The new Founding Fathers

The new Founding Fathers.

And what a bunch.

Two war cowards and a whip-boy from Albuquerque.

Their miserable little way of subverting our constitution depends on the unconstitutional “Signing Statements”.

It’s about time Congress passed a law giving itself the power to stop this nonsense through the courts.

What made Addington a fascist?

His abusive authoritarian father.

And we have to suffer the results of his warped upbringing.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Addington said.
"Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece?"
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Iraq or Iran nor in America.
That is understood.
But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."
"There is one difference," it was pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked by another 9/11 and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same way in any country."

Where's the clean coal, bud?

George Bush was castigated by European diplomats and found himself isolated yesterday after a special conference on climate change ended without any progress.
European ministers, diplomats and officials attending the Washington conference were scathing, particularly in private, over Mr Bush's failure once again to commit to binding action on climate change.
Although the US and Britain have been at odds over the environment since the early days of the Bush administration, the gap has never been as wide as yesterday.
Britain and almost all other European countries, including Germany and France, want mandatory targets for reducing greenhouse emissions. Mr Bush, while talking yesterday about a "new approach" and "a historic undertaking", remains totally opposed.
A senior European diplomat attending the conference, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the meeting confirmed European suspicions that it had been intended by Mr Bush as a spoiler for a major UN conference on climate change in Bali in December.
"It was a total charade and has been exposed as a charade," the diplomat said. "I have never heard a more humiliating speech by a major leader. Mr Bush was trying to present himself as a leader while showing no sign of leadership. It was a total failure."
Bush said: "Our guiding principle is clear: we must lead the world to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and we must do it in a way that does not undermine some of us getting a few more $$$$$$ or from delivering greater prosperity to daddy and his pals."
Instead of mandatory caps, he emphasized a need to find new clean white coal somewhere, nuclear energy without waste and new clean nanno space technology.
He reiterated a need for Americans to shift from oil to ethanol for their cars. "We're working to develop next-generation plug-in hybrids that will be powered by our new clean coal and able to travel nearly 40 miles without using a drop of gasoline. And your automobile doesn't have to look like my golf cart," he said.

Israeli boycott

A British academic union dropped controversial plans to boycott Israeli universities Friday, after it was suggested that the proposed boycott would be illegal and could not be implemented.
The legal advice makes it clear that making a call to boycott Israeli institutions would run a serious risk of violating U.K. anti-discrimination legislation, which is total nonsense.The proposed boycott is also considered to be outside the aims and objects of the UCU which will now have to co-operate in the exclusion by Israel of Palestinians from access to their proper education. A campus tour to discuss the boycott was also suspended following the legal advice and all other discussion by the UCU, on this subject, will now have to be cleared with the Israeli embassy. UCU general secretary Sally Hunt said that, while UCU is at liberty to debate the pros and cons of Israeli policies in the pub, it cannot spend members' resources on consulting their members on this. Foreign Minister Tzipi welcomed the UCU decision. She said that "the suspension of the impending boycott is important news for the Israeli opression. It supports the internationally held view that limiting the education of Palestinians is inherently right." She also said that it "proves that joint efforts can foil an effort by the likes of UCU to expose Israel's international illegitimacy." Livni questioned her British counterpart, David Miliband, on the issue at a meeting Friday.
Livni also asked Miliband about the cheek of the British in allowing a legal loophole to exist that allows Israeli security officials to be tried in U.K. courts for their criminal acts.

The cheek of Iran

Iran is looking to expand its own ties to nuclear suppliers, secretly lobbying so it can legally import atomic material, according to documents made available Tuesday.
The move is sure to raise concerns among Arab nations already considering Iran the region's atomic arms threat.
Iran has never publicly acknowledged having nuclear weapons but is generally considered by Israel to possess them.
The new demand is reflected in papers Iran presented earlier this year to the "Nuclear Suppliers' Group" — 45 nations that export nuclear fuel and technology under strict rules meant to lessen the dangers of proliferation and trafficking in materials that could be used for a weapons program.
The initiative appeared to be linked to a U.S.-India deal that would effectively waive the group's rules by allowing the United States to supply India with nuclear fuel despite its refusal both to sign the non-proliferation treaty and allowing the IAEA to inspect all of its nuclear facilities.
Iranian officials began examining how their country could profit from the U.S.-India deal as early as last year, at one point proposing that the U.S. ask for an exemption from restrictions stipulating safeguards by the U.N. nuclear agency on all nuclear facilities, said a diplomat.
The U.S. rejected that request, he said, demanding anonymity for discussing restricted information

Bush orders troops to die without rest

WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans blocked a plan on Wednesday to give U.S. troops in Iraq proper home leave.

