Gerald Ford's
Mixed Legacy
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
The disclosure that Gerald Ford opposed the U.S.
invasion of Iraq but embargoed his objections
until after his death fits with his contradictory
legacy as a national leader who opposed the imperial
presidency while laying the groundwork for its
restoration.
Nixon had asserted broad powers to wage war overseas
and acted secretly to sabotage his political
enemies at home. Nixon embodied the notion that
if
a President did it, it couldn't be illegal.
Given Ford's appointment of Rumsfeld, Cheney and
Bush to key jobs, one could argue that the Ford
administration served as an incubator for the
imperial presidency's rebirth - even if he personally opposed it.

My first reaction after hearing Dubya was going

Stampeding
the herd Washington-style
by
Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
In the end, the most significant aspect of the
Iraq Study Group may be that none of its members
publicly doubted the wisdom of conquering Mesopotamia
in the first place. President Petulant
appears determined to ignore its recommendations
for dealing with the "grave and deteriorating"
crisis anyway. Why the hawks-only lineup? Because
under the upside-down rules of Washington
discourse, dissenting from this crackpot scheme
indicated an unseemly lack of interest in career
advancement, marking one as unsound. During a
stampede, the safest place is the middle of the herd.
Recent polls show roughly 12 percent of Americans
support the Bush's plans to "surge"by throwing
another 20,000 to 30,000 troops into the Iraqi
meat grinder.
Shoot, you could get 12 percent to agree that Condi Rice is a space alien.

Bart,
I saw Gore's movie last night. Don't you
think that was a giant set up for his run in 2008?
He is much more personable and you can see how
much he actually cares about America.
He says he is not interested but I think that
is a tactic to keep FOX NEWS from pulling out
the old "internet" jokes and keeping him close
to Bill Clinton. If I had it my way Al Gore
would be the next president with Wesley Clark
or Hillary Clinton the vice president.

2008 Predictions
Saw this on some dude's web site
Candidate Odds of winning the White House
Biden 10-1
Biden has charisma and name recognition.
His plan for Iraq makes sense.
He is not an ultra liberal wack job.
Clinton 15-1
Hillary is running for Hillary and not
the people.
She comes off as dry and phoney.
I guess facts are facts...
Kerry 25-1
He's dropping like a meteor.
Bayh
25-1
He's a virtual unknown.
Clark 50-1
A ton of complaints with few solutions.
Gore 75-1
A man who can't win his own state
Obama 100-1
Obama is a "media concoction" much like the Monkees
in the 1960s.
ha ha
Glad I didn't say that.
Edwards 200-1
Got rich putting honest doctors & hospitals
out of business using "junk science".
Clearly, he loves Biden and nobody else has a chance.
I wonder if this guy's a gambler?
Biden has the best chance of being president? Of what
country?
Gore is three times the longshot Bayh is? That's
goofy talk.
Bayh is a "virtual unknown" but has 4 times better odds than
Obama?

Subject: killing Saddam helps cover-up
Bart:
The US government wants Saddam executed, and quickly,
so that he can never reveal all
of the collusion that the USA had had with his
regime? So, we hang Saddam this weekend;
then we never have to worry about the potential
scandal of all the assistance we had given him
in his killing of Iranians, Shiites, and Kurds.
Republicans once again get off easily.
I would much have preferred that Saddam be tried
at the Hague for all his crimes, not just those
for which he was recently convicted. And
I would have liked to hear what he had to say about
all the help he had from Rumsfeld and Cheney
over the years.
But, no, the US government assures his silence
by killing him after a Stalinist show trial.
Marc in PA
If Saddam's going to say something he'd better talk quick.
Did you hear about that goofy letter he allegedly wrote?
"Don't hate Americans because Bush invaded.
Hate only blinds you to yada, yada,
yada..."

