I wanted to discuss the latest in Bush's corruptive efforts of total control as he undoes more than 230 years of legacy, once again I must digress!

I wanted to discuss the latest in Bush's corruptive efforts of total control as he endeavors to undo more than 230 years of legacy. I wanted to discuss today's installment of the corruption in this Administration as Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson said his resignation will take effect on April 18. The move comes at a shaky time for the economy and the Bush administration, as the housing industry's crisis has imperiled the nation's credit markets and led to a major economic slowdown. Housing Secretary Alphonso Jackson Resigns Amid Mortgage Crisis, Federal Probe

I wanted to discuss Bush's latest threats to Congress! Addressing reporters, Bush said Congress should pass a free-trade deal with Colombia, a law to modernize the Federal Housing Administration, and an update to a law allowing eavesdropping on suspect terrorists. Bush Calls on Congress to Pass Free Trade, Housing and Terrorist Surveillance Laws

I wanted to discuss Bush's latest power grab as In a speech today Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled a plan that would put the Fed--which has taken an expanded role in providing liquidity in the market during the problems with subprime mortgages he irresponsibly engineered and the collapse of Bear Stearns in charge of “overall issues of financial market stability." Agencies would be merged Agencies would be phased out, in addition a new role for an inter-agency coordinator for the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, which would help manage the goals of the disparate regulators. Plan to Overhaul Financial System in mis-Administrations favor

However while we are falling apart and being dismantled here in America I have to breakdown to reality the latest so called success in Iraq because as usual it is not what it seems and it is not success! One day after fighting between the Iraqi government and Shi'ite militias escalated alarmingly, anti-American militia chieftain Moqtada al-Sadr extended an olive branch. On Sunday Sadr told members of his militia to stop appearing in the streets with weapons and to halt their attacks on government institutions.
It appeared on Monday that militants had heeded Sadr's call in Basra. Reuters reported that armed fighters were no longer in the streets and that the city was calm. In Baghdad the situation was less clear. The government lifted a city-wide curfew in all but a few militia strongholds, signaling that fears of truly disastrous violence had begun to subside. But at least some militants either had not yet received or were choosing to ignore Sadr's directive. Monday morning rockets or mortars once again slammed into the U.S. and Iraqi headquarters in central Baghdad. Sadr's Ambiguous Ceasefire Offer

* While this is lauded as success at the middle east Summit hosted by Syria Iraq refused to endorse the final declaration of the Arab summit on Sunday because it did not condemn terrorism in the country, a divisive end to a gathering marred by disputes and boycotts. Iraq's Shiite-dominated government has long accused Sunni-led Arab governments of not taking a strong enough stance against Sunni Arab fighters who made up the backbone of Iraq's insurgency. The Iraqi objections came when Arab League chief Amr Moussa read out the "Damascus Declaration" for the delegations to approve. The document called for "Iraqi brothers to stop bloodshed immediately and preserve the lives of innocent citizens" and for hastening the "end of the foreign presence" in Iraq. Iraq Refuses to Endorse Summit Statement

They wanted an end to bloodshed at the hands of Iraqi brothers and they called for hastening the "end of the foreign presence" in Iraq. that was a no Go! There is no peace settlement in Basra and there is no chance of peace in Iraq and the middle east. This is merely a lull as those prosecuting the breakdown Bush set in motion regroup! Police in Basra were taking off their police uniforms BUT keeping their US supplied weapons and training as they go over to the Mahdi Army's side in the battle between them and Maliki's militia. Maliki had to extend his dead line and tries to bribe people to stop fighting him.

** The US still can't even keep the "green Zone" safe, so special instructions are made to US personnel in that heavily fortified place in central Baghdad. fighting also did further damage to Iraq's already pathetic infrastructure, as well as to oil facilities and pipelines, damage that might run into the billions of dollars.Why couldn't the Iraqi military handle this fighting after four years of training and billions of dollars spent on that training. Why weren't the Sunni groups Petreaus is paying being brought in to defend Iraq from the extremists? Why weren't any Kurdish units involved? I don't see any success here. I don't see any accomplishments. I don't see any gains. I only see a curtailment of bush's Iraqi breakdown until Al Sadrs group, The Sunni, Iran's group, whoever, regroup, resupply, and rest up so they can continue to fight our presence which is their prime goal and the goal of those at the summit. I don't see the right thing happening and this Iraqi middle east breakdown will progress!

As expected TET I mean Basra looks like the beginning of the end as success is more than questionable and Admiral Fallon departs early, well!

I wanted to discuss the reality of our situation here in the US as I thought about it all night and while it is right to hope for the best you better prepare for the worst because it is coming. That will have to wait for another day as Iraq will and is exploding! I have to digress and discuss that after recent events! I am personally sick of trying to get people to realize common sense does not figure into Bush's decision process. As Basra is failing as expected and once again we are taking the lead in the fighting A am glad our friend Clif over at Lydia's took on the breakdown in Iraq and the obvious likeness between TET and Basra. First that then the latest in the failure!

As Basra is Bush and Petraeus's lie to continue a losing war TET proved both Johnson and Westmoreland's claims victory was at hand in Vietnam and the Viet Cong were defeated was NOT true. (Especially while they were occupying the US embassy in Saigon) Which is why Walter Cronkite made the statement he did after TET. And also why Lyndon Johnson knew TET doomed his re-election campaign. Also why the US army replaced the less then honest Westmoreland with Creighton Abrams in command of US forces in Vietnam. Just like the current fighting in Iraq has shown the surge did NOT do what Bush and McSame claimed it did, Especially after some Baghdad neighborhoods have been controlled by al Sadr's people after this latest fighting began. Try some truth and the real facts out of Iraq instead of fox lies spin and disinformation€ and of course Rush's total ignorance of anything connected with the truth ....

Maliki is fighting for control of the country and he is using Iraqi forces backed by the Hakim controlled Badr corps (which have NO connection to al Sadr) and Iran backed SCRI to do that. Sort of an Iraqi version of dis-enrollment of Iraqi voters who aren't going to vote they way they want, they haven't gotten to caging, using dishonest lists to illegally dis-enroll people who won't vote their ways, they try to drive them away. But they are learning the slimy tactics of the repugnants quite well. There is NO "extremists" fighting in this current Shiite battle, but the Iraqi version of a primary to decide who controls the Iraqi government at the local levels.To LIE about this is just the latest repugnants disinformation campaign about the illegal war they started. try reading the "pentagon papers", you know the pentagons OWN version of what happened in Vietnam from 1954 to 1968,( the one Nixon tried but failed to keep secret) it just might dispel some of the myths you keep spouting. But you prefer GOPer dishonest revisionary history, from the gutless chicken hawks who refused to serve there .... to the truth written by those who actually served at the time they served.

Now as Bush hails success, the truth! The latest proof of failure and escalation! The Iraqi military push into the southern city of Basra is not going as well as American officials had hoped, despite President Bush's high praise for the operation, several U.S. officials said Friday. closely held U.S. military intelligence analysis of the fighting in Basra shows that Iraqi security forces control less than a quarter of the city, according to officials in both the United States and Iraq, and Basra's police units are deeply infiltrated by members of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army.

"This is going to go on for a while," one U.S. military official said. Iraqi forces launched their offensive in Basra this week. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki was personally overseeing operations in the southern city against what government officials called "rogue" or "outlaw" militia elements, most loyal to al-Sadr. During a joint news conference Friday with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Bush called the operation "a defining moment in the history of a free Iraq," saying the government is fighting criminals there. "It was just a matter of time before the government was going to have to deal with it," he said. The president also hailed the operation as a sign of progress, emphasizing that the decision to mount the offensive was Al maliki's. "It was his military planning; it was his causing the troops to go from point A to point B," Bush said. "And it's exactly what a lot of folks here in America were wondering whether or not Iraq would even be able to do it in the first place. And it's happening."

