"Just wait"
So how much of a free pass will this incredible faux pas (or clear evidence of being delusional) receive from our ever obliging broadcast media?
he's a little bit insane, and people have probably just stopped bothering to brief him on anything important. they probably get tired of being told "ok, you've covered your ass, now".
Fucking Frightening!
They want good news from Iraq, but bad news from Israel
MR. HADLEY: Further in was not -- let's look at what we said. One was, loss of innocent civilian life. And one of the things that people have not reported is how much innocent civilian life is being lost in Israel.
There are only two possibilities:
1. Bush is, literally, certifiably insane and is suffering from the delusion that he has created a functioning Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq.
2. Bush is a pathological liar who will say anything, regardless of how starkly, demonstrably false it is.
It is impossible for me to say which would be worse.
OT: (Blogwhore--SOSIOUXME awreddy!!!)
Operation Iraqi Liberation
what bush meant--in iraq, they now have the freedom to kill people from other religions.
Hadley said this just as news was coming in that Israel had attacked a civilian convoy
But what they [Israel] said is, and I think you've seen some evidence, an effort to minimize the risk to innocent civilian life.
And on Washington Week last night, I heard that the Democratic Party is terribly split over what to do about Iraq.
Some fellow named Lieberman apparently supports the Preznit...so it seems the Democrats are terribly, terribly divided.
To that, Putin replied, "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."
That Putin is a pretty sharp fellow. But I have changed my mind; I would prefer it if the Shrubbery would stick to talking about what is for supper.
There are some very strange goings on going on in the Republican Party. Specifically, Bush and Kat Harris are really close to mental collapse.

Repost from dead thread. Atrios is ripping me off pre-emptively again. Wanker.
Good afternoon. I have slept late today, and as I'm trying to wake up, the first thing I read is that our President actually told the Russian head of state that Iraq was a model of democracy.
Ya know, I expect them to say that sort of thing to the gaggle, or to Brit Hume with a straight face, but you don't go trying that jackassery with people that actually matter. Does it occur to him that he just makes himself (and by extension, us) look like delusional lying asshats when he pulls stunts like that?
I'm glad Putin had the sense to laugh in his face when he said it. I can't imagine how furious the littlest king must have been about that.
The Guardian's reporting makes it clear that Chimpy knew very well he got punked by Pootie.
Bush's face reddened as he tried to laugh off the remark. ``Just wait,'' Bush replied about Iraq.

DWD! guess what book i received yesterday!
And one plausible theory for this is that Chimpy made some appeal to Pootie-Poot as a Christian in terms of Middle East policy
Q Can I ask, what did you take President Putin to mean when he said that they wouldn't participate in any crusades or any holy alliances? What was that a reference to?
MR. HADLEY: You know, I asked myself the same question. (Laughter.)
Q Did you get an answer? (Laughter.)
MR. HADLEY: I'm still taking it under advisement. (Laughter.) I'm going to let myself know what I think a little bit later.
Future generations will wonder contemptuously why there was no revolt.

WGG,
Someone here was trying to argue with me a while back on the fact that the original "acronym" for this war was NOT OIL (Operation Iraqi Liberation).
OIL - source wikipedia
OIL source, Senator Jim Bunning

UncommonSense
George W Bush is simply a dim witted Richie-Rich man-boy. As hard as his handlers try to make him seem a 'steadfast leader', moments like these uncloak the real truth.
It's quite miraculous that his handler's are able to do as well as they do.
His comments literally made me cry. I'm still overwhelmed with grief.

See, according to Jim Lehrer and a bunch of ombudspersons from major Amerkian infotainment papers, it isn't the journalist's job to report on subjective matters such as whether the Unitard™'s face reddened.
All that stuff is opinion, or analysis, or something insufficiently truthy. Who can objectively say that his face turned red? Maybe the lighting changed because a bird flew past the window, or a passing cloud blocked the sun.
Amerikan journalists must stick to reporting the facts.
Bush continues to be the greatest Special Education President we've ever had.

... The law offices of Hamid Rifai in Clifton, NJ, filed a notice of claim against President George W Bush for a $30 million wrongful death action on behalf of Dima Tahboub, the widow of slain journalist Tareq Ayyoub. The lawsuit names President Bush "in his capacity as president of the United States and commander in chief of the armed forces." ...
...on 12 July, Rifai filed notice of wrongful death claim on behalf of Tahboub, 38, and claims that Ayyoub was intentionally killed 8 April 2003 when the United States bombed the Baghdad offices of the Al Jazeera news network. Tahboub resides in Manchester, UK, and is steadfast in thought that the United States intentionally caused the death of her husband when it was revealed in November 2005 that President Bush had told Prime Minister Tony Blair it was a strategic move to bomb Al Jazeera.
The case is unlikely to gain much traction, because in October 2001 President Bush signed executive orders absolving him personally of any liabilities in the name of fighting terrorism, which included future activities or any (current or future) international war tribunal. However that does not worry Rifai, who contends that if President Bush does not respond to the notice of claim that they will file a full lawsuit to which entitles the case to the discovery and investigative processes protected by law.
You're welcome, plantsman!
Can you see the anti-Semitism? Destroy an airport with planes right on the runway, some of them carrying American citizens, and bomb civilian infrastructure while totally ignoring the terror camps in the south that might be argued to be legitimate targets, and these unhinged Arabs call Israel an "enemy."
After incidents like this, how can anyone look to this man for anything. It stupifies. I can't believe this is where we've come to.
i doubt he kicks Barney. he probably kicks one of his aides, choosing the last one to tell him something he didn't want to hear.

the only thing Bush has done that I approve of is the time he turned to Karl Rove in a meeting and told him to go walk Barney.
I just have to say holy fuck. You don't stand in Russia next to Putin and threaten the country. That "just wait" line may be ignored by the weenie press in this country, but it will no doubt have strong diplomatic ramifications.
I won't be surprised if Putin decides to oppose the US at every opportunity from now on. That was an unbelievable personal insult, not to mention how touchy Russians are about being perceived as a super power. Treating them like a colony will not sit well.

