One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted.
...
No noble outcomes
Corruption has long plagued Iraq reconstruction. Hundreds of projects may never be finished, including repairs to the country’s oil pipelines and electricity system. Congress gave more than $30 billion to rebuild Iraq, and at least $8.8 billion of it has disappeared, according to a government reconstruction audit.
Despite this staggering mess, there are no noble outcomes for those who have blown the whistle, according to a review of such cases by The Associated Press.
“If you do it, you will be destroyed,” said William Weaver, professor of political science at the University of Texas-El Paso and senior advisor to the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.
I would think this would be huge, and guilty heads would roll.
But not in this administration.

11 hurt as people jump from burning hot air balloon in B.C.
Emergency crews were trying to find two people who remained unaccounted for Saturday, a day after a hot air balloon crashed in a mobile home park in Surrey, B.C., injuring 11 people.
After the injured were taken to Vancouver-area hospitals, officials said they were still looking for two passengers who had been on the balloon, a woman and her adult daughter.
The cause of Friday evening's accident is not yet known, police said. The balloon departed from a grassy field with 12 passengers and the pilot in clear weather.
The balloon's basket burst into flames shortly after it left the ground at dusk, officials said. Witnesses said it looked like a giant fireball as it later plunged into the Hazelmere RV Park near the U.S. border, destroying three mobile homes and two cars.
People could be seen jumping from the burning basket. Witnesses said the panic started when the balloon was about six metres off the ground.
The injuries have been described as serious and include broken bones and second-degree burns.
They're looking for bodies in the trailer park.
Daniel Schorr made a very good observation this morning on NPR--that Warner's call for bringing home 5000 US troops by Christmas (which many have noted has to happen anyway, given the length many have already been there) is simply a manuever to save the Republican Party.
Not to necessarily save the lives of our troops, but to slightly fray the ties that bind Repub Congress Critters to Dear Leader [my words, not Schorr's].
And that's all it is, a bit of cosmetic "fraying,"
But look at the MCM* reaction! Amazing. Basically no anaysis of what's really going on, just aghast that this era's Mr. Republican will say anything against Little Boot's war.
Is this enough to fool the public, a call to bring hom 5000 troops?

Oh, dear me--I've forgotten where I saw this: Historian who Bush misunderstood about Vietnam and thus misquoted--or historian of WWII--(cripes)--said that one of the major differences between how Roosevelt, then Truman, handled the defeat of Japan was 1) plans for the occupation began in 1942, 2) every single government entity remained intact in Japan, down to the lowest municipality level (except for a few individuals), and 3) not a single rebuilding contract was done by any company outside Japan. The entire post-war rebuilding was done by the Japanese, with Japanese workers getting pay which they could spend to help rebuild the Japanese economny. The leader of the the US effort, Gen. MacArthur, understood all these priniciples underlying the rebuiliding. Plus, of course, the nation did not have inherent fault lines which might lead to civil war.

7 killed, dozens hurt in Baghdad blast
BAGHDAD - A car bomb exploded in northern Baghdad on Saturday, killing seven passers-by and wounding dozens of others in an apparent sectarian attack near the capital's most important Shiite shrine.
The attack in Kazimiyah came even as parts of Baghdad were shut down to vehicular traffic in an effort to protect Shiite pilgrims leaving for an annual religious commemoration in the southern city of Karbala next week.
The curbs on traffic were imposed late Friday and were expected to continue through the weekend to allow the pilgrims safe passage on their trek to celebrate the birthday of the "Hidden Imam," a 9th century religious figure who devout Shiites believe will return to Earth to usher in the rule of peace.

Snakes on a plane!!!!
BROOKHAVEN, Miss. - It was no movie moment when a physician, flying himself across Mississippi in a one-seat plane, discovered a stowaway — a gray rat snake.
Dr. Ed Carruth discovered the snake-on-a-plane when it began “licking” his arm Thursday, he told The Daily Leader of Brookhaven.
“I’ve been flying planes for 50 years and over 14,000 hours, and this is the most unusual in-flight emergency I’ve encountered,” he said. “I guess it wasn’t exactly an emergency, but I did almost hurt myself when I saw it.”

