War deserter: US must finish job in Iraq to "honor the fallen"

In a speech to the VFW, the AWOL Lying Chickenhawk again linked the Iraq war with September 11 -- a link critics say is an attempt to shift the justification for war.

The White House says the presence in Iraq of al Qaeda-linked insurgents shows the link with terrorism, although the misadministration concedes many of those militants have come into Iraq from other countries since the US invasion.

"We all know that 'noble cause for war' that Bush talks about has changed several times," said Celeste Zappala, part of Cindy Sheehan's group, Gold Star Families for Peace, and whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004 - while assisting with the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.

Cheney has no credibility on Iraq
Dick "five student deferments" Cheney only adds insult to injury with war cheerleading.

Victory in Iraq is "critical to the future security of the US" and the country "must not lose its resolve" to finish the job?

Easy to say when the war doesn't touch you or your family or wealthy friends, who enjoy tax cuts while our soldiers bleed in Iraq and their families struggle with hardships at home.

- from a St Petersburg Times editorial.


Why does Dick hate America?

Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?! Hell no!
Otter: Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S... DO IT!!

This is unbelievable: as Iraq moves closer to becoming an Islamic state, President aWol will launch a new round of speeches to rally support for the war sending our troops there to die.

Senior aides say the Lying WarMonkey will attempt to portray the Iraq conflict like World War II. Vietnam may offer a better analogy.

There were few misgivings about the need to fight World War II because America had been attacked at Pearl Harbor. Most Americans also were eager to stop Hitler from taking over all of Europe.

The same cannot be said of the Iraq war because Saddam Hussein's regime had nothing whatsoever to do with the Sept. 11 attacks. Finding absolutely no signs of weapons of mass destruction - the "smoking mushroom clouds" of the misadministration - also made skeptics of many on the home front.

Aides also said President Blithering Liar will exploit invoke the September 11th attacks, though the 9/11 commission report found no evidence that Iraq had any relationship with al Qaeda. Zip. None.

In fact, the CIA concluded in February that Iraq had become a training ground for terrorists - a state that did not exist before Saddam Hussein's ouster.

So let's review: no ties to 9/11, no wmds, thousands dead, no democracy, more terrorists. A "noble cause" my ass.

Meanwhile, with close to 2000 troops dead to create an Islamic republic in Iraq, 'reality is starting to smack the elitist conservative pundits' - and some congressional republicans iin the face.

Last throes
A noble cause - democracy's on the march!

Iraqi civil war is already underway as militias wrest control across the country:

Shiite and Kurdish militias, often operating as part of Iraqi government security forces, have carried out a wave of abductions, assassinations and other acts of intimidation, consolidating their control over territory across northern and southern Iraq and deepening the country's divide along ethnic and sectarian lines.

"I don't see any difference between Saddam and the way the Kurds are running things here," said Nahrain Toma, who heads a human rights organization in northern Iraq.

And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

World starting to ridicule the 'Boy in the Bubble"

The question of whether Bush was insensitive or out of touch, which had been a flash point in the campaign, was back, and commentators were once again talking about presidential naps.

There once was a word called “accountability”

It meant that when a tragedy or mishap occurs, truthful answers would naturally follow...

You made time for a fund-raiser, time to throw the first pitch at a baseball game, time to meet with foreign heads of government — but no time to meet with and answer the questions of a mother whose son was killed in Iraq?

This is what “war presidents” do. There is no vacation from reality.

"In general, the talk shows that are succeeding are ones that haven't been reliving the election, or constantly harping on the polarization between liberals and conservatives, or referring to Mrs Clinton as 'Hitlery.'"

OK, I made that last part up.

Fat-ass drug-addict Rush Limbaugh's show has lost 43 percent of its audience among 25- to 54-year-olds in the past year. Repulsive pudface Sean Hannity's show is down a whopping 63 percent.

The shift is serious enough that "we're weighing where these shows fit for us in the future," according to Todd Fisher, general manager at KSTP, which carries both programs.

Al Franken is an exception, however. Locally, he has increased his audience share to 2.4 percent of listeners ages 25 to 54, compared with 1.3 last year.

Intense flop-sweat over the Iraq war fiasco has led to a MAJOR flipflop by the WH:

US concessions to Islamists on the role of religion in Iraqi law marked a turn in talks on a constitution, negotiators said on Saturday as they raced to meet a 48-hour deadline under intense pressure by the Bushies to clinch a deal.

The Bush misadministration, who have insisted the constitution must enshrine ideals of equal rights and democracy, declined comment.

Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish negotiators all said there was accord on a bigger role for Islamic law than Iraq had had before.

Bush's folly, like a #ucking albatross, is coming home to roost

With the US death toll climbing, support at home plunging and a stalemate over a constitution stalling the political process, the Iraq war is casting a darkening cloud over George W. Bush's presidency and the misadministration.

Signs of alarm are now starting to surface within Bush's Republican Party, which is fearful that discontent over the war could loosen, if not threaten, its solid hold over Congress in the November 2006 elections.

And I'll cry a river over you...

Yeah!
What he said...

Bob makes a great point. President Bush was more than willing to interrupt another one of his vacations to jump on a plane, travel thousands of miles to Washington, sign Republican legislation on the Terry Schiavo case and fly thousands of miles back to Crawford all for the circus clowns, but interrupting a bike ride to take a walk down the road to meet with Cindy was just too much " hard work" for him. When it comes to God's Own Circus, the President will move heaven and earth.

Investigators who have examined erosion records think they've zeroed in on where Crater's remains may be, but they haven't said when digging will start.

The Liar-in-Chief is facing a growing credibility gap, Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said in an interview after getting a damn good earful from his constituents.

Nebraska, once solidly "Bush country," is now feeling "deep unease" about rising gasoline prices and the war in Iraq.

Senator Hagel acknowledged the US military presence was becoming harder and harder to justify. He believes Iraq faces a serious danger of civil war that would threaten Middle East stability, and said there is little Washington can do to avert this.

"We are seen as occupiers, we are targets. We have got to get out. I don't think we can sustain our current policy, nor do I think we should," he said at one stop.

'He did not die for your freedom'

For those of you who still trust this administration, let me tell you that Chase Johnson Comley did not die to preserve your freedoms. He was not presented flowers by grateful Iraqis welcoming him as their liberator. My nephew died, fighting a senseless war for oil and for contracts, insuring the increased wealth of Bush and his administration's friends.

He died long after George Bush, in his testosterone-charged, theatrical, soldier-for-a-day role, announced on an aircraft carrier beneath the banner, Mission Accomplished, that "major combat was over."

He died in a country erupting into civil war and turned into a hellhole by George Bush, a place where democracy has no chance of prevailing, a country which will, instead, most likely be a theocracy, much like Saudi Arabia.
