Bush's Speech - GOOBER ANNOINTS THE TRUE BELIEVERS WITH MORE OF HIS PUTRID KOOL-AID

King George the Cowardly is pushing to squeeze more American citizens into the hambruger grinder we call Iraq. He pushes his putrid kool-aid onto the heads of the "True Believers" who are blind with greed, but other citizens, who can see
and reason, shake their heads that such a pitiful example of a human could be
placed in such a position of power.

Such is the speech of George "My Pet Goat" Bush!

Maybe this is how Rummie reacts to Bush's speeches

They're just making it up as they go along

Hit by friendly fire
With his polls down, Bush takes flak on Iraq from a host of critics--including some in his own party
By Kevin Whitelaw

Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel is angry. He's upset about the more than 1,700 U.S. soldiers killed and nearly 13,000 wounded in Iraq. He's also aggravated by the continued string of sunny assessments from the Bush administration, such as Vice President Dick Cheney's recent remark that the insurgency is in its "last throes." "Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse. The White House is completely disconnected from reality," Hagel tells U.S. News. "It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq."

That's strikingly blunt talk from a member of the president's party, even one cast as something of a pariah in the GOP because of his early skepticism about the war. "I got beat up pretty good by my own party and the White House that I was not a loyal Republican," he says. Today, he notes, things are changing: "More and more of my colleagues up here are concerned."

Indeed, there are signs that the politics of the Iraq war are being reshaped by the continuing tide of bad news. Take this month in Iraq, with 47 U.S. troops killed in the first 15 days. That's already five more than the toll for the entire month of June last year. With the rate of insurgent attacks near an all-time high and the war's cost set to top $230 billion, more politicians on both sides of the aisle are responding to opinion polls that show a growing number of Americans favoring a withdrawal from Iraq. Republican Sens. Lincoln Chafee and Lindsey Graham have voiced their concerns. And two Republicans, including the congressman who brought "freedom fries" to the Capitol, even joined a pair of Democratic colleagues in sponsoring a bill calling for a troop withdrawal plan to be drawn up by year's end. "I feel confident that the opposition is going to build," says Rep. Ron Paul, the other Republican sponsor and a longtime opponent of the war.

Sagging polls. The measure is not likely to go anywhere, but Hagel calls it "a major crack in the dike." Whether or not that's so, the White House has reason to worry that the assortment of critiques of Bush's wartime performance may be approaching a tipping point. Only 41 percent of Americans now support Bush's handling of the Iraq war, the lowest mark ever in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll. And the Iraq news has combined with a lethargic economy and doubts about the president's Social Security proposals to push Bush's overall approval ratings near all-time lows. For now, most Republicans remain publicly loyal to the White House. "Why would you give your enemies a timetable?" asks House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "[Bush] doesn't fight the war on news articles or television or on polls."

Still, the Bush administration is planning to hit back, starting this week, with a renewed public-relations push by the president. Bush will host Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jafari and has scheduled a major speech for June 28, the anniversary of the handover of power to an Iraqi government from U.S. authorities. But Congress's patience could wear very thin going into an election year. "If things don't start to turn around in six months, then it may be too late," says Hagel. "I think it's that serious."

Bush's exit strategy--which depends on a successful Iraqi political process--got a boost last week when Sunni and Shiite politicians ended weeks of wrangling over how to increase Sunni representation on the constitution-writing committee. Now, however, committee members have less than two months before their mid-August deadline. And given how long it took to resolve who gets to draft the document, it's hard to imagine a quick accord on the politically explosive issues they face.

With our economy in the trash, and our men and women dying in Iraq...why is this ASSHOLE laughing?

MonkeyBoy Bush, before they make up his face

BY TODD J. GILLMAN

The Dallas Morning News


WASHINGTON - (KRT) - The nation's leading civil rights group criticized Texas' senators on Thursday for not co-sponsoring the Senate's apology for its failure to outlaw lynching decades ago.

All but 14 of 100 senators signed onto the resolution of apology, which passed unanimously this week - without objection and without a roll call vote. Neither Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison nor John Cornyn were among the co-sponsors.

"There's clearly a difference between not objecting and working to see to its passage," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau. "The position they took seems to be one of indifference. If you look at the problem of lynching when it was in its heyday, it was a problem because good people did nothing. ... And they (the Texas senators) did nothing."

Senate records show that 18 of the co-sponsors signed the day the resolution was passed, and seven signed a day or two afterward, taking advantage of a little-used rule. Liberal blogs have excoriated the holdouts, accusing them of insensitivity or overt racism.

The Texas senators, both Republicans, maintain they supported the apology but saw no reason to co-sponsor it.

