Neocon Artists are brainwashing Giuliani the drag queen with video

Get a clue!

The neoconartists are at it again....now that empty-headed Bush is on auto pilot for the remainder of his term, and it doesn't look like we're invading Iran anytime soon, the bloodsuckers need a new victim - and Rudy's it! Watch for tons of hate mongering to begin ooozing from this cross-dresser - and a major contempt for anything resembling the religious right. The only thing they're useful for is their desire to bring the end of days on by human events, not by God's hand. These losers do NOT have America's best interest in mind. Buyer beware!



Oct. 15, 2007 issue - Neocons can't help but slink around Washington, D.C. The Iraq War has given the neoconservatives—who favor the assertive use of American power abroad to spread American values—something of a bad name, and several of the Republican candidates seem less than eager to hire them as advisers. But Rudy Giuliani apparently never got that memo. One of the top foreign-policy consultants to the leading GOP candidate is Norman Podhoretz, a founding father of the neocon movement....Among the core consultants surrounding Giuliani: Martin Kramer, who has led an attack on U.S. Middle Eastern scholars since 9/11 for being soft on terrorism; Stephen Rosen, a hawkish professor at Harvard who advocates major new spending on defense and is close to prominent neoconservative Bill Kristol; former Wisconsin senator Bob Kasten, who often sided with the neocons during the Reagan era and was an untiring supporter of aid to Israel, and Daniel Pipes, who has advocated for the racial profiling of Muslim Americans. (He's argued that the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was not the moral offense it's been portrayed as, though he doesn't say Muslims should suffer the same.)

US to sell $20b in arms to the Saudis

Get a clue.

Let's get this straight...the 9/11 hijackers were mostly....SAUDI. Bin Laden is.......SAUDI. The madrassas are mostly.....SAUDI.

But that's not going to deter the Bush admin-backed arms industry from selling a $hitload of weapons to these guys. After all, they still own the oil....that is until the Iraqi embassy and permanent bases are complete.

Administration officials remain concerned, however, that the package could draw opposition from Saudi critics in Congress, which is to be notified formally about the deal this autumn, the newspaper said.

The State Department and the White House had no comment on the Times' article, and a Pentagon spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.

Assurances from the Saudis about being more supportive in Iraq were not sought by the administration as part of the deal, U.S. officials told the newspaper.

The Times said officials described the plan as intended to bolster Gulf countries' militaries in a bid to contain Iran's growing strength in the region, as well as to demonstrate Washington's commitment to its Arab allies.

Soldiers: troop surge as a lost cause

Who's sorry now?

Pretty much everyone involved in this stinker. First off, we got the bait and switch on the surge...it's going to be MUCH BIGGER than we were told. Second, what ever happened to "listening to the generals and the troops"? Oh, right, that's only if they say what GWB wants to hear.

MN Almost every foot soldier interviewed during a week of patrols on the streets and alleys of east Baghdad said that Bush's plan would halt the bloodshed only temporarily. The soldiers cited a variety of reasons, including incompetence or corruption among Iraqi troops, the complexities of Iraq's sectarian violence and the lack of Iraqi public support, a cornerstone of counterinsurgency warfare.

Who's NOT sorry now?
Pretty much everyone involved in this "enterprise" (except the fighting forces and the civilians).

We are on record as reminding all of our readers that we think GWB and his neo-conartist cronies think everything's going as planned. There will be enough troops in Iraq to: 1) finish building the mega bases; 2) guard the oil reserves; 3) be in position to attack Iran. Also, the region is thrown into chaos, which is what the Likud party and the neo-conartists want....this enables their agenda to move forward as planned. Those rats.

Bush's ratings fall to new low

Who's the worst President in the World now?

That just may be President GW Bush, at least in terms of popularity. His poll numbers are so low, they can't go much lower.

Does he care? Well, we believe that Bush is either REALLLLY dumb, or REALLLLY smart. The dumb GWB is pictured totally incompetent, waiting for the Rapture, out of it, stupid and got us in the Iraq mess and doesn't have a clue how to get out of it.

