Enemy Responds To "Surge" With Surge Itself May 5, 2007

Not surprisingly, the enemy in Iraq has clearly responded to Bush's "surge" in Iraq with a surge of its own.  What did the "President" expect?  Did he really think insurgents would roll over and capitulate?  The situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate.  Yet, Mr. Bush and his henchmen claim quite the opposite, -- since they no longer count car bombing casualties in their casualty figures and/or as a measure of enemy activity.  In the perverse world of the fascist element in our once great country reality is delusion, delusion is reality, and sense is nonsense.  ... Aren't we lucky?



U.S. Soldiers Polled May 4, 2007

Army soldiers and Marines in Iraq were recently polled regarding their views of Iraqi citizens and their treatment of them.  Reportedly, approximately 10% of soldiers and Marines admit they've abused Iraqi nationals.  Less than half admitted they would indeed report such activity to commanders.  Approximately 47% of soldiers and 38% of Marines polled said non-combatants should be shown respect.  Most disturbingly, approximately at least a third support torture.

Gen. Patraeus was so alarmed by the findings he ordered additional training.  ... Aren't they supposed to get such instruction shortly after enlistment?  Senior military officers are appalled since such views and abusive activity destroy foreign support of American military action, not only in Iraq, but elsewhere.

Worse, the enemy will use such abusive activity by U.S. military personnel as an excuse to torture and/or abuse Americans captured on the battlefield.  Military brass also understand information retrieved from abuse and/or torture is virtually worthless since torture victims tell "interrogators" only what they want to hear.  Then again, wouldn't want to confuse the Fascist Right in our formerly great country with the truth, would we?



LAPD Goons Assault Immigration Protesters In McArthur Park May 1, 2007

Los Angeles police apparently have an infinitely steep learning curve.  ... One they seemingly have no chance of ever successfully climbing.  See the video of LA's "finest" criminally assaulting immigration protesters in McArthur Park?  When will such thugs, authorized to wear a badge and carry a gun, be prosecuted for such crimes?

Sadly, similar behavior four decades ago led to the murder of innocent police officers, -- officers who had absolutely nothing to do with such behavior.  Think history doesn't repeat itself?  Just as importantly, how do honest citizens distinguish criminal officers from the criminal element they supposedly target?



Bush Vetoes War Spending Bill May 1, 2007

Mr. Bush vetoed the war spending bill since it contained provisions for beginning of troop withdrawal from Iraq.  Clearly, ole' George "The Tush" does not believe elections have consequences.  Intends to do as he pleases, -- regardless of the will of the American public.



Attorneys Denied Access To "Detainees" May 1, 2007

The Bush "Administration" continues to deny attorneys access to "detainees" and the classified material used to charge them.  When allowed access, they're not permitted to discuss such "evidence" with their clients.  -- Nazi America, where day is night, night is day, and manure smells perversely sweet.



Millions In Katrina Foreign Aid Refused And/Or Squandered By Bush "Administration" April 29, 2007

Literally, millions in foreign aid offered to Hurricane Katrina survivors were refused or squandered by the Bush "Administration."  To date, victims of this extremely vicious storm are currently living in squalor and desperate need nearly two years after the catastrophe.  ... Making refusal and/or squandering of foreign aid by Mr. Bush particularly despicable.  Where are congressional investigations?



Tenet Turns On Bush April 27, 2007

For approximately three years, the Bush "Administration" cowardly and falsely laid the blame for launching the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses on former CIA Director George Tenet.  Readers will recall Mr. Tenet supposedly assured the "President" the existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction a "slam dunk."  Fascinating, isn't it?

Finally, in a book titled At The Center Of The Storm, Tenet came out swinging.  ... Amusingly exposing "Vice President" "Slick Dick" Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their handling of Iraq and 9/11.  Be interesting to see if his allegations stand.

... At the very least with former "Administration" officials so willing to publicly criticize the "President" and his henchmen, only a matter of time before the truth finally comes out.   Certainly, hope so.  Then again, Mr. Tenet does not view "enhanced interrogation techniques" as torture, --  again placing his credibility in question.

In a Sixty Minutes interview ole' George was indeed agitated, manic.  Worse, he was amusingly combative, intimidating, arrogant, abusive, and overly emotional.  Still, it will be most interesting to see if his allegations hold water.


Congress Passes Emergency Iraq Spending Bill Including Troop Withdrawal Requirements April 26, 2007

Defying the "President," the Senate joined the House and passed an Iraq spending bill that includes troop withdrawal requirements.  Mr. Bush has repeatedly claimed he will veto the bill.



Giuliani Claims Only Republicans Can Protect Against Another 9/11 April 25, 2007

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani claims only Republicans can protect the American people against another September 11th attack.  ... Seems ole' Rudy has his head so far up his ass his eyeballs are turning inside out.  -- As well as his "judgment."  Mr. Giuliani is a product of a Jesuit education.  Readers are well-advised such individuals proceed with life in one of two ways: the path of Right Wing fascism or conversely, the embrace of freedom, i.e. liberty.  As this writer clearly knows from experience, there is no middle ground.  Sadly, ole' Rudy's obliteration of the Bill of Rights while Mayor in "cleaning up" the City is proof positive of his predilection.



Army Sgt. Jim Wilt Questions Flag Policy April 24, 2007

U.S. Army Sgt. Jim Wilt and his fellow soldiers place their lives at risk everyday in Afghanistan.  Responding to the order of the "President" to fly the Flag at half mast in tribute to Virginia Tech students and professors killed recently by a madman, the good sergeant rightfully asks why the Flag is not similarly flown for military personnel killed in action.  Good question.



Former Soldier Ordered Not To Tell Truth About Tillman Death April 24, 2007

Former Army soldier Bryan O'Neil told Congress he was ordered by a superior officer not to tell the truth about Army Ranger Pat Tillman's death from friendly fire.  Readers will recall Tillman was the former NFL star who turned down millions to enlist and was falsely awarded the Silver Star for actions on the battlefield that did not occur.  ... This is no reflection on Mr. Tillman, however, who indeed died tragically at the hands of his buddies, but rather on the military establishment that falsely created a "hero" that did not exist.  All in the name of phony propaganda.



Kocinich Files 3 Articles Of Impeachment Against "VP" "Slick Dick" Cheney April 24, 2007

Amusingly, Democratic presidential candidate Cong. Dennis Kocinich filed three articles of impeachment against "Vice President" "Slick Dick" Cheney.  ... Fascinating, isn't it?  More importantly, why haven't both Bush and Cheney been impeached four years ago?



ACLU-Criminal Website Deletions

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