But since the beginning of the government offensive four days ago, violence also has picked up in a wide area of southern Iraq, including in Baghdad's International Zone -- also known as the Green Zone -- which has been targeted by rocket and mortar attacks. Coalition bombers have joined in the fight, hitting targets in Basra and Baghdad. Bush is friggen brain dead! They are not doing it. This is the beginning of the end in Iraq before it spreads throughout the middle east!
The Basra analysis also shows that militia forces control a wide swath of cities in Iraq's southeast, including areas near the airport, where British forces are located, the officials said. More than 100 Iraqis have been killed in the fighting, including at least 14 in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood.The fighting has sparked fears that a seven-month cease-fire by al-Sadr's Mehdi Army, regarded as a key factor in a dramatic drop in attacks in recent months, could collapse or that the U.S. military will have to bail out the Iraqis.On Thursday, the Interior Ministry imposed a curfew through the weekend in Baghdad, Hilla, Kut, Diwaniya, Simawa and Basra.Officials banned pedestrian, motorcycle and vehicular traffic through 5 a.m. Sunday (10 p.m. ET Saturday). Maliki's Basra fight failing

knowing that this is the beginning of the end and US armor is involved, our troops are leading the way again, and UK and US fighters are again attacking from the air, it is obvious we are going to get much deeper. The speeding up of Fallon's removal is the final proof that this middle east breakdown will proceed from here. The commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, Central Asia and East Africa stepped down Friday. It was the last day in command for Admiral William Fallon, and it came several months earlier than expected. Admiral Fallon did say several months ago that war rhetoric from some members of the White House staff was not helpful in his effort to ease tensions in the Middle East. And he has publicly opposed some other key policies, including, initially, the surge of U.S. forces into Iraq.

Gates said it was not his views, but rather his failure to put an end to the perception he had ongoing policy differences with the administration that led to his departure from one of the most important posts in the U.S. military. At Friday's ceremony, Secretary Gates mentioned the thing that got Admiral Fallon into trouble, his candor. Admiral Fallon was replaced on a temporary basis by his deputy, Lieutenant General Martin Dempsey,who will serve until a permanent commander is nominated by President Bush and confirmed by the Senate. Fallon Steps down months early
Bush did not want to hear the truth so they got rid of him. this middle east breakdown will now proceed. All they need is to find an Admiral that will ignore reality and do what Bush says! It is no coincidence that Iraq is failing as Bush will spread this nightmare and Fallon's was released at such a critical juncture!

I hope your Legacy hits you in the ass on your way out! The President who destroyed America, Iraq, the middle east, and the future of the world!

Worst of all he has done it all on purpose and I have been trying to alert people since 9/11 that none of this was an accident or ineptitude as many think. This morning I got an E stating Bush will not attack Iran because it would immediately raise the price of oil to $200 per barrel. I am stunned! I just cannot get it through to people that this guy does not let common sense dictate his actions. He does not care about doing the right thing or average Americans, our America, or the world as we know it. He is the decider and in his own words would rather listen to his dog than anyone period! He has been following what I know as the Russian Doctrine of Destruction from the beginning. It was first used by the Russian's to overthrow existing order through war and replace it with the new version of order. Everything that has been allowed to happen in America and around the world has been done on purpose and towards that end and not an accident or due to ineptitude as most think! He will not let the price of oil or anything else sway him off course. Russian Doctrine of destruction

I was going to list his step by step destruction of our America and our once existing societal order. I was going to list his efforts to Destroy what was once though unstable, an acceptable version of middle east order. What he has done to upset world order in order to replace it with his version needs no explanation. Absolutely 100% everything has been done with the goal of instigating the world to war while looking the hapless victim. It is now beyond control and if we are lucky enough to have elections and they are fair whoever is the next President will have to fight them thanks to the foundation for future war Bush has laid in his goal of new world order.

* With that said I decided to focus on the latest as Iraq heads to the total breakdown Bush guaranteed when he attacked Iraq., Bush's imbecilic reassertions that, that is success which in itself should tell you what his goals are, and Senator Hagel's correct assertion that Bush is in fantasy Land!

Success: Today Mr. Maliki, who has been in the southern Iraqi city to oversee the operation, offered cash to militants if they surrender their weapons and moved back a deadline for doing so from the 72-hour limit he set on Wednesday to April 8. Mr. Maliki also said he would skip this weekend's Arab League summit in Syria to stay and deal with Basra. (Attendance at that meeting was dwindling already, since Jordan today joined Saudi Arabia and Egypt in saying its head of state would stay home, apparently out of irritation at Syria's actions in Lebanon and its ties to Shiite Muslim Iran. Those three states are predominantly Sunni, unlike Iraq and Mr. Maliki's Shiite-led governing coalition, though he, too, may not be happy with alleged Syrian and Iranian interference in Iraq.) Just yesterday, Mr. Maliki promised Iraqis in a radio address that he wouldn't "retreat" in the Basra fight against a militia that at least nominally answers to anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al Sadr. But his forces apparently haven't been making progress, even as Mr. Sadr's forces have retaliated in Baghdad.

Thousands of Mr. Sadr's followers marched through the capital yesterday to call for Mr. Maliki's resignation over the Shiite-Shiite fighting in Basra, and Mr. Sadr himself called for a political solution to end the "shedding of Iraqi blood," as the Associated Press reports. What Mr. Sadr didn't do was order the Mahdi Army to stop fighting in Basra, or stop shelling the Green Zone, where Iraq's government and its U.S. patrons have their headquarters.

More success: The State Department ordered all U.S. Embassy personal to stay in reinforced structures or wear body armor and helmets if they go outside as the shelling continued, the AP reports. Two American government workers were killed there this week. Elsewhere, in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad, a prominent government spokesman was kidnapped from his home and three of his guards were killed, though it wasn't clear whether the Mahdi Army or other parties were involved.

The Iraqi Parliament, where Mr. Sadr's backers have at times been allied with Mr. Maliki's, planned to convene an emergency session to find a way to stop the fighting, according to the BBC. But some of the combat has already been taken out of the government's hands. Agence France Presse reports that U.S.-led coalition forces have entered the fray in Basra and are bombing militia positions there. And American armored vehicles yesterday were already battling Mahdi Army fighters in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood, with Iraqi army and police units letting them take the lead, the Washington Post says.

The renewed fighting -- with the possibility of ending a Mahdi Army truce just as the U.S. faces growing anger elsewhere in Iraq by armed Sunni groups that helped quell violence since last year but feel they haven't been adequately compensated -- comes at an awkward time for the Bush administration. The combat in Basra threatens to impair the important oil industry there, and Mr. Bush has been counting on restoration of Iraq's oil revenue as a key factor in rebuilding the country, as The Wall Street Journal points out. But even more important is how the fighting has jeopardized the image of a relatively pacified Iraq the White House has painted to extol the accomplishments of the surge strategy and justify future policy on Iraq. Ahead of congressional testimony by the top U.S. military and civilian officials in Iraq, Mr. Bush yesterday was touting the "signs of normalcy" he sees in the country.

"The Iraqi forces are growing in capability," the president said, citing in part the operation in Basra. Mr. Maliki's decision "shows the progress the Iraqi security forces have made during the surge. Iraqi forces planned this operation and they deployed substantial extra forces for it. They're leading the operation. Prime Minister Maliki has traveled to Basra to oversee it firsthand," he added. "This offensive builds on the security gains of the surge, and demonstrates to the Iraqi people that their government is committed to protecting them." They are so capable maliki is trying to buy off the insurgents and Americans are beginning to lead the way again and are in Basra with tanks and fighter aircraft. Success? Iraq not working out as planned
* * *
Russia, the U.S. and NATO: Though President Bush has accepted an invitation from Vladimir Putin to visit the Russian president at the Kremlin following next week's NATO-Russia summit in Bucharest, tension in the alliance is rising over the biggest points of dispute between Washington and Moscow. Mr. Putin and his elected successor, Dmitri Medvedev, oppose U.S. plans to partly base a missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, as well as NATO's consideration of membership for former Soviet states Ukraine and Georgia, and they have frequently employed threatening language on the issues. NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer yesterday warned Mr. Putin to avoid what he called another display of "unhelpful rhetoric" toward the West next week, as the Financial Times reports.