Press Ignores
Generals
Pro-war whores can't tell the truth
Excerpt:
The Joint Chiefs and practically every active
General strongly opposes Bush's proposed "Surge,"
but you've probably not heard too much about
the Generals discontent. The average American
probably hasn't heard about it, because the media
only barely reported on the Generals' mutiny.
In the event that the Generals decide to disagree
with Bush - he doesn't care, because he's "The Decider."
The press' ignoring of the Generals even continued
when Robert Gates, went to Iraq and was told
by the "commanders" on the ground that they too,
disagreed with Bush's plan. Indeed, these were
very dark days for "The Decider" and his dream
of escalating the Iraq War. Fortunately for Bush,
the press was mostly ignoring the Generals' collective
revolt.
But don't worry, in 2-3 years, the New York Whore Times will apologize
again
for refusing
to cover the truth like they refused to cover the truth about Bush's
bloody invasion

Excerpt:
"You wouldn't believe the mood in the White House
and in many of the other departments.
It's doom and gloom. Couldn't happen to a nicer
bunch of crooks and liars. I walk around
the corridors of power wearing a large grin inside.
Their days are numbered. And they know it, too.
They've read the election returns and see
the handwriting on the wall. Rumsfeld is gone
(perhaps to face civil lawsuits), and Bush and
Cheney and Rove and Rice and Hadley and Gonzales
and the rest of the bunker crew are
going down and the only question is when.
The citizens in November delivered their No Confidence
verdict on this crew of incompetent,
corrupt, arrogant powermongers. Not surprisingly,
the Democrats, so locked into their timid
victim mode, seem unsure what to do with their
victory."
For about $7250 we could give every elected Democrat 90 days of Bartcop

President Clinton had a thousand subpeonas and

Loser - Rush Limbaugh
Imagine if a Democratic candidate for office had
a past that included three failed marriages,
a dubious reason for avoiding the draft during
the ViestNam war, a voting record that didn't
commence until he was 35, addiction to painkillers,
questionable public remarks about women
and minorities, and an incident in which he was
detained by customs because of a "mislabled"
bottle of viagra that he brought along
on a "boys only" vacation.
Think the Sean Hannitys of the world would be having fun with this guy?
Not if it's Rush Limbaugh, voice of the moral majority.
The low point for Limbaugh this year came in October
when he accused Michael J. Fox of
"exaggerating the effects of his disease" in
a political ad. "he's moving all around and shaking,
and it's purely acting", said Limbaugh. "This
is really shameless of Michael J. Fox".
You should know from shameless, sir.

President Gore, Lame Duck
Excerpt:
As Al Gore faces his final years in the White
House, history will view his two terms as disappointing.
After a razor-thin victory over George Bush in
2000, the new President was ultra-cautious.
Republicans labeled him "Al Bore" for failing
to pursue a muscular foreign policy and for endless
consultations with UN members, NATO allies, even
potential adversaries such as North Korea and Iran.
Then he overreacted to such criticism, using an
intelligence report in August, 2001, as pretext for striking
defenseless camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan,
arousing protests throughout the Middle East over the
death of a populist leader, Osama bin Laden,
and his followers.
Even more controversial was Gore's expulsion of
fifteen visitors from our ally, Saudi Arabia,
for what Rush Limbaugh sarcastically termed "the
heinous crime of taking flying lessons."
The furor drove oil prices to $30 a barrel, with
public protest
bringing the President's approval ratings down
to 50 percent.
The vulgar Pigboy's wrote a book called, "The Way Things Ought to Be."
President Gore, Lame Duck is how things should've been - but
we didn't want it bad enough,
so now we have The Way Things Are.

"There is public disenchantment with McCain's

Unless thsee troops show immediate benefits, Bush's

by Republicans as another political burden to bear.'

So what does McCain do?

What does McCain do?
Gamble his chances for the White House that Iraq will calm down real
soon?
What does McCain do?
Seems like his options are "lose big now" and "lose bigger later."

What will McCain say when...
Bush is going to bomb Iran
Excerpt:
Bush is going to bomb Iran. This is the purpose
of the "surge". No amount of troops is going to fix Iraq;
they couldn't if they tried. If Bush wanted to
fix Iraq, he'd give them jobs. People who are employed in
decent jobs can figure out how to live with their
neighbors. More American troops in the Persian Gulf
are not going to quell violence in Iraq any more
than the ones already there are.
Bush is going to bomb Iran. And there may be almost nothing we can do to stop it.
Iran has a single trump card - their nuclear program.
I doubt Bush can destroy the whole thing.
There will be no repeat of Israel's surgical
removal of the nuclear ambitions of Saddam Hussein.
But Bush can take out enough of Iran's nuclear
facilities to knock them back a few more years in
the development of a feasible weapon. That is
all he needs to bomb - that is, until Iran makes its move.
...and if there nuke program is buried too deep for our bunker-buster
bombs to reach?