Or is he amazingly SMART? Surrounded by smart people who have all been executing in the most disciplined manner the following: Security and Prosperity Plan to avoid the immigration problem and the low birth rate problem by forming a North American Union (oh, and form a Christian block); Iraq will secure the 2nd richest oil reserves for GWB and his oil cronies (Condi, Cheney, Rummy, et al) - put permanent bases in the region, continue to fight Israel's wars, enter Iran and put the entire region into dissary ON PURPOSE in order to gain more oil revenues when it all settles, etc. And all that domestic spying stuff - that's to do what Bill Kritsol, who we believe is dangerous to America, said on Sunday Fox News Sunday - The Dems and others who don't like the SURGE should just STFU.

Expect the SOTU to offer a couple of bones to distract all while the war drums beat on - healthcare and the environment. He doesn't mean any of it - it's just a tactic to get everyone talking about ANYTHING BUT Iraq/Iran while the troops get positioned for the upcoming invasion (?!?) in April 2007.

In fact, Kristol said that 2007 will be very bloody. Being King Poo-Bah neoconartist, he must know something we don't know.

Hmmmmmm, which is it?

Bush needs Malaki; Malaki needs Bush

Baker report "too litle too late...15 Brigades are to stand down...the Iraqi's will be able to perform their own security duties in June 2007.

Whatever. Bush and Malaki are in this together (how much oil $$$ is being exchanged between them?)

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Thursday he believed Iraqi forces would be ready by June 2007 to take full control of security in Iraq, an issue on which he pressed President Bush during their meeting in Amman, Jordan. In making the argument that his military and police could handle security in the country, al-Maliki has routinely said the force could do the job within six months

They lied their way into Iraq. Now they are trying to lie their way out

Great article from The Guardian in the UK. Especially errie is the comparison to Vietnam Bush made in Hanaoi on his recent visit (Wait. What does GW know about Vietnam? He wasn't there...)

Guardian: ...Ten days ago, during a visit to Hanoi, Bush was asked whether Vietnam offered any lessons. He said: "We tend to want there to be instant success in the world, and the task in Iraq is going to take a while ... We'll succeed unless we quit."

In other words, the problem with Vietnam was not that the US invaded a sovereign country, bombed it to shreds, committed innumerable atrocities, murdered more than 500,000 Vietnamese - more than half of whom were civilians - and lost about 58,000 American servicemen. The problem with Vietnam was that they lost. And the reason they lost was not because they could neither sustain domestic support nor muster sufficient local support for their invasion, nor that their military was ill equipped for guerrilla warfare. They lost because it takes a while to complete such a tricky job, and the American public got bored.

Kissinger says its over, Blair says it's a disaster

Who's sorry now?

Anyone listening to old man Kissinger? We guess the best thing is that IF he still has the weight that is attributed to him, he's now stating the obvious and hopefully this is the beginning of the end. Ya Think?

WaPo LONDON -- Military victory is no longer possible in Iraq, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.In a wide ranging interview on British Broadcasting Corp. television, Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq, saying the U.S. government must enter into dialogue with Iraq's regional neighbors _ including Iran _ if any progress is to be made in the region....

BB Downing Street moved swiftly to play down an apparent admission by British Prime Minister Tony Blair that the invasion of Iraq had been a "disaster," labelling his comments a "slip of the tongue." In an interview Friday on Al-Jazeera's new English-language channel, broadcaster Sir David Frost suggested that the 2003 US-led and British-backed invasion had "so far been pretty much of a disaster."

Contractors fill the vacuum and win wars

On the day it's announced that Saddam will be hanged, we thought it might be a good idea to revisit a terrific new book, License to Kill, by Robert Pelton. We posted about this last month, highlighting the Contractor's Creed (gotta love it!).

Here's a lengthy book review on what the contractors do, who they are, how the work with the CIA, etc.

AT...While some may still not have an interest in understanding the brave new world of private military and security contracting, they can no longer claim they lack the means. If the US intelligence establishment could connect dots as well as Pelton, Osama bin Laden would have been captured years ago.

