Is this a sign of the times? Matthew Dowd, former "Democrat" and Lion for Bush is DISILLUSIONED! Talk about coming to the party when everyone else is ready to leave, Mr. Dowd has FINALLY realized that Mr. Bush is a raving lunatic. Of course, he's very regretful. In an interview that sounds creepily like it may have been penned by Jeff Gannon:
“When you fall in love like that,” he said, “and then you notice some things that don’t exactly go the way you thought, what do you do? Like in a relationship, you say ‘No no, no, it’ll be different.’ ”
Blehh! After witnessing Abu Ghraib, Katrina and "Heckuva job Rummy", he had the epiphany:
“I had finally come to the conclusion that maybe all these things along do add up,” he said. “That it’s not the same, it’s not the person I thought.”
Very impressive Mr. Dowd! I almost feel, with you on our side, now we can't lose. I believe Your most estimable friend, DICK Cheney might have some advice for you.
What is it about petty, venal, frat boy, AWOL, former cheerleaders, that seems to promote apparently homoerotic feelings in the mentally challenged? Well, At least the rats are scurrying for the exits. I'm hoping for a stampede.

What research shows is that these people acknowledge enjoying sex with other men, especially when they were younger. But when you put the label "gay" or "homosexual" on their behavior then the denials begin. This guy would blow The Mad King, idiot son of George, and hope the Mad king might give him a reach around when appropriate. This stuff is rampant in the republi-con party.

Bush Brings US Into Iran-UK Sailor Conflict
Associated Press | March 31, 2007 08:30 PM
President Bush on Saturday said Iran's capture of 15 British sailors and marines was "inexcusable" and called for Iran to "give back the hostages" immediately and unconditionally.
Bush said Iran plucked the sailors out of Iraqi waters. Iran's president said Saturday they were in Iranian waters and called Britain and its allies "arrogant and selfish" for not apologizing for trespassing.
What would Bush say if the Iranians put the Brits in orange jump suits and hung them upside down with electrodes on their genitalia? Heckuva job, Mahmoud?
No, I guess not. What hypocrisy.
"All the people like us are We, and everyone else is They."--Rudyard Kipling
Posted by Don Bacon at March 31, 2007 10:05 PMThis is serious--now Australia is pissed. Australia!!
Australia has told Iran that taking 15 British sailors and marines hostage could become ``increasingly serious'' if they were not released immediately, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said on Saturday.
They might unleash--uhoh--The Great Australian Male--
There are large men the whole world over
on a large and varied scale,
but none of them resemble
the Great Australian Male.
He's rugged and he's handsome,
he drinks beer instead of wine,
he's always out for pleasure,
of a very simple kind.
He's either off to see the footy
with a dozen cans or more,
or fishing with his buddies,
getting drunk along some shore.
He thinks he's quite a lover,
and he's sexy and discreet,
that he can get you in a quiver
from your head down to your feet.
But when he's got you ready,
lying limpid beneath the sheet,
you hear a snore and turn around
to find him sound asleep.
Bushco lies and jerks people off every day of the year. April fool's day must be a challenge for them.

Don, and therein lies the problem and hypocrisy in the United States. When you kidnap or arrest people without charges or false charges, ship them off to sanitize Government approved torture, refuse them the right to a lawyer or a court of law, and keep them indefinitely in a prison, then you have become the enemy.
Bush has taken us on a long journey into a world of false virtue, and the rest of the world isn't buying it. We once stood for human rights in this Country, but those days are long gone because of a delusional and narcissistic psychopathic pResident.
George Walker Bush took an oath of office two times, and with his hand on the Bible, repeated these words: "Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." We the People have failed to demand his impeachment.

"Hey Tony, enough with the baloney. Your absurd charade of 'anger' over the arrest of British sailors and Marines in the Shatt Al-Arab, just serves to remind us of the enormity of what you and the big dog in whose anus your little snout resides, have perpetrated in Iraq."
"The issue of whether the British personnel were in Iraqi or Iranian waters is as fatuous as the attempt to justify their actions by producing coordinates and maps with arrows on them."
"Here's the skinny Tony: your personnel HAD NO RIGHT TO BE IN IRAQI WATERS EITHER."
"Leaving aside the very real possibility that your guys were sent into this situation - and will be used - as a Gulf-of-Tonkin-style pretext for yet another brutish genocidal blitzkrieg against yet another sovereign Mid-East nation, your posturing only raises yet again the $64 billion question: by what right do you get to call any shots in Iraq? " (And don't give us that transparent baloney about a UN mandate).

BAGHDAD, March 31 — The Iraqi government on Saturday gave its first official reckoning of the truck bombing Tuesday in the northern city of Tal Afar, putting the death toll at 152 people, a number about double that in early reports.
The bombing, which left 347 people in a poor Shiite neighborhood wounded, set off a wave of reprisals by Shiite policemen and others that left another 47 people dead and shattered the image of Tal Afar held up by American politicians last year as a model of a turbulent city turned peaceful.

Question: This is a moral question: Is torture ever justified?
THE PRESIDENT: "Look, I'm going to say it one more time. If I...maybe...maybe I can be more clear. (Notice how he answers a yes or no question with a non-answr diatribe that begins with "maybe I can be more clear.") The instructions went out to our people to adhere to law. That ought to comfort you. We're a nation of law. We adhere to laws. We have laws on the books. You might look at those laws, and that might provide comfort for you. And those were the instructions out of...from me to the Government."

Posted by Judith at April 1, 2007 05:24 AMI watched the movie The Nuremberg Trial last night for the third time. Spencer Tracy's speech at the end of the movie reminded me of how far we have sunk into the depth of depravity.
"Why of course the people don't want war. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

The United States has lost precious ground since the stolen election of 2000, according to both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
But hell, at least the upper 1% of wage earners got their 4 tax cuts adding to the $12 trillion dollar debt.
Welcome to George Bush's Murika, y'all.

We can only hope that they, the British prisoners, are being treated with the same high standards of care and decency as practiced by the American military and CIA with it's foreign detainees held in the United States and around the world.
Bush's surge is working beautifully!
Why, yes it is! They only have to cover-up a few occurrences to keep it working so well.
