How Not
to Counter Terrorism
by Coleen Rowley & Other Intelligence Veterans
Excerpt:
Wrong-headed actions and ideas had already taken
root before that Senate hearing on June 6, 2002.
Post 9/11 dragnet-detentions of innocents, official
tolerance of torture (including abuse of John Walker Lindh),
and panic-boosting color codes, had already been
spawned from the mother of all slogans - "The Global
War on Terror" - rhetorically useful, substantively
inane. GWOT was about to spawn much worse.
The creation of DHS was clearly a gross misstep
on a purely pragmatic level. It created chaos by
throwing together 22 agencies with 180,000 workers - many
of them in jobs vital to our nation's security,
both at home and abroad.
It also enabled functionaries like the two Michaels - Brown
and Chertoff - to immobilize key agencies
like the previously well-run FEMA, leading to
its feckless response to Hurricane Katrina.
If Bush was a smart crook things would be different.
If he consolidated all that power and did his
damn job and just stole a few billion
here & there, America might actually like
the son of a bitch, but nooo.
He can't do the job - not even close - and he's
raping the U.S. Treasury and treating the military
as pawns to be sacrificed on a whim - and they
continue to trust him, no matter how bad it gets..
Subject: Rudy said...
"What we're lacking is strong, aggressive, bold leadership like we had with Ronald Reagan."
Yes Bart, a swipe at the asshole in chief, but
a lie nonetheless.
Reagan was not a bold leader, he was a man who
simply ran roughshod over human rights.
On his watch, we had hundreds of thousands of
dead in Latin America, we almost went nuclear
with the USSR, because that idiot couldn't keep
his mouth shut in front of a microphone.
He destroyed unions and ushered in the end of
America's manufacturing supremacy. The in-country woes
of the car industry go back to his reign of error.
It was the beginning of the end of America. Greed, venality,
hatred, divisiveness, and sheer dumbness....
That was the Reagan legacy. I left the USA back then, because
I could not stand it, even in liberal Massachusetts.
Reagan was the man who headed the neocon troups in
their quest to destroy the Bill of Rights.
As for the "end of the USSR" that Reaganites still
vaunt to this day....
The USSR was ending long before Reagan.
The Reagan people cloaked themselves in the available
mantle.
Keep hammering Bart
Marton
Reagan also popularized the phrase, 'The blame
America first crowd," which now means
anyone who says anything besides, "America
can do no wrong," is a traitor.
Obama calls Clinton memo 'dumb mistake'
Excerpt:
Barack Obama on Monday said his campaign made
a "dumb mistake" when it circulated a memo
criticizing Hillary's financial ties to India.
In an interview with The Whore AP, Obama disavowed
the memo which carried the headline
"Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab) and referred
to the Clintons' investments in India; her fundraising among
Indian-Americans; and Bill's $300,000 in speech
fees from Cisco, a company that moved jobs to India.
"It was a dumb mistake on our campaign's part
and I made it clear to my staff that it was a mistake,"
Obama told the Whore AP in a brief interview
in which he referred to the memo as "unnecessarily caustic."
Last Thursday, Obama's campaign sent the memo
to reporters, demanding that it not be attributed to their
campaign. The Clinton campaign obtained the document
and sent it to journalists. Since then, it has created
a furor among Indian-Americans and raised questions
about Obama's claims that he is above attack politics.
So, "the campaign" made a mistake?
Either someone has the authority to speak for him or they don't.
I hope this doesn't become a pattern with our possible next president.
Quotes
"I think we've learned a lot from Watergate
and from the handling of controversy
and scandal in all the presidents'
administrations since then. At the same time, I wish
everyone would be more aggressive --
the press and the Congress, and in developing
a fuller system of accountability."
-- Bob Woodward, liar and whore,

Hey Bob, the big lesson from Watergate was "Follow
the money."
You refused to do that this time because all
the money went to to Bush and the oil companies.
It's about the unmetered oil wells, Bob.
That's why the war drags on, because they're stealing
$300M
every day,
maybe as much as $500M,
depending on the price of oil that day

