Many of us lefty bloggers have delayed responding to this latest atrocious lie because we simply can't get our jaws off the ground. Our President just keeps topping himself. But your post said everything that needed to be said. Thanks, and keep the faith.

After reading your blackboard, it seems that Al Qaeda is between Iraq and a hard place in Bush's brain.
nice graphic of the goatman and O'Lielly
HA.
so depressingly funny.
Essentially, in the decades since the HUAC hearings, Bush seems to think that we've progressed from a state where any questioning or criticism is unamerican, to a state where any questioning or criticism that he doesn't like is unamerican. Such progress.
Keep it coming. I just wandered into your new site and it's going into my favorites. I like the humerous custom graphics mixed with the way you weave your message.

bang!
Zorgnak just summed up why I'm doing this!
Thanks zorgnak!

The blackboard was great. Wished you had enough room for "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here".
hey
"...added one of your fine pix to our "I Love Tom DeLay" site."
Alicia, "hot tub tom" is my congressman, unfortunately (he snagged my area in the re-districting). Link your site, woodja?!!
As soon as Blogrolling is back up, we will be linking you up. Rock on!
One interesting fact about Bush/Rove-Speak is that it often overtly states the truth about their own evil intentions and deeds but always in the quise of attributing them to the opposition or their enemies. For example going back to before the war, according to Bush/Rove, Saddam was part of an "evil axis" because he had WMDs which he wouldn't hesitate to use to destroy innocent (American) lives. In reality he had no WMDs, but Bush's rush to war and two years of trillion dollar "shock and awe" military hell haven't left any doubts as to who really had the dangerous WMDs, who really wouldn't hesitate to use them to destroy innocent lives, ahd where the "evil axis" really resides and spins.
A couple of Bush's statements at his demagogic Memorial Day Speech were very clearly of the same nature. "...our troops fight a ruthless enemy determined to destroy our way of life," said the Presnut, ignoring the obvious fact that since we were the ones who invaded Iraq with no justifiable reason and have raped, tortured, pillaged, and murdered its inhabitants during a long and atrocity-laden occupation, it is we who are the ruthless destroyers of a people's way of life. On the other hand, in the true tradition of Bush/Rove-Speak he might have merely been confirming the apparent truth that the unjustified invasion, occupation, murder and destruction of other sovereign nations is in fact "our way of life", something which its unfortunate victims have no right to fight against or try to destroy.
Then in what seemed uncharacteristic fashion, Bush, a man who has never admitted to being criticizable for anything ever, said,
"While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began."
This was a masterful double-barreled expression of Bush/Rove-Speak. On the one hand it admits that he was wrong to begin with, but redirects the blame to those who went along with him because they believed the story that he had sold them. (Hey, Caveat emptor ya'll!.) On the other, it accuses his critics of what he himself has done all along, which has been to constantly "...rewrite the history of how that war began" each time one of his reasons was debunked.
Bush/RoveCo started with WMDs and the phoney 9/11-Al-Queda link, then caught WMDless, the story was "oh well, Saddam was evil anyway". This then morphed into the bringing Democracy and the joys of American capitalism to the oppressed Iraquis, but when they rose up to became insurgents fighting against our occupation the story was suddenly that these were all really the Al-Queda terrorists we were after in the fist place. Now, since of course the next destination of these ruthless terrorists is the USA, if we don't stop them there in Iraq, they will invade the USA and carry out catastrophic terror attacks against us here at home and destroy our way of life.
So in conclusion, the Bush/Rove SpinWh
Last paragraph got cut off, sorry.
K.P.
So in conclusion, the Bush/Rove SpinWheel has once again spun back to an updated version of its originally stated, and debunked, reasons for the war, i.e, Iraq presents an imminent and catastrophic danger to the USA because it is trying to destroy our way of life and as a result staying the course is justified because we are only defending our soldiers, our country and our entire cultural heritage.
What a great article! Bush and Co. rewrote history themselves, first by scrubbing his National Guard 'service' records, next by stealing the 2000 election, and finally by manipulating unquestionably false intelligence in order to invade Iraq. Their 'deeply irresponsible' actions have brought corruption, poverty, death and destruction, as well as destroying our image around the world. If we impeach them, then perhaps our image would improve dramatically.
