"It is not the enemy that has us pinned down
in Iraq today, it is Bush's unwillingness to admit
his mistakes and lies. Bush's war is
this countrys largest foreign policy blunder. Now it's time

Tenet-Bush
Pre-9/11 'Small Talk'
by Robert Parry
consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
After reaching the White House, a CIA briefer,
identified as Rich B., started his presentation by saying:
"There will be a significant terrorist attack
in the coming weeks or months!"
Rich B. then displayed a chart showing "seven
specific pieces of intelligence gathered over the past 24 hours,
all of them predicting an imminent attack," Tenet
wrote. The briefer presented another chart with "the more
chilling statements we had in our possession
through intelligence."
These comments included a statement by Osama bin
Laden to trainees about an attack in the near future
and a "big event" and predictions of "a stunning
turn of events in the weeks ahead," Tenet wrote.
Rich B. told Rice that the attack will be "spectacular"
with heavy casualties against U.S. targets.
"Attack preparations have been made," Rich B.
said about al-Qaeda's plans.
"Multiple and simultaneous attacks are possible,
and they will occur with little or no warning."
Bush administration officials continued to pooh-pooh
the seriousness of the al-Qaeda threat.
Two leading neocons - Stephen Cambone and Paul
Wolfowitz - suggested that the CIA
might be falling for a disinformation campaign,
Tenet wrote.
They should be impeached for that, but the Democrats
sat silent while Bush appointed family friend
Lee Whitewash Hamilton to the 9-11 Cover-Up Commission
and Hamilton did his usual great job
of protecting the Bush Family Evil Empire at
the expense of America's vital interests.
To this day, does anyone know who gave the order for the Air Force to
stand down?

Bush passes
the buck on Iraq
by Helen Thomas
Link
Excerpt:
President Bush still has to learn "the buck stops
here" when it comes to presidential decisions.
The "decider" and commander in chief seems to
be trying to pass the buck, particularly if the war
in Iraq implodes and he has to bring troops home
from his disastrous invasion of Iraq.
The president is counting on Gen. David Petraeus
and Maliki to take the fall if his troop "surge" fails.
Bush is a long way from that mirage even with
a surge of troops to 160,000 by midsummer.
Bush's war of choice -- now in its fifth year
-- has taken 3,368 American lives and wounded thousands
more Americans. The death toll for the
Iraqi people is reportedly in the hundreds of thousands,
although the Iraqi Health Ministry says it will
no longer disclose the casualty figures.
That's one way to avoid bad news - just stop releasing
it.

Subject: why they lie
Bart,
I think I understnad why the BFEE lies literally
about everything, even when the truth supports them.
I believe it to actually be part of their political
strategy: They know is that they cannot control the truth,
but they believe they can control the lie. I
think it is that simple.
That's why I have named this phenomenom Costanza's
Theorem (after George on Seinfeld who
discovered that everything he did was wrong,
so the opposite must be right), which states:
Everything the BFEE says is a lie, so the the
opposite must be true.
So far this has approach has not let me down.
Keep up the pressure!

We Shot
Your Kid, Here's $500
editorandpublisher.com
Excerpt:
When the U.S. drops a bomb that goes awry, lands
in an orchard, and does not detonate -- until after
a couple of kids go out to take a look -- our
military does not feel any moral or legal reason to compensate
the family of the dead child because this is,
after all, broadly speaking, a "combat situation."
Also: What price (when we do pay) do we place
on the life of a 9-year-old boy, shot by one of our soldiers
who mistook his book bag for a bomb satchel?
Would you believe $500? And when we shoot an Iraqi journalist
on a bridge we shell out $2500 to his widow --
but why not the measly $5000 she had requested?
Last June, we learned that a local custom in Iraq
known as "solatia" had now been adapted by the U.S. military
-- it means families receive financial compensation
for physical damage or a loss of life. Payoffs had "skyrocketed
from just under $5 million in 2004 to almost
$20 million last year, according to Pentagon financial data."

Subject: Hillary
I'm sure you are tired of hearing about the "Great
Hillary Debate" but I'd like to throw in my 2 cents.
I read every day and I think the the position
you take to "support the front runner" is a bit pre mature.
There is always time to get behind the front
runner after the convention. The time leading up to the primaries
should not be about who can win (I think any
Dem can win this season) but about who has the best ideas.
I happen to support Edwards because I spent time
going over records, reading profusely and then deciding
who I liked best. To just support someone because
they are in the lead seems either uncaring or lazy.
I still love ya Bart but instead of justifying
Hillary because she's highest in the polls
couldn't you tell us why you support her over
the other candidates. Thanks.
John L
Any Democrat would be light years better than Bush or any Republican.
I think it would be a hoot to have Bill back in the White House.
As far as "uncaring or lazy," I think I'm just being honest.
Why do most "lefty" sites refuse to say they'll back the Demo nominee?
They can't, because there's too much money to be made slamming Hillary.
It's all about the cash...

Gas prices
Bill Clinton didn't do anything about gas prices because when he was

But after Bush stole his way into power, they started gouging, with

Harry Reid
was Right
by Ted Rall
smirkingchimp.com
Excerpt:
"I believe...that this war is lost," said Harry
Reid. Obviously he's right (and overdue). Amend that: he was right.
Within 24 hours Democrats were backpedaling,
stampeded by the usual onslaught of scorn and pseudo-patriotic
outrage from Fox-fed GOP dead-enders.
"What Harry Reid is saying is that this war is
lost...The war is not lost," Charles Schumer clarified, less than brilliantly.
A letter to the editor of a small paper in Maryland
encapsulated the hawks' strident anti-defeatism. "Reid should be
asked to resign his position as majority leader
and also as senator," wrote one Al Eisner. "Such disgraceful and defeatist
comments represent a total abandonment of our
troops fighting the war against terror and will only embolden the enemy."
Don't speak of ill of the dead, or of their doomed
cause! The enemy, meanwhile, has already booked the banquet hall
for next year's victory celebration.
We haven't just lost in Iraq. For a lot of the
same reasons, the U.S. war against Afghanistan was doomed before it began.

