There is an excellent post today by Glenn Greenwald, whose perspective on the invasion/occupation of Iraq, the Bush administration, politics and the realities of today’s conservatism, conservatives, neo-cons and Bush-cultists has crystallized over the last few weeks into an eerily prescient vision.
Here’s his latest entry on the increasingly bizarre lengths to which Republicans will go [...]
Some good stuff today:
From BobGeiger today an entry by Dr. Forbush on how Bush’s policy of fear is biting him in the ass.
And from Glenn Greenwald over at Unclaimed Territory yet another good post on Bush’s dying Presidency.
And over at MediaMatters they have a post showing that Fox News seems to think that blowing up [...]
OK, we are now entering Alternative Universe territory. According to Donald (Duck) Rumsfeld we are losing the war in Iraq…excuse me, he said we’re lagging “dangerously behind”, which isn’t exactly the same thing as winning…because Al Qaeda has better Blackberries.
The United States lags dangerously behind al Qaeda and other enemies in getting out information [...]

“It’s about control of dwindling resources. It’s about getting control of the Caspian Sea oil basin and gas basin before upcoming superpowers like Russia and or China can do so.” Dahr Jamail
Journalist Dahr Jamail joins us this time. He has written for the Nation, Inter Press News and other [...]
It occurred to me this morning that the story of Dick Cheney shooting his hunting partner in the head with a shotgun is important because of what it illustrates about this administration but even more importantly what it illustrates about the people of this administration.
Those of us who have been critical of the bush administration [...]
Glenn Greenwald has two posts up that really define what is happening in this country right now politically. The people destroying, and rooting on the destroyers, aren’t conservatives at all, they are bush cultists. As I pointed out yesterday he really nailed the reality of the bush defenders and today he addresses the [...]
It appears that our dear Great Vice-Leader is as careless with a shotgun while birdhunting as he is with the facts while selling a war of aggression.
There is a lot wrong with this of course. I don’t know which bothers me most, the fact that it took 24 hours before anyone mentioned what happened [...]
Today’s editorial in the NYTimes really nails this criminal adminstration to the wall. The problem is that the Times has shot itself in the foot so many times with its own reporting and involvement in the WMD issue (the last item on their litany of sins) that to castigate Bush now for that lie [...]
Riverbend blogging on life in Baghdad this week
“Where’s baba?” J. asked, panicking for a moment before we heard his slippered feet in the driveway. “Did they take him?” Her voice was getting higher. Ammoo S. finally walked into the house, looking weary and drained. I could tell his face was pale even in the relative [...]
Well, I wonder if the puppetmaster will be moving even further behind the scenes? This little tidbit is making the rounds today and I wonder if it is vapordata or a real possibility…
Vice-President Frist?
“Rumors have it that Vice President Cheney is to step down amidst health and/or Libby related issues. On that same note, [...]
This Talk Nation Radio transcript covers the White House and NSA program of secret spying on Americans. The President and Attorney General have said the program is legal.
