In the old days we would have taken al-Maliki out for a statement like that. See Ngo Dinh Diem.
now WTF will our wise and distinguished senate advise the presi...oops...commander-in-chief to do? no time tables fer sure...write, phone, email the Iraqi leaders assessment and ask why...then go have a beer. morons. michael moore is fat and david broder speaks for "the people" and that is all you need to know.
So, U.S.A. people, go and die for that, send others to die for that, spend all your money so that you and your fellow U.S.A. people can die for that and deprive themselves of basic services in their own country. The Iraq government is a very expensive play-thing.
Here's spit in your face!
Leave Iraq completely and unequiovocally today.
I hate it when I agree with Hitchens.
Glad to hear that the Iraqis are ready! Let's start bringing the troops home today!
You can be part of the solution, or remain part of the problem. That's the binary nature of patriotism.

plus, the Iraqis have freshly painted schools. Now carry on.
Well, morning again, rational people.
The power went out, just as I was about to comment two threads ago. I hope that's not a hint of things to come this summer.
Oh yea unless Dennis Kucinich is elected prez WE ARE NEVER LEAVING IRAQ! Get used to it.
In the old days we would have taken al-Maliki out for a statement like that. See Ngo Dinh Diem.
Now, the Bush junta will just lie and pretend that this never happened and the press will enable them. Much easier.
Maliki could take the bull by the horns and ask the US to leave. Understandable he doesn't, being a puppet. But we can hope, maybe the next shoe to drop.
Al jazeera correspondent said yesterday, Iraqi military hamstrung, afraid to show up for work, to go on missions, and sometimes don't even have bullets for their guns.
Using Scooter Libby as a model, a bi-partisan group of Louisiana politicians are trying to have Bush spring Governor Edwin Edwards from prison.
Compassion and shit.
Fine!
Let's go.
We are never leaving Iraq.
So true.

I don't give a shit what all the Dem presidential candidates say.
We are never leaving Iraq.
Bushco made sure of that.
[From downthread]
It's a new mission. And the American People are on the blogs carrying it out. Its goal is to help their public servants progress toward reconciliation--to build a free nation that respects the rights of its people, upholds the rule of law, and is an ally against the extremists in this war.
Oh, and I didn't even get a chance to blogwhore:
The Senate Finance Committee has reached a compromise on the Children's Health Insurance Program funding.
Veto that, you jerk!

Just a glitch in our equipment.
We have a friend of Cheney's, no-bid contractor, to fix it this week.
He also told The Associated Press that al-Maliki has problems with the top U.S. commander Gen. David Petraeus, who works along a "purely American vision."
This is Chimpy's vision as seen through Petraeus's eyes. Please do not belittle it.
Haloscan is being kooky again - my post is gone.
Al-Maliki: "My escape jet is fuelled and my Caymans account continues to fatten. Hang on! Hang on! Keep it going till the last moment, so that I leave a billionaire"
al-Suneid: "Get rid of al-Maliki and give me his job. I want to make bank before I run, too."

I prolly will later in the silly season. He's my first choice right now.
Kucinich for VP!
awhile back a commenter was harassing me for not supporting jonathan tasini against hillary clinton in her senate run. I asked them what they had done to support Tasini, if they'd given money. Their support for tasini was limited to harassing me in the comments section for not supporting him.
Sometimes people need to rethink.
If Kucinich wins, this would be our first couple(pic only)
Now that Clinton and Edwards have revealed that they have sinisteresque auras, that clears the way for more serious candidates, IMHO.
Oy, I'm so glad I'm heading out the door.
I'm not supporting anybody yet.
That makes donating easy.

Powerloin's "Trunk"
The new issue of the Weekly Standard features excerpts of the forthcoming biography Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President by Stephen Hayes. The publication date of the book is July 24; quotation from the book by those who have received prepublication copies is embargoed until then. Over the past three years Steve interviewed Cheney for nearly thirty hours and interviewed more than 600 other sources for the book. I don't think I'm violating any confidences to state that Steve's book furnishes an intimate portrait of a remarkable public servant.
serious candidates lack the requisite political personnae to attract votes.

