Exactly.... And....spending more than every single President before him put together while America is the worlds biggest debtor nation.....borrowing $2 Billion dollars every day from the worlds conbined banking reserves......while trillions have gone missing from the Pentagon Bugets......All hail the Bush Administration.....scum.

What about those of his accomplices and business partners? Some of the very Neo-Cons that still control the White House today and armed Saddam and enabled him to build up a power base in the first place, but they will milk this for all it's worth before Tuesday's mid-terms.

Shame that this is now sort of being used to justify why our country went into Iraq and why it's now a big pile of rubble. He shouldn't have been sentenced to death and I really hope he wins his appeal against the hanging but ends up spending his life in prison. How can George Bush or Tony Blair even agree with the death sentence? It doesn't seem very Christian to me.......suprise, suprise.

I'm not religious and I hate fake Christians, yes. You sink to a new level of pittyfull denial and absolutely embarrassing stupidity. Even the way you've set about addressing what I said is purely ridiculous.

Oh jesus. I'm sure you should know he's referring to US Presidents?. Otherwise it would have said "World Leader" or similar.

Of course he is.

Haha, this story made me laugh when I heard about it. He pushes for a ban on gay marriage but is having fun with men and rent boys himself....you've got to chuckle.....full of fake 'Christians' is the US......I suppose it's only natural though, given that the president of the United States of America fits into the same category. Although I don't actually think G.W Bush is gay....... What a frightening thought though.....imagine him coming on to you in a bar....yikes!