US Plans Air Bridge Out of Lebanon
Pentagon and U.S. State Department officials are working on contingency plans to get about 25,000 people out of Lebanon to escape Israel's military campaign, launched after two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Hezbollah guerrillas.
An "air bridge" is the term for planes that would move in swiftly and ferry people out in quick succession.
You know they know the seriousness of the situation...Bush is just holding back because he wants his war with Iran, and the Israel Lebanon War is the key to it.
And notice how pissed off Putin looks. He doesn't have to say the word "cowardly douchebag."

1. Bolton tells U.N. that Syria and Iran are directly responsable Hamas and Hizbollah.
2.Hizbollah flys drone into Israeli ship.
3.U.S. Navy ships move into Lebanese waters to pick up U.S. citizens due to bombardment of Lebanese roads and airports.
4. Gulf of Tonkin II?
Israel is leaflet dropping on civilians warning them to get out. Except Israel has pretty much locked them in--bombed out the airport, shot up the main highway and bridges and blockaded the port.

good question Monica!
Israel has given Syria 72 hours to stop Hezbollah or Syria gets it next:
You know, we're not supposed to advocate the destruction of what the Israeli state has become because that's supposedly the same thing as advocating another holocaust (Zionists trying to hide their crimes behind non-Zionist Jews again), but can anyone doubt now that the Israeli policy of terrorism-inpsiring disproportionate punishment is the most dangerous thing in the world right now, and that it would be worth reconstruction in Tel Aviv to stop it? They are a nation of the most dangerous thing in the world, armed cowards seeking to demonstrate again and again how tough they are with brutality that is the opposite of anything that could make them safer.

Ok, perspective on the Bush/Putin exchange:
I don't think the Russians would have interpreted the "Just wait" as a threat. I think they would have interpreted it as "just wait, Iraq will come out great, we're turning the corner, blah blah blah..."
The real slap in the face was the premeditated and utterly artless insult Bush served up at the first of the exchange, when he suggested to Putin that what Russia has created for itself democracy-wise was inferior to the massive clusterfuck Bush has created for Iraq democracy-wise.
I mean, WTF? Putin's a smart guy, as are you, my fellow Eschatonians...put yourself in his shoes, having been on the receiving end of a pretty egregious, publicly-delivered insult from a guy you know to be a complete idiot. Regardless of the geopolitical repercussions, would you:
a) Resist the temptation to reply in kind or
b) Deliver a righteous bitchslap of truth and show obvious pleasure whilst doing so?
The "just wait" response was what one would expect from an idiot used to braying his ignorance to a compliant audience who would never dare to correct - it reflects how badly it throws Bush to have anyone publicly disagree with him, and how particularly unable he is to parry an opposing opinion delivered with wit. He panicked and his bumbling mind, never adept at finding words, settled on the ambiguous "just wait" as a defensive parry. But not, I think, as a threat.

My initial take was Bush said "just wait" in reference to Russia's democracy. Seeing the video, however, I do think he was defensively trying to justify the Iraq failure.
So maybe not a threat so much, but definitely an insult. Putin will find it easy to work against the US on Iran or anything else. Bush is working real hard to restart the Cold War, isn't he?

In my case, the people I know who voted for Bush either had a lot of money, or else they hated liberals and liberalism more than they actually liked Bush. (So basically they voted for Bush out of spite.)

The Saar-5 ship that was attacked was actually hit with an Iranian/Chinese cruise missile. They have lots of these and hopefully they'll arm them with chemical and biological weapons to take care of the zionists once and for all.
In the mean time I'd like to thank all of the lefists in the west for their unfaltering support in eradicating the zionist germ all these years. Soon we will be able to share in the bounty of their ending.

No doubt exercise helps clear his brain, but if it were any clearer, it'd be a patch of blue sky. He needs to unclear his brain, and let a little reality intrude, and wipe that barbecue grin off his face.

Bush wants there to be a World War III, and he wants to be the leader of the “Christian Army”.
There is no other way to interpret what is going on.
Since the beginning of his Presidential aspirations, Bush has proclaimed that God has chosen him specifically to lead the world, because he will do great things. Bush has also stated that he likes to talk in code words, especially to the evangelicals in his support base.
Yesterday, when asked a very intelligent and detailed question about the ramifications about the multifront war erupting in the Middle East, Bush replied “I thought you were going to ask me about the pig”. Bush mentioned “pig” as many times as he possibly could during the press conference, which was dominated by the violent events of the Middle East. It’s obvious why Bush kept mentioning a pig during this press conference, as attested by the way that the right wing extremists are rejoicing at Bush’s use of the word.
It’s another Bush code word for “Slaughter them Muslims”.
Bush is an “End Timer”.
He’s deluded himself into believing that he’s God’s man, chosen to lead the Christian Army against all Evil.
He wants to be the man who brings on the Rapture. This is why instead of trying to defuse the Middle East powder keg, Bush has always chosen to throw gasoline at it instead.
He’s sick, twisted and brain damaged from all of the cocaine and whiskey.
It’s time for someone to bring up the 25th Amendment.

