the war.
We know that Japan, demoralized from having dozens of cities obliterated in fire bombings, was extending peace feelers.

"The Japanese were ready to surrender," said Dwight Eisenhower, who believed the bomb was "completely unnecessary."
Admiral William D. Leahy, General Douglas MacArthur, and many other high officials at the time agreed.

Japan wanted only to keep its emperor. Understandably, the nation feared the consequences of the unconditional surrender
that Truman and the Allies demanded. They had reason to fear brutalities exceeding the very harsh treatment of Germany
under the Versailles Treaty after World War I, which had come after a mere conditional surrender.

Some have tried to rewrite history and have said that to win the war without nuclear weapons, the U.S. would have had to
invade and suffer intolerable losses, that the atomic bomb "saved a million lives." But there is no reason to doubt that
Japan's cause was lost by mid-1945 - even without an invasion.

Subject: About those 7000 families returning to Baghdad....

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki hails the "return" of "7,000 families" to Baghdad as proof positive
that the "surge" is working, but the reality is that, as Juan Cole points out, the many tens of thousands
who fled to Syria are now being forced by the Syrian government to leave, which explains the great "return."

They're being kicked out of Damascus, and they're not allowed into the U.S.,
so where else are they supposed to go?

Why I hate Hillary... 
 by Pauk Lobe

 Link

 Excerpt:
When Democrats worry about Hillary's electability, they focus on her reenergizing a depressed Republican base
while demoralizing core Democratic activists, particularly those outraged about the war, and thus maybe lose
the election. But there's a further danger if Hillary's nominated--that she will win but then split the Democratic Party.

Wait - so if the front-runner splits the party, we should nominate someone with less support?

Subject: European gas

Bart, you ably responded to a monkey who was talking up
the price of a gallon of gas in America and Britain:

You asked:

> "But the Brits get free health care - we pay $1000 a month for ours.
>   How much do you drive? "

Good answer, but it's even better than that - we don't really have to
do much driving, since we also get pretty good mass transit.

I admit, I still miss being able to get a decent pizza.
But, hey, everything's a trade-off, eh?

ha ha

Anyway, I'm pretty sure high oil prices were exactly what Cheney wanted.

Subject: Dead in the Army

Who would have imagined there could be so many deaths during peacetime?
I guess they don't really "count" though because they weren't war-related under orders from
an illegitimate President in an illegal act of aggression. But still in all, dead-is-dead in the Army.
That's some kinda dangerous job, huh?

Bush's war year in 2004 had less military deaths than Jimmy Carter's peace time year in 1980.
Clinton had 3 years over 1000 W has had only 2 years over 1000 (during a war).

Peter, that web site is a giant handjob - it's a joke.
First, I don't believe those numbers for a second.
Clinton lost 18 soldiers that Bush sent to Somalia - no more.
Plus, this handjob site quoted John Edwards as saying,

"Pretty soon we're not going to have a young African-American male population in America.
Of course we could have all African-American women sterilized to correct the problem even before it starts."

John Edwards has never been that stupid, but Bill Bennett is, and it was Bennett who said that.

How much Exxon pays for oil

 Link

 Excerpt:
Oil is selling for nearly $100 a barrel. Gasoline is near $3 a gallon. Oil companies are swimming in cash.
But these record-high prices are both a boom and a burden for Big Oil.

Big oil companies refine more crude than they produce. That means they must buy crude to refine at
market prices, which are now at record highs. Gasoline prices, meanwhile, have only made modest gains.

To be sure, producing the stuff has made big money for big oil over the last few years.
Although it costs a lot less than $90 a barrel to pump, it's still not as cheap as you'd think.

The world's cheapest oil to extract comes from Saudi Arabia and costs $2 a barrel.  But that oil,
over 8 million barrels a day, is pumped mostly by the Saudis and is largely off-limits to Western oil firms.

For Western firms, it can cost as little as $5 to $7 a barrel to pump.
 

If you read the article, they have a bunch of hooey about poor Exxon and their costs,
but it's all a shell game to make the prices go higher.

Sometimes Exxon pays retail, sometimes they buy wholesale.
And as long as they can foggy up the bookkeeping, they can claim the cheap oil
cost them a lot to acquire and ka-ching, the monopoly money gushes in faster.

Nobody is as greedy as an oil man.
That's how Bush got 4,000 soldiers killed.

Bush Pushes Pakistan to the Brink
 by Ivan Eland

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
How did the Bush administration help create this mess?

It all started in 2002. The Bush administration decided U.S. forces should stay and occupy
Afghanistan after their successful invasion to oust the radical Islamist Taliban movement from power.

Meddling in and occupation of Muslim lands by non-Muslims is what drives Islamists to violent acts
- guerrilla warfare and terrorism. For example, American support for the corrupt Saudi Arabian regime,
and U.S. military presence in holiest lands of Islam, led Osama bin Laden to launch his terrorist campaign.

I'll bet 90 percent of Americans don't even know that's true.
Bush keeps saying, "They hate us for our freedom" and the whore media agrees with that crap.

Similarly, continued occupation of Afghanistan and the failed attempt to eradicate opium have led
to Afghan disillusion with the West and increased support for a resurgent Taliban movement.

That's where Pakistan comes in. The Pakistani intelligence services, in order to dominate Afghanistan,
supported the Taliban in its original quest for power, and during its despotic rule.