Will Doubletree Hotel Video Show Pentagon Impact? Conflicting stories make it unclear, yet there are certainly more tapes to come Steve Watson Infowars.net Friday, November 3, 2006 Rumours have begun circulating today that a video due to be released in one week's time, just prior to the midterm elections, will show clear and crisp footage of American Airlines flight 77 hitting the Pentagon on September 11th 2001. Such a release may sway uncertain voters into sticking with the devils they know rather than the devils they don't as far as the "protection" of America against Al Qaeda goes. The video in question is the Doubletree hotel video, which government watchdog/ sometime propaganda outlet Judicial Watch says has been promised to them on November 9th. 9/11 Blog site Killtown states: "So how much do you want to bet that this Doubletree Hotel security video will be released before this Tuesday (election day) to ’shock & awe’ the voters in hopes to sway the elections, especially if this video finally shows a plane hitting the Pentagon?” In answer to this question, prolific Blogger Kurt Nimmo states: "If I was a betting man, I’d bet the farm on it." I wouldn't be so sure. There are conflicting and confusing stories as to whether the Doubletree video shows anything at all. The FBI, in response to a FOIA request to release all tapes of the Pentagon on 9/11, has stated to attorney Scott Hodes, representative of Mr Scott Bingham who runs the website www.flight77.info, that the Doubletree hotel video did not capture the impact: The same statement also made it clear that the Citgo gas station tape also did not capture anything. This statement was apparently proven to be true last month when that video was released. It remains a mystery why the FBI confiscated the gas station and hotel security videos within minutes of the crash and why they did not release these videos for five years, given that they say they show nothing. Two conflicting stories muddy the waters on this issue however. According to a CNN FOIA request of 2002, a nearby hotel's video DID capture the impact. The following exchange is from a CNN transcript of a report on the 2002 release of the original "parking lot" footage, the four grainy video frames: MCINTYRE (on camera): These pictures are the first to be made public, but they are not the only images of the plane hitting the Pentagon. Sources tell CNN that the FBI on September 11th confiscated a nearby hotel's security camera videotape, which also captured the attack. So far, the Justice Department has refused to release that videotape. Aaron. BROWN: Why? Do we have any idea why they won't release it? MCINTYRE: Well, the claim - we have filed a freedom of information request for it. They claim that it might provide some intelligence to somebody else who might want to do harm to the United States. But officials I talked to here at the Pentagon say they don't see any national security or criminal value to that tape. The FBI tends to hold on to things. But the government may eventually release that tape, and if they do, we'll bring it to you. Furthermore, a story by Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough that appeared in the Washington Times 10 days after 9/11 backed up this claim, pointing out that hotel staff had sat watching the video surveillance in horror before the FBI arrived and shut down the scene: A security camera atop a hotel close to the Pentagon may have captured dramatic footage of the hijacked Boeing 757 airliner as it slammed into the western wall of the Pentagon. Hotel employees sat watching the film in shock and horror several times before the FBI confiscated the video as part of its investigation. It may be the only video available of the attack. The Pentagon has told broadcast news reporters that its security cameras did not capture the crash. The attack occurred close to the Pentagon’s heliport, an area that normally would be under 24-hour security surveillance, including video monitoring. The confusion mounts as there are suggestions that this video may not be the Doubletree video but a tape taken from cameras at the Sheraton National Hotel which overlooks I395 and the Pentagon, and has a clear view of the impact zone. The FBI says, however, that there is no Sheraton video in existence. So which is it to be? Does a hotel video capture the impact or doesn't it? Was Gertz simply making his story up about the hotel staff seeing the video? And if the FBI is telling the truth about the Sheraton Hotel then why did the Sheraton, a major building in the area, not have any cameras in operation? Whichever story you believe, whether the footage does or does not show the impact, the fact that the footage exists is not denied. So something does not tally up here. The FBI further admits that it has a total of 85 video tapes seized on 9/11 from businesses and traffic poles in the area. It is maintained that only the previously released parking lot footage shows the impact. How unlikely is it that out of another 84 confirmed surveillance tapes directed at the building, none of them captured anything? I predict that if the Doubletree video shows anything at all it will only serve to bolster the straw man argument and further hype up the debate over what actually hit the Pentagon on 9/11. As Killtown points out: "if this video does indeed show a plane flying into the Pentagon, it will not actually show the plane hit, but in fact will show it disappear behind the Pentagon’s west wall (see aerial photo above) and then a fireball will obviously be seen coming up over the roof. This will be very similar to what was seen with the first video of the 2nd WTC crash shown “live” on TV which shows a plane (with no discernible markings) come across the screen and disappear behind the North Tower (which is blocking the view of the South Tower) and then a fireball is seen erupting from the other side. In this sense the video would fit right into the ludicrous "no planer" theories which suggests that planes hitting the WTC towers were CGI edited into TV footage. This would then further stir debates about no plane hitting the Pentagon. Unanswered questions need to be explored, but the Pentagon issue must not become the core focus of the 9/11 truth movement. There is evidence that suggests a 757 hit the Pentagon, there is evidence that suggests something else hit the Pentagon. What is not in doubt, however, is that whatever it was, it was not flown by a man who didn't know his way around the inside of single engine cessna and was described by his former flight instructors as "A weak student who was wasting resources." The danger is clearly that the government will use its media mouthpieces in particular Fox News to hype the Pentagon issue until it becomes the de facto keystone of alternative explanations behind 9/11. At the point when that crescendo reaches its peak crystal clear footage of Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon (whether real or faked) will be released, knocking down the straw man argument that the establishment itself erected. The media obsession with this one facet of an entire smorgasbord of 9/11 questions, and their refusal to address more hardcore 9/11 evidence, leads us to fear that this is the case. We need to concentrate on the concrete facts that point towards a cover up of complicity and not on wild speculation that will only hinder the movement as a whole.