Meanwhile, NATO officials tell the International Herald Tribune that members Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are resisting the Bush administration's pressure to expand the alliance toward Russia's border at a time when the West will be making its initial contact with a President Medvedev. And a poll conducted for the IHT and the French television network France 24 finds "sentiment is widespread in NATO's six largest countries that the United States should cooperate with Russia over missile defenses in Eastern Europe," the IHT says.

To us nothing is working as planned but to bush it is total success as he endeavors for new societal, middle east, and world order! I wanted to finish this with Senator Hagel's assertion that Bush must be in Alice's wonderland because he is Republican and dead right. In the interest of shortening this I will supply the link and hope you read it because Hagel's assertions are dead on
** Can we and the world avoid war and stop bush's "Success" in his drive for New Societal, middle east, and World Order?

Iraq Blowing, economy failing, Bush & McCain are going down However there is no joy in Mudville as we're attached at the hip to the life long failure!

Bush's House of Cards is Crumbling! While we are watching the insurgents throughout Iraq destroying any semblance of success. After 3 days Iraq fighting rages

Bush was just now on the air bragging about how great everything was going in Iraq as it is exploding, Oil fields blown up, Green zone under attack for 3rd day in a row, Al Maliki's security plan spokesman just kidnapped. I am so sick of this lying crap. In light of what is going on and what the Pentagon said yesterday I can no longer see even the brainless idiot attacking Ira. It would be down right suicide for America.
Without getting into details yesterday I discussed what is happening as we speak in Iraq thanks to Bush! We have the Sunni issue but you have also conflicting factions of Shiite one pro American one pro Iranian that is the biggest problem as any idiot should have known in the first place. I told you, total middle east collapse then the world compliments of Bush. Here is part of what I wrote yesterday!

It was only a matter of time before the future of Iraq, the middle east, and Americans was stolen by Republicans I began to expect by having the election stolen once again in a growing number of ways for McCain so the right wing war mongering new order agenda could continue. I now believe that After giving $20 billion to the Saudi's much of which will be funneled to Al Qaeda and thousands of weapons we supplied now stolen and supplying both sides with the credit of the recent increase in attacks and violence going to Iran for supplying to the Shiite, more specifically Al Sadr, weapons and training.

I decided to look into the origin of Al Sadr's Mahdi Army and discuss today's most recent events in this Iraqi middle east Sunni against Shiite Breakdown! Bush's inevitable attack on Iran is getting closer! First I have to admit that I for one was very surprised to find that the Shiite Mahdi Army was a creation of Bush's as is the Sunni Iraq Al Qaeda. To supporters, the militia is the military muscle of Iraq's urban Shia Muslims, fighting to protect Najaf and other Shia parts of the country. Its membership rose from just a few thousand after the US-led invasion to some 60,000, according to a December 2006 report by the Iraqi Survey Group. It was created in the summer of 2003, prompted by radical Iraqi cleric Moqtada Sadr, who preached in his sermons the need for a new force.

Young men were recruited at offices near mosques to defend the Shia Muslim faith and their country in defiance of the US-led coalition's arms controls. In August 2007, Moqtada Sadr announced the militia had declared a ceasefire, under which it pledged not to attack rival armed groups or American forces in Iraq. The cleric extended the truce in February 2008 but it came under strain amid claims US and Iraqi forces were detaining militia members. US and Iraqi forces said they were only targeting renegade Mehdi Army factions they accused of flouting the ceasefire.
Taking its name from the Mehdi - a messianic figure in the Shia tradition - the Mehdi Army is fiercely loyal to its religious founder. Since Iraq's elections and the creation of its own, Shia-dominated government, Moqtada Sadr's movement has continued to take on new members. The US accuses Iran, Shia Iraqis' spiritual ally, of training, supplying and financing Mehdi Army fighters. Iraq's Mehdi Army

This is unbelievably complicated!The Maliki government appears to be moving against Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in Basra, Baghdad and perhaps elsewhere. Heavy fighting is reported by the New York Times, which also reports: The operation, which senior Iraqi officials had been signaling for weeks, is considered so important by the Iraqi government that Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who went to Basra on Monday, intended to personally direct the fighting, several Iraqi officials said. Which I'm sure will come as a great comfort to the U.S. military and all Iraqis.
And now, the question: How will the U.S. media portray this? As the Iraqi Army cleaning up a renegade militia in Basra? Probably. But the Iraqi Army in Basra is mostly composed of another renegade militia--the Badr Corps, an organization founded by Iran and answerable to ISCI--the Shi'ite faction led by the Hakim family, Sadr's great rival. There are no heroes here. The Sadr movement is populist, nationalist, anti-Iranian, in favor of a strong central government...but it's also anti-American and oriented toward a stricter Islamic state than the current Maliki government is. The Hakim family's movement is both pro-American and pro-Iranian. It is federalist, rather than nationalist, in favor of a weak central government with a strong Shi'istan in the south (which would be heavily influenced by Iran)

Intelligence sources have told me in the past that we don't know nearly enough about the southern Shi'ite factions--we've been fighting and wooing Sunnis in the north for the past five years--and that U.S. involvement in the Basra fight would be a disastrous idea. Let's hope that General Petraeus makes the right decision, stays out of it in Basra and keeps a low U.S. profile in the Shi'ite neighborhoods--almost exclusively Sadr-controlled--in Baghdad. Today in Iraq

You know as well as I do that Bush and Petraeus are going to do the wrong thing and this will get much worse as Iraq's breakdown goes full swing. At that point Bush will attack Iran getting his original goal of a total middle east breakdown going full swing so he can emplace his new middle east order or so he thinks. that will leave Iraq to its demise. It will breakdown to a total civil war as originally expected before the chief idiot ignored that fact. It will be Sunni against Shiite throughout the entire middles east with Israel and us in the middle until Russia, China, and the rest of the world get involved and this dissolves into Bush's new world order WW3 which will be Bush's Forever War!

* Thanks to Bush our economy is tanking. That alone should sink Bush and McCain but due to his lies it is not. As we speak the insurgents are doing what Democrats couldn't. They are in the process of bringing Bush's House of Cards Down!

*The Chief idiot has been a failure his entire life! What I call an over confident underachiever! The powers behind the right, the Purveyors of this new societal, middle east, and world order, needed someone of Bush's caliber, a lack of sense, integrity, and insight, to blindly cheer this so called new order agenda through! Along blundered the perfect stooge! So they elected Bush the worlds biggest loser to achieve the worlds largest conspiracy, the destruction of the American Empire and any semblance of world order! It is almost complete!

** The economy and the so called insurgents in Iraq are doing what the Democrats couldn't. They are nullifying McCain and bringing down Bush even though he is lying and fails to see the truth and the writing on the wall! I see see just those two events bringing an end to the nightmare of Bush unless he pulls some underhanded tactic to keep his nightmare on track! With everything in Bush's House of Cards failing as expected, and after the Pentagon telling him yesterday the military could do nothing more as well as the "successful" collapse of Iraq as the insurgents battle each other,blow up Iraq's infrastructure, and fight down the Iraq Government and America, I have to wonder what act of desperation will the idiot pull next to stay in power and keep this night mare moving forward?

Bush's created reality in today's Iraqi hell on earth! Hope for peace but prepare for when he spreads this hell to Iran and the entire middle east!

I did a search on my Blog about Iraq and I found hundreds of stories involving the inevitable civil war Bush ignored going back to the very beginning and 2 years before I converted from writing books to trying to connect to people every day. The underlying theme in over 100 stories was Democracy at the point of a gun and that every single time Bush declared things were going well and Iraqi's scored another victory they fell ever deeper into the hell on earth called Iraq that he created.