Homelessness on the Rise
After securing Bush's Iraqi oil, he has no use for them
Excerpt:
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed
to a sharp rise in the number of homeless military veterans.
The report shows female veterans were as much
as four times more likely to become homeless than
non-veteran women, with male veterans nearly
twice as likely to become homeless than non-veterans.
And although experiences in combat and Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder are contributing factors to homelessness,
studies have "found no unique association between
combat-related PTSD and homelessness," the report said.
That last sentence is hard to believe. I saw a vet's story on TV - he
would blow up at his wife for no reason,
he can't sleep, he drinks to try to escape his demons and he's just
plain-old hard to live with. Isn't that why
more of them are homeless? Because their spouse asked them to leave?
If they had homes when they left, why don't they have them when they
come home?
It's illegal to seize a soldier's property when he's at war - so what
other reason is there?

Quotes
"Bush attended the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast.
At the breakfast,
Bush showed off his Spanish by ordering
'El Capitan Cruncho.'"
-- Conan O'Brien
Subject: Giuliani and Reagan
Bart,
Well enough is enough. I get so sick of
hearing about how tough Reagan was using those movie lines
when he couldn't think of anything original.
Oh well, I wonder why Reagan's supporters think he was so tough.
Perhaps they are forgetting: (1) Osama bin Laden
was trained as part of the Mujahedin under Reagan's watch;
(2) Ronnie traded arms to the Iranians for hostages
and admitted it
(3) his pathetic response to the suicide bombers
in Beirut who killed 220 U.S. Marines.
You may recall that the French lost far fewer
soldiers and they responded by pulverizing terrorist camps
in the Beka valley, and big bad Reagan put the
surviving Marines on a ships and brought them home.
But I guess those three responses had dothing
to do with empowering the terrorists. Go figure.
Keep up the good work,
Mike in Gainesville
The Reagan myths exist because the Democrats refused
to set the record straight.
When Reagan died, the Dems all stood in line
to talk about what a great president he was,
which is horseshit. You don't have
to trash a guy at his funeral but you also don't have to
agree with every lie the Fascist bastards tell
about him.
And again, if Reagan was such a great president,
why did Bush hide all his papers?
What did Reagan do that must be hidden from us?
Iraq 'Sinking
Fast
Ranked No. 2 on List of Unstable States
Excerpt:
Iraq now ranks as the world's second most unstable
country, ahead of war-ravaged or poverty-stricken
nations such as Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast,
Congo, Afghanistan, Haiti and North Korea, according
to the 2007 Failed States Index, issued yesterday
by the Fund for Peace and Foreign Policy magazine.
Despite billions of dollars in foreign aid and
the presence of more than 150,000 U.S. troops, Iraq has
declined steadily over the past three years,
according to the index. It ranked fourth last year, but its score
dropped in almost all of the 12 political, economic,
security and social indicators on which the index is based.
All those amputated troops (and all those dead troops) and all those
hundreds of billions of dollars
lost and stolen and the Giggling Murderer can't even stabilize the
damn place?

"It's time to start thinking cold-bloodedly
about what we might yet eke out of Iraq.
An intriguing possibility is on display
in Anbar province, where U.S. troops have formed
an alliance with Sunni insurgents for
the common purpose of killing al-Qaida jihadists.
These insurgents were killing American
soldiers just a few months ago. They may resume
doing so, once this operation is complete.
Such is the nature of coalition warfare, especially
when our original coalition partners
have largely pulled out of the war."

S.C. warehouse fire kills 9 firefighters
Excerpt:
"Nine brave, heroic, courageous firefighters
of the city of Charleston have perished fighting fire in
a most courageous and fearless manner, carrying
out their duties," Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said.
"To lose nine is just a tragedy of immense proportions,"
Riley said. "To lose nine is just unbelievable."
Quotes
"Some argue that the new strategy is failing
because, despite gains in Baghdad and Anbar,
violence has increased elsewhere in
the country, such as Diyala province. This gets things
backwards: Our troops have succeeded
in improving security conditions in precisely those parts
of Iraq where the "surge" has focused.
Al-Qaida has shifted its operations to places like Diyala
in large measure because we have made
progress in pushing them out of Anbar and Baghdad."
-- Kissyface, who wants you to believe what he just said makes sense,

