"All analysts agreed there were WMD's in Iraq." - Bush 11/11/05
Scott Ritter was the UN's top weapons inspector in Iraq until 1998, when he resigned claiming President Clinton was too easy on Saddam. Now he says the dictator doesn't seem to have weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that trying to oust Saddam is "extremely dangerous." TIME's Massimo Calabresi asked the voluble former marine about his recent private trip to Baghdad, Jane Fonda, and accusations he's a spy for Israel, Iraq or Russia.

What the right-wing tried to do to Scott Ritter is one of the fucking scariest things I've ever seen.
1. He was Saddam's Agent;
then
2. He was a child molester.
All in the name to try to discredit him...and he turned out to be 100 percent right.

I think we have to recognize a very precise point which says that even amongst well mannered and well intended white americans, there is a silent majority that wouldn't mind at all if all the arab and muslim men in the world just fell over and died.
Add african american males to that list too. But keep Tyra Banks cause she's f*ckable. The same applies to asian males and even those crazy australians 'Right-O'.
I remember a study about this back in 88' when I was Ohio State U. The school newspaper ran an expose about a survey taken anonymously where white people were asked if an alien race came down to earth and offered us the cure for all plagues and illnesses in exchange for our blacks, would we make a deal and let the aliens take them?
Suprisingly the numbers were overwhelming in favor of 'yes, yes they would' which disturbed me greatly cause Ohio is such a suburban state.
But the point is clear. When it comes to the pain felt by others Americans, not just the rightwing side, are less inclined to deal with the hassle of showing remorse or attention to the pain of others not in our immediate pressence 24/7.
This is one of the things about the internet and the new connectivity of the world that thrills me the most. With more connections and more exposure to the outside world via news and such we will no longer be able to look at the suffering of people in some far away land and not feal as if it affects us here in our own backyard. Bring the problems closer to home and people *will* deal with them appropriately.
Except in Mississippi where they dont' really care.
Then again if the whole state of Mississippi were to fall into the gulf I'd celebrate.

Contrast Chimpy's remarks with this snip from another Veterans Day speech:
"I'm not speaking provocatively here. Unlike the other wars of this century, of course, there were deep divisions about the wisdom and rightness of the Vietnam war. Both sides spoke with honesty and fervor. And what more can we ask in our democracy? And yet after more than a decade of desperate boat people, after the killing fields of Cambodia, after all that has happened in that unhappy part of the world, who can doubt that the cause for which our men fought was just? It was, after all, however imperfectly pursued, the cause of freedom; and they showed uncommon courage in its service. Perhaps at this late date we can all agree that we've learned one lesson: that young Americans must never again be sent to fight and die unless we are prepared to let them win."
with no strong government or central authority it reverts to chaos.
this chaos spills over into other middle eastern countries and any muslim country that supports the USA becomes a target.

elkal--Monsieur's theory is that we work Fridays so that our employers get work out of us on Thursdays. He claims Fridays, while occassionally interspersed with work, are for planning one's weekend, reading movie reviews, deciding where to go for dinner, catching up on new porn, and maligning coworkers both verbally and in email.

I would have to say that there is a tremendous amount of empirical evidence to support Monsieur's theory then... at least at all the workplaces I've ever seen!

OT,
Here's Rush Limbaugh reverting to classic wingnut form, putting his fingers in his ears and saying, "la-la-la-la-la I can't hear you."
CALLER: I recently have become aware of the fact that the Israelis don't torture when they're interrogating. In fact, the Israeli Supreme Court has outlawed the use of torture in interrogation and I wondered -- you know, because Israel is under so much; you know, they go through a lot more than we go through on a daily basis in their own country -- why do we feel that we have to torture for interrogation when they don't?
RUSH: Well, see, I don't think that we do.
CALLER: You don't think we do? We do or we don't?
RUSH: I don't think torture is a common, ordinary, everyday part of our interrogation strategy.
CALLER: The Israelis never do. Why do we have to?
RUSH: I can't answer that.
CALLER: Why not?
RUSH: I'm not --
CALLER: Why do we have to?
RUSH: I'm not going to grant your premise that we do it.
CALLER: Oh, okay. You're the only one that doesn't know it then.
RUSH: No. I am skeptical of those who make the charge. Just because somebody charges that we're committing torture --
CALLER: Okay, okay, okay, okay. They want to --
RUSH: -- when Ted Kennedy talks about it, and Pat Leahy, I'm not one to join up and sign up and automatically believe that.
CALLER: Okay. They want to allow the CIA to torture in some instances. Dick Cheney is pushing for this. Correct?
RUSH: Cheney you say is pushing for this?
CALLER: Right, right.
RUSH: I don't know that.
CALLER: You don't know that?
RUSH: I don't know that.
CALLER: Everybody else knows it, but you don't know it?
RUSH: Well, the point is it doesn't work. The reason the Israelis don't--
CALLER: Then why is he pushing for it?
RUSH: It doesn't work.
CALLER: Why is Dick Cheney pushing for it?
RUSH: I don't know that he is. Who is telling you that he is?
CALLER: Why is President Bush going to veto this 90-9 resolution that was passed by the US Senate?
RUSH: Because he's the commander-in-chief and they're not. Now you tell me who is saying that Cheney wants to torture in some circumstances? Where are you hearing this?
CALLER: They had John McCain on the other night and they met with them. He said that Dick Cheney is pushing for this legislation.
RUSH: Well, I'm telling you I don't believe everything John McCain says.
CALLER: Okay. Well, I believe everything you say, Rush. You have yourself a nice day. (hangs up)

