“Announce that whatever new approach the U.S. decides on, the U.S. is doing so on a trial basis,” he wrote. “This will give us the ability to readjust and move to another course, if necessary, and therefore not ‘lose.’ ”

Mr Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (Sigir), cites Iraqi figures showing that the "virtual pandemic" of corruption costs the country $4bn (£2.02bn) a year, and some of that money goes straight to the Iraqi government's enemies. A US government report has concluded that oil smuggling abetted by corrupt Iraqi officials is netting insurgents $100m a year, helping to make them financially self-sustaining.

“Recast the U.S. military mission and the U.S. goals (how we talk about them) — go minimalist,” he added. Mr. Rumsfeld’s memo suggests frustration with the pace of turning over responsibility to the Iraqi authorities; in fact, the memo calls for examination of ideas that roughly parallel troop withdrawal proposals presented by some of the White House’s sharpest Democratic critics.

Saudi Arabia's interior ministry has said it has detained 139 terror suspects, including a would-be suicide bomber.
The suspects were not Saudi nationals and included leaders of several cells, a statement released by the interior ministry said on Saturday.
The statement gave no names but said the arrests had been made over the past two months.
Al-Qaeda supporters began a campaign to bring down the Saudi royal family in May 2003. Officials say more than 136 suspects have since been killed by Saudi security forces.

PHILADELPHIA - About three dozen people rallied outside Philadelphia's venerable Union League to protest the organization's decision to honor departing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Officials at the selective private club presented its Gold Medal to Rumsfeld at a black-tie affair on Friday night, but would not discuss the reason behind the award.
Under mounting pressure about the course of the war in Iraq, Rumsfeld resigned Nov. 8, the day after voters gave Democrats control of the U.S. House and Senate. He remains in office pending confirmation of his replacement.
"My family is traditional Republican, and they are sick about the Union League giving Rumsfeld a medal," said protester Elizabeth Doering, whose grandfather and father were longtime club members. "It's such a crass gesture."
When the league gave then-Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor its Gold Medal in 2004, the event received full press coverage. But the league kept the Rumsfeld medal cloaked in secrecy until the Philadelphia Daily News broke the story on Thursday.
Club member James A. Ounsworth told the paper that he was "astonished and ashamed" because "Rumsfeld is a failure. I don't think you should give an award for failure."
When asked about the secrecy surrounding the Rumsfeld medal, league spokeswoman Patricia Tobin said, "It's up to the awardee. We always try to respect the wishes of the awardee."
listen, if steve spurrier was in charge of Iraq reconstruction the troops would already be home and we would all be singing kumbaya by now.

A triple car bomb attack has killed at least 43 people and wounded 91 others in central Baghdad.
The devices exploded in quick succession in a Shi'ite area near the commercial heart of the city.
A witness said two of the explosions occurred in a vegetable market packed with women shopping in the Sadriya neighbourhood.
He said he saw many casualties in the area and thick black smoke rising from the wreckage.

Pope Benedict flew out of Turkey yesterday having convinced many - but by no means all - of his hosts of his desire for warm relations with the Muslim world.
Ending his first trip as Pope to a predominantly Muslim nation, Benedict made a last attempt to assuage fears of a pan-Christian conspiracy against Islam, saying the Vatican sought to "impose nothing on anyone".
His unprecedented gesture on Thursday, when he prayed in the Blue Mosque, elicited widespread praise. His guide, the grand mufti of Istanbul, Mustafa Cagrici, noted that the Pope had stood and faced Mecca as he did so, as a good Muslim would. "These were very nice gestures," he told a television interviewer.

Sterling moved to within two cents of the $2 level last night after a recession-warning signal from America's manufacturing base led to a fresh wave of frantic selling of the dollar on jittery foreign exchanges.
Speculation that the Federal Reserve, the US central bank, might be forced into an early cut in interest rates to revive the flagging economy pushed the pound to almost $1.9850 at one stage yesterday.
With the dollar having already suffered a week of falls, the trigger for the latest bout of selling was the release of the Institute for Supply Management's monthly snapshot of American industry. This showed the overall index dipping below 50 - the cut-off point between an expanding and contracting manufacturing sector - for the first time in three and a half years.