"You don't need to co-sponsor something to be in favor of it. There's many things that pass the Senate every day that many people don't co-sponsor," said Hutchison spokesman Chris Paulitz. "Sen. Hutchison abhors lynching and believes it was a horrific part of our past - and as we saw with the James Byrd (Jr.) incident, (in) our not too distant past."

In 1998, Byrd, a black man, was chained to a pickup by three white men and dragged to death in Jasper, Texas. Hutchison was the highest-ranking state official at his funeral.

Passage was assured by the time it was circulated to Hutchison's office, Paulitz said, and aides saw no need to urge her to sign, especially since she rarely co-sponsors bills that she didn't help write.

Cornyn spokesman Don Stewart said a number of misguided complaints have reached the office in the past few days, from callers who wanted to know why he supports lynching. Some erroneously believed that he voted against the resolution.

"It was a unanimous vote, and his vote shows that he supported what the resolution said," Stewart said. "Lynching is illegal at the local, state and federal level and has been for a long time. This was a resolution about what the Senate filibustered years ago.{ellipsis}This was supposed to be a somber, sincere reflection on the mistakes of the past, and it's become a political cudgel for some that want to misconstrue the nature of the process."

Cornyn inserted comments of support in the Senate record, calling the "era of widespread lynching in our nation's history deplorable."

According to the NAACP, there were 4,742 documented lynchings in 43 states from 1882 to 1968.

From 1920 to 1940, the U.S. House passed anti-lynching bills three times. But Southern lawmakers choked the proposals in the Senate. Historians and civil rights groups - including the NAACP, founded as a direct response to lynchings - blame the Senate's inaction for later waves of violence and for resistance to voting rights and desegregation.

The resolution of apology was written by Sens. George Allen, a Virginia Republican, and Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat.

Eggplants are smarter than Bushy..Terri Schiavo was more alert than Bushy

Recently, in a speech trying to get people to keep the evil "Patriot Act" alive and well and consuming and destroying our liberties...old WHINEY as I shall call King George the Cowardly, said this

"Bush also pressed Congress to renew the expiring provisions on Thursday in Ohio.

"It doesn't make any sense to me, that if something is working, why should it expire," Bush said Friday."

Let's see, that's good Georgie Porgie. They should not have my driver's license expire, nor my insurance coverage, nor my credit cards...YIPEEEEE...let's have a no expire country. Plus, people should not expire...which means, you inspire, but holding your breath forever!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reopened Terri Schiavo's case yesterday by asking a prosecutor to review a perceived delay by her husband in seeking medical help after her collapse 15 years ago.

Two days after an autopsy appeared to put allegations against Michael Schiavo to rest, Bush asked Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernard McCabe to look into what the governor called an unexplained 40- to 70-minute gap between Terri Schiavo's Feb. 25, 1990, collapse and her husband's call to 911.

Calling the request an "outrage," Michael Schiavo accused the governor of attempting to deflect attention from the autopsy findings, which concluded that his wife was not strangled or beaten at the time of her collapse, as her parents had alleged. Why she collapsed remains undetermined.

The governor said he contacted McCabe based on two conflicting statements by Michael Schiavo. In a 2003 interview on "Larry King Live," Michael Schiavo said he heard his wife fall around 4:30 a.m., the same time he told the medical examiner's office. Later, during the 2000 trial on his wife's end-of-life wishes, he said he heard a "thud" and raced to find his wife lying in the hallway about 5 a.m.

Yet, according to the autopsy report, paramedics weren't summoned until 5:40 a.m.

Bruce Bartlett, McCabe's chief assistant, said his office would look into what he called "definitely a discrepancy with the time."

Terri Schiavo died March 31 — 13 days after her feeding tube was withdrawn under a court order won by her husband.

The courts agreed Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state, had no chance of recovering and never wanted to be kept alive by artificial means. Yet, the Florida Legislature and U.S. Congress passed extraordinary measures aimed at keeping her alive.

==========SNIP===========
I APPLAUD JEB BUSH FOR THIS. Most people know the old CodeWarrior is opposed to just about everything the Bush boys do, but I support Jeb Bush's actions with regard to the Schiavo matter, but only with regard to the Schiavo matter.

Former Bush Cabinet Member Appears On Alex Jones Show; Says Government Complicit In 9/11

Prison Planet | June 16 2005

Former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds has made waves in the past few days after writing a detailed article stating tha the official explanation for the collapse of the twin towers and Building 7 was bogus.

United Press International picked up on the story today and this forced a response from the Texas A&M University, at which Reynolds holds the title of Professor Emeritus-an honorary title bestowed upon select tenured faculty, who have retired with ten or more years of service.

Dr. Robert M. Gates, President of Texas A&M University stated, "The American people know what they saw with their own eyes on September 11, 2001. To suggest any kind of government conspiracy in the events of that day goes beyond the pale.”