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a radio address by President Bush to the Nation
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.[...]
Here at home, it can be easy to overlook the bravery shown by Iraqi
troops and Iraqi civilians who are in the fight for freedom. But our troops on the ground see it every day. Last week, a team of American soldiers was meeting with an Iraqi citizens group near Baghdad. Suddenly, a suicide bomber came running around a corner and headed straight for our soldiers
and the Iraqi civilians.
One Iraqi man saw what was happening and ran to intercept the bomber. As he pushed the terrorist away, the bomb detonated -- killing both men, but sparing four American soldiers and eight Iraqi civilians. Army Staff Sergeant Sean Kane is one of those who says he owes his life to this brave Iraqi. Sergeant Kane says, "He could have run behind us or away from us,but he made the decision to sacrifice himself to protect everyone."
Sergeant Kane spoke to the Iraqi man's father, who said that even if his son had known the outcome before hand, he "[would not] have acted differently."
The story does not end there. Later that same night, the citizens group contacted the local director of the National Police and told him the location of the al Qaeda cell believed to be responsible for the attack. The National Police immediately conducted a raid that resulted in four arrests.[...]"

2 C buttermilk
1 C oat bran
1 egg
1 T butter
a couple of tablespoons of flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t soda
a t or so of sugar, if you want.
Let the cereal soak in the buttermilk for 10 minutes, sift together the dry stuff, add the egg and butter, and presto! you sneak oat bran into your spouse!

I was in Normandy the night of September 11 2001. We had gone to a little cafe for dinner. I remember that we had the regional specialty, gigantic buckwheat pancales filled with a savory filling.
And my cousin bought a big stone crock of the house cider. It was a wonderful meal...what I remember of it. I went outside and looked at the harbor and the stars shining through a gauze of cloud and wondered, really wondered if I was going to make it home. The next day we were at Colleville and Arromanch. Quite an impressive sight and very moving given the context.

It looks like Shrubs 'war room' is up and running.
I posit that O'Hanlon was not out of line in using "attain." Not usual, but certainly on point.
1. To gain as an objective; achieve: attain a diploma by hard work.
2. To arrive at, as by virtue of persistence or the passage of time. See Synonyms at reach.
v.intr.
To succeed in a directed effort, process, or progression: attained to high office; eventually attained to wisdom.
I totally agree with your second point.
"interpretation is open to many views"
The Surge was enacted to obtain a security level to allow political reconciliation to happen. Political reconciliation did not happen.
What possible interpretations can one draw from that? The military part of the plan failed or the political part of the plan failed. Either way, the plan failed.

You're making that up, right?
Ze wango, ze tango.
Hard to imagine that this list doesn't include Reed Walters of the Jena 'Six' fame.
Hopefully he will make the list next year.
If you don't know what the Jean Six case is, you probably know the story of the six student who went to stand under the 'whites only" tree at the high school in Jena, Louisiana. The next day, there were nooses hanging from the tree. A few days later, the entirety of the black student body stood under the tree at lunchtime in an inpromptu demostration. The school called police, and armed police came to the school with the DA and spoke to the students at an assembly. The black students that is...he told them, "See this pen here in my hand? I can end your lives with the stroke of this pen" and told them to "stop this foolishness."
From one of the few black teacher, Jackie Soohan, we pick up the story:
A series of incidents followed throughout the fall. In October, a black student was beaten for entering a private all-white party. Later that month, a white student pulled a gun on a group of black students at a gas station, claiming self-defense. The black students wrestled the gun away and reported the incident to police. They were charged with assault and robbery of the gun. No charges were ever filed against the white students in either incident. Then, in late November, someone tried to burn down the high school, creating even more tension.
Four days later, a white student was allegedly attacked in a school fight. The victim was taken to hospital and released shortly with a concussion. He attended a school function that evening. Six black students were charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, on charges that leave them facing between twenty and one hundred years in jail. The defendants, ranging in age from fifteen to seventeen, had their bonds set at between $70,000 and $138,000. The attack was written up in the local paper as fact, and DA Reed Walters published a statement in which he said, "When you are convicted, I will seek the maximum penalty allowed by law."
Back to me: One trial has been completed in this case, with the student being convicted by an all white jury of aggravated assault and conspiracy.
Now, in order to convict of aggravated assault in louisiana, you have to show they used a leathal weapon. You know what the leathal weapon in this case was? A sneaker.
My pick for lead racist fucker and worst prosecutor top ten: Reed Walters, District Attorney, Louisiana.