Hey Joe, let's say you have a city out of control, big riots at 5th
and Main. So you send in 1,000 cops,
and they succeed in quieting 5th and Main, but now 15th and Broadway
is in flames with 95 dead.
What have you gained?
Back when he was telling the truth, McCain called this "Whack-a-Mole,"
which it is.
The way to win this war was to start with 400,000 troops like all the
generals said to send,
but Bush wanted choas so they could loot Iraq with unmetered oil wells
so now we pay the price.
No time to go wobbly, George
Excerpt:
These are the saddest of times and the worst
of times for George W. Bush. His war in Iraq continues
to truck south to join the immigration "reform"
legislation that took up residence at the South Pole some
time ago, and now his remaining friends are urging
him to be the stand-up guy Texans are always telling us
they are. Not even the iron fence of secrecy
and security surrounding the White House can resist the
pressure building on the president to stand up
to pardon Scooter Libby, soon to be sentenced to 24 months
in prison for lying about a crime that
was never committed. He won't be allowed to remain free while his
appeal goes forward. This conviction stinks with
growing pungency with every day Scooter remains in limbo.
The principals are not worried about justice,
but about trying to keep the stink off their robes, judicial and
otherwise. There are villains aplenty.
Hey liar, that crime you say never happened?
Libby obstructed justice, that's why the
crime wasn't uncovered
- because he lied about what happened and concealed
the facts.
If Libby had told the truth, he's be safe at home
while Cheney would be indicted.

What Did
Rumsfeld Know?
by Andrew Sullivan, former Top Bush cheerleader
Excerpt:
Lawrence Di Rita, a former top aide to Mr. Rumsfeld,
said Mr. Rumsfeld had not viewed the photographs
because he had been advised by lawyers that doing
so "could materially affect the ongoing criminal investigation."
He said Mr. Rumsfeld finally looked at the pictures
the day before his Congressional testimony, the same day
he was briefed by General Taguba.
So you're secretary of defense and have been informed
that your troops have grotesquely violated the Geneva
Conventions - on tape and JPGs - and you decide
you don't want to look into it for months because you don't
want to jeopardize the investigation? Are we
really supposed to believe this? Now look at who Sy Hersh's
source is: not an anonymous leaker, but a general
of impeccable integrity and credibility whom the Pentagon
had itself relied on to do the investigation.
It doesn't get more damning than this.

Geronimo's Kin Wants Remains returned
Excerpt:
Legend has it that Yale University's
ultrasecret Skull and Bones society Prescott
Bush (R-Hitler-Lover)
swiped the remains of American Indian leader
Geronimo nearly a century ago from an Army outpost in Oklahoma.
Now, Geronimo's great-grandson wants the remains
returned.
Harlyn Geronimo, 59, of Mescalero, N.M., wants
to prove the skull and bones taken from Fort Sill, Okla.,
are indeed those of his great-grandfather. They're
now said to be in a stone tomb that serves as the club's headquarters.

GOP begins snubbing Bush
Excerpt:
Republican House members upset about immigration
policy have spoken of Bush in disparaging terms.
And presidential contenders like Giuliani are
striking change-the-course themes in their rhetoric, even while
continuing to back Bush over the Iraq war. The
change, say GOP operatives, is the absence of fear about
being perceived as something less than an ardent
Bush backer. "What's the penalty now, Karl being mad at you?"
Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio asked with
a laugh, referring to Bush political adviser Karl Rove.
'Who cares? Even his former chief strategist
(Matthew Dowd) walked away from him and pissed all over him.'"

Who is the real Obama?
Excerpt:
On page 10 of Audacity of Hope, Obama
proudly proclaims he believes "in the free market,
competition, and entrepreneurship, and think
many government programs don't work as advertised ."
Just like the DLC!
He states, "I think America has more often been
a force for good than for ill in the world;
I carry few illusions about our enemies, and
revere the courage and competence of our military."
Just like the DLC.
Several pages later, Obama laments the polarization
of our political system, calling it the "smallness of our politics."
He states, in an obvious slam to the very faction
of the Democratic party who supports him, "In distilled form,
though, the explanations of both the right and
the left have become mirror images of each other. They are stories of
conspiracy, of America being hijacked by an evil
cabal . A government that truly represents these Americans (those
"who are going about their business every day") - that
truly serves these Americans - will require a different kind of politics."
Say it with me just like the DLC!