All the American people saw on 9/11 was planes fly into buildings. As we have relentlessly documented, the government explanation as to how and why this happened is provably ridiculous.

Furthermore, Americans saw the unprecedented event of multiple steel buildings supposedly collapsing from fire damage, the first time this happened in history.

Reynolds appeared on the Alex Jones Show to discuss his article and the reaction he received after the mainstream media picked it up.

The four potential explanations behind 9/11 were listed.

1) It was entirely the work of Al-Qaeda and Arab hijackers.

2) The government had prior knowledge of the attack but their incompetence allowed the attack to happen.

3) The government knew the attack was coming and consciously allowed it to happen.

4) The government ran the entire operation.

Reynolds stated, "I'd have to say that the evidence points to the last."

He later stated that the official explanation of the attack was "full of holes, everywhere you look it just doesn't hang together."

Reynolds was on the broadcast for over an hour and discussed how he woke up to the lie, the collapse of the buildingsin depth and the wider issues surrounding 9/11. He describes his mixed emotions about stepping out from the shadows and standing up for the truth at the risk of alienation from his peers.

Bill would halt library record searches

The Albuquerque Tribune: Local
Udall's book law gets cheers
Bill would halt library record searches

By Jakob Schiller
Tribune Reporter
June 17, 2005

Local librarians, bookstore owners and civil libertarians applauded U.S. Rep. Tom Udall on Thursday after the House passed an amendment he co-sponsored that prohibits the FBI from using the Patriot Act to search library and bookstore records.

"We're ecstatic that it at least passed through the House," said Camila Alire, dean of university libraries at the University of New Mexico.

Glen Loveland, press secretary for Udall, a Santa Fe Democrat, said the amendment, which is attached to an appropriations bill, will keep the FBI from spending any money to enforce Section 215 of the act, which allows for the searches.

The House passed the amendment by a vote of 238-187. In a press release, Udall commended both parties for their "deep concerns" over the issue.

A similar amendment to the appropriations bill lost last year after it tied in the House 210-210.

It is unclear how the Senate will approach the amendment, and the White House issued a statement saying President Bush will veto it if it reaches his desk, Loveland said.

Nonetheless, local book aficionados say Udall deserves credit.

"I'm very proud of Udall," said Nancy Rutland, owner of Bookworks, 4022 Rio Grande Blvd. N.W. "I think there is a chilling effect on people's freedoms when they think the government can see what they're reading."

Udall's office said Section 215 allows the FBI to conduct the searches in secret and without probable cause. It gives them access to library circulation records, library patron lists, book sales records and book customer lists.

Eileen Longsworth, the director of the Albuquerque and Bernalillo County library system, said people have told her they are afraid to read certain books because of the law.

"When you have the concept of the FBI looking over your shoulder, people feel constrained and they are not comfortable reading what they want to read," Longsworth said. The Patriot Act bars Longsworth from commenting on whether the FBI has ever searched any of the library's records.

She said local or state law enforcement officials sometimes ask to see library records, but they have to have a court-ordered subpoena as part of the New Mexico Library Privacy Act.

Udall's office said Section 215 along with 15 other provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire at the end of the year. Both the House and the Senate are examining how to approach reauthorization, but Udall has pledged to maintain his amendment throughout, Loveland said.

Senators want info on base closings

The Telegraph OnlineSenators want info on base closings
Lawmakers say they will subpeona date used in decisions

By The Associated Press

Published: Monday, Jun. 6, 2005

Sens. Susan Collins and Joseph Lieberman said Sunday they remain ready to use subpoena power to force the Pentagon to release the information used to support its base closing recommendations.

The senators said Saturday’s release of some documents was a step in the right direction, but they will not tolerate further foot-dragging.

“Fortunately, and perhaps spurred by the threat of an impending subpoena, (the Department of Defense) seems finally to have begun to understand that it has to comply with the law’s requirement to release information,” the senators said. “But we are beyond frustrated at how little – and of how little use – the information is that has been released so far.

“While we hope this release indicates that the Pentagon has finally concluded that it must comply with the law and that a subpoena will not prove necessary, a subpoena has been drafted, and we will proceed to issue it if the Department does not make significant and rapid progress in releasing the remaining information.”

The senators wrote to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on May 27 saying that the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs would issue a subpoena unless the data was released promptly.

Collins, R-Maine, is chairwoman of the committee and Lieberman, D-Conn., is the ranking Democrat.

Connecticut was the hardest hit by the recommendations, with four facilities making the list, including the U.S. Naval Submarine Base in Groton. The state would lose about 8,600 jobs – nearly 30 percent of the net national job losses.

