Fuck Bush (Not original but still viable)
Oop!
Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!
And is a MISJUDGEMENT anything remotely related to a fucking mistake?
Nah, not with this crowd.
I really need a faster connection...
To bad you libs don't have a plan. You have no strategy. All you can do is whine.
Internet bloggers responsible for major international warfare! Thousands dead! Who knew?
You miserable little wanker.
Bush and his cronies do not care. And that is what is truly tragic.
"I don't know how any of them sleep at night." --A.
Maybe because they don't think about anything besides their own asses.
Free Saddam and put him back in power. He's unjustly prisoned and his sovereignty has been impugned. Then try the war criminals Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Death Squads: A Feature, not a Bug.
Plan: Get out of Iraq. Now.

bottom" review of all of DynCorp's contracts with the State Department.
DynCorp officials said they fired the employees involved in the fuel theft and reimbursed the government, and put the controls in place. They said the company kept close watch on ammunition.
"We'd be very surprised if any of the U.S. officers we hired to train Iraqis are involved in anything like this," said Greg Lagana, a company spokesman. "If there is an investigation, we'll cooperate vigorously."
Richard Cashon, a DynCorp vice president, said the company billed the government about $50 million a month for its police trainers, including their $134,000-a-year salaries as well as security and other operating costs.
DynCorp officials, who noted that they never received field reports from their trainers, said they were not to blame for the inadequacies in police training.
"We are not judged on the success or failure of the program as they established it," Mr. Cashon said. "We are judged on our ability to provide qualified personnel."
"Looking back, I really don't know what their plan was," Mr. Kerik said. With no experience in Iraq, and little time to get ready, he said he prepared for his job in part by watching A&E Network documentaries on Saddam Hussein.

Pretty much sums up the entire quagmire, right there.
Well, I still think the whole thing was wrong from the beginning -- Fredo has killed more Americans than Bid Laden & more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein -- pretty impressive!
I tried, but I couldn't read the entire article. I was getting too angry.

Hey if reasonable, responsible people had been in charge, they wouldn't have started this war in the first place.

the article should be the findings of fact for the first article of impeachment after the democrats take control.

Ethnic cleansing!!
The state of Iraq now resembles Bosnia at the height of the fighting in the 1990s when each community fled to places where its members were a majority and were able to defend themselves. "Be gone by evening prayers or we will kill you," warned one of four men who called at the house of Leila Mohammed, a pregnant mother of three children in the city of Baquba, in Diyala province north-east of Baghdad. He offered chocolate to one of her children to try to find out the names of the men in the family.
Ah hat - now there's a classic troll. I love that wingnut bloggers bear *no responsibility whatsoever* for helping to prop up the Criminal-In-Chief with every slobbery rimming post, but every moonbat blogpost even slightly critical of Bush causes *immeasureable harm* directly to our troops.
Good times.

Sharm El-Sheikh
Sharm is one of those Third World beach resorts specifically designed to be as far removed as possible from the gritty realities of how the other four-fifths of humanity actually lives. It's the Cabo San Lucas of Egypt, an incongruous little bubble of luxury and suntan lotion perched on the southern most tip of the Sinai peninsula, like a cheap piece of costume jewelry pinned to a mummy's desiccated earlobe.

Every fear that I had imagined or heard of for this disastrous crime has come true and then some. It's going to take generations to fix, if it can be fixed, and it's going to take a lot more than ambien for them to deal with the anger that's coming for them.
Yet once again, one must ask: is there anything the criminals who control the US gov't haven't completely clusterfucked? Anything?

What kept his nose from growing

"More attention should have been paid to the police after the fall of Baghdad," said Mr. Miller, one of the officials who objected to the original proposal to deploy thousands of advisers. "That is obvious. Iraq needed law and order established."
Yeah, wow, ya think? Was that before or after looters, thugs and vigilantes turned an orderly city into a zone of pure mayhem?

Nobody could have predicted that Iraq would need a police force after we toppled their government.
Or that rival sects would start fighting each other in the absence of law enforcement.
Totally unpredictable. And don't let the CIA tell you otherwise. It's their fault.
We were talking below about Bush's incompetence domestically, and that it might not be incompetence, but planned. I do believe that is true domestically. Katrina wasn't so much a fuck up as a deliberate attempt to take the federal government out of the disaster relief business. I don't think that's the case with Iraq.
I think they meant for that to work. They are unbelievably incompetent in Iraq.
steve,

New Orleans votes for new mayor
The people of New Orleans are voting in a mayoral poll deemed crucial to the future of the hurricane-hit city.
Incumbent Ray Nagin faces fellow Democrat Mitch Landrieu in a run-off as no-one gained 50% of last month's vote.