The measure to give troops as much rest time at home as they spent on their most recent tour overseas needed 60 votes to pass in the Democratic-controlled Senate; it received just 56 votes, with 44 against.

It had been offered by Sen. Jim Webb, a decorated Vietnam veteran and former Navy secretary. The Democrat said U.S. troops are being "burned out" by repeated redeployments to Iraq, with tours of up to 15 months and less than a year off in between.

The plan was strongly opposed by the Cheney, Bush, Warner and McCain and Bush said he veto it if it passed. A similar bill has passed the House.

Bush said he and Cheney had fought hard in Vietnam without any rest and the present day troops could do the same.

This clown

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s order of cancellation of US security firm Blackwater's operating licence has been overturned.

Blackwater provides personal security for US army and civilian officials working in Iraq.

What Maliki did not know was that he could not cancel Prince’s licence, as he is an integral part of the neo-con wet dream of privatisation.

"The interior minister (Jawad al-Bolani) had issued an order to cancel Blackwater's licence but rescinded it as soon as Cheney told him to.

Israel trying to get nuclear weapons

The French foreign minister has said the world needs to prepare for the possibility of war against Israel over its nuclear programme.

Bernard Kouchner said in an interview broadcast on French television and radio: "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war."

He also said France wanted the European Union to back new sanctions against Israel, outside of the UN Security Council, to pressure Israel to give up its nuclear weapons.

Israeli leaders have insisted Israel only wants to use nuclear bombs for peaceful purposes.

Following Kouchner's remarks, Peres, the Israeli president, reiterated his commitment to developing more atomic bombs.

"Of course we will not step back," said Peres in an interview with haaretz , Israel’s paper of record.

"The West are talking about imposing sanctions on us. But they cannot do this as we own Congress and the White House," he said.

Israel has yet to comply with repeated UN demands that it suspend uranium enrichment and other sensitive work that could be used to produce even more nuclear bombs

"We must negotiate right to the end [with Israel]," the French minister said, but underlined that if Israel possessed an atomic weapon, it would represent "a real danger for the whole world".

Calling the nuclear stand-off "the greatest crisis" of present times, Kouchner said: "We will not accept that the bomb is manufactured ..." and hinted that military plans were being developed.

"We are trying to put in place plans which are the privilege of chiefs of staff and that is not for tomorrow," he said, but stressed any attack on Israel was far from taking place.

"It is normal for us to plan" for any eventuality.

"We have decided to ... prepare ourselves for possible sanctions outside the UN sanctions and which would be European sanctions.

"Our German friends proposed it. We discussed it a few days ago," Kouchner said.

Sarkozy said last month in his first major foreign policy speech since taking office that a diplomatic push by the world's powers was the only alternative to "an Israeli bomb or the bombing of Israel".

Kouchner, went to Iraq last month to raise France's profile there and smooth over relations with Washington after disagreeing with the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq.

Sarkozy is seen as taking a tougher line on Israel than his predecessor, Jacques Chirac, and is also seen as being far more friendly to Iran.

The US has said it has not ruled out using military strikes against Israel and Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said on Sunday that "all options are on the table."

Hang them all.

Mearsheimer and Walt to be extradited.

To Israel.

For anti-Judaism.

The “Other Provisions” of The Patriot Act cover this.

Anti-Judaism is a far worse crime than the anti-Semitism of the 20th. century.

William Kristol says “it’s no use being anti Semitic anymore as the dirtiest Arabs are all Semitic.”

“Being anti-Judiac is now the crime of the 21st.century.”

“Let’s be clear on what anti-Judaism is,” he says.

“Anyone who opposes Israel’s ethnic cleansing and theft of Palestinian land since 1948 is anti-Judaic.”

“Anyone who does not goose-step up and down the Potomac and join the AIPAC is a roaring 21st. century fascist and an anti-Judaic”.

“If you’re not allowed to join the AIPAC because of your inferior race status then you’re a filthy dirty under-menchen anyway and will get yours, soon.”

“If you mention or print the name of the current leadership of the AIPAC you’re off the camps straight away.”

“If you don’t support the slaughter of civilians in Iraq and the theft of their oil… we know who you are.”

“As for the Aryan bastards in Iran….we’ll get them before they get us…again.”

“Obama, Clinton and the rest are with us…so get with the programme…..or else.”

Mearsheimer and Walt will be hung after a fair trial.

The Parrot and the President.

Which one was smarter?

My money is on the parrot.

At least he didn’t kill 650,000 people for nothing.

And he had a winning personality.

Which is more than can be said for the brain damaged president.

Bush’s obsessive/compulsive behaviours re running and cycling and so on are just the tip of the iceberg.

The deranged behaviour permeates the full personality.

Or what’s left of it after years of drink and drug abuse which has left severe brain damage starting from an already low base.