Subject: I hate you
Hey Bartdude,
Read your latest issue and noticed a picture showing
Mexicans crossing over into the U.S.
Question: How come you never show a picture of
bottom of the barrel Europeans invading
the Western Hemisphere and committing genocide
on the Native Americans?
I don't do any graphics.
I only publish what others create.
Besides, the Europeans can't swim that far.
Why are Europeans considered to be "legal" immigrants?
They are not.
It seems you have fallen into the same anti-Native
American, Anti-Hispanic hate orgy
as John Avarios at AmerikkkaBlog.
I don't know John at Ameriblog, but I'm down with
Hispanics and Native Americans.
They're my dawgs.
I will no longer read your blog nor will I encourage
any of my friends to read it as well.
That's a pretty harsh punishment you're putting
on yourself.
How are you going to get by without your daily
dose of Bartcop?
Your continued hate of Hispanic people is now
clear.
It is?
Could you explain it to me?
Maybe you could quote my numerous anti-immigration
rants over the years?
Oh, that's right - you can't because there aren't
any.
I don't even have a position on immigration,
besides the one you invented for me.
Don't you think it's a little crazy to pick one
graphic out of the thousands I've published
and decide that's the perfect summation of my
attitude and alleged biases?
Last weekend, I drove 600 miles to hear a band
sing in Spanish - does that count?
As Dick Cheney said in Congress and I state to
you, "Go Fuck Yourself"
False Prophet
You must've written this drunk because you're not making any sense.
The difference between us is you're full of hate and I'm a friendly
guy.

Subject: Benchmarks
Bush and the Congress are talking about authorizing
funding for Iraq based on "benchmarks"
which require Iraq to accomplish certain feats
to get continued funding. But on the eve of the
Iraqi parliament starting a two month vacation
we already know that Iraq isn't going to meet
the benchmarks. So why bother?
This is all about stalling.
Bush wants to stall because he wants to stick
the failure on the next president.

Iraq Rejects
Occupation
alternet.org
Excerpt:
On Tuesday, without note in the U.S. media, (Of
course not - it's their job to protect Der Monkey)
more than half of the members of Iraq's parliament
rejected the continuing occupation of their country.
144 lawmakers signed onto a legislative petition
calling on Bush to set a timetable for withdrawal.
It's a hugely significant development. Lawmakers
demanding an end to the occupation now have the
upper hand in the Iraqi legislature for the first
time; previous attempts at a similar resolution fell just short
of the 138 votes needed to pass (there are 275
members of the Iraqi parliament, but many have fled the
country's civil conflict, and at times it's been
difficult to arrive at a quorum).

Cheney on
DC Madam's List
He paid for sex while Halliburton CEO
Link
Excerpt:
Wayne Madsen reports that three people confirm
that Cheney, while CEO of Halliburton, was a client
of the escort service of DC Madam, Deborah Jeane
Palfrey. In addition, one of Cheney's closest military
advisers and friends was also a client of the
DC Madam's Pamela Martin & Associates escort service.
Cheney used the escort service while he was a
part time resident of McLean, Virginia.
After intense pressure from the White House and
Disney executives, ABC News killed the story
after having been given exclusive access to Palfrey's
ten years' of phone call records.
We ought to give him this one. Lynne Cheney is right up there in the
ultra-extreme,
harpy-nagging department with Dr
Laura and Nancy Grace.

Why are
the bees dying?
Plants can't grow without pollination
Link
Excerpt:
American beekeepers have been losing between
50 and 90 percent of their honeybees over the past
six months, perplexing scientists, driving honey
prices higher and threatening fruit and vegetable production.
Beginning in October 2006, beekeepers from 24
states reported that hundreds of thousands of their bees
were dying and their colonies were being decimated.
In December 2006 beekeepers associations, scientists
and officials formed the CCD working group, in
hopes to identify the cause and solve "Conoly Collapse Disorder."
This may be a more serious problem than global warming.
Bill Maher quoted Einstein as saying mankind will die out four years
after the bees die.

Whereas he once spoke at Ohio State or the University
of Texas, now he's left with Florida community
colleges or small schools in rural areas that
are run by former aides. But it looks as if it won't be smooth
sailing Friday, even when Bush speaks at Saint
Vincent College, a small Benedictine school in Latrobe, Pa.,
run by Jim Towey, former head of the White House
Office of Faith-Based Initiatives...there are unconfirmed
reports that Benedictine nuns from Erie may be

Blaming
the Iraqis
by Ivan Eland
consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
The U.S. government and the American news media
seem incapable of dealing responsibly
-- or even rationally -- with the disaster that
George W. Bush's invasion has unleashed in Iraq.
So, naturally, all sides prefer to blame the
Iraqis.
To keep the pressure on the administration for
eventual U.S. troop withdrawals, the Democrats
have already begun to blame the Iraqi government
for not meeting benchmarks for progress and
are threatening to include them in legislation.
Some congressional Republicans, sensing another
electoral disaster in 2008, are beginning to mimic
such Democratic arguments. Although the time
is not yet ripe for a congressionally required schedule
for troop withdrawal to override a presidential
veto, the time for blaming the Iraqis and attempting to
impose benchmarks will soon arrive.
