Another Unpatriotic, “Cut & Run” Coward Says “Bush Ignored Urgent Warning on Iraq.”

“The White House ignored an urgent warning in September 2003 from a top Iraq adviser who said that thousands of additional American troops were desperately needed to quell the insurgency there, according to a new book by Bob Woodward, . . . The book describes a White House riven by dysfunction and division over the war.
The warning is described in ‘State of Denial,’ . . . Bush's top advisers were often at odds among themselves, and sometimes were barely on speaking terms, but shared a tendency to dismiss as too pessimistic assessments from American commanders and others about the situation in Iraq.
As late as November 2003, Mr. Bush is quoted as saying of the situation in Iraq: ‘I don't want anyone in the cabinet to say it is an insurgency. I don't think we are there yet.’"
“The Bush administration is not telling the public the whole story about the level of violence in Iraq and has not acknowledged that its intelligence experts predict ‘next year, 2007, is going to get worse, . . .’”

Iraq war hurts terror fight

"The war in Iraq has only worsened the U.S. effort to defeat global terrorism, and the longer it continues the more likely it is that it will provide fresh training grounds for future terrorist plots, U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded. "Still, the great patriot “Rev. Falwell assured those attending the prayer breakfast that God would preserve a Republican majority in Congress.” God Help Us!

“We Are Not Winning” Afghanistan. Is Gen. Wes Clark, Like Colin Powell, Another Unpatriotic Coward Challenging Brave Men Like Bush, Cheney & Rove?

"In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, U.S. forces achieved a rapid, high-tech victory over Afghanistan's terrorist-supporting Taliban government. Five years later, the Taliban is back. . .
"And make no mistake: we are not winning. . . . if we think the mission is only about counterterrorism or counterdrug operations, then we will lose. . . .We must acknowledge the magnitude of the task and pull in the full authority of the international community. NATO can do much more than just supply troops. We need to acknowledge that, yes, we do nation-building."
Meanwhile, on the Western front, Maj. Gen. John Batiste, claims that the “conduct of the Iraq war fueled Islamic fundamentalism across the globe and created more enemies for the United States.” He must, like Wes Clark and Colin Powell, be yet another unpatriotic coward.

ABC's Hidden Agenda & Vigil Says Bye Bye Bree & Denny.

“How to explain this skewed approach by ABC producers and screenwriters except to note that the November Congressional elections are not far away, and the neo-conservatives are in hot water? By contrast, the delayed firefighters documentary film on CBS--shown in the Charlotte region on WBTV at a late hour due to language content--was a compelling human story with no discernible political agenda. Title: ‘Gedeon & Jules Naudet Update Their 2002 Documentary on the September 11 Attacks.’

Which is more deplorable: the censoring of real-life language on the ‘ground zero’ scene, or the editing of central facts about the leadup to the national tragedy? Part II is next. Viewer discretion advised, indeed.”

Ridiculing Bush is a patriotic duty-cruel jokes about the president can stop terrorism.

“Bad presidents happen to good people.. . . let me suggest that in a world turned hostile to America, the smartest message we can send to those beyond our shores is, ‘We're not with stupid.’ Therefore, I contend -- with all seriousness -- that ridiculing this president is now the most patriotic thing you can do. Let our allies and our enemies alike know that there's a whole swath of Americans desperate to distance themselves from Bush's foreign policies. And that's just Republicans running for reelection.
. . .it's important, because America is an easily misunderstood country these days -- a lot of the time it's hard to make out what we're saying over the bombs we're dropping.
But we are not all people who think putting a boot in your ass is the way to solve problems, because even allowing that my foot lodged in your ass would feel good, which I don't -- what then? OK, my boot is in your ass, but I can't get it out, so I'm not happy, and it's in you, so you're not happy -- there's no exit strategy.
Anyone who opposes the indefinite occupation of Iraq shouldn't be labeled an al-Qaida supporter. That's like saying that if I tell my exterminator that there are more efficient ways to rid the house of vermin than hitting them with a hammer, I'm ‘for the rats.’. . .
So while honoring the anniversary of September 2001, we must also never forget September 2000. That's the month when Gov. George W. Bush said, "I know that human beings and fish can coexist peacefully." If you don't believe me, you can look it up on both internets. The world changed on 9/11. He didn't. That's why we owe it to ourselves, and our children, to never stop pointing out that George W. Bush is a gruesome boob.”

"It's unfortunate that ABC would trust the depiction of a still painful and politically volatile subject such as 9/11 to a writer best known for fantastical storytelling.

“[The author] Hasn't Talked To Clinton About Path to 9/11 Because `He Was Out Campaigning Against My Son Yesterday' . . . As 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said yesterday, 9/11 is ‘is a story that's of great importance to every single American.’ It's not a political game.”

Abe, Did You Ever Consider that Misogyny Might Piss Off the Sun Goddess?

"Japan celebrates birth of male heir . . . ‘That's great,’ said the prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, who was forced to withdraw plans to introduce a bill allowing the emperor's first child to ascend the throne, regardless of gender, days after Kiko's pregnancy was announced in February.
The chief cabinet secretary, Shinzo Abe, who is expected to replace Mr Koizumi as prime minister later this month, described the birth as ‘a refreshing feeling that reminds us of a clear autumn sky’. He added: ‘I am very glad that the prince was born.’ Mr Abe, a conservative who had misgivings about changing the 1947 succession law, which allows only male descendants of an emperor to inherit the throne, called for 'careful and calmdiscussions' on the issue."