It's contagious. The MSNBC fembot was going on about Lebanon attacking Israel quite a bit, till her producers obviously reminded her it was Hezbollah in her ear. Sheesh.
If you believe in God, or some version of God, which Bush does, and he becomes elected President, even if it's with the help of Rove, Diebold and the SCOTUS, he would naturally assume they're all doing God's work.
And since he was able to stumble into office (God's work also) in his mind, it's perfectly logical and consistent that he's God's agent on Earth.. and everything he does or says is not only correct, it is, in fact, the Will of God.
Of course this makes Karl Rove an Angel, in this scenario.

The Syrian-backed Hezbollah and the armed wing of the Palestinian group Hamas were working to stop progress on a two-state solution in the Middle East allowing Israel to live side-by-side with an independent Palestinian state, said Bush.
'Terrorist elements are acting to stop the advance of democracy,' he underlined.
More disgusting Dem compliance with GOP whining:
Once again, the Republicans don't mind doing evil, but suddenly become delicate little flowers when it comes to discussing evil. And the Dems do what Dems do. Comply:
Democrats pulled an Internet ad that showed flag-draped coffins Friday after Republicans and at least two Democrats demanded it be taken down on grounds the image was insensitive and not fit for a political commercial.
The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called for a "new direction" and displayed a staccato of images, including war scenes, pollution and breached levees as well as a photograph of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay doctored to look like a police mug shot.

Hey friends. Only have a brief moment of net access, but I saw Atrios' post on teen driving, and thought I'd mention something he may be interested in. Since we have moved to Chapel Hill/ Carrboro (we signed our lease and will finally be in our own place again August 1, I'm so excited I can't stand it) one of the things I love the most is the free bus system, which takes a ton of the pressure of us as parents to either: a) transport the teens everywhere, or b) let them drive more than I'd feel comfortable with. Definitely one solution to the teen driving fatality problem is better public transportation.
They love it b/c they have freedom, and we love it b/c it's way more safe.

No respite in Middle East showdown
Israeli gunships have attacked central Beirut for the first time in Israel's four-day-old assault on Lebanon as the civilian death toll neared 100.
The renewed fighting prompted the Lebanese prime minister, Fouad Siniora, to repeat calls for a ceasefire on Saturday, saying
Israeli attacks had turned Lebanon into a disaster area in need of international aid.
"We call for an immediate ceasefire backed by the United Nations," Siniora told a news conference in Beirut. "I declare today that Lebanon is a disaster zone in need of a comprehensive and speedy Arab plan ... and [it] pleads to its friends in the world to rush to its aid."
There's a flaw in this argument, somewhere...

It's like how everyone thought that Bush would kick ass in the foreign policy part of the debates and flounder in the domestic stuff.

Exactly.
Reagan was a pussy, and it's been downhill ever since.
Who can argue with that logic?
Why I love the Rude Pundit.
OK, I read all the stuff that says the "Ken Lay Lives!" people are dumb tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists.
So, my question is this. Why has no one actually addressed the facts? Where's the evidence that Lay is really dead? A Colorado medical examiner says a guy is dead, and I'm sure he's right. However, there is no guarantee that the dead guy was Lay. Moreover, Colorado is a big RED state and there is no reason NOT to suspect the medical examiner.
My point, and I do have one, is that it seems terribly convenient for Lay to have "died" right about now. And for Colin Powell to have shown up in the same hospital the next day. And for the government to no longer be able to get the piddly $43 million that Lay was to forfeit. And for Lay to no longer have to testify in a plea deal to keep out of the major ass-pumping prisons.
Yeah, I think he's probably dead, but I also think THAT'S entirely too convenient. Funny thing about Bush, lots of people seem to turn up conveniently dead for some reason.

And now, our report on the Middle East Peace Process:
I see Israel has begun killing civilians again. Thirty four reported today.
Bush is yelling at Syria to stop Hezbolloh while refusing to say shit to Israel as they continue to attack Lebanon, after attacking Syria, after shelling the beach.
Got to hand it to these guys. If there is a way to create a general war in the M.E., I believe this is the crew that can do it.
Of course, the US and the rest of the world will suffer, not to mention all the innocents within the region.

Britain sends warships to Middle East
Britain will be sending two ships to the Middle East as part of contingency plans to protect its interests as Israel's land, sea and air offensive against Lebanon continues, officials said Saturday.
A ministry of defence spokeswoman said the aircraft carrier Illustrious and the warship Bulwark would shortly be sent to the Middle East, but she would not comment on news reports that they would be used to evacuate Britons from the area.
"As you would expect we are monitoring the situation closely and are engaging in prudent contingency planning," said the spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government policy.

Well, it's not as if the US of A ever declared war against Iraq, either. So we're not in much of a position to complain. Which is one of the problems with starting preemptive wars and quite a few of us pointed that out when Bush decided he wanted to attack Iraq.