Are Israelis gearing up to bomb Iran? Robert Fox The First Post Thursday, November 2, 2006 The Middle East is abuzz with ugly rumours. One of them is so dire - and comes from sources in so many capital cities - that it has to be taken seriously. The suggestion is that the Israeli government has served notice on the White House that it must take pre-emptive action against Iran's sites of nuclear weapons development - or Israel will go it alone and do the job itself. Israel has apparently given Bush a deadline of six months. The pressure on the Americans - if it is true - comes with the appointment of Avigdor Lieberman, one of the hardest of all hard-liners, as Israel's new Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Strategic Affairs, under the new coalition with his party, Yisrael Beytenu. One reason why the rumour is being taken seriously is that it coincides with another strong rumour - that the Iranian regime of Mahmud Ahmadinejad has ordered Iran's nuclear programme to be accelerated. According to sources, the enrichment of uranium to weapons-grade material is galloping ahead, and Iran could have its own deployable nuclear warheads within four years. Given Ahmadinejad's wild rhetoric about wiping Israel off the map (though the translation of these remarks is now acknowledged to be somewhat fuzzy), Israel's hawks argue there is no time to lose. Former Prime Minister, and Likud leader, Binyamin Netanyahu, for whom Lieberman once worked as chief of staff, has argued strenuously for a pre-emptive strike on Iran. Lieberman, more hawkish than many hawks, was born in Moldova in 1958 and now leads a powerful group of Israeli immigrants from Russia and the former Soviet Union. He criticised Ariel Sharon when, during negotiations with the Palestinians, he ordered some settlements to close. He outraged moderate Jewish Israeli opinion this summer when he suggested that Arab Israelis elected to the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, should be executed if they had held talks with Hamas members of the Palestinian authority. Even the New York Times, known for its strong support for Israel, warned in an editorial a week ago that Lieberman was "the wrong partner" in an Israeli coalition. His inclusion, the paper argued, made any arrangement with the Palestinians difficult, if not impossible. "Creating new obstacles to peace with the Palestinians is the last thing Israel needs after the Lebanon fiasco." Strategic analysts have noticed anti-Iran noises coming from the beleaguered White House, too. "It's the same sort of language we heard in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq," one Washington insider told me. A London correspondent favoured by the Bush-Blair circle said, "It's clear that Bush will not dream of leaving office under the suspicion that he allowed Iran to get nuclear weapons on his watch. He will act, and will feel uninhibited after the mid-term elections." The practicalities of bombing Iran's nuclear installations are quite another thing, according to serious analysts. Israel lacks the capability to hit in one blow all the places where weaponry is being developed; planes would need mid-air refuelling that only the Americans could provide; and some centres of nuclear energy production - Bushir, Natanz and Tehran itself - are heavily populated. Civilian casualties would be high. There is an even more compelling reason why realists like General John Abizaid, US commander for the region, and former Secretary of State James Baker are counselling the hawks in Israel as well as Washington to cool it. Not only would a pre-emptive strike on Iran miss more than it hit - it would invite immediate and devastating retaliation. The Revolutionary Guards could launch a global terrorist campaign and the Iranian Air Force could bomb the offshore gas installations stretching along the Gulf from Qatar. That would knock out 15 per cent of the world's natural gas supply at a stroke.

Hahaha, I was just thinking about the "suprise". Kerry's helped them out indeed...once again.

