Saddam's
Well-Timed Execution
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Saddam's rushed execution looks even more suspicious
now that the trial of his co-defendants has
resumed with prosecutors playing an incriminating
tape recording of the dead Iraqi dictator discussing
chemical weapons - but now without any possibility
of him fingering U.S. officials and others who
may have helped him get the poisons.
Bush and his supporters are sure to cite the tape
recording as further evidence of Hussein's guilt
and thus vindication of Bush's decision to press
ahead with Hussein's controversial hanging on Dec. 30.
But the troubling reality - virtually ignored
in the major U.S. news media - is that Bush also
silenced a particularly dangerous witness who
could have implicated prominent U.S. officials from
both his father's and his own administrations.
The American whore media refused to publish the
facts about the worst president ever.
They continue to cover for him, they overlook
his myriad of crimes and mistakes every day
and they always give him the benefit of
the doubt, even after he gets caught over and over.
Note: consortiumnews.com is the most important site on
the internet.

Why is my Dad in Gitmo?
Excerpt:
Ten-year-old Anas el-Banna will walk to 10 Downing
Street this week to ask: Why can't my Dad come home?
His father, Jamil, is one of eight British residents
languishing at Gitmo, which opened five years ago tomorrow.
Mr Banna, was taken to Gitmo four years ago after
being seized in Gambia. He was accused of having
a suspicious device in his luggage. It turned
out to be a battery charger. No charges have been made.
Reminder: Our American government PAID people to point to Al-Qaeda
sympathizers.
The number I heard was $5,000 each, but I forget where I read that.
So if it's true, think of some poor goat-herder who sees maybe $300
a year, and suddenly
he's getting $5,000 every time he says, "That
guy is al Qaeda!"
Everyone is going to be Al Qaeda when that happens, but Bush
got what he wanted:
He got 600 warm bodies that he could legally declare "the
enemy who wants to destroy us"
and that gave him justification to torture anyone as he saw fit around
the globe.
So Bush has 600 souls to torture, but he can't tell us what crimes they're
guilty of or suspected of.
He can't give us their names, either, because that only helps Al Qaeda
...and if you disagree - how do they know YOU'RE not Al Qaeda?
Just curious, right now - are you proud to be an American?
I'm still proud, Bart! Damn proud!
Nope,
I'm not very proud to be an American under Bush

Monkey bargains
with generals
Why did they agree to his hopeless escalation?
Excerpt:
Pentagon insiders say members of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff have long opposed the increase in troops
and are only grudgingly going along with the
plan because they have been promised that the military
escalation will be matched by renewed political
and economic efforts in Iraq.
The Post details the many reasons why military
commanders doubt a troop increase will work
("no backup options," concern the Iraqis won't
deliver, concern over "fighting in a political vacuum"),
but then, you really can't argue with the reasoning
for pushing it through: "In the end, the White House
favored the idea of more troops as one visible
and dramatic step the administration could take."
I'll bet the generals just hate to be micro-managed by a bunch of never-served
assholes.
Because Bush, Cheney & Rummy tied their hands, the generals
get the failing grade for this war.
For years or decades, they'll talk about the incompetent handjobs who
run the US military
when all along the BFEE encouraged the chaos so they could pump,
pump, pump Saddam's oil
out of wells that have no meters on them - stealing as much as $350M
a day, some say.

Subject: Dem Surge Maneuvers
Bart-
I can't believe the Democrats can't figure out how to deal with Bush's plan to send more troops.
If he wants more, fine, it's his mess and he gets the troops/$100 billion, but on two conditions:
1. The war ends with his presidency; here's the
troops and you'd better be right 'cos the endgame is,
the last troops come
out by the end of your term...you're not leaving this for someone else.
2. Since it's all about 'sacrifice' Mr. Bush,
what're you going to put on the table?
How about $100 billion worth
of discretionary pentagon/CIA spending? That means cut backs to
the nuclear arsenal (far and
away the world's largest), experimental weapons programs, foreign arms
subsidies and propaganda efforts,
and, last but certainly not least, you roll back that last tax cut for
the wealthiest or you raise
the corporate tax (your choice).
Dems are still triangulating over being perceived
as unpatriotic quitters; they need to get to the heart
of the matter and start some serious negotiations.
Bush knows he's over a barrel but only if he's called on it.
This way the Dems look both responsible and 'committed
to the troops' while also undermining him.
Yes, more troops die, but at least the endgame
begins.
Bartcop rocks, as always.
Chris in Canada
Chris, I like #1 more than I like #2.
Your first idea works because it takes away his reason to stonewall
the end game.
If it has to fail on his watch, he'd rather fail now and use the next
20 months to try to "re-legacy himself,"
but unless he's got cure for cancer or a plan for peace in the Middle
East (kidding) he's toast already.
But your Number 2 idea?
They tell Bush, "Fine, but every penny you spend from now on comes from
the super-rich."
He'll say, "That'll kill the economy,"
we say, "Clinton did great with that plan."
He'll say, "We can't afford it,"
we say, "You mean "The fight for humanity, itself?" "
...or, ...they might roll over and give him whatever he wants, no strings.
The Democrats CAN'T be as spineless as I think they are.
They just CAN'T be.

"Going back now some four years, who can point
to even a single Bush administration decision
in Iraq, either strategic or tactical,
that didn't turn out to be either a bad idea or a complete disaster?
Anything? One good call? When the president
goes before the people on Wednesday, he is basically
saying, trust me...given the track
record and the fact that few people outside the White House seem
to think this is a good idea, what
possible basis is there to put any trust in Bush's latest gambit?"