On another topic, this is rather odd, I think:
Roads and bridges built by U.S. taxpayers are starting to be sold off, and so far foreign-owned companies are doing the buying.
On a single day in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8 billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials decided to let a Spanish-American partnership build and run a toll road from Austin to Seguin for 50 years.
Few people know that the tolls from the U.S. side of the tunnel between Detroit and Windsor, Canada, go to a subsidiary of an Australian company — which also owns a bridge in Alabama.

Israel kills 34 civilians in strikes
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/
20060...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel killed at least 34 civilians on Saturday, including 15 children, in air strikes meant to punish Lebanon for letting Hizbollah guerrillas menace the Jewish state's northern border.
Israel's bombing of Lebanese roads, bridges, ports and airports, as well as Hizbollah targets, is its most destructive onslaught since a 1982 invasion to expel Palestinian forces.
For the first time, ports in Christian areas were bombarded and a helicopter missile hit a lighthouse on Beirut's seafront.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora demanded an immediate U.N.-backed ceasefire, denouncing Israel for turning his country into a "disaster zone." He appealed for foreign aid.
An Israeli missile incinerated a van in southern Lebanon, killing 20 people, among them 15 children, in the deadliest single attack of the campaign launched by Israel after Hizbollah captured two of its soldiers and killed eight on Wednesday.
cause they don't like people seeing what they are doing.
As the Faux news crew found out.
Of course, the US managed to off a few journalists who got too close to some bad stuff in Iraq.

The best book I've ever seen on lebanon in the 80's is this one:
Inshallah by Oriana Fallaci
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product...glance&
n=283155
quick review
From Publishers Weekly
Civil war-torn Beirut is the setting for Fallaci's ( A Man ) latest work, a powerful, labyrinthine study of human character in apocalyptic circumstances. The novel takes place in the fall of 1983, when a barracks bombing killed dozens of U.S. Marines. At the headquarters of the Italian peacekeeping contingent, a rich cast of characters confronts the unpredictable brutality of religious conflict. The unit's general, called Condor; Charlie, a self-styled counterespionage agent; Pistoira, a swaggering killer; Sugar, the bookish munitions expert, and other uniformed misfits struggle to survive an impossible mission. Rendering the complex antagonisms of contemporary Beirut, Fallaci shows a talent for incisively capturing classic human foibles, as one beleaguered soldier after another tries to negotiate the cultural borders of a chaotic city. In the novel's climactic scenes, the Italian troops, like the well-meaning armies of other nations, are obliged to withdraw before an inferno of religious fanaticism. In prose dense with details and asides, Fallaci starkly conveys Beirut's nihilistic atmosphere; her depiction of the futility of combat is acerbic, and her narrative fully reflects the ironies that emerge when men behave like beasts.

Wow! Israel does fight the way we do: 7 journalists injured in the first 48 hours of Israel's assault on Lebanon--and not just the Hizballah controlled station--they also attacked reporters covering bombing activity.
The three New TV workers; reporter Bassel Al-Aridi, cameraman Abd Khayyat and assistant cameraman Ziad Sarwan; were injured when their vehicle was hit by shots fired from an Israeli helicopter as they crossed a bridge in the south of the country, where they had gone to cover the fighting. The attack took place while Israel was bombing bridges and other communications infrastructure.
New TV said despite being in a specifically demarcated as press the New TV vehicle sustained more damage than any other, "which suggests to us that it was a targeted attack against our vehicle."

What I've heard is that the further along that project went, the more cost over-runs happened and the shoddier the work became.

Cook your carotenoids
Heat is good for some vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes, which contain substances called carotenoids. Carotenoids, including beta carotene, lycopene and lutein, are plant compounds that help reduce the risk of disease by acting as antioxidants in the body. Heat and processing (for example, making tomatoes into sauce, paste or juice) change carotenoids into a form that's easier for the body to absorb.

Israel has backed itself into a corner.

From your link:
The scale of the operation may also be an attempt by Mr Olmert and his defence minister, Amir Peretz, to establish military credibility in the eyes of the Palestinians and other states in the region: neither man has a long track record of military experience, and neither has been in power for more than a few months.
"I believe the current [Israeli] government will see this through, not because they are strong but because they are weak," said Israel Harel, a settler leader. "Neither the prime minister nor the defence minister has a security background, and the army has made tactical mistakes. Therefore, they all have to prove that they can do what previous governments, who were led by stronger personalities such as Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak, can do ... on the surface this is all about freeing captured soldiers. But underneath it is about the prime minister ensuring that he can carry out the next phase of disengagement."
The blind leading the lame. This is what happens when unqualified people are chosen to run the country. Everyone pays the price.

Iran denies supplying rocket that hit ship
Israel claims that the guided missile that hit one of their naval warships, killing at least one sailor, was Iranian-made.
The missile strike, late on Friday, caused substantial damage to the vessel and left four sailors missing.
Israel recovered the body of one of the four on Saturday. The ship was towed back to port in Haifa, still smouldering from the attack.
Brigadier-General Ido Nehushtan, an Israeli commander, said the body was found at sea and that the military were searching for the other three.

