War for Sale, inquire within

As we get closer to Fall, the warm days of Summer are cooling and the leaves are starting to change. Time to roll out the new product, it's a war sale people. Yep,the same crew who thought it was a great idea to invade and occupy Iraq are now ready sell more of the same. I just happened to check out Hardball the night Ari Fleischer came calling. Pitching the idea that, we need to get more young American chewed up to hold the oil production down, and provide security for the private contractors who are bilking the taxpayers. Would have been nice if Ari, even knew the name of the soldier(a double amputee) he was using as a prop in flashy new ad. What the hell he's just one of the little people. I wonder where Freedom Watch, a 501 that popped out of the ether, managed to come up with fifteen million dollars. They don't even have a web site to solicit funds.
If that wasn't slimy and snake oil salesman enough for ya, sit tight kiddies there's more. Enter Haley Barbour and the the law firm of Barbour,Griffith and Rogers. Their lobbying work includes, pushing for the ouster of Nouri al-Maliki(American installed; I mean elected president of Iraq) and replacing him with Ayad two guns Allawi. For everyone who may have forgotten, this is the guy who shot six insurgents in a Baghdad police station in the presents of Iraqi and American soldiers. Funny but, I thought the President made it clear that anyone involved with trying to undermine the present Iraq government, would have their assets frozen. This firm shouldn't be hard to find Mr.Bush you probably have Haley on speed dial. I pray that cooler heads will prevail, and hopefully this Country can survive the remainder of The Bush Crime Families reign.

Send Away the Clowns

A sad day has come to the Bush administration, Karl Rove is leaving. I think history will not look kindly on Karl. The win at all cost mentality will probably cost the Republican Party a generation of voters. If you run political campaigns like a shell game, you wind up making the electorate cynical and pretty hard to fool. That is the place the present Republican Party finds itself in, the idea well is dry. The party of good money managers and limited government, spawned the Department of Homeland Security, and the occupation of the country of Iraq. The idea of cutting taxes is sound policy, provided that you don’t increase government spending. They have in the short span of twelve years managed to put a birth tax of almost twenty thousand dollars on every child born in America for the foreseeable future.
The story coming to light in the press, regarding the report that Gen. David Petraeus was scheduled to deliver to congress in September, is troubling to say the least. While the Iraq War was not Karl Rove’s idea, he was the pitch man. The thought of King George the witless editing and delivering a report from a General in the field should be unacceptable. The leadership in the House, Senate as well as the American people must receive Gen. Petraeus's report under oath before the Senate Armed Services committee. The deceitful legacy of this administration,demands draconian oversight from the peoples representatives in Washington. The American people have grown tired of the endless spin. The sham press conferences crafted by the Rove machine, and delivered by Tony Snow. If the President is unwilling to bring forth a plan that pays for this mess, and outlines an exit strategy. Then Congress should refuse to bring anymore legislation forward, to continue the occupation of Iraq. The time for collegiality came and went long ago. President Bush and the minority leadership in Congress seem quite content to pave the path to the 08 elections with the bloody results of their mismanagement.
