Quite a striking blog; found this one via Doc Baghdad Burning We have 9/11’s on a monthly basis. Each and every Iraqi person who dies with a bullet, a missile, a grenade, under torture, accidentally- they all have families and friends and people who care.

Daily Kos So what does the Air Force Times have to say about Bush’s military record? From most accounts, Bush appears to have received preferential treatment to get into the Air National Guard and avoid the draft after he graduated from Yale University in 1968. He was initially regarded as a good pilot, but his performance faded over his final Continue Reading

Is there any more reason, Bush supporters, to continue to “follow” the leading of this manipulating, twisting, liar whose lack of respect for YOU extends so far as to believe that you hear him say this and take him at his word, without actually CHECKING what Kerry ACTUALLY said?

Sounds like an interesting book: Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: September 19, 2004 – September 25, 2004 Archives And in our current moment, when TR and Wilson loom so large in our historical imagination and disfigured latter-day versions of them direct our nation’s affairs, it is an instructive examination of how the thirst for domination can masquerade as Continue Reading

Josh points out: Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: September 19, 2004 – September 25, 2004 Archives It’s revealing — and the Kerry campaign should make something of it — that whenever Kerry attacks Bush’s management of the war all the Bush team can do is attack the alleged contradictions in Kerry’s position on the war. That may work Continue Reading

Progressive Christians Uniting::Chronicles of Our Sins & Follies In economic life, “market fundamentalism”-an idolatrous deference to the prerogatives of wealth and the unfettered pursuit of profits-threatens to eclipse ancient and priceless concepts of the common good and mutual accountability.

Antiwar Then, Antiwar Now The Bush administration’s new doctrine, Kennedy said, ”asserts that global realities now legitimize preventive war and make it a strategic necessity. The document openly contemplates preventive attacks against groups or states, even absent the threat of imminent attack I strongly oppose any such extreme doctrine.” The second feature of Bush’s radical new approach that Kennedy lambasted Continue Reading

James Carroll, via CommonDreams.org: The President’s Nuclear Threat The Bush strategy claims to be at the service of democracy, but what Bush fails to grasp is that you can’t have democratic nations while repudiating democratic values among nations. The Non-Proliferation Treaty worked because it embodied the idea that nations, even if unequal in power or treasure, are mutually accountable, devoted Continue Reading

What Is Bush Hiding? (washingtonpost.com) most important, there is only one reason the story about Bush’s choices during the Vietnam years persists. It’s because the president won’t give detailed answers to the direct questions posed by the Times story and other responsible media organizations, including the Boston Globe. Their questions never depended on the discredited CBS documents. Exactly. So, Mr. Continue Reading

I read this just after I posted the quote in the previous post. This one’s a great call to step up and be heard. Eric’s Tasty Morsels of Thought – Palast: U.S. news meda 5 years behind This is not a story about Dan Rather. The white millionaire celebrity can defend himself without my help. This is really a story Continue Reading

Eric posted this one, which is pointing us to look at the story; to KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL. The docs only supported a much wider body of evidence. Bush is a priveleged, chicken-shit, spoiled, greedy corrupt neocon who needs to be OUT OF THERE, along with his jackal friends, so we can get on with the business of Continue Reading
