"It's bad in Iraq. That help?"

Time for
Bush to Go!
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Bush had a point when he disparaged the Baker
commission's plan for gradual troop withdrawals
from Iraq by saying "this business about graceful
exit just simply has no realism to it whatsoever."
It's now obvious that there can be no exit from
Iraq - graceful or otherwise - as long as Bush remains President.
Despite wishful thinking about Bush "making a
180" and taking to heart the Iraq Study Group's recommendations,
Bush is making it abundantly clear that he has
no intention to reverse course, negotiate with his Muslim adversaries
or pull American combat troops out of Iraq.
Parry is exactly right, as always. All this crap about, "I'll listen
to their suggestions" is just that - crap.
The spolied little boy wants what he wants and he doesn't care how
many thousands of soliders have
to die because he's never been told "No" before and he's too old to
change.
He's not going to change course and he's not going to listen to anybody's
suggestions.
The Baker Group wasted nine months because the snot-nosed kid has an
ego problem.
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
The only way out of this mess if for senior Republicans to talk to
him like they talked to Nixon.
Republicans may be forced to vote for impeachment - so Bush/Cheney
will step down.

If he'd read the goddamn August, 2001 PDB that

as well as the 2925 soldiers he's killed.

he executed in the years he pretended to be governor?

Clinton, Obama Rivalry
Excerpt:
The biggest change in this month's ranking of
the presidential field is the flip-flopping of Obama
and Edwards on the Democratic side. Obama's initial
signals of interest in a 2008 bid set off a frenzy
of media coverage and excitement with Democrats.
While that energy still exists, Obama must now
harness it into the nuts and bolts of building
a national organization that can compete with Hillary.
Remember that Obama has never had a serious test
in a run for elected office and must prove
he can take a punch from a rival.
It's time to get real.
I like Obama just fine, but he's waaaaaay out
of his league. This should be seen as a
semi-test run, getting his name out there so
people will remember him as a national
player down the road, but there's no way he can
challenge her - not this cycle..
The best asset Obama has is that nobody knows
much about him. Few negatives.
He gives good interview, and he's got that religious
"let's work together" thing going,
but he's just too new to national politics to
try to grab the big chair, especially this round.

Bush vows
to weigh Congress' Iraq ideas
He's lying - he's not going to weigh a goddamn thing
Excerpt:
Bush pledged on Friday to consider the ideas
of congressional leaders as he searches for a new
strategy for his bloody quagmire. He is expected
to announce his decisions in a speech before Christmas.
"The president admitted that some new tactics
might be needed," said Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy, you can't really be falling for that crap.
Don't you know this monkey by now?
Dick Durbin (D-Apologize) said no one expects
Bush to endorse all 79 Baker recommendations.
But he said he hopes Bush's ideas track with
the themes of the report.
Dick, you can't really be falling for that crap.
Don't you know this monkey by now?
(Thanks for not apologizing for the Nov 7 victory.)
"We have got to start moving American troops and
start bringing them home," Durbin said,
with a Polyanna smile on his face like he believed
what he was saying.
I've always said - the biggest crime is lying
to yourself.
Are Pelosi and Durbin falling for Bush's lies
are are they just winking at us?
Please, Koresh - let it be a wink.
Bush said, "We talked about Iraq. We talked about
the need for a new way forward in Iraq.
And we talked about the need to work together
on this important subject."
Pure lies.
00%, Grade-A, certified bullshit.
If there was a way to gamble on this I'd slap
$100 down right now.
Bush is NOT going to change - this
is all smoke and mirrors so people who glance at
the headlines will say, "Maybe
Bush has wised up," but that's not what's
happening.
Can Ol' Bart be the only one who smells a rat here?
I'll tell you what's going on here:
Bush has a losing poker hand - but he's too macho
to fold - so he keeps raising.
The insurgents know they've won, so they keep
raising Bush - and he keeps raising back.
How much are we going to let him push into the
pot?
He's already pushed 2925
soldiers lives into this losing hand.
And he says we must push another 2,000
lives (two years, if we're lucky) into this
losing hand because we would dishonor the first 2925
soldiers lives if we don't.
The boy can't play poker and he's betting lives and billions that he
can.

Why I hate
Hillary
by Arianna (Again?)
Can't she find anything else to write about?
Excerpt:
Clinton is the quintessential political weather
vane.
On Iraq, she remains a captive of her and her
consultants' belief that the country isn't ready for
a female commander in chief who isn't a hawk.
Unfortunately, she's misreading the zeitgeist.
Democrats are fed up with fence-straddling and
triangulation. But that has become Clinton's brand.
How nice that Arianna can speak for all
Democrats, while at the same time, Hillary holds
a commanding lead by twenty or more points -
how does Arianna get away with that?
Smiling photo ops with Bill Frist, Newt Gingrich
and Rick Santorum. Backing a bill criminalizing
flag burning. Coming out against violent video
games. Signing on to Bush's missile defense plan.
Shifting her language on abortion. Refusing to
level with Americans on Iraq.
Hey Arianna, if you're such an expert on running a winning campaign,
why aren't you California's
governor?
Did she even get two percent of that vote in 2004?
Meanwhile, Hillary's team was the first to win the White House back-to-back
since FDR,
but Arianna knows more than the Clinton team about what
wins Democratic races?