Numerous times we said from the beginning that Bush attacked Iraq only to attack Iran and help Israel establish a safety zone and new middle east order that would end up in total middle east breakdown involving Sunni against Shiite with Israel and the US right in the middle. This is coming closer to reality every day despite Bush and McCain's bragging of success. I often think because of. Of late with McCain having hung his hat on the success of Iraq that as expected is beginning to blow wide open I have been writing that I am increasingly concerned that Bush knows Republicans are not only losing more and more influence in the Senate and the House but thanks to the increase of his created violence in Iraq he knows Republicans are going to lose the Presidency too.

It was only a matter of time before the future of Iraq, the middle east, and Americans was stolen by Republicans I began to expect by having the election stolen once again in a growing number of ways for McCain so the right wing war mongering new order agenda could continue.

Knowing 100% everything with Bush is a facade, a lie, and inconsistency I thought about this all night in regards to today's events plus the latest!

Knowing everything Bush says and does is a lie and a facade of concern "the exact opposite of what we are told" so he can follow his hidden agenda of a new societal, middle east, and world order, I remembered a classic childhood example of inconsistencies you will enjoy. Robert who I just found out is quitting us is the only other person I know that heard this. I am greatly disappointed about that because now is not the time to drop out. Anyway have a pleasure before I remind you of Bush's inconsistencies!

One fine day in the middle of the night,
2. Two dead boys got up to fight,
3. Back to back they faced each other,
4. Drew their swords and shot each other,
5. One was blind and the other couldn't see

Inconsistencies

Now you know I constantly point out that absolutely 100% of everything, everything Bush does is an inconsistency, a lie, a facade in order to cover up reality and what he is clandestinely trying to achieve. Absolutely nothing is as it seems. First, I told you airport security is a joke and a facade only to give the appearance to the public that they are safe. They are not! Today's proof before we list the facades created so this new order agenda can be followed! Everything is an inconsistency, a lie, a facade!

Of the 28,000 commercial airline flights that take to the skies on an average day in the United States, fewer than 1 percent are protected by on-board, armed federal air marshals, a nationwide CNN investigation has found. That means that a terrorist or other criminal bent on taking over an aircraft would be confronted by a trained air marshal on as few as 280 daily flights, according to more than a dozen federal air marshals and pilots interviewed by CNN. The investigation found those low numbers even as the Transportation Security Administration in recent months has conducted tests in which it has been able to smuggle guns and bomb-making materials past airport security screeners.

The air marshal program began in 1970, after a rash of airline hijackings, and it was expanded significantly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Specially trained to safeguard passengers and crew aboard crowded aircraft, air marshals were seen as a critical component in the overall effort to secure America's commercial aviation system. One pilot who crisscrosses the country and flies internationally told CNN he hasn't seen an air marshal on board one of his flights in six months. A federal law enforcement officer, who is not affiliated with the air marshal service and who travels in and out of Washington every week, said he has gone for months without seeing a marshal on board. Neither individual wanted to be identified because neither is authorized by his employer to speak out. Lies of security

* Life today is a Facade! I am so sick of the inconsistencies, the lies, the facades, only to cover the real agenda, new societal, middle east, and world order, at any cost both financial and moral! Sadly no one listens to the facts and it is approaching zero Hour! I was going to list the facades but the more I think of it I challenge anyone to show me anything at all that is not a facade here or anywhere in the world that this idiot has his hands in! 9/11, war on terrorism, concern for average Americans, The environment, our lives, our country, middle east peace as they desire it and not him, World peace as the world desires it not him, his desire for peace and not war, Anything, Anything, I challenge you! I am sick of living this A to Z lie and being powerless to get the truth heard of to make a difference. The lie of election. The lie of Democracy. Tell me a truth this idiot speaks!

As the US Death toll hits 4000 what does it mean as you look at today's examples of Bush's middle east Destruction! How many more will die before...

As you watch the ugly fruit of Bush's deceitful efforts at new order it is moving so fast we can not keep up with the damage. in the US it is the facade of concern for average Americans while he destroys their life's and makes them think they owe him thanks for it. Around the world it is the facade of concern for world peace as he does absolutely everything possible to undermine it as he endeavors to replace existing order with the Bush version. In the middle east it is the practice of Division used to divide and conquer he uses on us and the entire world as he uses once again his facade for desired peace but fails to remind you, only on his terms and no one else's and he will destroy the entire world to have his peace.

Anyway as our death toll hit 4,000 in what he says is an endeavor to bring peace or stability to Iraq but is actually a desire to stay his original course for attacking them and that is attacking Iran. Watching as expected Iraq explode again I have to hope this sinks McCain's effort to capitalize off Iraq as Bush has. However I want to discuss our 4,000 deaths and discuss what they mean amidst today's proof of Bush's middle east explosion that is just beginning and will not be quelled period. What does it mean? How many more?

Last night I am sorry to say we heard the death toll in Bush's illegal war hit 4,000! The four were killed when a homemade bomb hit their vehicle as they patrolled in a southern Baghdad neighborhood, the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq said. A fifth soldier was wounded. The grim milestone comes less than a week after the fifth anniversary of the start of the war. Also Sunday, at least 35 Iraqis died as the result of suicide bombings, mortar fire and the work of gunmen in cars who opened fire on a crowded outdoor market. Nearly 100 were wounded in the violence.

* The news of the 4,000 mark came on the same day that Iraq's national security adviser urged Americans to be patient with the progress of the war, contending the struggle has implications for "global terror." "This is global terrorism hitting everywhere, and they have chosen Iraq to be a battlefield. And we have to take them on," Mowaffak al-Rubaie said Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer." "If we don't prevail, if we don't succeed in this war, then we are doomed forever. I understand and sympathize with the mothers, with the widows, with the children who have lost their beloved ones in this country. "But honestly, it is well worth fighting and well worth investing the money and the treasure and the sweat and the tears in Iraq." * I thought the decider made Iraq the frontline of the so-called war on terror deciding to fight them there before the front comes to our shores as it will regardless of what they say!

Supposedly When conditions warrant the withdrawal of American troops, the Iraqis will say, "'Thank you very much, indeed,' " al-Rubaie said. "A big, big thank you for the United States of America for liberating Iraq, for helping us in sustaining the security gains in Iraq ... and we will give them a very, very good farewell party then." The lies about Iraq

4,000 wasted American lives and I hate to say it but the Iraqi's would only say get riddance but our idiots in charge will not be leaving. They will kill each other whether we are there or not so knowing this is just beginning in the middle east what do the deaths mean?
ANALYSISBy ANTHONY H. CORDESMANThe 4,000-dead mark will symbolize the real cost of the U.S. participation in the war in Iraq, and the courage and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. It will also inevitably trigger another wave of polarized debate. Those who oppose the war will see the 4,000 dead as further reason to end it. Those who support the war will point to military progress and say that future casualties will be much lower. There is likely to be something of a saturation effect in this debate.

There already are a host of Iraq-related issues to deal with. We will reach the 4,000 mark at a time when the fifth anniversary has already triggered a new wave of debate on its own, and Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker's testimony before Congress on Iraq progress will come in early April. It will interact with the $3 trillion war cost debate, the bitter exchanges between Democratic Party candidates, Iraqi debates over political accommodation, and al Qaeda's ongoing suicide attacks and atrocities.

This makes it likely that the level of debate over just how much a round number of killed matters may be less intense than it might be otherwise. No one will be able to avoid mentioning the number, but it will be one statistic among many. As for its real world significance, the 4,000 figure is obviously a symbol. The grim fact is that 4,000 killed is really no different from 3,999 or 4,001. There are, however, several points that do deserve consideration when we reach this figure. The wounded figure since March 19, 2003, is now well above 29,000. It is far, far higher than the number killed, and often has a more lasting impact on those who sacrifice as a human tragedy and in terms of costs. If one counts the number of men and women whose lives have been virtually destroyed by critical combat wounds and adds that total to the number killed, we reached 4,000 long ago. Far too much media coverage focuses only on "killed.