Anybody can say "that music sucks" or "that athelete is a bum" or make any number of criticisms about the wide variety of artistic or other human endeavors.
But should their criticism be given any weight or respect?
I submit that until you have written a book yourself, your opinion of another's book is just that, your opinion, and it doesn't merit any respect at all.
Until you've jumped in the pool yourself, you don't have much ground to stand on criticizing a surfer's style.
And until and unless you make a movie, your opinion about someone else's movie is worth about a bucket of warm spit.
So yes, until you record a song, and post it on the internet for everyone to hear, your criticism of nickleback is nothing.
The one thing I am completely confident of is that of all the people criticizing nickleback on the prior thread, including Duncan, NONE of you have EVER recorded a song that is HALF as good.
Of course, if you want to shut me up, all you have to do is POST A LINK TO YOUR BEST EFFORT, so that we can all see how clearly superior to Nickleback YOU are.
Otherwise, all we know for sure is that the intensity your dislike of nickleback is only matched by your inability to make music even half as good as that which you criticize.
In other words, you are just sitting around criticizing people who are better than you for not being even more better.
That's a namestealer. It's not Shoe.

Frak. That'll teach me.
It was about Melanie Morgan and her lying about saying, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on [Pelosi's] big, wide laughing eyes" on the radio. She said it not once but twice on two different days. Later she said DeLay agrees that "it's time to put the bull's-eye on her {Pelosi}"
I busted her, Media Matters Busted her and she ignored us. Keith Olbermann busted her based on my clips and she pretended she didn't say it. Then when someone at the network busted her (not her husband the GM or the President of the station Mr.HotTalk Himself Mickey Luckoff) she gave another non-apology pretending she was just having a tiff with Keith Olbermann. She didn't mention the word "bullseye" which shows me she knows EXACTLY what she is talking about and was coached not to say it again.
Republican'sm if you are rich and evil you are one of them. If you are rich they assume you must be evil or else they will call you a "Limousine Liberal" as if they can't conceive of anyone who is rich not to be a selfish jerk like them with their own politics.

Of course not, at least when it comes to Iraq. The one possible benefit is that the neocon flunkies Rumsfeld installed in the Pentagon might start resigning to spend more time with their families.

i'm actually in favor of some kind of "civil war" in america, or "uncivil war" if you prefer. no one could call keith olberman ballanced, and yet unlike rush and compatriots he's not unballanced. this nation lives on trash media, and it's killing us.
Well, I don't know what you mean by civil war or uncivil war here, but I think being "in favor" of such a thing, charley, is immoral. I'm hoping you don't really mean you are in favor of Americans killing other Americans here.
I hate Rush bitterly and blame him for much of what has happened these last 12 years. But Rush's moment in the sun is over. Now is hardly the time to talk civil war. The Democrats just got Congress back.
Please don't take offense, charley. I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just being totally honest. I never come down on the side of people killing other people wholesale.

On Sunday afternoon, Washington, DC radio host Jerry Klein of WMAL was commenting on the Muslim Imams kicked off a flight. Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines jammed instantly.
Among the callers:
"Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country ... they are here to kill us."
and:
Another said that tattoos, armbands and other identifying markers such as crescent marks on driver's licenses, passports and birth certificates did not go far enough. "What good is identifying them?" he asked. "You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans."
Finally a half hour into his show, Klien revealed the game:
"I can't believe any of you are sick enough to have agreed for one second with anything I said. For me to suggest to tattoo marks on people's bodies, have them wear armbands, put a crescent moon on their driver's license on their passport or birth certificate is disgusting. It's beyond disgusting.
Because basically what you just did was show me how the German people allowed what happened to the Jews to happen ... We need to separate them, we need to tattoo their arms, we need to make them wear the yellow Star of David, we need to put them in concentration camps, we basically just need to kill them all because they are dangerous."

"this nation lives on trash media, and it's killing us."
The US had collectively worked through quite a bit of the old guard nonsense, problems, and bullshit when Clinton left a 400 billion surplus and stacks of information on active terrorists as his legacy. The US was never better poised for real progress and leadership than after Clintons turn at the helm, but the cabal had, has, and will have no interest or intention toward actual progress. Nope, they're bent on fucking everything up just as far as possible, and they are still doing everything possible to make it happen.
It's way past time to demand restoration of our Equal Time and Fairness Doctrine provisions.