Nope. Up thread somewhere there's a link to an article and a concert video (though it may be a different concert where he says essentially the same thing) at Rawstory.
Raw Story:
"Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun," Nugent said in front of a screaming crowd as he brandishes what appear to be two large assault rifles. He was referring to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and would become the first black man to occupy the Oval Office.
(snip)
"Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch," Nugent said, brandishing his weapons.
He also went after Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), suggesting she, too, might like to "suck on my machine gun." Nugent's tirade against California's other Democratic Senator, Diane Feinstein, is too garbled to transcribe, but one can hear Nugent call her a "whore."
There's video, too, if you're not contemplating eating or digesting food ever again.
You're making that up, right?
There is film. He is performing at a concert and brings out some submachine guns which he then proceeds to suggest that several prominent politicians should suck on.

what's the story on that? are they really thinking of reviving the draft?
"Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch," Nugent said, brandishing his weapons.
Nice, Ted.
Brave words from the mouth of a man who shit in his pants for a week in order to avoid service in Nam.
Ted Nugent arrest yourself!
"....Does Thompson think that Nugent glows? And if he does, will he still think so after watching a concert video in which Nugent urges "piece of sh*t" Barack Obama to "suck on" a machine gun and then suggests that "worthless b*tch" Hillary Clinton should ride on one?
What would Thompson --- or, say, Fox News, which hosts Nugent often -- be saying today if Bruce Springsteen or some other left-leaning musician had made similarly vicious and threatening comments about a Republican presidential candidate?
And how about you, Sean Hannity? Hannity had Nugent on his Fox show in July to discuss a blog post in which a writer said he had "dibs" on Rush Limbaugh if it ever became legal to shoot him, and that others would be "welcome to" Nugent if they wanted him. Hannity said he took such threats seriously, and he asked Nugent if people who make them ought to be arrested. Nugent's answer: Yes.
"You know, I'm an American. I love all Americans. And I would help any American pursue their dreams and their pursuit of happiness," Nugent told Hannity. "But you find that the left, there's a lunatic fringe on the left that literally are trying to force us to comply to their outline of life. And I find it just reprehensible that they would recommend violence, not to mention murder and shooting people and assassinating people. This is bizarre"

Although, if any of the Chicks offered me a ride, I would be hard pressed to decline.
Yeah, remember that time the Dixie Chicks waved guns and suggested Bush suck on them.
The exact quote was 'Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas'

Q As Commander-In-Chief, what was the President's reaction to television's Bill Maher, in his announcement that members of our Armed Forces who deal with missiles are cowards, while the armed terrorists who killed 6,000 unarmed are not cowards, for which Maher was briefly moved off a Washington television station?
MR. FLEISCHER: I have not discussed it with the President, one. I have --
Q Surely, as a --
MR. FLEISCHER: I'm getting there.
Q Surely as Commander, he was enraged at that, wasn't he?
MR. FLEISCHER: I'm getting there, Les.
Q Okay.
MR. FLEISCHER: I'm aware of the press reports about what he said. I have not seen the actual transcript of the show itself. But assuming the press reports are right, it's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. And that's why -- there was an earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party -- they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.
*Not.

For our 1968 repeat we may first have a repeat of Tet - which the Republicans are now claiming as a US victory. I guess when you have been claiming for years that the other side is on the verge of total defeat and they show an ability to take and hold large cities in a coordinated nationwide campaign, some might call it victory.
After Tet, the Democratic Senators, including Ms. Clinton, who have been extolling the success of the Presidents surge, may have a hard time adjusting their messages.

