Bush's "Emergency" War Request Filled With Nonessential Spending

I can't even finish reading that post.
Will the Dems run out a head and pave the way again- YES. I'm so disgusted by these two parties, I'm becoming an Anarchist with a really bad attitude. I've gotten to the point I pray THEIR ANTICHRIST is real so that means humanity may actually bre saved. Frankly I don't want to meet their Jealous and vengeful god (sounds evil to me). Bushco agenda is fertilizing more than Anti Bush recruitment, they're THE poster children for all oppressive regimes. King George did it- why can't I? They're leading by example- how to nullify the masses by dehumanizing & devalueing. What or who the Anti Christ is just a matter of perspective. I don DICK with this 'crown' as the AntiChrist and all the rest his minions.Spooky but a re-evaluating Atheist is seeing relevance in that 7 years under the antichrists reign. but also believe many things are merely self fulfilling prophecies of delusional or corrupt individuals- not divinely pre ordained.

Violence in Iraq drops sharply: Ministry
Mon Oct 22, 2007 1:01pm EDT

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Violence in Iraq has dropped by 70 percent since the end of June, when U.S. forces completed their build-up of 30,000 extra troops to stabilize the war-torn country, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.

I guess there is more money to be made from killing kids in Iraq than from saving kids in America.

Here is a chance for dems to get one in. Attach the child insurance program to this. Tell George, "Here it is George, your money for your little "self amusement war", and a chance for you to go back and do the right thing for the nations' uninsured children." Since the dems will cave like the cowards they are and give him the war money anyway, they might as well try and get something they want as well. They should make it clear to the chimp in chief that this is the only way and this is the only bill headed to his desk. Drop it all on his lap and say take it or leave it.

i hope the huffington post will publish the names of every member of congress who votes to give bush this money, that way the american public will know who puts the bush administration above the wishes of the people who put them in office. we will then be able to make our will be felt at the next election

Not apropos of this thread but not sure this will find it's way here otherwise.

Public Service Announcement for those new to Huffington, and really, any left wing blog.

In order to fit in you will at some point read a headline like this one and you'll instinctively know it's BS.
You don't have to believe it or actually read the story but you will be expected to accept it and repeat it based on the headline alone.
If you do read it, don't expect to see the headline in the story. That's not what it's there for.
But it's better if you don't read the story anyway because it might come from places like Media Matters or Truth Out.
They never print the truth so just accept it.
If by accident you do read it, don't dare question it. That's just not done.
Furthermore, you will be expected to show indignation and explode with hatred using the nastiest language and name word play you can think of.
Soon you will find that you're not happy unless you have made yourself miserable.
You'll also find your ability to reason has atrophied and people will begin to avoid you.
Then you know you've arrived.

This PSA will be repeated as necessary.

'UK special forces operating in Iran'
By JPOST.COM STAFF

British special forces have carried out several operations inside Iran in recent months in an attempt to prevent the Revolutionary Guard's Al-Quds force from shipping weapons to Iraq, the Sunday Times reported.

The British and Australian SAS forces are reportedly working with American special forces to patrol the border to prevent weapons - including surface-to-air missiles and parts for IEDs (improvised explosive devices) - from reaching the hands of Iraqi insurgents.

This administration's war mentality is a put-on. This budget-busting 'national security' spending is a well-rehearsed scam. 9/11 created an abrupt change in national spending priorities. In particular, DEFENSE spending! Emergencies seem to be especially good for the well-connected 'faithful' cronies of this administration. Not coincidently, 9/11 certainly was a 'blessing' for Big Defense.

Our taxes pay for weapons that endanger US citizens

(Below are excerpts from "Nukes Over America: Just a Stupid Mistake. Sure it is," by Dave Lindorff, Oct. 21, 2007.)


Put simply, [on August 29-30] six 150-kiloton [nuclear] warheads were improperly attached to six Advanced Cruise Missiles, all loaded onto a wing launch pod, and then mounted on the wing of a B-52 H Stratofortress at Minot, along with six similar missiles with dummy warheads, which were loaded onto a launch pod on the plane"s other wing, and all 12 were improperly and illegally flown across the country to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

¦

How can it be that Air Force ground crew people at Barksdale could spot the nukes in a flash while nobody at Minot"not the workers who mounted the warheads on the missiles in the heavily guarded bunker, not the guards who are supposed to guard those weapons with their lives and prevent any unauthorized removal from the bunkers, not the ground crew that loaded them onto the plane, and not the pilot and crew of the bomber, who are supposed to check every missile before they take off"noticed they were nuclear warheads?

¦

What we do know is that for 36 hours, six nuclear warheads went missing. Nobody at the Pentagon in authority knew they were gone or where they were. And when they were discovered, the initial Pentagon response was to cover it all up. The only reason we know about this incident is that three Air Force officers became whistle-blowers and contacted a reporter at Military Times, a private newspaper trusted by and popular with the rank-and-file military.

And what we know is that this couldn"t have been what the Air Force, six weeks and one "investigation" late, is calling a "mistake."

Violence down 70 percent since troop surge
BY: Aseel Kami, Reuters
10/23/2007


BAGHDAD " Violence in Iraq has dropped by 70 percent since the end of June, when U.S. forces completed their buildup of 30,000 extra troops, the Interior Ministry said yesterday.

The ministry released the new figures as bomb blasts in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul killed five persons, and six gunmen died in clashes with police in the city of Karbala, southwest of the capital.

Al Qaeda, meanwhile, released a new audiotape in which a voice identified as that of Osama bin Laden called on Iraq"s various insurgent factions to unite.

Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf told reporters yesterday there had been a 70 percent reduction in violence across Iraq in the three months from July to September, compared with the previous quarter.

In Baghdad, considered the epicenter of the violence because of its mix of Shi"ites and Sunni Arabs, car bombs have decreased by 67 percent and roadside bombs by 40 percent, he said. There has been a 28 percent drop in the number of bodies found dumped in the capital"s streets.

In Anbar province, a former insurgent hotbed where Sunni Arab tribes have joined U.S. forces against al Qaeda, there has been an 82 percent drop in violent deaths.

Data from the Health, Interior and Defense ministries in September showed a 50 percent drop in civilian deaths across the country from August, when 1,773 fatalities were recorded.

The dropoff in violence may have prompted the latest bin Laden tape, which warned that divisions between insurgent groups only helped the enemy.

"The interest of the Islamic nation surpasses that of a group . . . the interest of the [Islamic] nation is more important than that of a state," said the recording aired on Al Jazeera television.

"The strength of faith is in the strength of the bond between Muslims and not that of a tribe, nationalism or an organization," said the voice, which sounded like that in previous bin Laden recordings.