FOX REPORTER IN GAZA COMES UNDER ATTACK -- LIVE
David Lee Miller, a reporter for Fox News Channel, came under fire while on the air live via a videophone from Gaza Thursday. Wearing a flak jacket with the word "PRESS" stenciled on it, Miller was describing a deserted town (a "ghost town," he called it) when he remarked, "Whoa, we're being fired at!" A moment later, he said that he and his cameraman had retreated behind their armored van-- even as additional shots were being fired. Throughout, Miller appeared calm, even as studio anchors seemed panicky, urging him to get out of the area. The videophone continued to operate inside the van as Miller speculated that Israeli forces had been doing the shooting "to scare us," noting that TV cameras often look like weapons to soldiers in the distance. Meanwhile, NBC's Richard Engel, stationed in Baghdad, flew to Amman, Jordan, then drove across the country and into Syria to get to Lebanon in order to report from Beirut on the latest Middle East hostilities.

Kristol is calling for more "strength":
The right response is renewed strength–in supporting the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan, in standing with Israel, and in pursuing regime change in Syria and Iran. For that matter, we might consider countering this act of Iranian aggression with a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Why wait? Does anyone think a nuclear Iran can be contained? That the current regime will negotiate in good faith? It would be easier to act sooner rather than later. Yes, there would be repercussions–and they would be healthy ones, showing a strong America that has rejected further appeasement.

I would venture that they are not thinking. Just tossing off to the idea of Arabs getting killed.
Arab leaders at Arab League meeting criticized Hezbollah's action before criticizing Irsrael's. But, group is split, described as "more moderate Arab leaders" and "extemists"
Saudi Arabia would be, of course, one of the moderates. They only raise extemists, some of whom attacked the US on 9/11.

It's all about loyalty. They made a commitment to that fantasy, dammit.
And it's also the MO for Iraq
Yes and no. Iraqis suffer more due to our use of insufficient military force as opposed to overwhelming use of military force. However, the lack of sufficient forces then translates into soldiers using excessive force.
the Lebanon unlike Israel can always rebuild itself, which explains why the Israelis and whoever else can keep invading the country.
Israel can't, you destroy it once, it remains destroyed, there is no rebuilding.
if that makes sense?
Yep. That's how the Israelis fight.
Any sympathy I might have had for the Israelis was dispelled after they blew up the only power station in Gaza, a malicious and, ultimately, a profoundly stupid act. By the way, the US is going to pay for repairing it...

United States officials said Saturday that U.S. funds would be used to pay for the damage caused by the strike. The power station was insured by a U.S. government agency, according to The Boston Globe.

All our roads are belong to them:
Roads and bridges built by U.S. taxpayers are starting to be sold off, and so far foreign-owned companies are doing the buying.
On a single day in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8 billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials decided to let a Spanish-American partnership build and run a toll road from Austin to Seguin for 50 years.
Few people know that the tolls from the U.S. side of the tunnel between Detroit and Windsor, Canada, go to a subsidiary of an Australian company — which also owns a bridge in Alabama.

Israel's 1967 attack on U.S. ship deliberate, book says
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/...liberty.attack/
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new book quotes U.S. officials around during the 1967 Israeli attack on a U.S. surveillance ship as saying the attack was not an accident -- as Israel has always claimed -- but deliberate.
The attack, in which 34 American sailors died, was carried out to prevent the United States from eavesdropping on Israeli military activities, author James Bamford writes.
The USS Liberty was attacked during the Six Day War on June 8 by air and sea forces off the Sinai coast. Israel said the ship was mistaken for an Egyptian one and U.S. President Lyndon Johnson then accepted the explanation.
Israel later paid modest reparations to the families of the 34 Americans killed, and to the 171 others who were injured.
What the Israelis did not know, according to "Body of Secrets" -- published by Doubleday and scheduled for release Tuesday -- is that the U.S. National Security Agency had a surveillance plane flying above the Liberty.
The book quotes by name a Hebrew-English translator on that U.S. plane as saying the Israeli pilots talked about completing an attack. He said "they mentioned an American flag" -- suggesting the Israelis knew they were attacking a U.S. ship.

I'm really, really glad she's not on the Supreme Court... utterly unqualified. And her mash-notes to Bush were truly appalling.

Pretzelattack: Indeed, Israel is essentially held hostage by extreme right wing nutjobs who are worse than the Likud. Israel's unique parody of democracy was designed to ensure these David Koresh figures would always enjoy disproportionate power; as was seen in the Gaza pullout, all these fuckers own guns and feel no compunction about shooting Israelis. This is vital to the Zionist project of racism and land-grabs, because the majority of Israelis are sensible people who essentially want sensible things that would bring peace but would also doom the perpetual war, expansion, racism and violence of the Zionist dream.

Foreign governments are drawing up plans for a voluntary evacuation of their nationals from Lebanon as Israel kept up air strikes against its neighbour in retaliation for attacks by Hezbollah militants.

We actually discussed the lack of action on America's part. I don't understand why there wasn't a plan in place for just such an occurance. But I guess no one could have imagined that violance might break out between Israel and her neighbors.

It's been a while, but I think that the basis of the democratic peace theorem is that each of the countries perceives the other to be democratic. I'm not sure that Isreal would find Syrian-controlled Lebanon particularly democratic.