Lost Moon landing tapes discovered By Carmelo Amalfi COSMOS Wednesday, November 1, 2006 For years 'lost' tapes recording data from the Apollo 11 Moon landing have been stored underneath the seats of Australian physics students. A recent search has uncovered them. They were nearly thrown out with the rubbish. But a last minute search instead has scientists in Western Australia dusting off several boxes of 'lost' NASA tapes which record surface conditions on the Moon just after Neil Armstrong stepped into space history on 21 July 1969. After addressing Earth, the American astronaut set up a package of scientific instruments, including a dust detector designed by an Australian physicist. The data collected by the detector was sent back to ground stations on Earth and recorded on magnetic tapes - copies of which are as rare as the 'misplaced' original video footage of the 1969 touchdown. Last week, up to 100 tapes, clearly marked "NASA Manned Space Center", turned up after a search in a dusty basement of a physics lecture hall at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia. One of the old tapes has been sent to the American space agency to see whether it can be deciphered and 'stripped' of any important data which may have survived the ravages of time. The data are a daily record of the environmental conditions and changes taking place at the lunar site after the Eagle landed safely in the Sea of Tranquility. The most important data were collected after the lunar module blasted off the surface later that day, leaving the still-running instrumentation behind. The information showed that scientific instruments could be affected by setting them up around landing or take-off sites. They also proved that NASA did go to the Moon. The data represented, "the only long-term information on the lunar surface environment, and as such are ideal for planning future lunar missions," according to NASA's website. The "Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package" (EASEP) deployed by Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin - a member of the Cosmos editorial advisory board - consisted of several self-contained experiments including temperature and seismic activity gauges and a small dust detector designed by Sydney-born physicist and environmental consultant Brian O'Brien, 72, who now lives in Perth. The EASEP tool kit was the forerunner of other experimental instrument packages used on the Apollo missions. It was unplugged on 3 August 1969, having survived the harsh lunar conditions despite, in NASA's words, "operating temperatures which exceeded the planned maximum by 30 degrees Celcius". The EASEP instruments were activated again the following day, but by August 27, the experiment was terminated when it stopped responding to commands from Earth ground stations. At the time, O'Brien believed lunar dust thrown up by the ascending NASA module would affect the instruments left on the Moon. He thought that lunar dust could settle on and ruin some of the experiments, which is, in fact, what happened. Future moon dust experiments set up the equipment further away from the lunar modules, and carried glass-covered solar cells to reduce the impact of dust accumulating on the instrumentation. On Apollo 11, the dust detector was attached to the seismometer unit. O'Brien's Lunar Dust Detector Experiment (also called the Dust, Thermal and Radiation Engineering Measurements Package) was designed to assess long term effects of the lunar surface environment on silicon solar cells used on the Apollo missions. This was achieved by measuring the dips in power supply caused by high-energy cosmic particles, ultraviolet radiation and dust and debris, the data also having implications for the health and safety of astronauts exposed to extraterrestrial conditions. The re-discovery of the magnetic tapes at Curtin follows NASA's admission in August this year that it no longer knew where to find the original video tapes of the 1969 landing and Armstrong's famous speech to at least 600 million people around the world. The originals were recorded at three tracking stations - one in the U.S. and two in Australia at Honeysuckle Creek tracking station in the Australian Capital Territory and Parkes radio telescope in central-western New South Wales. Recorded on telemetry tapes, they are said to be the best quality images of the landing (unconverted slow scan TV) yet to be seen by a public still fascinated by the early space race. These tapes were mislaid in the early 1980s on their way to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland. O'Brien brought his data tapes to WA when he left the University of Sydney to head up the state's first Environmental Protection Authority. He placed the tapes in the safe hands of Curtin colleague John de Laeter, emeritus professor of applied physics, whose office is now a temporary home to some of the 28 centimetre-diameter tapes. When I visited de Laeter's office to view the tapes, they looked new, but their age was given away by the fading labels on the plastic covers that detailed in handwritten pen the date and particulars of the lunar surface recordings. The first 25 years of their storage life at Curtin was in a closet-sized store room in a small marine science laboratory in the main physics building. They were later moved to bigger premises under the lecture hall where they have languished underneath the seats of countless physics students for years. O'Brien decided to go looking for the tapes after reading about mislaid television tapes that NASA and Australian scientists are still looking for. At first, one box of O'Brien's old tapes was found. Then, a second search last week by de Laeter, O'Brien and a laboratory manager turned up the rest of the boxed tapes just as the searchers were about to give up. The tapes were almost obscured under outdated electronic equipment which the men had to move. O'Brien was unavailable for comment.

I don't know....and I don't want to know.

I agree. They are the same thing. Nearly all this surface arguing we see on our TV's is just to make us think there is a real debate going on and that both parties will do things differently.....this is not the case anymore.

