America Poised To Strike At Irans Nuclear Sites From Bases In Bulgaria And Romania

"Sofia's news of advanced war preparations along the Black Sea is backed up by some chilling details. One is the settingup of new refuelling places for US Stealth bombers, which would spearhead an attack on Iran. "The USAF's positioning of vital refuelling facilities for its B-2 bombers in unusual places, including Bulgaria, falls within the perspective of such an attack." Novinite named colonel Sam Gardiner, "a US secret service officer stationed in Bulgaria", as the source of this revelation.

Bush KILLS THOUSANDS, Clinton got a BLOWJOB

Cheney increasingly on the defensive

"On Wednesday, a testy Cheney sparred with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer over Iraq and al-Qaida and insisted that Bush administration policies have succeeded in both cases. While he's acknowledged mistakes in Iraq, he bristled when Blitzer suggested that Cheney had lost credibility because of blunders there."

"I just simply don't accept the premise of your question," he said, cutting the interviewer off in mid-sentence. "I just think it's hogwash."
McClatchy Washington Bureau | 01/24/2007 | Cheney increasingly on the defensive
"The president listened too much to the vice president," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told The Politico, a new Capitol Hill publication. McCain, a leading GOP presidential hopeful for 2008, said Bush was "very badly served" by Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who was one of Cheney's closest allies."

"Cheney told CNN that McCain is "a good man" with whom he sometimes disagrees.
Democrats have been more scathing."
"The vice president doesn't know what he's talking about," Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Fox News last Sunday. "He has yet to be right one single time on Iraq. Name me one single time he's been right. It's about time we stop listening to that ideological rhetoric."

Fuck you bush/cheney kiss my ass here

US strikes on al-Qa'ida chiefs kill nomads

"The herdsmen had gathered with their animals around large fires at night to ward off mosquitoes. But lit up by the flames, they became latest victims of America's war on terror".
Independent Online Edition > Africa
"Oxfam yesterday confirmed at least 70 nomads in the Afmadow district near the border with Kenya had been killed. The nomads were bombed at night and during the day while searching for water sources. Meanwhile, the US ambassador to Kenya has acknowledged that the onslaught on Islamist fighters failed to kill any of the three prime targets wanted for their alleged role in the 1998 US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam."

Driving The Hearse Blindfolded

In case you missed it the other night, George Bush took no responsibility for plunging the U.S. and Iraq into a catastrophic war from which there seems to be no exit. To some observers, he appeared to shoulder the onus, but he didn’t.
TomPaine.com - Driving The Hearse Blindfolded
If the political leadership wants to pretend we’re up to our asses in corpses out of sheer goodness, I can’t stop them. But the inevitable result of that fiction is a world that is totally insane. In this vision, an endless stream of dusky foreigners, possessed by evil creeds, continually lure us into their countries and then, in a fit of homicidal ingratitude, turn on us.

No wonder half our adult citizens can’t find France on a map. The world is just too dangerous for them to venture into, unless they’re heavily armed…and even that doesn’t work so well any more. This can’t go on. Americans don’t deserve the truth, they need the truth. And on Wednesday night, they didn’t hear it.

The Real Disaster - New York Times: "President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster. The disaster is Mr. Bush’s war, and he has already failed. Last night was his chance to stop offering more fog and be honest with the nation, and he did not take it.President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster.

The Real Disaster - New York Times

Before Mr. Bush spoke, Americans knew he planned to send more troops to pacify lawless Baghdad. Mr. Bush’s task was to justify that escalation by acknowledging that there was no military solution to this war and outlining the political mission that the military would be serving. We were waiting for him to detail the specific milestones that he would set for the Iraqis, set clear timelines for when they would be expected to meet them, and explain what he intended to do if they again failed.

With Iraq Speech, Bush to Pull Away From His Generals - washingtonpost.com

The honorable thing for this motherfucker to do is go down to the whitehouse basement and blow his fucking brains out.
With Iraq Speech, Bush to Pull Away From His Generals - washingtonpost.com: "In the end, the White House favored the idea of more troops as one visible and dramatic step the administration could take. One senior White House official said this week the president concluded that more troops are not the only ingredient of a successful plan -- but they are a precondition to providing the security the Iraqi government needs for political reconciliation and other reforms.
On Wednesday night, this source said, the president will explain 'that we have to go up before we go down.'"

Snow Falsely Claims That Bush Said ‘Just The Opposite’ Of ‘Mission Accomplished’

Tony Snow trying to rewrite history again. I think this whole administration has lied to the point that they believe their own propaganda.
Think Progress » Snow Falsely Claims That Bush Said ‘Just The Opposite’ Of ‘Mission Accomplished’: "In today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow tried to distance President Bush from his infamous “Mission Accomplished” speech, claiming that Bush said “just the opposite” of “Mission Accomplished”:

"I think the public ought to just listen to what the president has to say. You know that the mission accomplished banner was put up by members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and the president, on that very speech, said just the opposite, didn’t he?"
