Bush points his finger at Tenet and says, "it was him, he done it." Fine. So now what? We invaded a country and dissolved its government on the basis of faulty intelligence. So who's responsible? George Tenet? What happened to the President of the United States? Is that just an expression now? Why are we in Iraq? Why are our guys getting killed? Somebody answer, please. How come the Republicans in Congress are pooh-pooing this? We were wrong, let's go kill them all anyway, and keep on killing, never mind the facts? Does anyone even care? And what happens when Bush starts ranting about Iran and weapons of mass destruction, as he certainly will? What then? What are we supposed to say, "Are you sure?"

Some great quotes in this recent column from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Highlights:

"As a mother of one of our brave troops in Iraq, may I just say, Mr. President, perhaps you truly do believe in the invincibility of our military; however, the next time you invite attacks on my son, and others, kindly stand in front of our soldiers, rather than hiding behind." —Soldier’s mother quoted in an on-line forum in The Tennessean.

"I am shaking my head in disbelief. When I served in the Army in Europe during World War II, I never heard any military commander—let alone the commander-in-chief—invite enemies to attack U.S. troops." —Press release by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N. J.

"To put it plainly, [Donald] Rumsfeld treats people like crap. Working for him is like working for Leona Helmsley, except that Leona is less self-centered. Unless you are one of his sycophants, equipped with a good set of knee pads and plenty of lip balm, you can expect to be booted down the stairs on a regular basis.... [S] ome senior officers deserve to be treated that way, because that is how they always treated their subordinates. But Rummy does not discriminate between perfumed princes and the real thinkers and leaders." —Military. com columnist William S. Lind on the secretary of defense’s leadership style.

Every time Bush is asked about American soldiers getting killed daily in Iraq, he says one of two things: "We have brought freedom to the Iraqi people, who thanks to us, no longer live in fear of a brutal evil tyrant" and that once having brought down a "cruel and evil regime" our soldiers are there to "maintain stability and enforce the law."
Oh yeah? Since when was that the mission? Notice how Bush stampedes us into war with the promise that Iraq is an imminent nuclear threat to the United States, ready to unleash all the devils of hell on every American within 3 weeks unless we invade immediately, and now our job is suddenly changed, that having found absolutely no WMD and admitting the intelligence used to justify invasion was wrong, now we must "enforce the law" (what law?) and protect Iraqi "freedom" (what freedom? They don't have basic services). Has anyone failed to notice how he utterly switched the base of the argument? How is this going down with the families of the soldiers, to say nothing of the soldiers themselves? And why isn't Congress fulminating about being so completely hornswaggled? What the fuck? At least with Vietnam we had the lie put to us consistently. Here the lie changes day to day. Even putting my own politics aside, I'm trying to imagine myself a complete Bushie, buying into all the arguments, the most I can come up with is the old Pax Americana, that is, we have to be there, we have to take over the Middle East and lay down the iron fist to stop everything from blowing up, but Bush isn't even making that argument. Instead, we're supposed to care all about Iraqi freedom and injustice, and that American soldiers are now Middle East police? Law enforcement has nothing to do with being a soldier -- so now suddenly it does? And what law is he talking about? The law of "I shoot whoever I want"? Because that's the only law I can see right now happening over there, which is more like nature red in tooth and claw than a Pax Americana, or even a simple local government. I just don't know how he can get away with it, our guys are getting completely blown up and Bush just stands there yammering things that don't make any sense. How come our guys are getting blown up? Remind me again? Meanwhile Rumsfeld is saying we'll be there for "as long as it takes." As long as what takes? Why isn't anyone asking this question and demanding a genuine answer? What exactly is the stated mission, other than shifting platitudes about democracy and freedom? Does anyone know? Also, if this is indeed a Pax Americana, it's working really well, isn't it?

As to it's being high school all over again, I had a nightmare four years ago that I woke up and everybody -- the whole country -- was permanently in the eighth grade. My entire adult world had devolved to the eighth-grade mentality. Every aspect of society was being conducted from the emotional level of eighth-grade. It was truly a horror.

It’s your worst nightmare – It’s high school all over again.

In a post below I mention that the “adults are in charge” (sarcastically).

I hear that phrase a lot, basically its conservatives feeling good about the Administration because they are "adults." Unlike the Clinton Administration which consisted of... what? Toddlers?

Adults are not what we have right now. Right now we have a bunch of High Schoolers in charge. And they are taking our whole nation back to high school. A place where integrity and honesty is meaningless, but having the right friends, clothes (or oil fields), and money is all that matters.

And just like high school we have people who think, as they too are in high school, that they are now Adults, but instead what they are are immature, morally vague children in adult bodies.

We have bullies who believe winning is everything. They don't feel bad about the kid getting picked on because they never would associate with that kid anyway. Their worldview is limited to what their friends and parents told them.

We've got George W. whose dad is really important and rich... George is one of the "beautiful people."

We’ve got Karl Rove, who is so insecure he values himself by how much his friend George is valued. He is a ‘wannabe’ protected by the George clique.

We’ve got Rummy and Cheney, plain old-fashioned rich bullies.

And we’ve got Ashcroft who is that weird fundamentalist kid who is always trying to convert you.