Kucinich has gained some polish this time around. It could be the love and support of his devoted SO, that can do wonders for a person.
Atrios' blog always has a $$ focus that duns us and prodes us to give: a good thing.
Sometimes people need to rethink.
I rethink that, too.
Here is the funny thing about Beckham. He is trying to break in with the new team by throwing a BBQ for them today at his new 13,000 square foot mansion.
Some of his team mates make about $30,000 a year. They waived the league salary cap for him to join the Galaxy.
If I am making $40,000 a year, and I am lining up to a guy in that mansion, and I score more goals than him, it might make me pissed.
Now that Clinton and Edwards have revealed that they have sinisteresque auras, that clears the way for more serious candidates, IMHO.
I don't find what they were talking about to be sinister. It's called politics.
Powerloin's "Deacon"
Someone once said, never resist an opportunity to have sex or to watch Brazil play soccer. The first prong of that advice is terrible and can even be deadly. The second prong holds up well for soccer fans in most cases.
The whole debate thing is a problem because of our lack of attention span. A four hour debate with ten candidates would work ok. 90 minutes with ten candidates really is unwieldy.
I'm giving most of the money that I donate to some folks running for Congress and the Senate, not president. Two reasons: (1) I think the Dems are going to take the WH this time (assuming no Diebold) no matter who they run, but the president is going to need a strong majority in the House. We've got to get to the point where HoJo and Mary Landrieu can't hijack us; and (2) I'm supporting Hil in the primaries (unless Gore throws his hat in) and she's got enough $$$ for now.
If I am making $40,000 a year, and I am lining up to a guy in that mansion, and I score more goals than him, it might make me pissed.
Alternately, I might think that I make a living playing a game, and not a popular one in the US, and if this star power can help my team and the league, then I might start making more money playing a game that could be more popular in the US.
If I am making $40,000 a year, and I am lining up to a guy in that mansion, and I score more goals than him, it might make me pissed.
Not if you score them with his wife.

Okay, I've promised to limit myself to one Hillary bash per week, so this is it till next weekend.
But seriously -- if Hillary's the nominee it seems to me it's a signal that the Democrats don't want to win.
I can't believe people are even thinking of nominating her....
Now that is rational NTodd. At the same time, try living in LA at 40,000 a year. You can't buy a house. You must rent at that salary. Your career is fragile. One knee injury away from being retired.

An Open Letter to CNN from Michael Moore
7/14/07
Dear CNN,
Well, the week is over -- and still no apology, no retraction, no correction of your glaring mistakes.
I bet you thought my dust-up with Wolf Blitzer was just a cool ratings coup, that you really wouldn't have to correct the false statements you made about "Sicko." I bet you thought I was just going to go quietly away.
Think again. I'm about to become your worst nightmare. 'Cause I ain't ever going away. Not until you set the record straight, and apologize to your viewers. "The Most Trusted Name in News?" I think it's safe to say you can retire that slogan.
You have an occasional segment called "Keeping Them Honest." But who keeps you honest? After what the public saw with your report on "Sicko," and how many inaccuracies that report contained, how can anyone believe anything you say on your network? In the old days, before the Internet, you could get away with it. Your victims had no way to set the record straight, to show the viewers how you had misrepresented the truth. But now, we can post the truth -- and back it up with evidence and facts -- on the web, for all to see. And boy, judging from the mail both you and I have been receiving, the evidence I have posted on my site about your "Sicko" piece has led millions now to question your honesty.
I won't waste your time rehashing your errors. You know what they are. What I want to do is help you come clean. Admit you were wrong. What is the shame in that? We all make mistakes. I know it's hard to admit it when you've screwed up, but it's also liberating and cathartic. It not only makes you a better person, it helps prevent you from screwing up again. Imagine how many people will be drawn to a network that says, "We made a mistake. We're human. We're sorry. We will make mistakes in the future -- but we will always correct them so that you know you can trust us." Now, how hard would that really be?
As you know, I hold no personal animosity against you or any of your staff. You and your parent company have been very good to me over the years. You distributed my first film, "Roger & Me" and you published "Dude, Where's My Country?" Larry King has had me on twice in the last two weeks. I couldn't ask for better treatment.
That's why I was so stunned when you let a doctor who knows a lot about brain surgery -- but apparently very little about public policy -- do a "fact check" story, not on the medical issues in "Sicko," but rather on the economic and political information in the film. Is this why there has been a delay in your apology, because you are trying to get a DOCTOR to say he was wrong? Please tell him not to worry, no one is filing a malpractice claim against him. Dr. Gupta does excellent and compassionate stories on CNN about people's health and how we can take better care of ourselves.
....and so on.
So nominating somebody who's guaranteed to lose is a sign of seriousness?
1) No guarantee she'll lose.
2) It's not a backroom selection, but one by the masses. You're sounding like Lieberman after the Dems in his state chose Lamont.
Disagree with the choice, but saying shit like that really makes you sound like a goddamned curmudgeon who can't see past his own hatred of an individual.
NTodd,
point taken.

A local civic unbrella group was excoriated for limiting their debate night to the major parties as well. '
Even though Sen. Tom Carper was a no show, they refused to allow Mike Berg of the Green Party a seat on the stage and so he jumped up there anyway and refused to step down until a county cop approached him.
Many people walked out and shouted out and the chair of the group who moderated ended up resigning.

