Iraq's Endless 'False Hopes' 
  by Robert Parry

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
Two-and-a-half years ago at another "turning point" in the Iraq War, columnists at the WaHoPo
and other leading American newspapers were ecstatic over how the Iraqi national election was 
finally fulfilling the neoconservative dream of remaking the Muslim world.

But remember back to those happy days in winter 2005 when Bush was the toast of Washington 
after his Second Inaugural Address that used the words "freedom" and "liberty" a staggering 42 times. 
Just 10 days later, U.S. commentators cheered themselves hoarse over the "purple-finger" election in Iraq.

Now, however, some of the same columnists who praised the Jan. 30, 2005, election are denouncing it 
as a failure that must be undone so Bush's newest "turning point" - the "surge" - can achieve its fullest potential.
 

I saw some Pentagon Monkey say yesterday that "the next six months will be decisive."
Haven't we been told "the next six months" ad nauseum?

Bush needs another 17 months of soldiers dying so he can blame Hillary for his quagmire.

Quotes

"The GAO report really amounts to asking someone to kick an 80-yard field goal 
  and criticizing them when they came up 20 or 25 yards short.
     -- John Boner, (R-Big Cancer) on the House floor,   Link

 
"Sorry, I have cigarette smoke in my eyes..."

Boner, as always, is lying.
He pretends that the White House did not agree that Iraq would kick the 80 yeard field goal.

Whenever someone tells you the benchmarks are "unrealistic," ask them why 
the White House agreed to "unrealistic" benchmarks in the first place.

A better retort might be, "It was only a 20 yard field goal until you moved the goal posts."

How to Change Iraq
 by Madeleine Albright

 Link

 Excerpt:
The threshold question in any war is: What are we fighting for? Our troops deserve a convincing answer. 
In Iraq, the list of missions that were tried on but didn't fit includes: protection from weapons of mass destruction, 
creating a model democracy in the Arab world, punishing those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks and 
stopping terrorists from catching the next plane to New York. The latest mission, linked to the "surge" of troops 
this year, was to give Iraqi leaders the security and maneuvering room needed to make stabilizing political 
arrangements -- which they have thus far shown little interest in doing.

A cynic might suggest that the military's real mission is to enable Bush 
to continue denying that his invasion has evolved into disaster.
 

Where are the military families?
When this war is over, they're going to ask for our help and our money.
Why are they refusing to help the blind and ignorant fools currently enlisting?
How many deaths and amputations could they prevent by speaking out NOW?

Why are they silent?
Why are the families of the dead soldiers silent?
What are they waiting for?

"Bush asks everyone to wait for the Petraeus report, but then he goes on about the surge's progress

Funny times for the Clintons
 by Joanna Weiss, Globe Staff

 Link

 Excerpt:
It's odd to think of Bill Clinton as relatively muted, but then, he's an elder statesman now. 
He trods across the landscape a bit like Keith Richards or Sting: a world figure, an icon of sorts, 
but not so much a rock star anymore.

On a recent trip to Africa, he told Letterman, "I saw female lions go after warthogs while 
the male lions just lay there and watched. Which I thought was good preparation for my future."
 

I have no idea what this idiot is trying to say - do you?
It reads like Jonanne Weiss's editor told her to write something snarky about Hillary
and she was out of time so she just strung a bunch of half-assed sentences together.

Contest

Tell us what the hell the point of this column is.
Does she like the Clintons? Does she hate Hillary?
What was the point?  What was the column's focus?
Did she say anything, or was she just handing in a column under deadline?

100 words Maximum, deadline is Noon Central on Friday, tomorrow.

Winner gets a pair of shotglasses or a WPE t-shirt or 90-day subscription - your choice.

 Here's my submission, Bart!
 

Subject: RE: Robert Higgins

Hello,

My name's Jenny and I was a good friend of Robert's.  I know he loved this place.

I'm very sorry to inform you that yesterday I got an e-mail from his sister-in-law stating that 
he'd died in his trailer around 8-25 and was found September 1st.  That's all I know now 
- waiting and hoping to receive more explanation.  I'll pass it along if you'd like.

I'm sure you'll miss him, too.  He was really one of a kind.  
We were friends for 15 years and I'd have to say he was my best friend, ever.

Jenny in New York
 

Jenny, thanks for that.
The last time I heard from Robert was August 2 this year - he wrote:

Bart, I cannot say with a 100% certainty there is no god, 
but I can say with a 100% that no one knows.

Thanks for letting us know.
Robert was 86 - I assume he lived a full life.

 Excerpt:
The National Coalition of American Nuns is impelled by conscience to call you to act promptly

Quotes

"The pattern is now clear: Demand that everyone else withhold judgment on Iraq until some new 
assessment arrives, announce that you're doing whatever you want to do no matter what, declare 
the ensuing debate to be too late, and then start the whole process over again six or nine months 
down the road by demanding that everyone withhold judgment again. It may not be any way to 
wage a war, but Bush's political tactics -- and the deaths of a few hundred more American soldiers 
in the meantime -- seem certain to buy him enough time to kick the problem to his successor."