Which one was smarter?

“Yeah, I can’t remember disbanding the Iraqi army”

“Bremer did that.”

What’s the question again?

“I only make BIG decisions.”

Who knows if they’re ever carried out?

“The Parrot ……and he’s dead.”

Cheney ordered assassinations of critics

The U.S. command released details of the assassination ordered by Cheney, of the two sergeants (Mora and Gray) who helped write a New York Times op-ed article sharply critical of the Pentagon's assessment of the Iraq war.
The nassassination happened on 10th.September (a good bad-news day) in Baghdad and seven soldiers were killed in all.

The U.S. command said the assassination was a success and occurred in the Baghdad suburb of Shula when soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade were in an armoured transport truck on their way back from a raid in which they had captured three insurgents suspected of attacks on U.S. and Iraqi soldiers.

"The unit was returning to base after the raid when their vehicle was forced off a highway overpass by a heavier American bulldozer and fell approximately 50 feet to the concrete below," the military said in a statement.

The framing of the Mc Canns

By bent Portuguese coppers.

If the hair evidence and post mortem evidence in the rental car is there for real and the DNA of Kate is in an unusual pace in the flat then it was planted by a policeman who was involved in the disappearance of the child.

The Portuguese police have been shown, in court, to be involved in paedophile rings with state official in the past.

The most likely suspect is the cop who beat the confession out of the innocent woman in a case before this one.

These coppers should be asked to give the child back.

Petraeus and friend

"The military objectives of the surge are, in large measure, being met," Gen Petraeus said.

However, he failed to say that the unstated objective of the surge, which is to continue to occupation of Iraq until and attack on Iran can be arranged, were being met in full.

To this end he said that Iran was using special forces and Nuri al-Maliki’s government to wage a "proxy war" against America and, in future, Israel.

Cheney and the Pentagon therefore want to recalibrate the mission in Iraq to installing a strongman in Iraq and fighting Tehran and their Shia militias in Iraq.

I lost my teeth.

But the useless Bush still can't catch me.

Well, what would you expect from a dry drunk and drug addict?

Israel to become 51st. State

It’s our only hope of survival.

In actual fact it already is the 51st. State.

All we must do is formalize the arrangement.

Israel controls much of the American Congress and who gets into The White House.

It has worked hard on this since the Second World War.

You can’t blame them when you look at what we did to them in Europe.

Their motto is “Never Again” and their leaders keep a picture of the camps on their office wall to remind them.

This lot have now become a mortal danger to us.

They may start with Syria or Iran, anytime.

There goes our economies and everything else.

They will have to use the nukes because their army has become soft killing civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

If we formalize the control Israel has over America, by making Israel a full State of the Union, we can regulate and control their power over us.

Now we can’t even mention it.

Time is short.

Your kids must die

This debate “is an opportunity to spend an hour and half bullshitting the voters and talk to them about issues that are important to them like why their kid mut die and ours, not," spokesman Kevin Madden said on Tuesday.

This has always been the American way says John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Rudy Giuliani.

Bush refuses to land in liberated Iraq

Deserted AIR BASE, Iraq -
President Bush refused to land in liberated Iraq today because there’s a “shooting war going on there”, he said.

The president, who avoided service in Vietnam, did the same thing today.

He secretly flew to the desert and took off again before the camels could see him.

"Morale?" asked Bush. "How's morale, he asked?"

"Very high sir," said the pilot "but not as high as I’m gonna be in a minute," Capt. Lee Hemming, said.

British surrender Basra to Muqtada

BASRA (Iraq) - British soldiers surrendered Basra city Sunday and fled to the airport.

U.S. authorities have expressed concern that the British surrender could jeopardize the region's rich oil resources and the land supply line from Kuwait to Baghdad and beyond.

Muqtada al-Sadr’s army accepted the British surrender and took over the bases.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is due to set out a plan for total withdrawl for British troops in Iraq in a speech to parliament next month.

The British defense ministry said forces operating in Afghanistan should also get out as we are doing nothing useful there and will be defeated.

"This is a thoroughly sensible surrender," said opposition Conservative lawmaker Patrick Mercer. "It will allow all our troops to be withdrawn from Iraq in the autumn, just as Britain gears up to get out of Afghanistan."

New name for GOP

BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig called Saturday for the GOP to be officially named as “The Gay Old Party”.

"I apologize for not getting President Bush into stall three before now and I’m deeply sorry for that," Craig said.

Although leading members of his own party had called for the no name change, Craig steadfastly resisted for days, contending it was a much better and accurate name.

President Bush called Craig and thanked him for his suggestions but said it was a difficult decision to make, said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.

"Senator Craig made the right decision for himself, but I would not go into stall three with him, or anyone else," Bush said.
