Iraq

Cheney is a smart guy. He keeps Bush in the front lines taking the insults and fumbling over his lines, but there should be no question who's running things.

In this interview broadcast on C-Span in 1994 Cheney lays out the scenario of what would happen if we took out Saddam Hussein. He predicted our current situation to the t.

There were no surprises in Iraq. Cheney knew exactly what he was getting us into and yet he did it anyway.

With the stunning success achieved by the Bush administration in Iraf, it's surprising that the liberation of this little known country between Iraq and Iran has received so little attention.

"It's actually become something of a problem..." political analyst Peter Finch stated when we interviewed him. "With so many countries in the middle east eagerly waiting for us to liberate them, we just can't afford to fund what amounts to extended vacations for thousands of American soldiers."

"Ordering a troop withdrawal would reek havoc on moral." Said a high ranking military official speaking on the condition of anonymity. "The troops just don't want to leave."

With Bush set to start promoting his plan to oust the blood thirsty Czar of Tajikistan early next year, many believe that he may face difficulty convincing the American public that conquering another third world country could possibly be as fun as Iraf was.

"I think this is a perfect example of how the liberal media likes to spin the news." Said Rush Limbaugh in a recent show. "Iraf is proof that taking over other countries for no reason can be both fun and profitable, there's no reason Tajikistan would be any exeption, but all the liberals want to do is focus on the negative."

Yeah you tell 'em man!

The Bush administration did a good job of convincing the American public of how evil and dangerous Saddam Hussein was, but as you will see in the following video, the United States not only knew about Saddam's genocides and human rights abuses, we actually encouraged them and even helped him carry it out.

It's amazing that this man managed to get through their careful crowd screening process, but then again he is a CIA analyst, so he doesn't exactly fit the description of the raving anti-war protesters that they are no doubt on the lookout for.

In this rare on camera admission Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld states that the Pentagon has lost track of approximately 2.3 Trillion dollars. 2.3 trillion, as in 2,300 billion dollars. According to several pentagon employees the books are cooked. I'd say that that's something of an understatement.

What do we expect though, really? We give organizations such as the cia an the nsa the authority to conduct top secret activities in multiple countries and we wonder how money ends up missing. These people know that they can get away with whatever they want to, and as long as we allow them to continue to operate in secret this kind of thing will continue ad infinitum.

Poll Shows 1 in 3 Americans Still Believe Saddam Involved in 9/11

NEW YORK Six years after the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S., it seems the media still have some educational work to do. A new CBS/New York Times poll reveals that even today, 1 in 3 Americans believe that "Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."

This notion was thoroughly debunked by official sources, including those in the White House, years ago, but the myth endures. Polls have shown that belief in this untruth was a prime component in support for the attack on Iraq.

Four in 10 Republicans still hold this view, compared with 32% of Independents and 27% of Democrats.

The poll of 1,035 adults was taken Sept. 4 to 8.

I don't own a tv, so I would have never seen this video if it weren't for the internet, but since then I have had the chance to see a few more videos of Oreilly in action. My god, this guy is such an idiot. It was satisfying to watch Bill Maher cut his arguments to pieces.

By the way here's one of the pictures of Gulliani in drag that Bill Maher was talking about. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against drag queens or gays, but I'm not the type of person that would vote for Gulliani in the first place. Gulliani is a criminal. He was implicitly involved in the World Trade Center Coverup. But those so called conservatives that would normally vote a guy like Gulliani into power also lean towards the homophobic side of the spectrum. Whatever reason you find for not voting Gulliani is fine with me.

It isn’t really a question; it’s just a way of opening the conversation. Anyone who would defend George Bush’s intelligence should get their head checked. I have listened to enough conservatives to know the classic argument by heart. “He’s not articulate that doesn’t mean he’s not intelligent.” While I could argue that having a firm grasp of one’s native language is a big indicator of intelligence, his way of speaking and his social blunders are hardly the most important issues at hand.

When I say George Bush is an idiot I say it with the whole spectrum of his actions in mind. This is a guy who started an entire war based on a mythical stockpile of chemical and biological weapons thinking somehow no one would notice when we didn’t find any. I don’t care what anyone says about faulty intelligence on the part of the CIA. That’s just bullshit. I was in Mexico when they first started planning the invasion, and in the news papers of Mexico there was clear evidence that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Just a few months before the war was officially declared, Saddam made an open invitation to any country in the world to come and search any facility, and any building, including his private residence to prove that there were no weapons. If Mexican news papers had this information you can be damn sure the CIA did too. They knew, but they also knew that Americans have a short attention span and are far too distracted with the super bowl and American Idol to really stand up for anything.