" There needs to be balance in counting all of the wounded, and far more attention paid to the number of critical physical and psychological wounds and disability cases. In many ways, news reporting on the "stats" of the fighting now covers only half the sacrifice of those who serve in uniform. Tragic as this situation is, the actual casualty rate has been incredibly low by historical standards relative to Vietnam, Korea and previous wars. Far fewer have been killed and far fewer wounded. For all the debates over MRAPs and body armor, the United States has been able to sharply reduce the human cost of war.

Those who have done so much to reduce casualty rates also deserve recognition. In practice, they often seem to receive virtually nothing but media and congressional criticism. No one can really predict at this time whether we will be able to sharply reduce the future rate of casualties during 2009-2010, and move to "strategic over watch" and reliance on the ISF for almost all the fighting. We could see a failure of political conciliation lead to more intense U.S. fighting and a new rise in casualty rates or even to U.S. withdrawal. The odds of success in Iraq now seem higher than those of defeat, and events seem more likely to steadily reduce U.S. casualties, but there are no certainties. The Uncertain Meaning of 4,000 American Military Dead in Iraq
It really bothers me that anyone in their right mind does not realize what Bush's original goal was and how this is going to turn out. Peace in Iraq is just one of the numerous facades that mark Bush's mis-administration as he endeavors to destroy existing societal and world order to replace it with his new version! I just want to highlight today's events as a result of Bush's "drive for Peace"
Islam in Turmoil!
Al Qaeda's No. 2 figure, Ayman al-Zawahiri, calls on Muslims to attack Western interests in defense of the Palestinians in Gaza

Hezbollah calls for resistence, rally in Lebanon

Factions fight in Lebanese camps! Kurds shot dead in Northern Syria! US air strike kills 6 Iraq Allies! Hamas men tortured in Egypt!Saudi's to retrain 45,000 clerics, Yeah right! Iraqi forces battle rogue Shiite militants! Amidst this and much, much more:
Baghdad's main mortuary has seen a rise in the number of corpses received in the past fortnight amid a new wave of violence in and around the Iraqi capital, its director told AFP on Monday. The mortuary has received an average of 15 bodies per day of people killed in attacks in Baghdad in the past two weeks, Munjid Redha Ali said.

Redha Ali said since the beginning of 2008, the mortuary had noticed a new grim trend -- the arrival of bodies of women, mostly married, who had been killed with gunshots to the head. At least two out of every 10 bodies were of murdered women between 20 and 30 years of age. "We have no idea what is the reason for the killing but most of them have gun shots," Redha Ali said. International human rights activists say there has been an overall rise in crimes against women since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime, with so-called "honor killings" rising steadily. mortuary success in Baghdad

This is the success in the middle east the success in Iraq Bush brags about and McCain wants to build on!? As staying the course becomes more and more evident not just in the destruction of the middle east but also world order it should be increasingly obvious to the most jaded idiot that Bush has already ensured that 4,000 American casualties will in the end be dwarfed. Oh my sons!

Destruction of the world in the name of peace is an underlying theme of mine.

I am putting this together early as I have to go entertain the folks at the nursing home! I will be on the destruction of the world in the name of peace again today and these right wing war mongers will not be denied and it is sickening to hear us and the world demeaned so they can just continue their wars. It gets worse today of all days for these perverted Christian assholes. Happy Easter! This is a continuation of the joke of peace! Cheney talking peace I mean come on. They want their way period and will destroy the middle east and the entire world to have peace but on their terms. No Way! The rest of the middle east wans it on theirs.

With supposed Peace hopes In Ramallah, Mr Cheney met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and is due to meet Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. Security is tight for the visit, with police blocking streets within several kilometres of the government compound. Earlier, he said Washington was committed to the establishment of a Palestinian state and that Palestinian leaders could be "certain of America's goodwill". America's Goopdwill, what the hell is that?

Mr Cheney also reaffirmed US backing for Israel. "America's commitment to Israel's security is enduring and unshakeable, as is our commitment to Israel's right to defend itself - always - against terrorism, rocket attacks and other threats from forces dedicated to Israel's destruction," he said at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Saturday.
"The United States will never pressure Israel to take steps to threaten its security." US President George W Bush has said he hopes for a peace deal before he leaves office in January. But the BBC's Tim Franks in Jerusalem says Israelis and Palestinians are sceptical about the chances for peace. Opinion polls suggest that most people doubt that the current talks, given an extra push by the Americans at the end of last year, will lead to a deal any time soon. Peace is a facade

Anyway yesterdays conversation as this will ratchet up with Iran, the entire middle east, and the world in the name of Peace! Iran, as a nation, has deep roots in spiritual and religious discourse and faith in humanity’s righteousness. Its poetry and literature are full of metaphysical references to humankind’s sense of compassion, justice, insights into human nature’s philosophical consciousness and adherence to logic, reason and above all, the equality of all people and nations. There is an overwhelming faith in global morality and an associated conviction that all disputes between different countries can be resolved by dialogue and appropriate adjudication.

On the other hand, the American dogmatic global doctrine is fundamentally based on the use of POWER, both political and military, in the promotion of its capitalistic ideological enterprise and the expansion of its authority worldwide. The Iranian world view and the American global perspective are two diametrically opposed concepts. Hence, the Iranian people have great difficulty in comprehending American political behavior vis-à-vis Iran’s desire to acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The Iranians will be well-advised to understand that the US has, traditionally and historically, misused the UN and the Security Council innumerable times as a tool and an extended arm of its foreign policy adventurism by exerting pressures and other tactics on this world body. In the conduct of global politics, the Americans conveniently disregard the notion of morality when self-interest is at stake. The Security Council’s role in slamming sanctions against Iran is a plan of action deliberately orchestrated by the US and its Western European allies to continue their power dominance of the region.

They and all of us are screwed as Bushco has all the abusive power he needs to wage total war in the name of peace and it is coming quickly. I heard McCain in France say China has defiled it name and world standing. Frig! I constantly tell everyone Bushco decries the world for its actions while they themselves are leading the way.You know we have been hearing rumors of a desire by the waest of having Israel be the western Capital of the weorld. Also while their McCain shunned the Palestinian's while visiting Israel and telling them Jerusalem should be their Capital.

Peace my rear! Now Cheney is there saying he wants peace and Bushco is not just willing to fight for Peace but to go all the way. Yeah Destroy the world in the name of peace! What the hell is that? Iran and the world are screwed in the name of Christianity, new world order, and peace. I decided to post part of yesterdays conversation because of todays coorborating events as I have to go to the nursing home and entertain for Easter but will be back! I did want to check on the number of Amercans killed in Iraq today and on the 10 explosions in the green zone. Success! AAARRRGGGHHH!

This destructive peace is immenent! I have to say, I thought Fallon taking command over there was the ket to the kick off to the ineviteable war with Iran and wrote accordingly. However with all his tactical and Commend experience he became the stop to an Iran attack because he knows the folly of an attack. I then realized his dismissal to be the ket to the attack and now McCain was in Israel saying we want peace but on our terms, and today Cheney the friggen idiot is over there saying he wants peace and will destroy the world to have his way. It is going to happen real quick now. I am sickened!

In this regard I remember Blackwater founder Eric Prince was testifying before Congress. When he was testifying. I was very suspect. Now looking at this! Even Blackwater's marketing materials are infused with the imagery of global humanitarianism; one of the company's recent ads shows a tiny malnourished infant being spoon-fed and proclaims the company's intention to "provide hope to those who still live in desperate times."Yet the most important vehicle for Prince's global aspirations isn't Blackwater proper, but Greystone Limited, a company he quietly founded in 2004 as his firm's "international affiliate." According to Chris Taylor, a former Marine Recon soldier who until May was Blackwater's vice president for strategic initiatives, Prince sought to build a new brand. "Blackwater has a sexy name and people pay attention to it," Taylor says, and sometimes that high profile "may not fit the proposed mission." In particular, he says, "international opportunities" were to be "looked at through Greystone." Clok and Dagger Peace your way and to the highest bidder? For anyone anywhere in the world? This is the future? Destruction for peace on your terms? oh shit!

