Two U.S. Soldiers Missing In Iraq June 17, 2006

One American soldier was killed and two are missing in Iraq after an attack Friday.  Violence increased markedly over the last several days, with at least 36 Iraqis killed in numerous attacks Saturday.  This, despite an aggressive crackdown by Iraqi authorities after "President" Bush's departure earlier this week.

Not surprisingly, Rep. William Jefferson, D-La finally got the boot from the Ways And Means Committee by a resolution passed by the entire House.  As reported earlier in this publication, Mr. Jefferson is the target of a federal sting investigation in which he reportedly accepted some $100,000 in bribes.  While he has not yet been indicted, the House acted properly.  Jefferson will regain his seat on the committee should there be no charges and the investigation dropped.

Earlier this week, Congress conducted hearings regarding $1.4 billion in FEMA Katrina fraud.  Money was squandered on $200 bottles of wine at Hooters, repeated billings of rent assistance by the same perpetrators, luxury vacations, even divorces.  It was clearly Christmas in September for thousands of Americans who shamelessly looted the agency.

The "President" signed a bill into law allowing $325,000 fines per offense for broadcasters who violate "decency" standards.  This is no more than another blatant attack on the First Amendment and the right to free-expression.

When will we start fining the "President" for a true obscenity, -- his repeated deception of the American public regarding the fiasco in Iraq?  Or his latest unconstitutional attack on the Fourth Amendment vis a vis warrantless domestic spying?  Nazi America.  Where day is night, night is day, and manure smells perversely sweet.

The American military believes Abu Ayyub al-Masri, also known as Abu al-Muhajir, has replaced slain Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as Iraq al Qaeda commander.  Al-Masri means "the Egyptian."  It is believed bin Laden and his top cronies were unhappy with Zarqawi's killing of innocent Iraqis.  The change in leadership was facilitated by an al Qaeda operative through the betrayal of Zarqawi's location to American military authorities.

American commanders earlier confirmed this betrayal.  They and the "Commander In Chief" occupying the White House, however, also believe Zarqawi's killing to be a victory over al Qaeda, -- despite the fact his removal was obviously planned and executed at the highest levels of al Qaeda.

With phony propaganda coming from both the enemy and our government, it is difficult to know precisely what the truth is.  Clearly, however, al Qaeda cleverly presented the American military with a gift horse that commanders and the "Chief Executive" were all too ready to take credit for, -- no matter the truth or reality.

2500 American military personnel have been killed in action in Iraq.  Nearly 18,500 have been maimed.  The "President" has conveniently and cowardly moved the goal posts to cover his ass.  The new prime directive is a "sense of order," as reported below.

Both Houses of Congress falsely "debate" a "support of the troops" resolution, that includes no provision for amendments, thus deliberately stifling any real debate.  Republicans have cunningly forced the issue to ensure the "President" is able to continue his failed policies in Iraq.

Admitting the invasion of Iraq was a colossal mistake would take courage the GOP apparently no longer has.  Instead, they deliberately distort reality, falsely claiming any exit strategy tantamount to "cutting and running."

Consequently, additional Americans will be killed and maimed, supporting the "President's" corrupt and abusive ass.  ... As civil and constitutional rights and liberties continue to be eviscerated as the fascist occupying the Oval Office consolidates power.

The "President" has foolishly created a terrorist haven in Iraq that did not exist prior to the American invasion.  -- A terrorist training ground where extremists proficiently learn their craft, killing and maiming U.S. military personnel.  Deliberately and deceptively, Mr. Bush still falsely links Iraq to the 9/11 catastrophe and the "War On Terror."

The killing fields of Iraq, i.e. the streets, are far more dangerous and deadly than during the barbaric regime of Saddam.  A sectarian civil war has broken out that did not exist before the American invasion.  Despite claims to the contrary by domestic Right Wing fascists, Iraq is far more violent and unstable than it was under the deposed dictator.

The "President" stubbornly and foolishly intends to continue sending our best and brightest to fight a war they cannot win.  -- Never confuse a fascist with the truth, however.  Consequently, the killing and maiming will remain unabated and likely increase.  ... Until Congress cuts all funding as it eventually did during the Vietnam era.  With Republicans securely in power and Democrats too cowardly to unite in principle against continued prosecution of the war, withdrawal will not happen anytime soon.

Worse, the "President's" "War On Terror" will ultimately fail because it does not address the root causes of terrorism.  That is, unevenhanded American policy in the Middle East vis a vis the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, continued support of the corrupt and abusive House of Saud in Saudi Arabia, garrison of American forces in Moslem countries, continued import of foreign oil, and the failure to become energy independent decades ago.  Until these policies are changed and/or rectified, expect the "War On Terror" to ultimately fail.

In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed itself and ruled it's constitutional for police not to knock before breaking down a door.  Prior to this ruling, no-knock forced police entry was usually reserved for drug suspects, -- to prevent them from flushing evidence down the commode.

Now, it's okay for America's "finest" to batter down a door without knocking virtually any time they choose.  Nazi America.  Sadly, this will endanger police officers.  Countless Americans, when faced with a house invasion, would be more than willing to shoot first, ask questions later.  -- Whether, the invaders are common criminals or jack-booted government thugs.