Shrewd Israeli Objectives May Be to Curb US Deal-Making Options In Middle East
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
st...es_b_25110.html
The flamboyant, over the top reactions to attacks on Israel's miltiary check points and the abduction of soldiers -- which I agree Israel must respond to -- seems to be part establishing "bona fides" by Olmert -- but far more important, REMOVING from the table important policy options that the U.S. might have pursued.
Israel is constraining American foreign policy in amazing and troubling ways by its actions. And a former senior CIA official and another senior Marine who are well-versed in both Israeli and broad Middle East affairs, agreed that serious strategists in Israel are more concerned about America tilting towards new bargains in the region than they are either about the challenge from Hamas or Hezbollah or showing that Olmert knows how to pull the trigger.
Another well respected and very serious national security public intellectual in the nation wrote this when I shared this thesis that Israeli actions were ultimately aimed at clipping American wings in the region. His response:
the thesis of your paper is right-on.

why go to war, when trade is much less bloody?
Moonbootica, Buffy Geek
Several reasons, really. First, war is all about the testicles. The victor is invariably the one with the biggest, most potent genitalia. Axe anybody.
Second, Lockheed-Martin can't make shit if people aren't out blowing up the old stuff faster than they can make the new stuff. Hence, it is in their best interests to have wars. Lots of them. All over the place.
Three, trade is for wimps. See the first reason. Real men blow shit up and kill women and babies.

from the Hartford courant:
Evaluating Lieberman: A Party Guy?
I liked this:
Lieberman's departures from party orthodoxy go back years. He questioned affirmative action's value - to the dismay of civil rights groups - at a 1995 press conference. When he became a candidate for vice president five years later, however, he assured skeptical black leaders that he was firmly behind such programs.
He talked to administration officials last year about Bush's plans to save Social Security at a time when Democrats were adamantly opposing GOP suggestions that private accounts should be considered.
After Senate leaders made it clear that they were concerned about Lieberman's views, he said flatly, "I'm against privatization."
Richard--we're in a balmy zone. A mere 107 F.
The Weather channel was talking about the California wildfires earlier, and one thing that caught my attention was the energy potential of chapparal. Gasoline contains 8,500 BTU of energy per gallon, while chapparal is around 10,000 BTU per pound, which means it contains approximately 10 times the energy of gasoline in a dry form. Considering the problems in the west with chapparal accumulation and the subsequent fire risk, I would think it practical to consider using it as a renewable, alternative energy source.

Such behavior is not just inappropriate. It is immoral. And it is harmful, for it sends a message of what is acceptable behavior to the larger American family, particularly to our children, which is as influential as the negative messages communicated by the entertainment culture.

Some in Israel viewed all three of these potential policy courses for the U.S. -- a broad deal with the Arab Middle East, a new push on final status negotiations with the Palestinians, and a deal to actually negotiate directly with Iran -- as negative for Israel. ...

Has anyone seen this from yesterday's AP? The Democrats are pulling those ads containing images of the flag-draped coffins because a few neocons complained about it. That, in my mind, makes them just as complicit as the Republicans who insist that the consequences of this war not be shown.
More examples of Democratic spinelessness. The ads drove home an important point: that war will have its consequences and that we, the people who are funding that war, have a right to see those consequences. Who cares if they were too tastless for Republicans?

Sounds simplistic. If you think something is missing from the discussion, add it.
If you were really so concerned about Israel, you would probably know how to spell it. The tragic irony of Jews behaving like beasts toward Palestinians is lost on no one here. Destroying the infrastructure of all Lebanon and laying siege to its population is not the answer.
Israeli tanks enter northern Gaza Strip
Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers have entered northern Gaza.
Palestinian residents said the Israeli forces crossed the border in the area of the town of Beit Hanoun, in the northeastern corner of Gaza, opposite the Israeli town of Sderot, a frequent target of Palestinian rockets.
The Israeli vehicles were positioned in Palestinian farmland outside the town, the residents said.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.

what has led to this is the clear and undeniable fact that Israel will NEVER EVER permit the emergence of a viable Palestinian state, and everybody in the region knows it...Israel has been "quietly" killing and otherwise 'neutralizing' Hamas leaders ever since Hamas won the Palestinian elections this year...
what is distressing is how much like the Nazis Israel's actions and policies with respect to the palestinians have become...
individual Israelis have for generations been resigned to a solution to the problem of Palestine...but the state of Israel, as well as the political representatives of the State have been utterly intractable...
and for good reason, the 13 to 15 MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY Israel receives from the USofA not alone considered. for the last 40 years, saince th3e '67 War, the Israeli State has mneuvered to appropriate the water resources of the region t its own use, even filling swimming pools while palestinian villages undergo systematic drought and starvation...Political Israel will NEVER EVER relinquish control over those resources...

When left leaning people start comparing Isrealis to Nazis, it's scary. Everyone seems to forget what has lead to this.
Sounds simplistic. If you think something is missing from the discussion, add it.

I attended a small lecture at my church some years back, by a man who'd worked in Dallas, Texas as a medical examiner most of his life. Very quite, polite, professional, soft-spoken. He was a Palestinian, and had lived in Palestine when Israel was established.
He told us how his father, a jeweler, and his family (of course) were forcibly removed from their house on 2 hours notice. The orders were given by gunmen (too early historically to call them "Israelis"). No excuse was given, no preparation, no negotiations. Get out. Take what you can carry, and leave.
He told the story without rancor, bitterness, or anger. When we "forget what has lead to this," there are many starting points.

That's some deep thinking you got going on there.
I always hope someone who actually cares about these kinds of issues will show up and pursue a point from a different set of values (e.g., an honest-to-god conservative, a la John Dean or Kevin Phillips), but all we ever see are fakes and cultists who think everything is a sporting event in which the thing to do is trash talk the perceived opponent and score points by cheating.