I was overwhelmed by the two story lines today, China, Tibet, Olympics, the US, Iraq, Al Qaeda, lies, hidden agendas, who's worse? How'll it end WW3?

I was Going through the BBC and American MSM this morning it was all about the underhanded American's, passportgate, Mukassey saying terrorists threats are mindboggling, Al Qaeda threats in Iraq,all designed to fear monger with not a one spec of proof offered. As for China it was all about Tibet, the crackdown, how open China will be, Bush insisting he is going to the Olympics, and China declaring a blockade on news coverage. It was overwhelming the amount of BS. With two dozen stories on those two subjects alone I was flustered not knowing what to talk about. I got to wondering who was the most underhanded and had it reaffirmed that despite what we want there is no way in hell we are going to be able to avoid this upcoming WW3. The subversion practiced on citizens just to What?

I just don't get it? Do the math! Al-Qaida: Overselling the enemy SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD

How is it that despite being told there are no more than 6,000 al-Qaida fighters in Iraq, while there are 158,000 U.S. troops stationed there (never mind the coalition forces and the Iraqi military police), we're also being told that al-Qaida is there to stay? The Associated Press reported the "U.S. Commanders: al-Qaida in Iraq to stay" story last week, describing the group's "remarkable staying power" in a country in which we're to believe that the group has little support from locals?

How can a terrorist army of 6,000 with no roots in Iraq prior to our invasion of the country and with nothing in the way of major visible support from the outside (that would be preventable) be any match for our trained military and mercenary contractors? Heck, they might leave as soon as we do. It's not as though al-Qaida in Iraq has much in the way of connections and support from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida. As much as President Bush would love to make the connection between bin Laden and Iraq stick, a Pentagon-sponsored study recently debunked that myth. Indeed, there's a duality with the message we're receiving from Bush: Al-Qaida (in Iraq) is on the run (so the surge is a success!), but they're really tough, so we're probably going to have to go ahead with maintaining those permanent/long-term bases in Iraq.

In what appears to be a move to align himself with the Bush administration's long-term plans for Iraq (Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama oppose permanent bases), Sen. John McCain, who also maintains that al-Qaida in Iraq is on the run (but still not beaten), keeps trying to link the group to Iran. He's done that several times in recent months. But there's no link between the Shiite nation and the Sunni terrorist group, and in an embarrassing turn of events, Sen. Joe Lieberman (himself no fan of Iran) felt compelled to publicly correct him. 6000 Al Qaeda beating 158000 Americans?

While the Bush-McCain line of thinking is at work, it will be impossible for us to get an honest assessment of al-Qaida in Iraq. I have to tell you, After following McCain in the middle east, listening to his misstatements there and listening to him in England, and now in France, I am struck by the simple fact that he is the one chosen by the right to follow Bush's war mongering agenda and the guy, partisanship aside, Is losing it seeming to have dementia and not even being capable of carrying an intelligent cohesive conversation. I know it sounds like his boss but we can not afford this again.

Then there was the overwhelming subversion with Tibet, the Olympics, and news blackouts in China because of their success? Don't expect to turn on your TV during the Beijing Olympics and see live shots of Tiananmen Square, where Chinese troops crushed pro-democracy protests nearly two decades ago. Apparently unnerved by recent unrest among Tibetans and fearful of protests in the heart of the capital, China has told broadcast officials it will bar live television shots from the vast square during the games.

A ban on live broadcasts would disrupt the plans of major international networks, who have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to broadcast the August 8-24 games and are counting on eye-pleasing live shots from the iconic square. The rethinking of Beijing's earlier promise to broadcasters comes as the government has poured troops into Tibetan areas wracked by anti-government protests this month and stepped up security in cities, airports and entertainment venues far from the unrest.

The communist government's resorting to heavy-handed measures runs the risk of undermining Beijing's pledge to the International Olympic Committee that the games would promote greater openness in what a generation ago was still an isolated China. If still in place by the games, they could alienate the half-million foreigners expected at the games. Like the Olympics, live broadcasts from Tiananmen Square were meant to showcase a friendly, confident China -- one that had put behind it the deadly 1989 military assault on democracy demonstrators in the vast plaza that remains a defining image for many foreigners.

"Tiananmen is the face of China, the face of Beijing, so many broadcasters would like to do live or recorded coverage of the square," said Yosuke Fujiwara, the head of broadcast relations for the Beijing Olympic Broadcasting Co., or BOB, a joint-venture between Beijing Olympic organizers and an IOC subsidiary. BOB coordinates and provides technical services for the TV networks with rights to broadcast the Olympics, such as NBC. China to block certain live broadcasts

* I don't get it? We are as bad as they are but I don't understand with China's dirt poor human rights record how it is that they were even allowed to hold the Olympics in the first place? What does that say as to where the world is headed in the near future? Amidst all this with China crushing and trying to hide Tibet's so called "Sabotage", American's warned of constant spying even in their bedrooms, Bush says he is going to the Olympics anyway! Why? What is this all going to prove? What is to be gained besides more war if we stay in Iraq? attack Iran? The promise of future war? I do not see it all ending any other way but! What the Hell does that tell you?

Super Delegate "Hispanic" Richardson Endorses Obama, this should push him over top, in light of our conversations of late can he be even "allowed" ..

Super Delegate "Hispanic" Richardson Endorses Obama, this should push him over top, in light of our conversations of late can he be even "allowed" to be Elected?

I have to tell you, I just spent 3 hours working on something and my computer shut down before I could save it leaving me totally oblivious to remember what I just did. However thinking of my line of thought with what Bush has purposely done to our country I decided to highlight them and though Bill Richardson's endorsement should push Barack over the top, knowing what Bush or the people behind him has done and are about to do and why, can Obama even be allowed to be President? I think not!

Bill Richardson, the nation’s only Hispanic governor, endorsed Barack Obama for president Friday in Oregon. The New Mexico governor, who dropped out of the Democratic race for president in January, in his endorsement showed great admiration for Obama’s speech on race delivered Tuesday in Philadelphia. “Senator Obama reminded us that cynicism is not realism and that hope is not folly,” Richardson said Friday. “He appealed to the best in us … his words are one of a courageous, thoughtful leader who understands that a house divided against itself cannot stand.” Obama gave the Tuesday speech in part to respond to controversy surround his long-time pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr.

Richardson said Obama called on America to move past racial divisions. Calling him a “once-in-a-lifetime leader,” Richardson also praised the Illinois senator for his longstanding opposition to the Iraq war. The governor’s endorsement comes as Obama leads among delegates selected at primaries and caucuses but with national public opinion polling showing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton pulling ahead of him amid controversy over statements by his former pastor. Richardson had been relentlessly wooed by Obama and Clinton for his endorsement. As a Democratic super delegate, the governor plays a part in the tight race for nominating votes and could bring other super delegates to Obama’s side. He also has been mentioned as a potential running mate for either candidate.

“I believe he is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime leader that can bring our nation together and restore America’s moral leadership in the world,” Richardson said in a statement obtained by the AP. “As a presidential candidate, I know full well Sen. Obama’s unique moral ability to inspire the American people to confront our urgent challenges at home and abroad in a spirit of bipartisanship and reconciliation.” Richardson’s endorsement also could help Obama pick up support among Hispanics, who are the nation’s largest and fastest-growing minority. Clinton has been the favorite of Hispanics in primaries and caucuses, according to exit polls. She won the New Mexico caucus in early February with a nearly 2-to-1 advantage among Hispanics. Read and watch the endorsement

Richardson was a roving diplomatic troubleshooter when he was a congressman from New Mexico, negotiating the release of U.S. hostages in several countries and meeting with a rogue’s gallery of U.S. adversaries, including Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro. “There is no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama has the judgment and courage we need in a commander in chief when our nation’s security is on the line. He showed this judgment by opposing the Iraq war from the start, and he has show it during this campaign by standing up for a new era in American leadership internationally,” Richardson said. Obama said he was “deeply honored” to have Richardson’s support. “Whether it’s fighting to end the Iraq war or stop the genocide in Darfur or prevent nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists, Gov. Richardson has been a powerful voice on issues of global security, peace and justice, earning five Nobel Peace Prize nominations,” Obama said in a statement. Richardson endorses Obama for President

* This should push Barack over the top! If it does and elections are even held and are not stolen again in any number of ways can Barack be allowed into office? Think about all bush has done on his way to new societal and world order and you tell me! Of late many around here are panicking and preparing for the worst by hunkering down, learning how to raise their own food, lower expectations, and be more self sufficient.

