How Ollie
North Helped Ortega Win
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
As Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega takes over
as Nicaragua's new president, some U.S. diplomats
are privately blaming Iran-Contra figure Oliver
North for unwittingly helping his longtime enemy split
the anti-Sandinista vote and win last November's
election.
The bitter irony for some Bush administration
officials is that North is a hero to many on the Right
because, as a National Security Council aide
in the 1980s, he spearheaded Ronald Reagan's
contra war seeking to oust Ortega and the leftist
Sandinistas.
But now North is coming under criticism for making
a last-minute trip to Nicaragua
and throwing his weight behind a right-wing candidate
who undercut another conservative
favored by the U.S. Embassy.

Excerpt:
I wish I could report to you that the conflict
is almost over. This I cannot do. We face more cost,
more loss, and more agony. For the end is not
yet. I cannot promise you that it will come this year
--or come next year. Our adversary still believes,
I think, tonight, that he can go on fighting longer
than we can, and longer than we and our allies
will be prepared to stand up and resist.
A time of testing--yes. And a time of transition.
The transition is sometimes slow; sometimes unpopular;
almost always very painful; and often quite dangerous.
But we have lived with danger for a long time
before, and we shall live with it for a long
time yet to come. We know that "man is born unto trouble."
We also know that this Nation was not forged
and did not survive and grow and prosper without
a great deal of sacrifice from a great many men.

After the Thumping
Excerpt:
If conservatism means being decent and patriotic,
then of course, nearly all Americans are fuzzily
conservative. But that doesn't tell you much
about how they vote, which in recent years has been
in roughly equal numbers for Democrats and Republicans.
The notion that a steady conservative
majority exists, waiting only to be activated
by the right Republican appeal, thus makes for bad
GOP strategy. It lures Republicans into thinking
their job is easier than it is, by disguising the
hard truth that victory still depends on persuading,
not merely reminding, a crucial segment
of the electorate to think conservative and vote
Republican.

Why should soldiers die to cover up for Bush?
This is Bush's war and Bush's failure.
Now Bush wants to escalate the war so that he
can push off the blame for defeat onto
the next president. Adding more troops just gives
the Iraqis more bodies to shoot at.
Soldiers are asked to die for nothing. And Bush
wants us to pay welfare to Iraqis
to create jobs there so they can build things
that other Iraqis can blow up.

The Voice of the White House
tbrnews.org (scroll a little)
Excerpt:
A Republican Senator recently said that what
Bush was doing was criminal. It is and now both Congress,
the military and many Americans say Bush has
to be removed, by force if necessary, from his high office.
I have talked with some of the staff members who
are in his presence on a regular basis and all of them say,
without reservation, that he has gone around
the bend. The Pentagon brass have nicknamed him "Caligula"
and there is a very strong possibility of open
revolt from that sector. Troops in the field are seriously talking
about mutiny but if Bush knows about this, he
could not care less.
The plain and simple truth, children, is that
Bush is a fanatic nut and has absolutely no business running a war.
Whatever happens to him will be entirely his
fault and I am looking for another job starting this afternoon
Sidebar from same site:
We have received a growing number of communications
from viewers concerning 'Wikipedia'
which advertises itself as an 'online information
service', a sort of free Internet encyclopedia.
The complaints are that the service is filled
with articles obviously cribbed from other publications
and not attributed but worse, many are obviously
the work of spiteful contributors who publish
reams of incorrect, and in some cases, libelous
material.
I've found wikipedia to be a valuable resource, but only to confirm
something.
If you can't remember the real names of the Three Stooges, they'll

If you want to know about Tsun Tzu or Machiavelli, they'll get you

No reason

by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Now that they're in the minority, the Republicans
may claim that there is nothing more wonderful than the
two parties working together, debating everything
openly, and treating each other as they would wish to be
treated themselves. But they never allowed those
old-fashioned values to get in the way of anything that
actually matters to them, such as cutting taxes
on their wealthy contributors or winning elections.
That ruthless attitude has dominated Washington
during the presidency of George W. Bush, as the GOP
gained control of all three branches of government.
So when Bush urges cooperation between the parties,
as he did in the pages of the Wall Street Journal,
it is important to remember how casually he and his party
trashed the Democrats in the months following
9/11, when bipartisan national unity was so desperately
needed -- and after the Democratic leaders in
Congress had pledged their complete cooperation to him.
The RNC, the Republican congressional campaign
committees and the White House political operation
responded, characteristically, by questioning
the Democrats' patriotism during the 2002 election.
We need to teach them some manners.

Dems - Last voice on troop surge
Excerpt:
If Congress blocks surge funding as some Democrats
are considering,
Bush would have little choice but to follow the
law, legal specialists said yesterday.
Bush and Congress have sparred before over whether
the president's war powers allow him
to authorize wiretappings or evade bans on torture,
but legal specialists said there is far less
ambiguity when it comes to spending money: The
Constitution explicitly makes Congress
responsible for appropriating funds.
Bush plans to send an additional 20,000 troops
to Iraq.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi said they would consider
blocking funds for such a move.
They could innoculate themselves from the "they
didn't support the troops" bullshit
by calling for a massive "Troops
Home Now" rally in the streets, ...but why listen to me?