In Maine, nearly 8,000 jobs would be eliminated by closing the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on the New Hampshire border and a Defense Finance Accounting Service center in northern Maine, as well as stripping aircraft and half of the military personnel from Brunswick Naval Air Station.

"I strongly believe that the world needs to share technologies on nuclear power. I don't see how you can be diversified away from hydrocarbons unless you use clean nuke.

And so we need to work together on developing technologies that will not only ensure people that nuclear power will be safe, but that we can dispose of it in a safe way.

I tell you, an interesting opportunity, for not only here but for the rest of the world, is biodiesel.

That is a fuel developed from soybeans. I'd kind of in jest like to travel our country saying, Wouldn't it be wonderful if some day the president sat down and looked at the crop report? He'd say, 'Man, we got a lot of soybeans. Means we're less dependent on foreign sources of energy.'

We're spending money to figure out how best to refine soy into diesel."

CNN.com - Police shoot teen to end�earthmover chase - Jun 3, 2005

CNN.com - Police shoot teen to end�earthmover chase - Jun 3, 2005CNN) -- A 14-year-old boy who allegedly stole an earthmover and led Tucson, Arizona, police on a 15-mile chase was critically wounded Thursday night when officers fired on the tractor as it sped toward them, a police official said.

The unidentified teen was in critical condition after being airlifted to a hospital, according to Tucson Assistant Police Chief Kermit Miller.

He apparently began his ride after stealing the large earthmover from a construction site, Miller said.

The chase began at about 8 p.m. (10 p.m. EDT) after police noticed scattered power outages in a neighborhood on Tucson's east side. They soon realized the Caterpillar bulldozer had knocked down utility poles along the road, Miller said.

He said the teen drove the construction vehicle up to 30 miles per hour at times with as many as 15 police cruisers chasing him.

After a 15-mile chase, the bulldozer turned around in an eastside Tucson residential area and began driving downhill toward the police cruisers, Miller said. That was when two officers fired shots, with at least one round hitting the teen, Miller said.

"We're assuming he was going to go over the vehicles in the roadway with the officers in them," Miller said.

Miller said police had no other way to stop the large vehicle other than to shoot.

There were no other injuries, Miller said.

Along the chase route, some utility poles and other property was damaged, he said.

Amnesty International throws down the guantlet: Let the world see American ‘gulag’

* Irene Khan hits back
* Says US response lacks substance

TOKYO: The head of Amnesty International on Thursday hit back at US outrage over the group labelling Guantanamo Bay a “gulag” and challenged Washington to open the military detention centre to outside inspections.

US President George W Bush and other government figures have said they were shocked when the human rights group accused the United States of running “a new gulag of prisons around the world beyond the reach of the law and decency”.

The secretary general of London-based Amnesty International, Irene Khan, on Thursday defended the comment and said the US response lacked substance and was “defensive and dismissive”. “We have not seen from them a more detailed response to the concerns we have expressed in our report,” she told a news conference on a visit to Tokyo.

“Our answer is simple: if that is so (that the allegations are unfounded), open up these detention centres. Allow us and others to visit them.

“What is interesting is that we are actually getting response from the US government” for the first time in more than three years, Khan said. “We welcome an opportunity to sit down and have a debate with them on the issue.”

Because the US military base in Guantanamo Bay for prisoners from the “war on terror” is located in Cuba, the Bush administration argues its inmates do not enjoy the same legal protections as those held inside the United States.

“We are concerned about allegations of torture that frequently emerge and are not independently and fully investigated,” Khan said.

She said the human rights watchdog had used the gulag reference in its annual report to “send a strong message”, not to set off debate in itself about the analogy to the infamous Soviet prison camps.

“Our concern is about the detention of individuals outside of the limit of laws,” she said. The United States should take a number of steps at the Guantanamo Bay and other detention centres, she said:

“End all secret and incommunicado detentions; grant the International Red Cross fully access; ensure recourse to the law for all detainees; bring to justice anyone responsible for authorizing or committing human rights violations.”

The Amnesty report came after allegations that interrogators at Guantanamo had desecrated the Muslim holy book the Koran to pressure prisoners.

Newsweek magazine retracted the report after it set off deadly riots in Afghanistan and stirred outrage in the Muslim world, saying its source had backed away from the allegation. Bush told a news conference Tuesday what he thought of Amnesty’s findings: “It is an absurd report. It just is.” “When there’s accusations made about certain actions by our people, they’re fully investigated in a transparent way,” Bush said.

“It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of and the allegations by people that were held in detention, people who hate America, people that have been trained in some instances to dissemble, that means not tell the truth,” he said. Khan said the report was compiled mostly by American staff. US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday also called the gulag reference “reprehensible”.

“No force in the world has done more to liberate people that they have never met than the men and women of the United States military,” Rumsfeld said.