Ok, but again.... Where Was The Outcry After Bush's Iraq Joke? Kerry was savaged for hinting joining the army is not such a smart move when a Bush is in office, no one battered an eyelid when decider-in-chief guffawed and giggled over 655,000 dead Iraqis and nearly 3,000 dead troops A quip by John Kerry in which he told a young audience that securing a good education would avoid them getting "stuck in Iraq" has been seized upon by Republican attack dogs as election fodder. The Senator's comment killed nobody but when Bush joked about not finding WMD in Iraq, he was making light of 655,000 dead victims and nearly 3,000 dead troops - but the media barely battered an eyelid and Bush never apologized. White House propagandist Tony Snow, taking the bait from a fellow Fox News alumni, waxed lyrical today about how Kerry should immediately apologize for his comments, hours after he had already done so. House Majority Leader and predator Foley protectionist John Boehner promised Fox News' Jon Gibson he would "beat Kerry to death" if he didn't apologize for his joke. When Gibson asked Boehner how long the issue could rumble on and if it could impact the election, Boehner replied, "maybe long enough." Keith Olbermann and a Washington Post reporter were in no doubt that the entire farce was a distraction and a desperate last gasp campaign ploy that was deliberately manufactured by the GOP. They pointed out what any rational thinking person could deduce from Kerry's comments - that he was attacking the foundation and prosecution of the war, not the mental capacity of those unfortunate enough to be there fighting it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQskVI63Ync But where was the outcry when George W. Bush chuckled and guffawed at the fact that his administration concocted the most lurid propaganda since Joseph Goebbels and used it to deceive the American people into acquiescing to a never-ending war that has destroyed a nation and left hundreds of thousands dead and destitute? Where was Bush's apology after he ridiculed the supposed purpose, mission and raison d'etre of nearly 3,000 mother's sons who marched to war on a tissue of lies and came back in flag-draped coffins? At the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association in March 2004, Bush narrated a slideshow of images that showed him puzzled looking around the Oval Office, under tables and behind doors. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere," he mused. "No, no weapons over there." "Maybe under here?," Bush chuckled as fat vacuous Republican stooges in the audience smacked their lips amidst fits of laughter and applause for their gracious leader. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc40lUpql10 Two and a half years later and Bush has failed to apologize for his WMD joke, failed to admit the error of his ways in giving a one finger salute to the crying wives, mothers and daughters who never saw their heroes return home. Recall also what elitist luminary and still reputed Bush advisor Henry Kissinger said about the troops. "Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." That sums up the entire attitude of the Neo-Con overlords and their arrogance in sacrificing human lives on a whim for an imperial agenda but then crying wolf when Kerry merely hints at the fact that joining the army may not be such a bright idea when a Bush is in office. Wednesday, November 1, 2006

What? You just basically missed the whole point of what I said. But, I know what you meant, dispite it being very badly worded. The Military does have a new type of dumbed down "turn it into a parking lott!" type of attitude, which I have seen in many video's and also heard from people who were out there in the middle east last year. It's a fully FAIR point when I say....All of the people from my old school who went into the army were stupid kids who missed their exams. I'm not saying ALL - but a moderate percentage of troops.

I like the Internet but this is TOO MUCH computer love.....kicked off of his favourite forum....oh dear... http://208.116.9.205/10/graphics/homemov/home_movies_kicked_off_forum.wmv Listen to his sorry sobbing....makes me want to slap him.

Stuck in Iraq Kurt Nimmo | November 1 2006 John “Skull and Bones” Kerry, who would have sent an additional 40,000 soldiers into the Iraqi meat grinder, that is if the Diebold voting machines had flipped in his favor back in 2004, “told some California students to do well in school lest they ‘get stuck in Iraq.’” Neocon Republicans, of course, immediately went ballistic, demanding Kerry apologize for telling the truth. “Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who’ve given their lives in this. This is an absolute insult,” carped Tony Snow Job, Bush’s corporate media representative standing in as press secretary. Next up, the disgusting criminal from Arizona, John McCain, who recently suggested sending 20,000 or more soldiers to Iraq. McCain said Kerry “owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country’s call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education.” House Speaker Dennis Hastert, effectively the overseer of Pervert Central on the Potomac, said, “Our soldiers risk their lives in the face of grave dangers on the battlefield, and no one who chooses to courageously and selflessly defend our country can be considered ‘uneducated.’” Rather, we can consider them chumps, having fallen for the lies told by scurrilous recruiters, allowed to prowl strip malls and high schools in search of fresh meat for the neocon war, promised to last a century or more. Of course, we are never told precisely why these poor saps are “serving” in Iraq. It was originally said the neocons invaded to get rid of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, threatening every civilized person on the planet, especially easily bamboozled Americans, and when this turned out to be an obvious farce, as more than a few of us said months before the invasion, the neocons said the invasion was intended to topple Saddam and deliver democracy to benighted Arabs, never mind they are not interested in our McDonaldized version of democracy (or rather mindless consumerism), and the situation in Iraq presently verges on violent chaos, not democracy. Now we are told the U.S. military is in Iraq to fight terrorism, lest we fight it here on Main Street, a facile explanation so absurd as it hardly warrants comment. Suffice it to say any terrorism in Iraq was created by the invasion and occupation. Naturally, the unitary decider, now effectively dictator, had to throw in his two cents. “Our troops did not enlist because they did not study hard in school or do their homework,” Bush said while attempting to get GOP neocons re-elected, or maybe re-selected via Sequoia. “The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots.” No, they joined the “volunteer” (read: poverty draft) military because it was that or work at McDonalds or Walmart, as all the higher paying factory jobs were long ago shipped to Mexico and then over to the giant slave plantation China, thanks to NAFTA and CAFTA. Predatory recruiters invariably sell enlistment as a way to get an education, even though statistics show that only %15 of recruits go on to get four year degrees. As usual, flop-flop Kerry didn’t stand by his comment, instead characterizing it as a “botched joke about the president and the president’s people, not about the troops … and they know that’s what I was talking about.” Actually, few know what Kerry “was talking about,” as they are not paying attention. John Forbes Kerry is yet another rich Yalie, supported during the 2004 “election” by mega-corporations such as Microsoft and the wealthy investment class exemplified by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. In essence, the “uneducated” stuck in Iraq, as anybody with a lick of smarts understands the real premise of the invasion and occupation (domesticating Arabs and Muslims), are expendable, as the lower classes always are to the predatory elite.