More War on the Horizon
by Paul Craig Roberts
No pullout from Iraq while I'm president, declares George W. Bush.
On to Iran, declares Vice President Cheney.
Israel is a "peace-seeking state" that needs $30 billion of US taxpayers' money for war, declares State Department official Nicholas Burns.
The Democratic Congress, if not fully behind the Iraqi war, at least no longer is in the way of it.
Nor are the Democrats in the way of the Bush regime's build up for initiating war with Iran.
The Bush regime says it is going to designate part of Iran's military – the Revolutionary Guards – a terrorist organization, whose bases and facilities Bush intends to bomb along with Iran's nuclear energy sites. Three US aircraft carrier strike forces are deployed off Iran. B-2 Stealth Bombers are being fitted to carry 30,000 pound "bunker-buster" bombs to use against hardened sites. Politicized US generals assert that Iran is providing arms and aid to the Iraqi resistance to the US occupation. The media is feeding the US population the same propaganda about nonexistent Iranian weapons of mass destruction that they fed us about nonexistent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. A former CIA Middle East field officer, Robert Baer, has written in Time magazine that the Bush regime has decided to attack the Revolutionary Guards within the next 6 months. Remember the "cakewalk war"? Well, this time the neocons think that an attack on the Revolutionary Guards will free Iran from Islamic influence and cause Iranians to back the US against their own government.
Hey fuk-off youngster. I still pissed off I missed the great Brahms-Mendlesson tour of (18 ) 43 just becasue they hadn't invented airplanes yet.
Bad Art
And I'm still annoyed that I missed the world premier of Beethoven's 9th ... I was sick in bed with pleurisy.
Lies, unprovoked aggression, and delusional expectations – the same ingredients that produced the Iraq catastrophe – all over again. The entire Bush regime and both political parties are complicit, along with the media and US allies.
According to Baer, the Bush regime has given no consideration to whether Iran's response to a US attack might be different than to welcome it as liberation. What if Iran really were to arm the Iraqi resistance and/or to sink our aircraft carriers? How can any government, even one as incompetent, delusional and unaccountable as the Bush regime, initiate war without any thought to the consequences?
The Bush regime's planned war against Iran casts light on the large increase in military armaments that the US is supplying to Israel. With Iraq in chaos and civil war, an attack on Iran leaves as opposition to Israel only Syria and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Israel cannot finish off the Palestinians until Hezbollah is destroyed. An Israeli attack on Syria while the US attacks Iran would leave Hezbollah without supplies in the face of a new Israeli attack.
The agenda unfolding before our eyes may be the neoconservative/Israeli/Cheney plan to rid the Middle East of any check to Israeli territorial expansion.
Nicholas Burns said that the $30 billion in military aid was not conditional on any Israeli concessions or progress toward resolving the conflict with the Palestinians. Israel's ghettoizing and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian West Bank proceeds apace.
Meanwhile in America, while more money is poured into more war, condemned bridges collapse killing Americans who trusted their government to provide safe infrastructure. The US dollar continues to fall as the government's war debts build up abroad.
Except for the armaments industry, where is the gain to America in Bush's wars? Before Bush invaded Afghanistan, the Taliban had stamped out drug production. The US invasion has brought it back.
On August 22 Bush told the Veterans of Foreign Wars that US troops are the "greatest force for human liberation the world has ever known." Tell that to the 650,000 dead Iraqis and the 4 million displaced Iraqis, and the tens of thousands of slaughtered Afghans, and the coming civilian deaths in Iran. Tell that to all the bombed civilians from Serbia to Africa who are blown to pieces in order that a US president can make a point. Bush goes far beyond George Orwell's "Newspeak" in his novel, 1984, when Bush equates US hegemony with liberation.
America's hegemonic hubris is a sickness. A country that tolerates a war criminal while he openly plans to attack yet another country is definitely not a light unto the world.
Rock sensation Ted Nugent and country heavyweight Charlie Daniels were both presented with the coveted Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House.
That medal is pretty much meaningless now.
And King Fuckwit has made it so.
And you'll have two heads from your toxic environment.