If i thought for a moment that misbehaviour at a picnic would result in a spanking from Watertiger, i would be foremost among the misbehavors, i promise...
And this, Rmj:
I have a memory, too. My first job for the CIA in the early 1950’s was establishing an informant network in the Palestinian refugee camps in Southern Lebanon --- in a region where my ancestors had established Christian mission schools starting a century before. It was in exactly that same year, 1953, when a secret unit of the Israeli army slaughtered sixty-eight innocent Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, in a village called Qibya, near Tel Aviv, under official orders from Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. The unit was commanded by an ambitious young lieutenant, exactly my age, named Ariel Sharon. That “lesson”, administered before there was a Fatah or a Hamas or a Hizballah, and long before “terrorism” became a household word, was supposed to end Palestinian resistance once and for all, right from the very start. That was only five years after Israel came into existence. Tragically, the intended object lesson has not been learned (by either side) in the 56 years since that day. Who “started it”? I go back to that old definition of madness mentioned above.

Hopefully the Iranians will send some chemical weapon tipped cruise missiles into the zionist entity. It will actually result in fewer casualties because a chemical attack on them will leave their business centers and industrial centers vacant. The zionist plague will wither and die on it's own in less than a year. They can leave for somewhere else, or they can stay and be thrown out of their homes and forces to live in camps or they can kill themselves. It really doesn't matter either way. None the less this is what will probably and hopefully happen. They can strike back at a few places with their weapons but it won't matter in the end, they'll still die or be expelled in toto. And this what everyone wants anyway so the sooner we get to it the better.
Once again I would like to thank the true radicals and leftists who have helped delegitimize the plague over the years. Together we can celebrate the end of the zionists.

right, but it's proving the "knowing" that can be hard.
Wall, losing bricks:
During a Capitol Hill briefing for an audience mostly of congressional aides, Schoomaker paused for more than 10 seconds after he was asked the question — lips pursed and brow furrowed — before venturing:
"I think I would answer that by telling you I don't think we're losing."
It was a small but telling window into the thinking of the Army's top uniformed officer and one of the military's most important commanders: Despite the progress being made by the new Iraqi government and the continuing improvement of local security forces, the outcome in Iraq, in many ways, is growing more uncertain by the day.
"The challenge … is becoming more complex, and it's going to continue to be," Schoomaker mused. "That's why I'll tell you I think we're closer to the beginning than we are to the end of all this."
that thread from yesterday, about the mythology of the backstab, had some interesting history about the republicans in ww2. how they can accuse anyone else of antisemitism...oh right, they're republicans. never mind.
I believe that Israel has the right to exist -- after the Holocaust, who could deny that the Jewish people need their own state? But I am appalled at what the Israeli government has been doing. I get that they believe in a hair-trigger ferocious defense policy, but good God -- how bad is this going to get?
I just had on The Beltway Boys for a second. The image on the screen was an arrow pointing down. It was their "Who's Down this week?" segment.
"Down this week, the democrats..."
At that point I changed channels and began cursing.

The violence against Palestinian Arabs in 'the holy land' began in earnest in 1947.
it had proceeded in growing increments since the end of the Ottoman Empire, in 1917, when european Zionists (Hertzl prominently) began to seek a 'homeland' for the jews.
when the Zionists, assured by internal intelligence, that Truman would sign off on the establishment of "Israel", they began to terrorize ordinary Palestinians, randomly killing, and attacking them, attempting to drive them off the land which would become their 'homeland'...the first jewish/zionist masacres of palestinians was recorded in 1947.
.
An Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman responded to Siniora's remarks, saying that Lebanon triggered the crisis by failing to disarm Hezbollah.
"This whole crisis was initiated by aggression by Lebanon into Israel," said Mark Regev.
If Siniora "had done his job correctly," followed relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions and disarmed Hezbollah, "this crisis would have been averted," Regev added.
.
So Israel now complaining about nations who fail to follow UN resolutions.

In Joel Schalit's fascinating book, "Jerusalem Calling" he talks about his father who fought against the British during the days of the Palestinian Mandate & was a cellmate of Yitzak Rabin. Joel has given up on Israel (althogh he was born there) -- I think he lives in Seattle now -- anyway, he still stays in contact with his family -- he asked his father what he thought of Likud -- his father, one of the founders of the nation, called them (and I quote) "brownshirts"
In Minnesota I heard quite a few people refer to their state--with no trace of irony--as "God's country."

pretzelattack
Actually, knowing a statement if false, or making a statement with reckless disregard for its truth or falsity, is a necessary element of libel. "Malice" is an additional element under New York Times v. Sullivan (IIRC), and applies to public figures like politicians (or even Atrios, at this point). It's a different, additional element that must also be shown to prove libel in such cases, and showing it requires more than proving someone lied, even proving they lied 'knowingly'.
You have to prove they had an active intent to do harm.