Subject: Dems irrational hatred of her

What I don't get about all of this Hillary hatred is why our own side is so intent on destroying her 
and shooting ourselves in the foot come election day.  If you don't like Hillary, fine, vote for Obama, 
John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich or whoever, but don't go around calling her the friend of Bush or Hitler 
or any other despot before we even see what she has planned to do should she be elected.

Subject: Freshman senator

Bart:

Yes, Hillary was "born a po' black chile."  What power did she have to vote against a war?

There you go again - nobody said she was powerless to vote.

Well, I suppose the same power that freshman NY Senator Bobby Kennedy had
when he voted against Vietnam time and again.

Gees, that was before my time, Gramps.

But then, Bobby was a leader and not just interested in covering his political ass.

Hillary's crime: She's not a martyred Kennedy.

Also, nobody had to deal with the "he was for it before he was against it" argument more than Bobby did.
He was Attorney General when his brother started increasing the troop levels to begin with.

Please, Bart.  This is the age of the internet.  American history is right at everybody's fingertips.
You and O'Reilly (not that I'm comparing you) seem to forget that.  O'Reilly does it when he says that he's
always argued a particular point of view, but there are You-tube clips everywhere of him arguing the opposite.

You do it when Hillary votes with corporatists and war mongers, and you tell us
that her political position is different from anyone else who ever lived.

Her political position is different.
Do you see anyone else getting pummeled by both sides?

Com'on!  Enough with the "a freshman senator from NY has no power" bullshit.
 Jim H.

Again, nobody said she was powerless.
I said she was the new kid in town, why call her instead of Shane?

Zogby: Hillary leads in Iowa

 Link

 Excerpt:
After months of nipping at the heels of John Edwards among likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers, 
Hillary has made a move to the top of the heap in the race for her party's presidential nomination, 
a new NewsMax/Zogby telephone poll shows.

Clinton's move up in Iowa replicates what she has done nationally, building a powerhouse campaign
and benefiting in part from the positive opinions of her husband, the survey shows.

Clinton leads with 30%, followed by Edwards at 23% and Obama at 19%.

Craig Reversal: GOP Shock Turns to Anger
 More 'Men's Room Perv' headlines to come

 Link

 Excerpt:
After today's Republican policy lunch ... you should see the Republicans repeat that this is a done deal 
and that we expect a new senator from Idaho very soon. The White House is not going to change its tune either," 
said a senior GOP leadership aide whose White House reference suggests a coordinated message.

Said another top GOP Senate aide: "This could very well be the story that never was. Craig has given himself 
a September 30 deadline to clear an ethics committee that likely hasn't started its investigation, reverse an 
adjudicated crime, and assemble a jury and retry the matter - to the extent that it is even an option. 
It's hard to imagine any, let alone all, of those items can be done in that time frame."
 

All this for a misdemeanor?
Can't they just accept that the GOP is a bunch of confused, gay-hating homosexuals?

Subject: Wide-stance Larry

Hello Bart,

I think old Larry should stay.
These so called police sting operations, which are all too common all over this country and many others
are an absolutely disgraceful waste  of our tax-payer dollar. Don't the police have anything better to do
than sit in mens-room stalls waiting to be approached/hit-on by some  sad closeted homosexual ?

Where is the victim in this "crime".  So, what if somebody is tapping his foot in the stall next to you?
Maybe  he's got his iPod cranking out his favorite Streisand song ?  Who  knows ? What you do
in such a situation is ignore the tapping, go about your business and leave. End of story.

I also think that old Larry should fight this bum rap (pardon the pun!) and end his ugly career
finally doing some good by exposing  these sexually-repressed, over-zealous, toilet-lurking cops.
You go, Larry !  The gays are behind you all the way on this one !
 Colum in San Diego
 

Actually, we don't know the circumstances, do we?
If that cop was just using the rest room and Larry kept bothering him, the bust was legit.
But if the cop stayed in there for 45 minutes, maybe others might think he was broadcasting.

It's no surprise we can't get the facts from the whore media.
 

Sidebar: I wonder if our gay brothers and sisters are weirding out about all the "perv" talk?

Bush knew there were no WMDs
  by Sidney Blumenthal

 Link

 Excerpt:
On Sept. 18, 2002, Tenet told Bush in the Oval Office that Saddam did not have WMDs, according to 
two former senior CIA officers. Bush dismissed as worthless this information from the Iraqi foreign minister, 
a member of Saddam's inner circle, although it turned out to be accurate in every detail. Tenet never brought it up again.