Rice says U.S. has made mistakes in Iraq http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20061...e_iraq_mistakes
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she is certain the United States has made mistakes in the Iraq war, but the world will have to wait until she is out of government to learn what she thinks they were.
"As to whether the United States has made mistakes: of course, I'm sure we have," Rice told interviewer Saad Sillawi of the Arabic satellite television station Al-Arabiya. "You can't be involved in something as big as the liberation of a country like Iraq, and all that has happened since, and I'm sure there are things that we could have done differently."
She told Sillawi, however, that the Bush administration is looking ahead, not backward.
"When I'm back at Stanford University," she said, "I can look back and write books about what we might have done differently."
Rice was a political science professor and later provost at Stanford. She was interviewed at a conference in Jordan, and the State Department distributed the transcript in Washington.

Hey, Incog! I found out what to do with that nice roast of yours - Swedish!
THE HOT ONE
5 pounds Beef Brisket, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2-teaspoon ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4-teaspoon pepper
1-teaspoon garlic
1/2-cup dark brown sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup dry red wine
1 bay leaf
Combine spices; rub into all sides of the trimmed meat. Place into a pressure cooker. Add wine, brown sugar, onion, and bay leaf, Cook under pressure for 40 minutes. Cool and skim off the fat. Slice meat and reheat in its own sauce. Serves 6 to 8.
(you can do this in a dutch oven too.)

QuiltLady,
Still working. It is getting harder and harder though. Not sure what I will do: decision time is coming up.
The thing that is bothersome is that I have these things happen and nothing seems to make them right. Whether it is neck that won't heal or the infection that won't go away. Mrs DWD and were laughing/crying about it this morning before she left for her shopping trip with her sisters.
BTW, those of you who wonder what love is here's an example. I was feeling terrible when I went to the hospital at 2:30 AM and stayed for four lonely, scary hours. I thought of waking her but she had her yearly trip planned. So I went alone. And did not complain.
It is what one does.

Steak knife. You can use it to spread butter, cut steak, and kill somebody. Also good for toothpicks, if you're very careful, and for opening boxes from Amazon.com.

Rummy's above the line 'options':
(selected beloow, to those that have been previously advocated by Dems and others - and were then denounced by Bu$hCo, the Neo-cons, and 'serious media and pundits' as terrorist supporters, America haters and cut and runners).
- Publicly announce a set of benchmarks
- refocusing the assignment of some significant portion of the U.S. troops currently in Iraq
- improve our units’ language capabilities and cultural awareness
- Conduct an accelerated draw-down of U.S. bases
- drawing down all other Coalition forces
- Position substantial U.S. forces near the Iranian and Syrian borders
- move U.S. forces to a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) status
- Begin modest withdrawals of U.S. and Coalition forces (start “taking our hand off the bicycle seat”), so Iraqis know they have to pull up their socks, step up and take responsibility for their country
There is no shame in these Bush folks, or anything credible in their behavior.

I don't see that the matter is of much consequence, but the question of whether Rumsfeld fell or was pushed is mooted by his previous allegation that he'd repeatedly submitted his resignation to the Unitard™-- who, in his infinite wisdom, refused to accept it.
I can't think of any other occasions when someone continued in employment with a "standing resignation". But once the separation occurs, it can be spun any way they want-- e.g. the Prez didn't "fire" him, just accepted his resignation.

""When you put someone like Sen. Obama in that pulpit, you loan that individual a religious credential they otherwise wouldn't have," [National Clergy Council chairman Rev. Rob] Schenck told ABC News. "That's what we object to."
Schenck said Warren has no business bringing a man who supports abortion rights to the pulpit, what he called a sacred desk.
"Sen. Obama's policies would nullify that right to life, and right now, that is the paramount moral issue of our day," Schenck said. "Sen. Obama's presence in Rick Warren's pulpit will send a very confusing signal on that."

via Mr Shouty-Crackers
5 pounds Beef Brisket, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2-teaspoon ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4-teaspoon pepper
1-teaspoon garlic
1/2-cup dark brown sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup dry red wine
1 bay leaf
Combine spices; rub into all sides of the trimmed meat. Place into a pressure cooker. Add wine, brown sugar, onion, and bay leaf, Cook under pressure for 40 minutes. Cool and skim off the fat. Slice meat and reheat in its own sauce.