The appointment of a former Bush administration official to the School of Foreign Service faculty has drawn objections from a growing group of Georgetown professors who oppose policies promoted by the appointee and question the legitimacy of the hiring process.
The university announced May 1 that Douglas Feith (LAW ’7
, a former undersecretary of defense who argued strongly for the military invasion of Iraq, will join the SFS as a visiting professor and distinguished practitioner in national security policy this fall.
Since then at least 35 professors have signed a letter claiming that many experts consider Feith’s role in justifying and executing the Iraq war “constitute war crimes … which the most sympathetic would have to think a highly dubious grounds for further employment.”

I imagine it's a little frustrating when the administration blames you for all their fuckups, believing that you'll be too honor-bound to leak the evidence proving they're lying through their fangs.

There sure should be. Feith - the Stupidest fucking person alive - is also one of the most despicable.

Buddy's "I'm Gonna Love You Too."
I'm gonna go Google them to see if

From the "Handmaid's Tale" Women didn't have their own names but were "of" their lord and master. So if you were to get married, your wife would be "Ofsteve."

I, hopefully, expect to see more and more stories like this one. Brian Ross was told to get new phones because the administration was listening in and so now the press finds out that all that buddy buddy shit that those nice, but smarmy, politicians were talking was just so much trash and what was really going on was a stealth attack against the First Amendment and the people's "watchdog". Belatedly coming to find out we are on the same side. It's Inside the beltway, "Our Place", Washington vs. the great unwashed, unruly herd. The press knows all the secrets, they helped get these jerks elected. It's about time they started playing hard ball. F'em'.
From DU:
I saw the tabloid The Globe in the checkout line, RE: Bush
It had shrub and pickles on the cover, saying how they don't speak to each other, she's mad bacause he won't go to rehab for drinking, she wants a divorce,etc. I couldn't quite bring myself to buy it, but I got alot of amusement out of the fact that the pres is on a tabloid. Wonder if the Globe has a web site. Har Har Har!
The only way this would have worked is a complete British colonial type occupation, with a few Americans in each of the thousand police stations.
I am not sure that such an occupation would have been advisable either.
The whole concept of the Iraq invasion was fundamentally misguided and fucked at its very core. No fully wholesome set of policies would have made it work.
"One thing it's important to highlight was just how much the Tinkerbell Strategy of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders has been responsible for the disaster in Iraq. Tough questions, early on, might have helped save their pet war. To them, Dear Leader can do no wrong."
-The clueless bastard named George W. Bush has fucked over the Iraqi people, and wanting to show yet another example of his incompetence, (as if Hurricane Katrina and Iraq weren't enough) he wants to fuck with Iran!
"I don't know how any of them sleep at night."
-Dude, they're sleeping just fine; they're sleeping in the United States, not in the quagmire known as Iraq.
think if my son or daughter had died in this piece of shit war to enrich the bush cronies, i'd be looking for someones head.
"I don't know how any of them sleep at night."
They sleep fine because they aren't bothered by their moral compass. They don't even know what a moral compass is.
From "The Hullaballoos!" link above:
"Warning: sound clips may contain explicit lyrics"
Somehow, I doubt it...
Well, the other perspective is that the whole strategy was designed to fail. Cash from chaos, as Malcolm McLaren used to say.
When all else fails, at least we can torture. We are quite good at it.
Are any of you a**holes out of junior high yet?

Now that Dubbya has officially declared me "unsettled", I feel better. I thought I was pissed off or something.
My favorite line:
"Looking back, I really don't know what their plan was," Mr. Kerik said. With no experience in Iraq, and little time to get ready, he said he prepared for his job in part by watching A&E Network documentaries on Saddam Hussein.
Not to be a grammar nazi or anything, but "mendacious incompetence" just doesnt make any sense.. mendacious means false or lying, so bascially you are saying..false incompetence..
Come on, "mendacious" means lying, full of lies, it doesn't mean false. "False incompetence" would be "pseudo incompetence." "Mendacious incompetence" is the incompetence of people who lie all the time, who lie as a matter of daily policy, whose power is based on lies, and whose constant lies lead to an inability to admit, accept, or deal with the truth, which leads to an inability to function adequately in the real world.