Bush and Abramoff have met
Excerpt:
As we saw as recently as last
Friday, the Bush Administration has gone to great lengths
to prevent any access to information documenting
a relationship with Jack Abramoff.
But that relationship exists. CREW was provided
a photo of Bush and Jack Abramoff
taken at a campaign fundraiser in December 2003.
The White House did not want anyone
to see this photo. So, that begs the question:
What else are they hiding?

Bush to Generals: Drop Dead
Excerpt:
When Bush lies to the American people tonight,
he will be ordering his top military brass
to take action they initially resisted and advised
against.
Bush talks frequently of his disdain for second-guessing
his commanders. "It's important to trust
the judgment of the military when they're making
military plans," Bush told The WaHoPo last month.
"I'm a strict adherer to the command structure."
But as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated
and public support for the war has dropped, Bush has
pushed back against his top military advisers
and the commanders in Iraq: He has fashioned a plan
that adds up to 20,000 troops to the 132,000
U.S. service members already on the ground.
Bush knows more about how to fight a war than the lifetime soldiers.
Did he get this military expertise in Mexico in 1972 with a nose full
of flaky cocaine?
How many thousands more will die while the Little Dictator plays "Mission
accomplished" again?

Bush seeks support for escalation
Excerpt:
The Little Dictator began promoting his plan
to send more troops to Iraq, bringing more than
30 Republican senators to the White House as
part of a major campaign to rally the American
people behind another effort to send innocent
men and women to their deaths.
Senators who met with Bush said the president
made it clear that he is planning to add 20,000
U.S. troops to his bloody quagmire. They also
said the president is arguing that his new plan has
a better chance for success than past plans because
of a greater willingness of al-Maliki to commit
Iraqi forces against all perpetrators of violence,
including Shiite militias.
In the latest WaHoPo poll, only 17 percent agree
with Bush-McCain's call for a bigger quagmire.
If those 30 senators are tired of having power,
they'll stick with the Little Dictator.
How much more proof do they need after that last
election?
That Bush bastard is poison
and he'll destroy anyone who sticks with him.

O'Reilly vs. Colbert
Whore Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert, who has
essentially based his character on him,
will trade appearances on each other's programs
Jan. 18.
"I'm really looking forward to speaking to a man who owes his entire career to me," O'Reilly said.
I can't wait.
Predictions:
Colbert will give it to O'Reilly
worse than he gave it to the Little Dictator.
O'Reilly will act hip
and cool and in on the joke, but he'll be steaming.
Colbert will stay in character
and needle whore O'Reilly's ass.
O'Reilly will get fed up and
call on Colbert to speak as himself.
Colbert will stay
in character and then say something that really
pisses off whore O'Reilly and he'll start screaming,
"Shut up! Shut up!"
But Colbert will stay
in character further enraging the whore O'Reilly.
After what Colbert did to Bush, why is O'Reilly looking to get his ass kicked?
I'm looking forward to this - and it's a double shot!
First, Colbert will be on "The Factor," and then whore O'Reilly will
enter "The Report."
Can't wait...

Reagan aide compares Bush to Hitler
Excerpt:
Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
compares Bush to Hitler on Anti-war.com.
"Bush is like Hitler," Paul Craig Roberts writes
in a column.
"He blames defeats on his military commanders,
not on his own insane policy."
"Like Hitler, he protects himself from reality
with delusion," Roberts continues.
"In his last hours, Hitler was ordering non-existent
German armies to drive the Russians from Berlin."

The monsters Caligula and Nero were both removed
after the populace just couldn't take it any more.
The palace guards even went hunting them and
in the case of Caligula anyone associated with them,
though they spared Claudius.
It depends on the threshold of what people are
willing to take, most of Bush's opponents have "resigned",
were forced out or otherwise removed. Those
remaining want to hang on to their carees and lives.
There has to be a sweeping revolt, a meaningful
4th estate and a political will.
The political will is not there "witness the
spineless dems" and the "go along to get along repugs".
The revolt is unlikeley because of the lack of
uniformity. America is not a melting pot but a big stew pot
with lumps of different stuff all over the place.
The media is 95% at the behest of it's corporate
masters who back Bush.
None of this bodes well for the removal of this

Why I Hate
Hillary
by Jack Hitt, ...seriously
Is it me, or does she look kinda hot tied up?
Excerpt:
Hillary-hating is such a national pastime, for
both Democrats and Republicans, that it should be
its own verb: "Hillarating." Typically, even
her supporters make the case for her only after plowing
through a lot of caveats, lessons learned, and
after muttered contempt for some aspect of her person.
What?
Who does that?
You say this happens, "typically," as in what,
eight out of ten supporters?
Hillary is so hated most of her supporters
hate her, deep down?
Hillarating is not like normal political hating - opposing
someone's ideology, for example.
Loathing Hillary happens on multiple levels,
ranging from her marital choices and fashion sense
to her ambivalence on torture or support for
a flag-burning amendment. And liberal feminists are
as comfortable Hillarating as anyone else, perhaps
more so.
So, it's important that you hate the Democratic
front-runner,
You see, she's shrill, manipulative, cold as
ice, Mena Airport, Travelgate, thinks she's so smart, etc.
Why, if you plan to vote democrat in 2008 you
must be a helpless loser.
You must be mentally unbalanced to think this
Coven Mistress could win.
Besides, all the cool kids are voting for Villsack.
Don't you want to be cool?
If Mother Jones hates Hillary, you should, too.
Don't look at the polls because they
are lying.
For more, read any of the big-money sites.
They all agree, Hillary is for losers only.