Moyers blew up Chicken Caesar at West Point with a little help from John Jay.
-----
We were warned of this by our founders. They had put themselves in jeopardy by signing the Declaration of Independence; if they had lost, that parchment could have been their death warrant, for they were traitors to the Crown and likely to be hanged. In the fight for freedom they had put themselves on the line—not just their fortunes and sacred honor but their very persons, their lives. After the war, forming a government and understanding both the nature of war and human nature, they determined to make it hard to go to war except to defend freedom; war for reasons save preserving the lives and liberty of your citizens should be made difficult to achieve, they argued. Here is John Jay’s passage in Federalist No. 4:
"It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people."

Rumsfeld, during appearances last week before Congress to testify about Abu Ghraib, was precluded by law from explicitly mentioning highly secret matters in an unclassified session. But he conveyed the message that he was telling the public all that he knew about the story. He said, “Any suggestion that there is not a full, deep awareness of what has happened, and the damage it has done, I think, would be a misunderstanding.” The senior C.I.A. official, asked about Rumsfeld’s testimony and that of Stephen Cambone, his Under-Secretary for Intelligence, said, “Some people think you can bullshit anyone.” ...
Cambone was unpopular among military and civilian intelligence bureaucrats in the Pentagon, essentially because he had little experience in running intelligence programs, though in 1998 he had served as staff director for a committee, headed by Rumsfeld, that warned of an emerging ballistic-missile threat to the United States. He was known instead for his closeness to Rumsfeld. “Remember Henry II—‘Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?’ ” the senior C.I.A. official said to me, with a laugh, last week. “Whatever Rumsfeld whimsically says, Cambone will do ten times that much.” ...

I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.
Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.
For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.
Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?
Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).

What's hard to understand about this sequence?:
1) Torture people, 'cause they ain't really people, and you saw it in a Tom Clancy book and it got you all stirred up.
2) When caught torturing people, deny you ever did it, and hope it goes away.
3) When it doesn't go away, start trying to change the laws so that you can't get in trouble for what you were caught doing.
and frankly, if we are going to have a death penalty, which i disagee with, some of these bastards are certainly deserving.

Picking up on some posts from Josh Marshall, Kevin Drum, Atrios, Digby, et al., re: the new Republican talking point that the failure in Iraq is somehow the fault of an American public not willing to pay the price for a muscular American policy in the Middle East....
It seems that the blame for this disaster can be pinned on anyone who opposed it from the start.
Let's see if that logic sticks when Republicans criticize a policy supported by Democrats or O'Reilly's "secular progressives". Repeat after me: "The only reason it failed was that Republicans didn't have the moral strength to support it from the start. It failed because of its critics."
I didn't know that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Halliburton had constructed 55 U.S. military bases in Iraq, did you?
The implications of this little tidbit of information contained in Rumsfeld's leaked memo is tremendous...especially when you consider the cost to maintain 55 military bases in a war zone.
However, my main questions revolve around the sub-contractors that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld hired to provide services (food, water, laundry, augmented-security, etc) for members of our military stationed at these bases.
55 military bases in Iraq.
Incoming Democrats in Congress had better hold intensive and comprehensive hearings into every aspect of the Iraq debacle...including a complete accounting into the Republican, crony-run corporations to whom Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld outsourced military functions, military support services and huge amounts of U.S. taxpayer money.

Been watching some Woody Allen films (Manhatten Murder Mystery, Radio Days) lately on Canadian tv and I must say that, including his masterpieces, he's gonna go down in film history as one of the great filmmakers despite some questionable predatory behavior (Dali was a facsist). I say I'm the richer, in terms of film and sensibility because of Woody Allen, and the consumption of numerous quantities of wines has enhanced this perception.

so lemme get this straight:
according to all accounts, Rummyknew before the election that if Repubs lost Congress he was gonna be out the door. Bush had already met with him and talked with him about it, and had already met with gates about taking his place.
so what does Rummy do? after three years of telling us how all is well in Iraq, the small force numbers were appropriate, stay the course, and we have a good plan to deal with the insurgency, somehow, in the last couple of days, Rummy decides that everything he's been telling the president and the public is wrong?
this just reeks of blatantly cynical CYA from Rummy. now he can write his book, and go on all the whore news programs, and talk about what a genius he was and how he was pounding at them to change their policy, and they just wouldn't listen to him.
it's the same thing with all the neo-con promoters of this thing not taking responsibility for their war cheerleading, how they find no fault with the proposed action, just that Bush screwed it up so badly.