I don't think she's "guaranteed" to lose. I think it would be a closer election Hillary/R than OtherDem/R, but the Dems win in '08, period. Way too much buyer's remorse out there for any other outcome.
It's the next 4 years that I worry about. Not only will the hate speech ramp up, her "leadership" is not something I look forward to.

Facts creep in, and truth leaks out when there are debates. Messes up the spin something fierce.
Much nicer to just extend the campaign commercial to the 'debate' forum.
Tho, to be fair, is it the two parties colluding, or is it the fact that ALL parties now use agencies that are essentially professional advertisers to 'sell' themselves?
If "all you got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail", then "all you got is an ad agency, everything looks like a 30 second sound bite opportunity", not so?

Tomorrow's NYT magazine: Questions for: Robert Novak
In your new memoir, “The Prince of Darkness,” you complain about the $160,000 you’ve spent on legal fees and claim that your income has taken a dive as a result of your role in this. Can you elaborate? I left CNN, which was my biggest payer, and my lecture fees were down. I was a little bit untouchable in the eyes of some people. I was off “Meet the Press” for two years. I have a much lower role with Fox News than I had at CNN.
Boo hoo!
Every candidate we've seen thus far, Republican and Democratic, is chock full of negatives.

The home warranty has some foundation 'verbage' included in it. My Dad took a look at it when we went over there the other day (smart in the ways of foundations, but by no means an expert), and said it looked pretty good. But the inspection will get a better look at it (seller is paying for anything that comes up as a hazard in the inspection). He just really wants this place off of his plate.
BTW, isn't Novak a newspaper columnist? Shouldn't that be his primary source of income? Otherwise, shouldn't he label himself TV Partisan Hack?

Probably a tired argument, and intellectually lame, but how about this?
We organize and encourage voters of both parties to vote in the primaries, in their party of choice, to vote against the incumbent, whoever it is. Sure, we'll lose a lot of decent leaders, as well as a lot of losers, but there would be change. And that is sorely needed now. How 'bout it?
It's the next 4 years that I worry about. Not only will the hate speech ramp up, her "leadership" is not something I look forward to.

However, she has been conventional, learning only recently you have to get 100% behind your convictions or people don't believe you. Wonder if she would go back to being wishy-washy, ineffective if the preznit. I hope not.

Excellent - then there's probably no real problems or he wouldn't offer to take the risk. You're gonna have so much fun with this!
Zap,
That's great news. I bought my house for the screen porch, which has a ceiling fan. I love it and basically live there from April through October. Congratulations to you and Zappette.
The most devastating effect of Bushco's military stupidities is the removal of funds for ANY other national need.
Well, I reckon if I'm going to ride buses to the Flying Saucer for this meet-up at 3:00, I'd best get on with the day, hm?

GWPDA!!! How are you?
What kind of person is Novak to embrace a name like that?
Isn’t Prince of Darkness Richard Perle’s nickname?
No. It’s my nickname. There was a British parliamentarian who came over and got me and Perle mixed up. At that time, we might have looked a little bit alike, dark-complexioned and sinister-looking.
Novak is 76 years old. What the fuck is he doing not retired now?
Congratulations, Zap. I have fallen in love with St Paul. (Our daughter goes to Mac)
Boo hoo!

The overwhelming priority is to vacuum the remaining wealth of the country into portable funds for the top 2% to flee with before the collapse. All else is extraneous.
If you're the top 2%.

Awiight, off to the laundrette -- brb.
I'm watching Gimme Shelter.
Did they think things would get better after Marty Balin got smacked in the head?
Thinking of using this to replace my fireplace hearth. Eh?
Going to go cook up a storm. See you gorgeous Moonbats later, I hope.

I just did a post:
What's being contested is how easily can the president call up Guard units for domestic emergencies, such as Hurricane Katrina. Authorities agree that Katrina justified the Guard call-ups. But under the two century-old Insurrection Act, only a large scale domestic emergency qualifies. And the 19th century Posse Comitatus act further barred the use of the military as a domestic police force.
Senator Patrick Leahy says that concept was turned upside down when the Bush administration slipped in a much broader use of the military into the defense bill, such as deployments on the Mexican border. "It did overturn Posse Comitatus," Leahy said. "It broke down what I call tension, a very appropriate tension, between the states and the federal government. It basically said the states don't exist."
Vermont Adjutant General Mike Dubie notes that the National Guard Association, representing all Guard units across the country, went on record as opposing the expansion of presidential power to call up the Guard for domestic purposes. "The construct has worked fine the way it is," he said, "and we just think we're more able to react on a state and local level by answering to the governor. So that's the way we'd like it to stay."
Leahy calls it a power grab. "We're putting too much power in the White House," he said. "I know people like Vice President Cheney would like to put all the power in the White House and forget the courts, forget the governors, forget the congress. I think that would be a mistake."
Leahy says all fifty states agree, and his legislation putting control of the Guard back where it was will pass Congress, -- and withstand any presidential veto, if it should come to that.
GWPDA! We had a hot spell, lost all appetite, got to know hypoglycemia up close and personal!
Well, pardon me, but i promised to take my girls to the bookstore two counties over. Not the worst of fates.
Anyway, catch you later. Good day and good luck!