I think it's very possible that if he was hired (or is just a troopy) for the US Army military intelligence, he could be an agent provocateur, and a silly little boy all at once. There is a reason beside fitness, that armies prefer the young. Many have not yet examined any complex issues, and so they won't object to being ordered to perform atrocities, or even just something stupid and immoral.
The thing is to be able to quote the troll as an example of the unhinged, evil liberals.
They're already starting to do that. Later they will realize they don't really even need to bother to insert offensive material into the comments. They'll simply make it up and claim it was said. Who's really going to look, and even if someone does and fails to find their quote, they'll simply claim it was removed by the dishonest liberal blogger. QED

Feingold addresses voter unrest over Iraq
Feingold said voters are looking at politicians' positions on the war as a fundamental statement.
"It really suggests whether people have the judgment to make the right calls not only to fight terrorism but not make the kind of mistakes the Bush administration has made," Feingold said.
Feingold said Democrats traditionally focus more on domestic issues. Unrest over the war has changed that, he said.
"What will be different about this is that foreign policy and the whole international set of issues will be very important," Feingold said.
He added: "I don't think the election is going to be just a referendum on the war, but I think people are going to be looking for clear leadership in terms of getting us out of that situation
He's just a silly little boy.
Meh. I think it's trying an inverse jujitsu move, whereby it hopes to stoke outraged response to what it writes -- hopes to be called anti-semitic -- then will dis-torque to point out that what it is writing as its wish for "zionist plague" is what has been done to Palestinians.
But it hasn't the skill to pull it off.

Wish I'd known some who were well off!
Doug well he was never really a punk or part of a 'group' as such
his music tasted leaned towards Deep Purple, Led Zeppling and Yes.
but he apperciated the fact they acted on their feelings or beliefs.
Buzz Bomb--of course threadbot has a hangover. It's been in Cancun for like forever.
Hecate--BTW, the granddaughter grows more gorgeous daily. She is a fitting partner to Wells.
there were lots of poor hippies. granted, a lot of them had middle class (or richer) parents.

my dad came from working class stock, and so many of the hippies he encountered came from the middle classes.
well thats what he has told me.
My family is so working class we couldn't afford to be hippies.

Moon, darling, you should convey to your Pop, that in my case and that of my family, we were neither working class nor middle, but decayed. It provides an interesting perspective...
And what are all you people still doing here hours after I've had my nap and watched for a thunderstorm and made Arthur's dinner?
Goodness....

Well, that's the point. The 60s revolution was a cultural revolution, defined by those who chose poverty.

That sounds a little too negative, but still...

not in court, i think.

P: "So, when you made this attack ad characterizing your opponent as a child-molesting Communist terrorist with crypto-muslim leanings, knowing full-well that none of those charges were true, were you thinking that perhaps you were aiding your opponent?"
D: "Yes. Yes, exactly. I was thinking that if I make this ad, then people won't judge him as harshly."
P: "So, you're telling the court that you often spend millions of campaign dollars on ads to soften the public perception of your opponents?"
D: "Obviously."
I can see it all now....
When I think about it, I never considered the income of a hippie. Most of the folks I knew supported themselves, enough money for food, rent, a little pot, and sometimes an album or two.
I established "credit" when I borrowed $500 from the bank to buy a stereo system (used--though a very nice one).

Once, early on, I inadvertently shut Arthur up in the garage. He didn't seem very upset, albeit puzzled, but it was a revelation to me how easily even something terribly important can slip one's mind without intention.
Either that, or threadbot has a wicked hangover.

I'm now thoroughly depressed after reading Wolcott's latest two posts, followed by Steve Clemons and what he is hearing from the higher levels of foreign affairs officers.
Time for a strong drink.

Funny, the "hippies" i know and knew all pretty much worked from the time they got out of high school, too.
At sprawling American base, echoes of a former British empire....
HABANIYAH, Iraq (AP) Lying at the edge of this vast military base, the quiet cemetery of 300 tombstones is a crumbling vestige of the British Empire. Once a Royal Air Force hub, the base now serves U.S. forces...
``Habaniyah was the focus of the most intense Iraqi resentment toward the Brits,'' said Professor Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Arab studies at Columbia University and a critic of the U.S.-led invasion. ``If you thought (Iraqis) weren't going to resist when they spent a good part of the 20th century trying to get the British out of there you're out of your mind.''
The insurgency in the western province of Anbar feeds off Sunni Arab fear of being dominated by the Shiite majority in the post- Saddam Hussein era. But historians and veterans of Habaniyah's British times detect far deeper roots.
Neil Turnbull, who served in Habaniyah as a corporal and left on the second-to-last plane out of the base, remembers nearby Fallujah as particularly hostile. Fallujah was ``very anti-British the whole time. They would throw stones at buses and wagons that would pass,'' said Turnbull, now 69.
Arriving in Iraq after World War I the British quickly ran into resistance. In 1920, in Fallujah, an Iraqi assassinated a senior British commander, Gerald Leachman, sparking a violent uprising against British rule. RAF warplanes crushed the uprising, but Fallujah remained the capital of anti-British resistance.
Today, the grandson of Leachman's assassin is secretary-general of the Sunni Muslim Scholars' Association, the influential group linked to the insurgency.

Why is it when George Bush goes bicycle riding it's called 'mountain biking" or when he mindlessly pulls weeds all day it's called "clearin' brush"?

I was wondering where the mountains were in Russian St Pete's. As I recall, didn't Peter the Great have to drain a swamp to build his egocity?

IIRC the city's pretty flat but I'm sure there must be wooded hills around somewhere? St. Petersburg has been called the 'Venice of the North' because of its canals.
I wonder if Bush will have time to pull weeds at the Czar's Summer Palace?