"The Good Ship Neocon is Going Down"

Let's hope so. Good article here on how Iraq might be the tipping point that PROVES that the flights-of-fantasy by the worst of the worst NeoConArtists is pure CRAP. Anyway, aren't Irving Kristol and the NeoConArtists old communist lefties who support the Likud party no matter what?

Timesonline: "HARK — CAN YOU hear it? Borne on the wind, can you hear the sounds of construction — of hammers hammering and woodsaws sawing? And do you detect a note of panic? I do. The good ship Neocon is going down. She has struck the Iraqi rocks, the engine room is awash, and on the deck in anxious pursuit of something to float them away is a curious assembly.

Her Majesty’s Brigade of Neocon Columnists and Leader Writers mingles with much of the elite of British politics. The new Labour Cabinet and its courtiers and most of the Opposition’s front bench rub shoulders with Fleet Street’s finest. Is that David Aaronovitch I see, hammer in hand? Jack Straw is handing him the nails. There’s Michael Gove scribbling notes while Danny Finkelstein rips a blank sheet from a discarded do-it-yourself regime change manual, and ponders a hastily sketched design. Willie Shawcross has the saw and Tim Hames and Margaret Beckett are ripping planks from the deck. Gordon Brown skulks behind the mast as those unlikely bedfellows, Matthew d’Ancona, of The Spectator, and Johann Hari, of The Independent, assemble what timber they can find.

The US is Arrogant, Stupid

Who's speaking their mind now?

That would be Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department. Think this is more State Department vs the DOD? Ah, yeah....

TS:
BAGHDAD - A senior U.S. diplomat said the United States had shown “arrogance” and “stupidity” in Iraq but was now ready to talk with any group except Al Qaeda in Iraq to facilitate national reconciliation.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera television aired late Saturday, Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department offered an unusually candid assessment of America’s war in Iraq.

“We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because, undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States in Iraq,” he said.

2003 - The Lost Year in Iraq - PBS

We screened this recently - what a compelling piece of work!

The Lost Year in Iraq begins on April 9, 2003, as American troops help a crowd of Iraqis topple a statue of Saddam Hussein. In Washington there was celebration, but in Baghdad the looting was beginning. Jay Garner, the retired general picked by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to lead reconstruction, was forced to wait in Kuwait for authorization to enter Iraq. He and his team had arrived from Washington without computers, telephones or a plan. "Everybody was focused on the war; they were focused on regime change," Garner tells FRONTLINE. "That took all of their energy. I wasn't the central focus." On the day Garner finally arrived in Baghdad, he received a phone call from Rumsfeld: He was being replaced by L. Paul Bremer.

6 in 10 Iraqis want Americans blown up

Get a clue!

This is a stunning report about how the Iraqi's really feel about the so-called help they've been getting from Americans. They want us dead. They don't want our help.

Of course, the Neoconartists and the Bushies need to ignore this. They are in Iraq for OIL. And they plan to stay in Iraq for OIL. In fact, back in August, 2006, Ken Melhman, the RNC Chairman said this on Meet The Press about why we needed to "stay the course". "...Imagine a failed state on the second largest oil reserves in the world." That's one of the most honest statements made by the GOP and just about sums it all up.

The Iraqi's know this. In fact, neo conartist Chalabi is in on it! He was named Minister of Oil in December 2005. That's why THREE-FOURTHS of the Iraqi's polled believe the US plans to keep military bases in Iraq permanently. They're right. We do.

"The poll, done for University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes, found:
_Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents.
_About 61 percent approved of the attacks — up from 47 percent in January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among Shiite Iraqis.
_An overwhelmingly negative opinion of terror chief bin Laden and more than half, 57 percent, disapproving of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
_Three-fourths say they think the U.S. plans to keep military bases in Iraq permanently.
_A majority of Iraqis, 72 percent, say they think Iraq will be one state five years from now. Shiite Iraqis were most likely to feel that way, though a majority of Sunnis and Kurds also believed that would be the case."