Bush is praying to the hurricane gods not to send another Karina. He knows the Natural Disaster Gods can end his big adventure by focusing congress with a face-saving disaster. Then they can say something like, "we really want empire George, but the folks at home need a little help."
Zap, congrats on the house. Feel free to consult w/me on any and all "old house" issues that may arise. Fixing old houses is our stock in trade...I've been dealing with old houses, in one way or another, for the past 20 years...doing the actual contracting work on them for the past 2.

Really? Good school!
I've only lived in St. Paul for two years (grew up in Minneapolis: St. Paul's bratty younger sister), but I really like it here.

Totally agree. Macabre humor has no place on a political blog.

that is lovely and would be nicely complemented with brick, my sister Fran creates oil paintings that ofter have that look!
Guess I laid an egg on that last one. Can I still use the newbie defense?

Weirdly, my little house in AZ most resembles a mountain lodge. It's brown. BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN. My house is brown. My floors are brown. My furniture is brown. My Dog is brown.
Goes with everything.

Gawd damn, Bush's radio address today was beyond pathetic.
I'm with simels.
I don't necessarily believe that Hillary can't be elected (though I believe it would be an incredibly difficult uphill battle) but rather that she shouldn't be elected. If she is, you can forget about government health care for the following 4 - 8 years.
Guess I laid an egg on that last one. Can I still use the newbie defense?
It's cool.
Speaking for myself, all ideas are welcome. 
There is no brown,

I just have no more room for humor when it comes to us allowing US cpaital interests to arm the commie chinese with our manufacturing base and then to have my worst assumptions realized as we are poisoned by their shitfuck lack of oversight or sense.

What did Jerry Garcia say? "Beating up on musicians? Doesn't seem right."
Heh.
With all that brown, the red should spice things up nicely. Go for it GWPDA.

Ya know, years back when I was just a lil tater in Texas, my buddies in school took me out on a Snipe hunt.
Never caught one even though I was out there all night. Jes me and the bag, waiting, waiting in the dark. Tried that several times over the years. Hard work I am telling you, hard work. I still nevern't saw one, not even a photo.
I am planning to do more Snipe hunts, cuz I am a decider and I won't rest until that ol Snipe is Mission Accomplished.

Then you should absolutely bring in those warm ruddy roses and creams!
A little better. As it cools, I improve and can eat correct portions and combinations.
point TAKEN piano leg, I thought it was a troll speaking and thusly responded, my bad
He sharply criticised the U.S. military, saying it was committing human rights violations, embarassing the Iraqi government with its tactics and cooperating with "gangs of killers" in its campaign against al-Qaida in Iraq.
I suppose the administration isn't bothered by this description of our govt since it comes from dark people.

Gosh, do you mean that politicians are mixed up with and compromised by their association with corporations!? I'm so shocked, I'm going to cry into my vintage copy of "Unsafe at Any Speed".

Can you imagine Bush leading a snipe hunt? Half is party would end up dead, Cheney would shoot somebody, the snipe would get away and Bush would come out with a skunk, claim victory, and get sprayed in the face.
I've supported Kucinich recently, as I think he's needed during the campaign, not really that he's all that I'd want in a potus.
I keep hoping for President Gore, or Howard Dean. I'd be thrilled beyond belief with either.

You're right - nobody thinks to warn folk about the downside, or the heat risks - but they're real and you just have to pay attention. Weird having to so much concern oneself -with- oneself, isn't it?

Peggy Noonan and Jane Hamsher are both in the Wall Street Journal this morning. Jane is part of a blog roundup recommending Digby and C&L and taking about both Whitewater and Scooter in her usual crisp style. Peggy is whining about how even her clique of delusional wingnuts can't stand the Decider anymore.
sheets.
the fact that jane hamsher is in the wall street journal seems a minor miracle.
great writer.
"Bush would come out with a skunk, claim victory, and get sprayed in the face."
But he would claim he found chemical weapons of mass destruction.
The skunk would refuse to be associated with Bush.
its always refreshing when Maliki undermines bush and the necons.