* Many of us keep harping on the fact that Bush has been endeavoring to create a one world economy with a one world Government while replacing the worthless dollar he created with a new monetary system. I heard a worthless debate this morning about shoring up the failing dollar. Bush would never allow that as he has purposely been destroying it and giving it all way while running us into the ground. We know we are the enemy and the so called terrorists are the tool. After hearing Romney calling Democrats the enemy to America and reading articles calling for the end of Medicaid, Medicare, Welfare, and most of the programs the sickly, elderly, and needy, rely on to live. I realize we are in serious trouble!

**Bush has purposely been bankrupting the economy. He has purposely allowed our infrastructure to fail while giving our money away to the rich. He has taken away from you every tool possible to simplify or even make a life while bailing out big corporations. He has purposely allowed Katrina and a growing number of natural and manmade disasters occur while saying he cares and doing absolutely nothing as he endeavors to create a new societal order. ** He attacked Iraq and will attack Iran soon while instigating division Between Israel and the rest of the middle east and all the whilst saying he wants peace as he is well on his way to a total middle east breakdown he calls a new middle east order. ** Also while saying he wants world peace he has done everything possible to instigate world war including putting the MDS unnecessarily on Russia's doorstep, proliferating advanced weaponry and nuclear knowledge to those he being the decider wants. Most recently he is instigating Serbia and Russia to war by pushing Kosovo to break away. Bush is close to his new societal, middle east, and world order, including the breakdown of our economy and attacking Iran while taking total control of us using the awesome powers he has stolen. He will not allow the Dollar to be shored up as he has purposely destroyed it while giving away what he can before he implements the new monetary system.
* Can anyone realistically believe he or his handlers will allow Obama or anyone else to get elected and put an end to this long planned long designed, long in the works plan to an end? I think not! What say you?

Bush polls hit new low but he could care less as he declares mission still unaccomplished and will not be deterred! Meanwhile McCain reasures UK PM!

You know, it is sickening watching Bush and Cheney say they do not care what we think and merely laugh at us as they stay the course of world destruction. Bush would rather listen to his damn dog. I would too but we are stuck with listening to him! Anyway! Five years after he green-lighted the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, President Bush faced strikingly low approval ratings as he reaffirmed his commitment to "accept no outcome but victory" in the war. What the hell does he care? Why do we waste our friggen time?

Sixty-seven percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey disapprove of the president's performance. The 31 percent approval number is a new low for Bush in CNN polling and is 40 points lower than the president's number at the start of the Iraq war. "Bush's approval rating five years ago, at the start of the Iraq war, was 71 percent, and that 40-point drop is almost identical to the drop President Lyndon Johnson faced during the Vietnam War," CNN polling director Keating Holland said.

"Johnson's approval rating was 74 percent just before Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964, which effectively authorized the Vietnam War. Four years later, his approval was down to 35 percent, a 39-point drop that is statistically identical to what Bush has faced so far over the length of the Iraq war," he said. But there was no sign that the conflict would end soon.

During a speech at the Pentagon Wednesday, the president called the debate over Iraq "understandable" but insisted that a continued U.S. presence in the region was crucial. "Defeating this enemy in Iraq will make it less likely we will face this enemy here at home," he said. "We're helping the people of Iraq establish a democracy in the heart of the Middle East. A free Iraq will fight terrorists instead of harboring them. Bush popularity hits new low

He's an idiot! Nothing will change except for the number of dead and wounded. I am sick of the idiocy that we will fight the terrorists here if we do not defeat them there. We will not defeat them there. We will only succeed in staying there until Bush can attack Iran. We will be fighting them here regardless of when we leave. This Bush created mess is just beginning. Meanwhile the idiot just cares about continuing his illegal wars!
It has been five years since the United States invaded Iraq and the world watched in horror as what seemed like a swift victory by modern soldiers and 21st-century weapons became a nightmare of spiraling violence, sectarian warfare, insurgency, roadside bombings and ghastly executions. Iraq’s economy was destroyed, and America’s reputation was shredded in the torture rooms of Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and the Central Intelligence Agency’s secret prisons.

In a speech on Wednesday, the start of the war’s sixth year, Mr. Bush was stuck in the Never land of his “Mission Accomplished” speech. In his mind’s eye, the invasion was a “remarkable display of military effectiveness” that will be studied for generations. The war has placed the nation on the brink of a great “strategic victory” in Iraq and against terrorists the world over. Even now, Mr. Bush talks of Iraqi troops who “took off their uniforms and faded into the countryside to fight the emergence of a free Iraq” — when everyone knows that the American pro-consul, L. Paul Bremer III, overrode Mr. Bush’s national security team and, with the president’s blessing, made the catastrophically bad decision to disband the Iraqi Army and police force.

Mr. Bush wants Americans to believe that Iraq was on the verge of “full-blown sectarian warfare” when he boldly ordered an escalation of forces around Baghdad last year. In fact, sectarian warfare was raging for months while Mr. Bush refused to listen to the generals, who wanted a new military approach, or to the vast majority of Americans, who just wanted him to end the war. All evidence to the contrary, Mr. Bush is still trying to make it seem as if Al Qaeda in Iraq was connected to the Al Qaeda that attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001. He tried to justify an unjustifiable war by ticking off benefits of deposing Saddam Hussein, but he somehow managed to forget the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

Vice President Dick Cheney was equally deep in denial on Monday when he declared at a news conference in Baghdad that it has all been “well worth the effort.” Mission not accomplished

These idiots could care less this will exceed $3 trillion and many more lives and suffering as long as they can attack Iran and further their new order forever wars. Meanwhile his predeseor is in Britain making ties and reassuring the British PM. I am sickened that while the Childish Democrats wage a pissing contest amongst themselves. Bush's replacement is going around the world reassuring allied leaders that he will be there for them. mcCain reasures UK PM

Besides inhuman living standards and 2 million immigrants look at Bush's Iraq success from a morticians eyes!

What Bush doesn't want you to hear about his created Hell for Iraqi civilians! First "Despite claims that the security situation has improved in recent months, the human rights situation is disastrous," Amnesty International says in its report, titled "Carnage and Despair: Iraq Five Years On." In a summary of the report, Amnesty writes that "a climate of impunity has prevailed, the economy is in tatters and the refugee crisis" keeps escalating.

The International Committee of the Red Cross, in a report titled "Iraq: No Let-up in the Humanitarian Crisis," writes, "Despite limited improvements in security in some areas, armed violence is still having a disastrous impact. Civilians continue to be killed in the hostilities. "The injured often do not receive adequate medical care. Millions of people have been forced to rely on insufficient supplies of poor-quality water as water and sewage systems suffer from a lack of maintenance and a shortage of engineers."

Both Amnesty and the Red Cross slam the Iraqi government for failing to grapple with the critical needs of their populations. The two reports cite a litany of concerns, including severe widespread poverty, a lack of food and water, and broken families left to scrounge for whatever they can find to get by. Both reports describe a situation that shows no sign of clear improvement. Many women "have been forced to wear Islamic dress or targeted for abduction, rape or killing. That is not to speak of the more than 2 million permanent nomads because of Bush's success that McCain promises to build on.