People need to realise that this (kerry's comments) were obviously aimed at the way the current administration is picking and informing the troops.....and the media and the Bush administration are jumping on the "You are hurting the troops" bandwagon. The media and the Bush gang 'purposely forget' the most disgusting disrespect of the troops and their families...which is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh4U-Tbqbx4 Laugh it up George, that's right. I'll second what many others have said...."What and arogant C**T!"

US issues Lebanon 'plot' warning The United States has said there is "mounting evidence" that Syria, Iran and Hezbollah are planning to topple the Lebanese government. The White House said Syria hoped to stop the formation of an international tribunal to try suspects in the killing of former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri. Spokesman Tony Snow said any attempt to destabilise the Lebanese government would violate UN resolutions. A UN team has been investigating who was behind Mr Hariri's death in 2005. Hezbollah demand The BBC News website's world affairs correspondent Paul Reynolds says the White House statement appears to result from the tense situation in Lebanon, where Hezbollah is demanding one third of cabinet seats, thereby giving it a veto over decisions. Such a veto would enable it to block approval of the international tribunal to try suspects in Mr Hariri's assassination, our correspondent says. The Hezbollah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, has threatened street demonstrations in support of his demand. The US is concerned that this instability could result in the fall of the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. The statement also casts doubt on any willingness by the Bush administration to consider Syria and Iran as potential partners over the future of Iraq, an idea that the Baker commission on Iraq is expected to suggest, our correspondent adds. Hariri tribunal The White House said it was "increasingly concerned by mounting evidence that the Syrian and Iranian government, Hezbollah, and their Lebanese allies are preparing plans to topple Lebanon's democratically-elected government. "There are indications that one goal of the Syrian plan is to prevent the current Lebanese government from approving the statute for an international tribunal that would try those accused of involvement in former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's assassination," the statement continued. In March, the security council approved the formation of a international tribunal that would try those accused of involvement in the murder of Mr Hariri. The UN sent a draft plan for the tribunal to Lebanese authorities on 21 October but it has yet to be approved of by Lebanon's cabinet and parliament or by the UN Security Council. A leading anti-Syrian legislator, Walid Jumblatt, has pushed for US support for the tribunal. "If [Lebanese President Emile] Lahoud and Syria's allies in Lebanon don't want the international court, this issue will become dangerous," AFP news agency quoted Mr Jumblatt as saying. Rafik Hariri, a self-made billionaire, was killed on 14 February 2005, along with 20 others in a massive blast on Beirut's seafront. UN investigators said in September they had found new evidence that he was probably killed by a suicide bomber. The assassination was widely blamed on Syria, but Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has repeatedly denied that his country had anything to do with the murder. BBC.co.uk/news Oh no, what's this.

Like switching Bush for Cheney, but even worse.

The more people who know about what's happening the better chance there can be 'something' done. It also helps people to see what a low, dirty and disgusting government they have.

Why can't a post something about the Israeli military's use of uranium-enriched phosphorous bombs? It's now 'bashing' is it? Ok, well then I'll just ignore everything which I think it wrong from now on because it's 'bashing'. What are you thinking!?!? ...

