George Bush looks like he is on crystal meth
America needs to get it's fucking ass-holes kicked up into it's fucking heads to release all that shit where brains should have been and that brown stuff's been really building up in the last 100 years!
"Perhaps all presidents' remarks in military graveyards are by nature self-serving. But few have been so callow as the president's using the deaths of U.S. troops in his unjustified war as justification for its continuance."
Bush insists on clinging to the thoroughly discredited notion that there was any connection between the old Iraqi regime -- no matter how lawless and brutal -- and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."
-- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
At least 20 killed in Afghan mosque blast
The attack — which came on the heels of a major upsurge in rebel violence in recent months including assassinations, near-daily clashes with rebels and the kidnapping of an Italian aid worker — further raised fears that militants here were copying the tactics of insurgents in Iraq.
Bush’s Wrecking Crew: Breaking Iraq into Six Pieces
The Pentagon, through black operations, is currently attempting to pull off with “pseudo-gang” (think al-Zarqawi) false flag terrorist groups (for instance, sectarian bombings of mosques and assassination of religious figures, operations distinctly different than those launched by the resistance, viz., using suicide bombers against Iraqi police and security forces organized by the Americans).
The last throes of truth in Iraq
On CNN's ''Larry King Live" on Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney said of the violence in Iraq, ''I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." This is after May became the deadliest month for US forces since the January elections, with 76 US military casualties.
Is the U.S. mission in Iraq worth the toll in troop deaths?
No. 83%
Yes. 17%
Did Someone Say Withdrawal?
Rather than prepare an exit strategy, the US military is instead planning to consolidate its forces in four massive American bases in Iraq. The move is not part of a plan to establish a permanent US military presence, officials assured the Washington Post. But the structures have distinctly permanent characteristics, replete with blast-proof barracks. The funding came as part of the $82 billion supplemental approved a few weeks back. Congress, to be sure, raised nary a peep.
Iraq Concerned U.S. May Leave Too Soon ?
George Bush on Tuesday denied any increase of strength in the Iraqi insurgency, whose deadly attacks have been on the rise since a new government was announced April 28.
U.S. death toll in Iraq surges amid rebel violence
Defense analysts said the recent violence was the latest evidence Iraq remains an uncertain project for America.
Baghdad Airport Road Attacked by Bomber
Iraqi authorities are trying to take the fight to Iraqis, who have launched attacks that have killed at least 765 people, including U.S. troops!
“Things are getting worse by the day.”
The mayhem continues in Iraq, with today at least 40 people dead, including five US soldiers in Diyala province as the meltdown of the failed US-led occupation continues.
Wanted "Militants" Captured in Iraqi Raids
An ongoing massive Iraqi-led offensive dubbed Operation Lightning is aimed at curbing the constant violence?
U.S. Army officers cite lack of troops in key region
OCCUPIED IRAQ - U.S. Army officers in the badland deserts of northwest Iraq, near the Syrian border, say they don't have enough troops to hold the ground they take from insurgents in this transit point for weapons, money and foreign fighters.
60,000 Iraqis 'Disappeared' into US Camps
Independent journalist, Dahr Jamail, citing local humanitarian and other sources says the number of Iraqis detained by occupation forces is now well over 60,000 -far in excess of the commonly quoted official figure of 17,000.
U.S. Has Long History of Waging Wrong Wars
Any country does better defending itself than fighting other people's wars. Problems arise when invading a foreign country, such as fighting on unfamiliar terrain and dealing with people who speak different languages and have very different values. A foreign country's actions are hard for the U.S. to predict. Moreover, because the U.S. is fighting in somebody else's country, its adversaries know that eventually the troops are going home, and if they hold out long enough, they could prevail.
Military Finds Itself in Twilight Zone
Thus, a cowed and politicized military establishment, hailed as invincible just two years ago, marches steadily on a demoralizing but all-too-familiar path.
Fox News Admits Bias!
Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly.
FOX News finally notices the Downing Street Memo, but downplays it
"Bush wanted to remove Saddam Hussein, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD," the memo reads. "But the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy!"
The war in Iraq is illegal.
...the judge said, "I believe the government has just successfully proved that any seaman recruit has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal."
Bush Hints He Will Withhold Other Papers on Bolton
The United States, he said, "promotes freedom around the world" and fully investigates allegations of improper behavior toward prisoners in a transparent way. The Amnesty International report, Mr. Bush said, struck him as being based in part on "allegations by people who were held in detention, people who hate America."
What's Really Behind The White House Stonewall Over Bolton Documents?
And what is in those reports? The names of American individuals and companies that may have violated export restriction bans on the shipment of dangerous weapons material to China, Libya, and even Iran. And is it too big of a leap to assume that some or all of these firms may prove to be very damaging to the White House, as campaign contributors?
Bolton documents contain classified company names
The administration has permitted the top Republican and the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee to review copies of 10 intelligence reports, based on communications intercepted by the agency, about which Bolton requested the additional information. But the names of Americans and U.S. companies were deleted, and the administration has refused to provide the names to Senate leaders.
Amnesty International responds to President Bush's comments
President Bush again failed to address longstanding concerns regarding US detention policies and practices in the context of the "war on terror", Amnesty International said in response to his comments today.
The Bush Administration Was For Amnesty International Before It Was Against It
Secretary Rumsfeld repeatedly turned to Amnesty to highlight the repressive nature of Saddam’s regime. On March 27, 2003, Rumsfeld said: We know that it’s a repressive regime…Anyone who has read Amnesty International or any of the human rights organizations about how the regime of Saddam Hussein treats his people…
Rumsfeld defends US military against detainee torture allegations
US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld strongly criticised the media on Wednesday for what he called uneven coverage of whether US forces abuse terror suspects and defended the military against such charges.
This morning, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld brought up the stories of ongoing abuse of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Instead of addressing the actual charges, however, Rumsfeld attacked the media for continuing to cover the story.
He said: Two of the country’s largest newspapers, for example, have devoted more than 80 editorials combined since March of 2004 to Abu Ghraib and detainee issues, often repeating the same erroneous assertions and recycling the same stories. By comparison, precious little has been written by those editorial boards about the beheading of innocent civilians by terrorists, the thousands of bodies found in mass graves in Iraq, the allegations of rape of women and girls by U.N. workers in the Congo.
Condoleezza Rice: "a bitch running riot on the beach".
The sketch, it observed sarcastically, was littered with "gems of totalitarian wit".
Rice gets desperate to create a war
The U.S. and its allies in a program to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction prevented Iran from obtaining material for its nuclear weapons program within the past nine months, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said.
Galloway Wary Of Staged Terror Attack As Pretext For Iran Invasion
Galloway was confident that massively opposed public opinion would stop an attack from taking place, unless a staged terror attack carried out by the military industrial complex and blamed on Iran was carried out.
Reagan Pardoned 'Deep Throat' for Illegal Spying on Antiwar Activists
Four years ago, thousands of draft evaders and others who violated the Selective Service laws were unconditionally pardoned by my predecessor. America was generous to those who refused to serve their country in the Vietnam war. We can be no less generous to two men who acted on high principle to bring an end to the terrorism that was threatening our nation. ¶ 1.6.05