Quotes
"We did not find one single person, and we
interviewed over 200 people, who thought we
should stay the course. We are
going to pull out our combat troops out of Iraq over a
period of time and they have to begin
to accept the new mission and we have to begin
to accept the primary mission of training
and embedding troops."
-- Lee Hamilton, (BFEE- Whitewash)
Link
Things are so bad, Lee Hamilton can't whitewash this mess away.
The problem is - it's not going to work.
How can we train to Iraqis (with insurgents embedded) to do a
job we can't do?
Does anyone think Iraq will be safer after the world's mightiest
military leaves?
Can't anybody tell the damn truth anymore?

Subject: Pulling out
How do you pull out of Iraq quickly? Answer
is, you can't.
Even moving as fast as possible, you simply can't
get the troops out
as fast as they were put in - and didn't it take
eight months to put them into place?
With violence escalating every day, who wants
to be part of the last 500 Americans in Iraq?
Where do they go to keep from being killed?
How do you move 500 people all at the same instant
out of the country?
These aren't trivial questions, retreats from
a front are complicated and difficult,
and it is very easy to lose more people during
a retreat than during the actual fighting.
See any military history or manual of war that
covers such things.
Even in the most whole hearted attempt possible
to get the hell out of Iraq, those people
are stuck for at least another year, or possibly
longer. Ask Wesley Clark how long he thinks
a pullout would take, if done to minimize casualties
on our side - you probably won't like the
answer - and any off the cuff answer will almost
certainly be on the short side.

Al Franken leaving AAR?
Excerpt:
The future senator from Minnesota may finally
be giving up on Air America Radio - or what's left of it.
A knowledgeable radio source tells Radar that
Al Franken is leaving "before the end of the year."
That's 23 days and counting. Franken is set to
leave on a USO tour of Iraq next week, and will return
on Christmas Eve. Asked if he has made a decision,
Franken played coy. "I don't know what's happening,"
he tells Radar. "It's not set in stone - I need
to see what they're talking about."
I think he told Letterman he wasn't getting paid, so maybe he's using
his last weeks on the radio
to pre-launch his 2008 campaign. I think he'll make a fine senator.
Without a doubt, he's ten times the man Norm Coleman (R-Fascist Dog)
is.

Killing
Conservatism
by Bob Burnett
Excerpt:
With conservatives reeling from their election
losses, and Bush's approval ratings heading for record lows,
liberals have something to cheer about. Rather
than gloat about Bush's ineptness, or the failure of the GOP
Congress, liberals should focus on their opportunity
to sink the conservative ideology that has dominated
politics for twenty-five years. There are ten
pillars of conservative political wisdom that liberals should attack.
1. Government is bad:.
2. Competence is overrated:
3. Cutting taxes fixes everything
4. The market will provide:
5.
6.

Nagin: Bush is killing New Orleans
Excerpt:
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin accused Bush of abandoning
his legal obligation to help his city
recover from Katrina. Nagin insisted that the
city can't rebuild unless promised federal aid begins to flow.
"There is federal money out in cyberspace, there
is money in the mail, ...but very little of that money
has made it to our local governments and our
citizens."
Under federal law, Bush is obliged to help restore
New Orleans's vital infrastructure. Nagin said Bush
has approved more than $900 million, but local
officials have not been able to access most of it.
"We're here to say to the federal government:
'Honor the law,' " said Nagin.
Al Franken said Monday that less than one percent
of money for Katrina victims has been delivered.
He said there are 26,000 families who have applied
for federal aid but that Bush's red-tape prevents
99 percent of them from receiving anything.
Will America allow this to continue?
I think it's a damn shame that "New
Orleans" isn't on the front page of every newspaper and
on the nightly TV whore news every damn day,
but we don't care because those victims are black.
If this was Providence, Rhose Island, where white people live, rebuilding would be Job One.
But who cares about the poor darkies?
They probably voted Democrat anyway, right George?

The End of the BFEE
Excerpt:
Whatever happens from here, the king is dead
(even with his head in place), and with it the power
and influence of a family dynasty brought down
by the poisoned chalice of its ill-chosen successor,
unworthy and unable to wear the crown and pass
it to the next in line. Henceforth, all will know what
should have been clear all along. Behind every
"Bush," there's a crime, and some of them are too
great to hide, make up for, or overcome. So it
is with the lesson of George Bush, a very bad seed and a
president only a mother can love. And even that's
in doubt in a family that doesn't take defeat very well.
Give them time, they'll acclimate.

Subject: Dixie Chicks - Grammy nominations
Hi Bart.
I really wish you could feature a little blurb
about the Dixie Chicks, since they didn't back down
after they lost their right wing fans (and huge
money). In fact, the Dems should have taken a lesson
from them about having some "cajones" before
the war when they could have done something about it.
I doubt Tulsa will show 'Shut Up and Sing', but
all your readers should go see it. They should force
Joseph Biden's eyes open with toothpicks to watch
what having a "backbone" really looks like.
ha ha
That's good for 30 days of BCR.
Check your mail box.
And, they have been nominated for the Big Awards at the Grammys. Ha!!!!
In 'Shut up and Sing' there is a scene where Natalie
Maines is watching Bush say
"The Dixie Chicks should not get their feelings
hurt just because people won't buy their records,"
and she immediately says "Fuck you" -
looks right into the camera and says
"That's right, fuck you."
It is PRICELESS.