RNC Accepted Political Contributions From Gay Porn King? Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo | October 30 2006 Last week, you'll remember, the RNC, headed by Ken Mehlman, was running that race-baiting 'bimbo' ad against Rep. Harold Ford (D) down in Tennessee. One of the barbs in that ad was the claim that Ford had taken political contributions from "porn movie producers." But it seems there is plenty of porn movie producer money to go around. It turns out that the Republican National Committee is a regular recipient of political contributions from Nicholas T. Boyias, the owner and CEO of Marina Pacific Distributors, one of the largest producers and distributors of gay porn in the United States. This recent article on Marina Pacific's new marketing campaign form XBiz, a porn industry trade sheet, notes that, in addition to producing its own material, the "company acts as a distribution house to hundreds of lines, mostly gay, 40 of which can be purchased only through MPD." The company actually seems to be a trendsetter in the industry. As Boyias recently noted, "We have always modeled ourselves after a Fortune-style company. They are the models of exceptional customer service. We have formed strategic alliances with our vendors and customers alike, offering them tools and marketing to assist them in succeeding with their business models. Our one-on-one interpersonal relationships have never been duplicated in the distribution industry." Some recent releases include "Fire in the Hole", "Flesh and Boners", even a "Velvet Mafia" series. FEC.gov lists Boyias as contributing to the RNC three times in 2004 and two times in 2005. The NRCC got a little too. But only $250. The FEC records list Boyias as either "self employed" or as owner and CEO of NTB Inc. But the California Secretary of State's website lists Boyias' NTB, Inc as located at 7077 Vineland Ave, which turns out to be the same address where Marina Pacific is located. So I'm pretty sure we're dealing with the same guy. So, Ken Mehlman, for porn producer money before he was against it, I guess. (ed.note: Let me say, for the record, that I consider pornography not only a legal but a morally unobjectionable product. People in that industry have as much right to participate in the political process as anyone else. And it's difficult for the head of a political committee or a candidate in a political campaign to know the background of every contributor. But hypocrisy blows. And on this issue, as on others, Ken Mehlman's a hypocrite.)

Cheney: Insurgents 'very sensitive' to upcoming election Raw Story | October 30 2006 In an interview with Fox News' Neil Cavuto, Vice President Dick Cheney has said that an upswing in insurgent attacks is meant to swing the U.S. elections. A transcript of the relevant exchange follows: # CAVUTO: Do you suspect that these insurgent attacks are timed to influence our midterm elections? VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: That's my belief. I think they are, very, very cognizant of our schedule, if you will. They also -- you've got to remember what the strategy is of the terrorists. They specifically can't beat us in a stand-up fight. They never have. But whether it's al Qaeda or the other elements that are active in Iraq, they are betting on the proposition they can break the will of the American people. They think we won't have the stomach for the fight long-term. Osama bin Laden says as much. He talks about this. And in fact, their belief is that the same thing will happen here that happened in Beirut in 1983, or Somalia in 1993, when after we lost a number of people, then we packed it in and came home. The thing that's different, of course, is 9/11. And there may have been a time when we'd be safe behind our oceans in the past, but that pretty well went by the boards on 9/11. And since then, we clearly have to be engaged. We've got to be active. We've got to prosecute the global war on terror. We've been able to defend the country successfully for five years now, have not had other attacks against the U.S., although they've tried. But that's primarily because we've gone on offense. We've put in place some very robust measures here at home to protect the country, as well as taking the fight to the enemy overseas. CAVUTO: Do you think, though, that the insurgents are better at these polls than even we are, that they are reading them and seeing frustration growing with the war, and regardless of the good economy, saying, let's keep up the attacks, let's keep up the pressure? CHENEY: It's my belief that they're very sensitive of the fact that we've got an election scheduled, and they can get on the websites like anybody else. There isn't anything that's on the Internet that's not accessible to them. They're on it all the time. They're very sophisticated users of it. And I do believe that that's a part of it. I think we've also seen, of course, a higher level of violence because of Ramadan. Traditionally, there's a spike about this time of year in terms of level of activity. But again, I come back to the proposition, they know that the way they win is if they can, in fact, force America to withdraw on the basis that we aren't going to stay and finish the job, their basic proposition that they can break the will of the American people. That's what they believe. And that's what they're trying to do.