Almost to prove nothing positive will continue to be accomplished in Iraq and its Government Iraq's main Sunni bloc boycotted a conference Tuesday aimed at reconciling the nation's sectarian groups, a sign of the deep schisms still facing this country. Members of the Sunni Iraqi Accordance Front said they would not participate in the conference until Shiite lawmakers address their political demands. They say Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, has failed to release detainees not charged with specific crimes, has not disbanded Shiite militias and has not sufficiently included Sunni lawmakers in decision-making on security issues."How we can attend a reconciliation meeting?" said Saleem Abdullah, a spokesman for the Sunni front. "There are many points that are still not fulfilled." The U.S. is pressing the Iraqis to achieve national reconciliation, warning that progress toward that goal is necessary to guarantee long-term American support.

There is no progress needed. Just the excuse for us to stay there until the excuse can be found to attack Iran. That is why Iraq was attacked and it will not be avoided. The hell the world sees in Iraq that Bush and McCain call success will be spread through out the entire middle east creating a permanent nomadic culture before the entire world is involved in this success of Bush's.

With suicide bombings and bombings on the increase in Bush's success. Last month up to 700 civilians killed it is time to revisit something I posted 2 years ago! This is a war without front lines against an enemy who wears no uniform. Death can come at any moment, from the blast of a bomb hidden along a road or a mortar round lobbed onto a base. And often, in the angry moments after a comrade's life is ripped away, there is no readily identifiable enemy to confront - only a foreign population in which friend, foe and bystander may seem indistinguishable.

It's a pressure cooker. It's a 24/7 situation in which you're constantly worried about your safety, about danger," said Matthew Friedman, executive director of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It isn't just our troops that have to worry about it. Iraqis have much more to fear from their own and suffer from PTSD also!.

To understand just how brutal the war in Iraq has become, spend a day at work with Sheik Jamal al-Sudani. A Baghdad mortician, he travels to the holy city of Najaf every Friday to bury the capital's unclaimed and unknown dead--the scores of bodies that turn up every day, bearing no identifying characteristics save the method by which they were murdered.

On a typical trip to the Wadi al-Salaam cemetery Sheik Jamal and a small band of volunteers unload the grim cargo they have brought 100 miles from the Iraqi capital in an old flatbed truck. Sheathed in powder-blue body bags are the remains of 72 men, many of them bearing signs of terrible torture.
Holes in the skull made by power drills, mutilated genitals, burns. They are the signature of the shadowy Shi'ite groups that have been kidnapping and murdering hundreds of men and boys, most of them Sunnis, in a campaign that has terrorized Baghdad's neighborhoods. and of course there's Mass graves throughout the country!

On any given Friday, Sheik Jamal inters Iraqis killed by roadside bombs ("I can tell how close they were to the blast from the extent of burning and depth of the shrapnel wounds"), execution ("Their hands are usually tied behind their back, and they've been shot in the head"), garroting and beheading.
He buries victims of U.S. air strikes, some of whose bodies have been fused together by the heat of the explosion "so you can't tell which limb belongs to which head." Every now and again, he will get a body bag with charred-black body parts, dismembered by massive explosions. Those are the remains of suicide bombers. "When you explode a bomb strapped to your chest," he says, "it tears up your body in a particular way."

Death comes to Iraq now in many new and terrible forms. Though there is outrage among many Iraqis about the alleged massacre in Haditha last November, the violence on Iraq's streets is so unrelentingly horrific that even the worst atrocities have lost their power to shock. Few Iraqis even know how many people have died by the bullets and bombs.
Definitive statistics are impossible to find in a country where the most violent provinces are out of bounds for journalists and human-rights workers, and where the state infrastructure--hospitals, morgues, police stations--is not up to the task of caring for the living, never mind counting the dead.

According to the Iraq Body Count project, the most frequently cited source, up to one million Iraqi civilians have been killed since May 1, 2003, when President George W. Bush announced that "major combat operations" had ended. More than 4 in 10 of those deaths are attributable to U.S. forces.

Bush has freed no one! He has imprisoned millions in his created living Hell not to speak of the more than 2 million permanent nomadic refugees and general substandard human conditions and Bush and McCain promise to be there permanently and spread it throughout the entire middle east. We need Obama and must get out of there but nothing will change for those poor people! The idiot still calls this success, says we are drawing down troops which is another lie, and that we must stay there. Yeah until he attacks Iran!

A day after McCain and Cheney's exclamation that Iraq is phenomenal the battle for Iraq continues as human rights groups see phenomenal disaster!

Yesterday Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. John McCain vowed in meetings with Iraq's prime minister that the U.S. would maintain a long-term military presence in Iraq until Al-Qaida is defeated there. Explosions went off near the heavily fortified Green Zone shortly after Cheney arrived. Helicopter gunships circled central Baghdad, but no details were immediately available on the cause of the explosions. The presumptive Republican candidate for president, who has linked his political future to military success in Iraq, met with Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki shortly before the Iraqi leader began separate talks with Cheney.

Proving he is Bush's replacement by reiterating what Cheney said McCain stressed that it was important to maintain the U.S. commitment in Iraq, where a U.S.-Iraq military operation is under way to clear al-Qaida from its last urban stronghold of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Violence has dropped throughout the capital with an influx of some 30,000 additional U.S. soldiers as well as a Sunni revolt against al-Qaida and a cease-fire by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada Al Sadr. McCain, Cheney agree US in Iraq for long haul

They fail to remind you that violence is down in Baghdad primarily because most of its residents have abandoned their homes and fled. They are now part of the two million nomads thanks to Bush's hell on earth Cheney and McCain also call success. What is worse is McCain and Cheney will both be visiting Oman and other important allies in the middle east further proving that McCain being Bush's heir is a foregone conclusion. Cheney's exact word used to describe the so called improvement in Iraq was Phenomenal! Well! Today some truth!

So far the death toll of the Karballa bomb of success is up to 50 with 74 wounded and the road side bombings are rapidly increasing I would assume in direct response to the asinine claim that things are going great. bombings on the increase

It's funny the same friggen day the war mongers are telling the country how great things are so McCain can get elected we hear the truth but the MSM doesn't even mention it! As the war in Iraq reaches its five-year anniversary this week, two of the world's leading humanitarian groups issued extensive reports Monday describing a crisis of huge proportions with little reason for hope.

"Despite claims that the security situation has improved in recent months, the human rights situation is disastrous," Amnesty International says in its report, titled "Carnage and Despair: Iraq Five Years On." In a summary of the report, Amnesty writes that "a climate of impunity has prevailed, the economy is in tatters and the refugee crisis" keeps escalating.

The International Committee of the Red Cross, in a report titled "Iraq: No Let-up in the Humanitarian Crisis," writes, "Despite limited improvements in security in some areas, armed violence is still having a disastrous impact. Civilians continue to be killed in the hostilities. "The injured often do not receive adequate medical care. Millions of people have been forced to rely on insufficient supplies of poor-quality water as water and sewage systems suffer from a lack of maintenance and a shortage of engineers."

Both Amnesty and the Red Cross slam the Iraqi government for failing to grapple with the critical needs of their populations.

Both reports describe a situation that shows no sign of clear improvement. Many women "have been forced to wear Islamic dress or targeted for abduction, rape or killing. That is not to speak of the more than 2 million parmanent nomads because of Bush's success that McCain promises to build on. The disastrous Iraqi Humanitarian crisis

Almost to prove nothing positive will continue to be accomplished in Iraq and its Government Iraq's main Sunni bloc boycotted a conference Tuesday aimed at reconciling the nation's sectarian groups, a sign of the deep schisms still facing this country. Members of the Sunni Iraqi Accordance Front said they would not participate in the conference until Shiite lawmakers address their political demands.

"There are many points that are still not fulfilled." The U.S. is pressing the Iraqis to achieve national reconciliation, warning that progress toward that goal is necessary to guarantee long-term American support. Sunni's boycott unity

There is no progress needed. Just the excuse for us to stay there until the excuse can be found to attack Iran. That is why Iraq was attacked and it will not be avoided. The hell the world sees in Iraq that Bush and McCain call success will be spread through out the entire middle east creating a permanent nomadic culture before the entire world is involved in this success of Bush's.