Iraq has always been an uncomfortable neighbour for Jordan. In the Ba'athist days, Saddam Hussein tried to intimidate the pro-western kingdom next door while providing cheap oil. The late King Hussein made a grave mistake when he supported the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. More recently, Jordan has become a haven for those Iraqis, including Saddam's daughters and other elements of the old regime, fleeing fear and mayhem at home. Jordan's economy is booming but prices have risen steeply. Small numbers of men have been arrested for trying to join the Iraqi insurgency. Jordanian Sunnis dislike the rise of Iraq's Shia.

compassion was not abundantly evident.
It's also about where people have travelled to. How many Americans have fond memories of days spent in Jordan the way they do of their bus tour through London?
Fuck, I don't know. I'm just pissed off at this crap. It's the same as in New Orleans, the same as in certain neighborhoods of Chicago. If it didn't happen to a white person, it didn't happen.
We're the only real people, everybody else is animals. Because if they're not, if they're people like us, then we have to think about why horrible things are happening to them, and what we need to do to change it. And then we need to go and work our asses off to make it happen, and it's all just too much.

Strange. Anyone else catch this yet?
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Israelis staying at the Radisson on Wednesday had been evacuated before the attacks and escorted back home "apparently due to a specific security threat."
Amos N. Guiora, a former senior Israeli counter-terrorism official, said in a phone interview with The Times that sources in Israel had also told him about the pre-attack evacuations.
"It means there was excellent intelligence that this thing was going to happen," said Guiora, a former leader of the Israel Defense Forces who now heads the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "The question that needs to be answered is why weren't the Jordanians working at the hotel similarly removed?"

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman fought back valiantly with a conference call to reporters. But for a time, the call was effectively diverted by anti-GOP interlopers who got on a call intended for invited reporters only.
The access information for the call was posted -- unbeknownst to RNC officials -- on the well-known liberal Web log DailyKos.
So, instead of simply parrying the expected questions from reporters concerning the gubernatorial losses in New Jersey and Virginia, Mehlman also found himself ear-to-ear with one antagonist who asked sarcastically: "Given the results of the election, do you think Satan has taken over the country?"
"Next question," scolded Mehlman.

And NOW the fucker is going after "democrats" and trying to use the Senate report to excuse it.
And now Bush has just called those of us pointing out his lies appeasers and unamerican.
Didn't use those words, but when you read the speech you'll know.
This is really enraging. It's digging out the early 2003 arguments again -- when the overwhelming majority of the country believes he has lied.

The common response would be IOKIYAR, but I prefer to think of it more like the GOP does: whatever a GOPer does isn't whatever it is they decry, by definition. Gambling, adultery, fraud, torture... Republicans are expressly defined out, you see. If you think a Republican was doing those things, you just don't understand that it's not logically possible.

OK. Who really believes that "Zarqawi" is behind this or really exists? How convenient is it that when anything happens its blamed on Zarqawi and his evil minions?

I must need more tinfoil for the hat. I am truly losing it. But all these stories of Jordanians saying "Death to Zarqawi" can't be wrong. I must be nuts... But I can't help but believe we are pawns in some of the blackest propaganda in the last 100 years. Sure somebody bombed hotels in Jordan. But must we have to believe that it comes from the magical Zarqawi and his evil men? I think they believe that we need a bogeyman...an organic disconnected insurgency will stand... The magical and evil villain must be behind this... Let the nightmares begin
