This is the straw the broke the camel's back! How can someone tell such a bold faced lie and expect history to give him a good grade?

NEVER FORGET AMERICA, and teach your children well!

Stay the course in Iraq? What course?



If Iraq is the central front for the war on terror, it's only because the war there has made it so.
By Daniel Schorr


WASHINGTON – President Bush likes to say he will stay the course in Iraq. The question is: What course?


Is it the course that has so far cost some 2,700 American lives, 100 Iraqi lives a day, and an estimated expenditure of $300 billion so far?

Is it the course, which, according to a leaked consensus estimate of the US intelligence community, has made Iraq a primary recruitment vehicle for the next generation of violent extremists and weakened the global fight against terrorism?

The president has said that Iraq is the central battleground in the war against terrorism. But the intelligence agencies suggest that if this is so, it is only because the war has made it so.

Intelligence czar John Negroponte puts it delicately when he says that there have been some notable successes, but that there is still much to be done in the war against terrorism.

But the intelligence estimate seems to agree with Osama bin Laden, who said on a videotape released last January that the number of fighters was increasing and Iraq had become "a point of attraction and recruitment."

In New York last week, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani told Newsweek that Mr. Bush assured him that he would continue to support the Iraqi people and remain in Iraq until the Iraqis ask him to leave.

In public, Bush stands his ground adamantly. But in private, we learn from The Washington Post, he is sometimes given to tears when he meets with a war widow. In one case, a woman met in private with the president and broke into tears as she talked of her two fatherless children. Bush kept repeating, "I am so sorry for your loss." At one point his eyes welled up. But when she pleaded with him to bring the troops home, he said only, "We see things differently."

As of now, he is staying the course.

U.S. 'Will Stay the Course' in Iraq, Bush Says
By Casie Vinall
Special to American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 10, 2003 – The United States "will stay the course" in Iraq, President Bush said today in Gaberone, Botswana, following a meeting with President Festus Gontebanye Mogae.

Commending Mogae on his service and leadership, Bush said he appreciates his "commitment to democracy and freedom, to rule of law and transparency."

"We've got a great friend in the war on terror," Bush said. "We both understand that we must work together to share intelligence, to cut off money, to forever deny terrorists a chance to plot and plan and hurt those of us who love freedom."

The U.S. president noted that Ambassador Jerry Bremer, the American civil administrator in Iraq, reports that "the vast majority of Iraqi citizens are thrilled that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power." However, a "security issue" remains, and it is something that must be dealt with "person by person."

"We're going to have to remain tough," Bush said.

Involving the Iraqi people in the reconstruction effort is essential, he said. "The more involved the Iraqi citizens become in securing their own infrastructure and the more involved Iraqi citizens are in the transitional government, the more likely it is the average citizen will understand that, once again, the apologists for Saddam Hussein are bringing misery on their country."

As freedom spreads, Bush said, the world will see what Saddam Hussein did to the mentality of the Iraqi people.

"We've discovered torture chambers where people, citizens were tortured just based upon their beliefs," he said. "We've discovered mass graves -- graves for not only men and women, but graves for children. We discovered a prison for children."

Saddam aimed to intimidate the Iraqi people, Bush said, "and slowly, but surely, the people of Iraq are learning the responsibility that comes with being a free society."

Coalition efforts in Iraq have only been underway for a short time, Bush reminded reporters, and it's going to take far longer for people "to recognize the great joys of freedom and the responsibilities that come with freedom.

"We're making steady progress," he said. "A free Iraq will mean a peaceful world. And it's very important for us to stay the course, and we will stay the course."

Above, a link that I got off Huffington Post called

God bless you Mr. Olbermann


It is the video clip of Keith discussing the Dirty Republicans' FEAR and TERROR strategy to win votes. :bat:

Keith also mentioned how back in the 60's Lyndon B. Johnson used that mushroom cloud nuke commercial against Goldwater. I was in highschool then and I can remember it so well. It was really scarey and it worked! Flee.gif

The Republicans are so good at their dirty tricks and sleeze and they have the bucks to do it. :touchdown:

Look at the two pictures at the top of Huffington Post today of Rove and Limbaugh and do you see any similarities in the way that they look. Those two could be brothers. huggles.gif

Also there are addresses to send Keith thank yous on this link.

Thank you Keith!

Actually it makes sense, kind of... doh.gif
