Amazing, such anger at the deaths of private contractors, not actual members of the military.

George W. Bush has transformed the country into a continental Lady MacBeth: we will spend decades trying to wash out the spot, and we will never succeed because we didn't impeach when we had the chance.

Brendan Calling John Mccain

Seriously, wipe them out?

Sadly, I'm sure nobody is surprised.

John McCain hates Social Security.

This is what we got when Scalia was allowed to choose for us.
Bush clearly was so far out of his depth; both emotionally as well as intellectually.
What is so astonishing is the number of people who shared Scottie's blind loyalty and set their country aside in doing so.

"...it reads like a deranged and bloodthirsty rant."  That's because it is a deranged and bloodthirsty rant. This man is the most dangerous man we have ever had in the presidency.  And, that god-damned republican party  nominated him and that god-damned American public elected him.  Now, we all have to sweat out the remaining months of his term.  This whole situation is just ridiculous.  I worry about the survival of my children and grandchildren because the GOP wants to protect the millionaire class.

If GW Bush seeks to extend the march of democracy why doesn't he start with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Egypt for that matter?  When he finishes with these countries, he can proceed to the Gulf states like Abu Daabi, the Emirates, Kuwait.  When I listen to his speeches on democracy, I feel like I am drowning in a tidal wave of bullshit.

Tell me I am dreaming and this whole situation is not really happening.

Republicans are surely the spawn of hell.


Follow your bliss

Can you picture Eisenhower reacting this way?

As you probably know, Eisenhower was against the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hillary Clinton is a ghoul.

Any idea what else is in the book?

Kiss 'n' Tell books may be the fad this fall

I'd like to be able to say I'm shocked and disgusted at Bush's "pep talk", but at this point, it's just mostly melancholic numbness. Bush is far too stupid and short-sighted to have even been trusted with the raising of children, as far as I'm concerned, but 'Leader of the "Free" World'? No way.

I remember hearing back before Iraq I think, that a relatively newly-installed Bush and a few of his future-war criminal buddies at the White House were having an extra-special, whoop-it-up, private screening of Black Hawk Down. And with all that was to come in the horrible future, I just recall thinking, "Well, that can't be good."
No. It can't. And it wasn't.

Lunacy, but not surprising. It sounds like more of "Bring 'em on." Or remember when Bush was joking with his campaign donors at a party about searching for WMD under a tablecloth, and he and everyone laughed?

Besides the notable lack of empathy, there's a total disconnect: Kill them if they try to stop the march to democracy???

Didn't you get the note?

Ricardo Sanchez is just another "disgruntled employee" of the Bush administration who is probably mad because he was "out of the information loop".  He's probably a closet Democrat, too.

Nothing to see here, folks.  Let's just move it along.  Do as you're instructed and go on about your business, fighting terrorism with your credit card.

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity"

I just had a flashback to the really well edited scene in V for Vendetta when Adam Sutler was giving his rant.

Blogging While Brown Convention Atlanta, GA July 25-27, 2008

Jeffrey Skahill on Democracy Now for 2 hrs this morning, his new Blackwater book update out this week. Beyond Fallujah the new branch of Blackwater creating the privatized CIA, w/help of Coffer Black is another legacy we will be saddled with.

sounds like something from Bush's cheer-leading days at Yale..

shorter, smaller Bush, so short he's reduced to a speck of a bump on a rotting log.

and McSame is just as war-obsessed.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Oliver Stone is making a movie about Bush.  I hope it is not too late for him to include this dialogue in the movie:

"Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!"  

If anyone is in doubt of Bush's mental fitness to be president, this would answer that question nicely.  

I forget who first mentioned it, some time in the early years of this century: that Bush is never so passionate and articulate when speaking, as when he is calling for people to be killed.

Bush's remarks, by the way, are right out of Hitler's Table Talk.  He really is a war criminal.