The next day, Tenet briefed Bush on Sabri. "Tenet told me he briefed the president personally," said a CIA officer. 
According to Tenet, Bush's response was to call the information "the same old thing." Bush insisted it was simply 
what Saddam wanted him to think. "The president had no interest in the intelligence," said the CIA officer. 
The other officer said, "Bush didn't give a fuck about the intelligence. He had his mind made up."
 

And what was the result of Bush's hardon for Iraq's oil?

Subject: Obama

Hi Bart, I do not know if you have seen Obama's op ed piece in today's Daily News.

Its incredible, this (man) that has been screaming that he would have never committed the same mistake 
Hillary did if he had been in the Senate at the time is now falling for the same propaganda Hillary did 
and is advocating action against Iran.  

Oh yeah, we can all see how much smarter he is now. 
We always knew he was a lightweight and minor league, but now we have the proof.

I still do not forgive Hillary, though I will vote for her if she is the candidate, but I certainly
will not be voting for Obama in the primaries.  He is just as full of shit as all other pretenders.  

Really pathetic.  Please save us Al.

Did anyone else see where the Supreme Handjob Ayatolah has cut back Ahmahandjob's power?
The Ayatollah took out Ahmahandjob's Karl Rove and his Cheney, putting moderates there, instead.
Maybe the Ayatollahs are the sane people in Iran?

Iran needs to be stopped before they get nukes, but Bush ain't the guy to do it.
Bush attacking Iran will be seen as just another anti-Muslim oil snatch - and who needs that?

Subject: You're Right - It's A [Political] Knife Fight

Bart,

When the stakes are this high and the money involved is this great, how can we be so naive as Democrats 
to think that we can win without a defense that is up to the task? Actually, I think many moderate Repubs 
would respect Dems more if they saw that we were willing to  actually fight for what we believe in.

I'm all for taking the high road and dignity but if some bully-ass, chickenshit, insane mutha is coming at me 
with a knife I'm going to take the necessary defensive actions and not just stand there hoping  I don't bleed 
too much when they're done cutting me.

CY, if you believe in defending yourself, you must be pro-torture.

Shame shame shame...

Subject: Power of 10 stats

Bart, on Power of 10 (yeah there's nothing better on on a tuesday nite) Drew asks the
percentage of people in the US who think tours of duty in Iraq should be limited to two tours.

Subtract the percentage of Bush deadenders (29%) from 100% to get the answer - 71%.

Know your time is precious but I don't have many peers to talk to.

True or false: Can Bush tell difference?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Is Bush able to distinguish truth from falsehood? Is he too caught up in spin master double-talk to grasp the difference? 
After reading his talk to the VFW last week, I think that at this stage of his presidency he is utterly incapable of honest 
communication with the rest of the country.

Objectively, his claim that the United States can win in Iraq and his history of the Vietnam War go far beyond the 
boundaries of truth. It follows logically from all the falsehoods going back to Iraq's WMDs. It is contradicted by the 
intelligence estimate released the same day by the director of National Intelligence. The killing continues, the Iraq 
government is not improving, the war continues.

Why does the president continue to deny the obvious, even when his own intelligence agency affirms it?

Craig supporters blame the Airport
 Seriously, would we make up something this stupid?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Supporters of Sen. Larry Craig with the American Land Rights Association are calling for 
a boycott of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport.

They say airport police who arrested the senator in a men's room sex sting are responsible 
for weakening private property rights in the West.  The association says the airport should 
apologize to Craig for what it calls "ambushing" the senator.
 

How dare they trick Craig into bumping shoes with an undercover cop!
How dare they force Craig to wave his hands under the other guy's stall!

...all this, for some land snatching.

"Clintons stole my manuscript"
  Charge made by Kathleen Willey

 Link

 Excerpt:
Kathleen Willey claims a burglar nabbed one of two manuscripts for her upcoming book about the Clintons.
The theft of the manuscript early Saturday morning was suspicious, coming only days after the first mainstream 
media mention of her upcoming book.

A friend, a former private investigator, advised her to look in the woods around her house. 
There she found her purse, with the credit cards inside and only the cash, a small amount, missing.
 

If I was Kathleen Willey, I'd buy a burglar alarm and use it every night.
If you open a window to Casa de Bart at night, an unbelievably-loud alarm shreiks 
and an old, grumpy bastard with bad knees appears with a Glock in each hand.

Bush Puts Iran in Crosshairs 
  by Ray McGovern

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
Not another warning about war with Iran! Well, suck it up. Bush's speech Tuesday makes clear 
his plan to attack Iran, and how the intelligence, like with Iraq, is being "fixed around the policy."
 
It's not about putative Iranian "WMDs" - not even ostensibly. It is about the requirement for a scapegoat 
for U.S. reverses in Iraq, and the felt need to create a casus belli by provoking Iran in such a way as to 
"justify" armed retaliation - perhaps extending to an attempt to destroy its nuclear-related facilities.
 

Does the average Israeli on the street want a wider war in his backyard?