"I've gone along with the president on this and

said Senator George Voinovich (R-Crooked Ohio)
In a bold, bold move Joe Biden said, "I cannot in good conscience support the president's approach."
Harry Reid - "In choosing to escalate the war, the president virtually stands alone."
Not exactly true, he has McCain, Guiliani, McConnell and Graham, at least.
Sleazy Rice lied, "It's not an escalation,
it's an an augmentation that allows the Iraqis
to deal with this very serious problem that they
have in Baghdad..."
Her production of crap continued, which got Hagel pissed off.
Hagel told Rice, "Madame Secretary, we are in a civil war."
She disputed that Iraq was in the throes of a
civil war.
To that, Hagel said, "To sit there and say
that, that's just not true."

Three Thousand

3000 dead soldiers + 1 heartless monkey
Excerpt:
President Bush will unleash the latest formula
of folly in Iraq: the "surge" doctrine, embroidered with a
theme of "sacrifice." Voices of the dead scream
in silent sorrow, and the world watches aghast at the
fiery failure. And yet, the man-child king demands
one more chance.
The coming speech matters little and cannot hide
the bloody lies and deception that have taken a toll
on America. The words will be nothing more than
the rush of wind and the tinkling of brass, because
in the end this is the ghoulish price of the
Iraq War:

That's easy - and you know the reasons why - the

"Addressing Democrats' intent to "prod" President
Bush to change his strategy in Iraq,
Swanson said, "Prodding Bush is like teaching
calculus to a pig. It annoys the pig and
makes you look silly. Now, they are telling
us that impeachment is off the table.
If war crimes, torture, and crimes against
humanity are not reason to impeach, what is?""
Duhhhbya is too stupid and stubborn to listen
to anyone - he, like every petuant 2 year-old will do
the opposite of what he's told. He's a
total waste of time. But we put the Dems in office to change that.
And already they're all strutting in their pink
tutu's. They are no more listening to us than FuriousGeorge.
At this point, I, too, am almost angier at them
then Duhhhbya - because they hinted at investigations and
force and change - but they duped us and now

Congress
must step up
by Josh Marshall
Excerpt:
"...here we have a case where the GOP has just
been thrown out of power largely because the public
is fed up with the president's lies and failures
abroad...The public now believes the war was a mistake.
The public is overwhelmingly against sending
more troops to the country.
And yet, with all this, the president has ignored
the Congress and the majority of the country's citizens
and wants to plow ahead with an expansion of
his own failed and overwhelmingly repudiated policy.
The need for Congress to assert itself in such
a case transcends the particulars of Iraq policy.
It's important to confirm the democratic character
of the state itself. The president is not a king.

Bush May
Doom GOP Candidates in '08
by Ivan Eland
Excerpt:
Although escalation would help Bush retain what
remains of his political base, it is totally unnecessary.
He doesn't have to run again for re-election.
Also, the president doesn't have to throw more troops
to their deaths to rhetorically say he has done
all he can do to help Iraqis help themselves.
After all, the United States has already lost
more than 3,000 troops in Iraq and spent more than $300
billion trying to pacify Iraq, and the American
and Iraqi people have both grown tired of the effort.
By escalating the war, the "pro-democracy" president
is flouting the outcome of the 2006 elections
in the United States and the popular will of
the Iraqis, the majority of whom want a U.S. withdrawal.
More likely the president is trapped in his own
psychological maladies. Deep down, he knows
that Iraq is an unsalvageable mess, but he is
an avoider of bad news and cannot accept it mentally.
Psychologically, he just hopes to postpone defeat
in any way he can.
Defeat in Iraq means a failed presidency for him.
But since he has no brain and no conscience, Bush
has chosen to lose $300M and 2-5 soldiers
every day until January 20, 2009 or the day he's
forced to resign, whichever comes first.

I actually composed a snail mail letter to him, as follows:

Mr. Mike Papantonio
P.O. Box 12308
Pensacola, FL 32591
Mr. Papantonio:
I happened upon the unfolding story of the
execrable Joe Scarborough and the website "All Hat No Cattle,"
in which you seem to be an active player.
Your involvement came as a shock to me; I have listened to you
on "Ring of Fire," and stupidly thought that
your impassioned "Pap attack" commentaries were sincerely felt.
The realization that my gullibility is laughable
has struck me with the force of a taser.
Do you, like Limbaugh and O'Reilly, justify
this to yourself with the old "hey, I'm just an entertainer" routine?
I'm sure you're far too amoral to be ashamed
of yourself, but you should be.
Thanks for ratcheting my cynicism up another

Not me.
Or can I trust you because, unlike Papantonio,
you aren't a servant of the super-rich,
so you don't get ideas about yourself above your
station?
Swear to Koresh, this makes me sick to my stomach.
You can always trust Ol' Bart.
BTW, did you know that Joe Scarborough killed

I think he strangled her because she told him