Not surprisingly, newly-appointed "Justices" Alito and Roberts tipped the balance in this decision.  Legal experts believe this ruling is a convenient end-run-around thrown out evidence of illegal searches for prosecutors.  A blatant assault against the Bill of Rights and its protections.  Jack-booted government goons will now have little to no incentive not to conduct illegal searches.  As a result of this ruling, nearly anything goes.  Again, Nazi America.

Both Alito and the Chief "Justice" have clearly demonstrated they have no regard for the Bill of Rights and the protections it used to afford.  Sadly, this is a fascist court that nearly always tips the balance to government at the expense of civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

In a stroke of apparent bravado after Mr. Bush's visit, the Iraqi government claims seized intelligence information before the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi will lead to the ultimate defeat of al Qaeda.  Can only hope so.  ... Sadly sounds like a government slug talking out his ass, however.  Phony propaganda, intentionally disseminated to demoralize the enemy.  Even American intelligence experts question the veracity of the claims.  We'll see.

Sadly, Islamic terrorists in Thailand felt perversely compelled to prove they're alive and well,
-- after the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq.  They set off over forty bombs in an extremely well-coordinated attack.  ... An attack that government officials knew was coming, but could do nothing to prevent.

Immediately after departure of Mr. Bush and his party, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki immediately launched a crackdown on insurgents.  The effort is the largest to date since the American invasion and occupation.  Despite the crackdown, insurgent violence continues unabated.

Clearly stung by falling poll numbers, the "President" is indeed frantic to shore up public support of his failed Iraq policy.  History is amusingly repeating itself.  Mr. Bush is "dumbing down" goals of the war.  ... As did his predecessors in Vietnam, -- Presidents Johnson and Nixon.

Realizing the violence will not end, the "President" has conveniently moved the goal posts.  Peace and rule of law imposed by a legitimate Iraqi government are apparently no longer a possibility in a country torn by sectarian civil war.  Mr. Bush now claims a "sense of order" as the new prime directive.  Amazing, isn't it?

Not surprisingly for an oilman, however, the "President" also claims oil should be the "unifying factor" of the Iraqi people.  Who'd 'a 'thunk' it?  ... Hey, George?  Whatever the hell happened to "liberty" and "democracy," Mr. "President?"

Wait a minute dear readers.  ...  Momentarily ignore the supreme irony of the "President's" newly-stated "dumbed down" goals.  ... Eureka.  ... A true moment of unmitigated enlightenment has occurred, hasn't it?  ... The "President" finally touched on the true reason he went to war under false pretenses.  It's the oil, stupid.

In a cunning political stunt truly worthy of recently "exonerated" Bush advisor Karl Rove, the "President" flew to Baghdad to meet with newly-installed Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
-- The surprised Prime Minister in Baghdad was to video-conference with Bush and his henchmen at Camp David.

Sadly, the "President" placed political considerations and sagging poll numbers ahead of his safety, the safety of those with him on Air Force One, as well as that of people on the ground should his plane had been shot down by insurgents.  Mr. Bush and his party spent six hours in the Green Zone before departure.

No question, the "President" will receive a spike in his popularity ratings.  After all, the American people are too damned aggressively stupid to see through the smoke and mirrors.
... As the insanity and violence continue unabated in Iraq after the killing of al-Zarqawi.

Last evening, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed the attorney of Bush political advisor Karl Rove he (Rove) will not be prosecuted in the Valerie Plame CIA leak fiasco.  This is extremely good news for the "President" and his henchmen.

There are at least five possibilities.  First, Mr. Rove is as clean as the driven snow.  Second, the prosecutor accepted numerous inconsistencies in Rove's five grand jury appearances as due to "memory failures" as claimed by Rove.  Third, the prosecutor indeed believed Rove to be guilty of perjury, obstruction of justice, and outing Ms. Plame, but could not indict him due to "insufficient evidence."  Fourth, the prosecutor was influenced by enormous political pressure brought by the Bush "Administration" to give Rove a free pass.  Fifth, the prosecutor was bought off, i.e. bribed.

The saddest part of this entire debacle?  No one in the Bush "Administration" has been charged with disclosing the identity of Plame as a CIA operative, in direct retaliation for her husband's (former Ambassador Joe Wilson's) strong criticism of the "President" and his phony reasons for going to war in Iraq.

All evidence to date implicate indicted former Cheney Chief of Staff "Scooter" Libby as the culprit.  -- Done at the apparent direction of "Vice President" "Slick Dick" Cheney.  Libby, however, has not been charged with outing Plame, i.e. the deliberate disclosure of classified information destroying her career as an operative.  Certainly, be interesting to see if Libby is indeed tried on the other charges, -- and not pled out by the "prosecutor."  After all, ole' "Slick Dick" must be protected at all costs, right?

U.S. military medical examiners state terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died of blast injuries to his lungs, 52 minutes after the bombing.  According to the examiners, he was not beaten or shot by American service personnel.  DNA results confirm he was indeed the Jordanian-born al Qaeda leader.

Sadly, the U.S.-conducted post mortem will not end false speculation in the Moslem world Zarqawi was beaten and killed by American soldiers.  Precisely, why the autopsy should have been performed by independent medical examiners.

The following is a series of unedited email correspondence between the American Civil Liberties Union and this writer in regard to criminal deletions of Ledger websites over a year ago.  To date, no response, other than a canned autosponder message has been received from national ACLU headquarters to the latest complaint filed.  Apparently, ACLU no longer has any interest in First Amendment issues, -- or is wildly incompetent.  You decide.  ACLU-Criminal Website Deletions