And just like in high school every time they bully, lie, and ostracize someone it is motivated by fear and insecurity.

Bush needs his ratings high, and he’ll start a war to keep them high, not only because he wants to get re-elected. He wants all of that so his daddy will love him. George W. Bush deep down does not believe his daddy loves him. Pretty much like high school.

I've been told that one side effect of alcoholism is that is stops the ability to mature emotionally while you are addicted. Basically maturity comes from facing reality, drinking hides reality. From the mid to early sixties until the late eighties Bush accumulated very little wisdom on how to handle stress, disappointment, and reality. Bush drank until he was forty. When Bush won Super Tuesday in the primaries for the 2000 election, he was told by a reporter about how good McCain was for everyone as he brought so much interest into the election, and that he’d brought people to the polls. Bush’s reaction was, “but he didn’t win.” He had no interest in people being involved in the election, or excited about the election, or participating in democracy, no was interested only in winning, disbelieving there was any other point. Bush’s moral clarity is a sign of ignorance.

Bush was a drunk and a failure. He didn’t know what he wanted to do but wanted to prove himself to his Dad, he tried to get into law school, but no one would take him, so he tried to do what his dad did (get into the oil business). He failed. He failed a lot until Dad’s friends gave him a chunk of a baseball team. Then he became President. Then he defeated the guy who “tired to kill” his dad. Maybe now Dad will love him. (I'm not saying George the elder doesn't, I believe he does, but I'm also pretty sure the George the younger does not believe that).

George W. Bush is sad, like much of high school is. Yes, many of us enjoyed high school, I certainly enjoyed some of it, but that was because we were TEENAGERS. We’re in the real world now.

Summer Reading: U.S. report on 9/11 to be 'explosive'

John Lehman, a member of the independent commission, said at a hearing Wednesday: ``There's little doubt that much of the funding of terrorist groups -- whether intentional or unintentional -- is coming from Saudi sources.''

The report will show that top Bush administration officials were warned in the summer of 2001 that the al Qaeda terrorist network had plans to hijack aircraft and launch a ``spectacular attack.''

Why do the Republicans hate our troops?

GOP blocking abolishment of Disabled Veterans Tax

...if a military retiree is judged 100 percent disabled as a consequence of old war wounds or Agent Orange or bone damage from jumping out of airplanes, he would draw a maximum disability payment of $2,300 per month. His retired pay would disappear entirely, under the law.

Curiously, if a former soldier served only a two or four-year tour and was later judged disabled he would draw full disability payments with no reduction for any other payments he might receive from Social Security or a government or private retirement plan.

It is those who served honorably for at least 20 years and sometimes more than 30 years who are subject to the Disabled Veterans Tax.

The long-promised relief is hung up in Congress this summer and looks like it may well die in committee. It is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office that redressing the retirees' grievance would cost the Treasury between $3 billion and $5 billion a year - and the Bush administration has turned thumbs down because they see it as a budget-buster.

Bush's give away to the rich wasn't a budget-buster though, because, you see, they're better Americans than verterans. After all, they're rich.

Letter I just wrote my two Senators. Why not write your own letter:

Improvements to this nations health care, securing social security, investigating manipulation of intelligence, all of these important tasks are for not, if the foundation of our democracy is in question.

It is a difficult task to overcome voter apathy as it is, but it is about to become much more difficult to increase voter turn out when it becomes more widely known that America’s votes can be manipulated, deleted, and changed quite easily, with no one finding out. Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting Program is an article up on the web that is a step-by-step guide to the security flaws of the Diebold voting machines. The article can be viewed here: http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0307/S00065.htm. Since the article appeared web discussion groups have pointed out more (and scarier) flaws. It seems the system is based on Microsoft Access, which is fine as a personal or small business database, but not mission critical applications, because of its security flaws (and problems scaling), one would hope our democracy is considered mission critical.

The issue isn’t the article. The issue is that a few private firms control the voting of much of the nation (and those firms a major Republican donors it should be noted). The auditing of these devices is insufficient. The code is not available for inspection. And in many districts there is no paper trail. Basically the outcome of an election could be based on a mediocre Access developer’s whim.

Both MIT and Caltech have come out with reports denouncing computerized voting as it now stands. For the sake of getting results within 24 hours (rather than 48) we seem to be willing to sacrifice the integrity of our democracy.

Your New Jersey colleague in the House (Representative Holt) has introduced The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003. This is but a step in the right direction, but even this small step is needed to secure our faith in our democracy. Please introduce our support similar legislation in the Senate.

Thanks & regards,

Getting the word out about your favorite candidate. Donating and working for your favorite candidate. Believing your vote counts. All of this is mute if our democracy depends on a Microsoft Access database programmed by Republicans:

A step by Step Guide to Stealing an Election

Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting Program

The manual, also available on the ftp site, tells that the default password in a new installation is "GEMSUSER." Anyone who downloaded and installed GEMS can bypass the passwords in elections. In this examination, we installed GEMS, clicked "new" and made a test election, then closed it and opened the same file in Microsoft Access.

One finds where they store the passwords by clicking the "Operator" table. Anyone can copy an encrypted password from there, go to an election database, and paste it into that. Emphasis added.

Bigger Than Watergate!

April 2002, Johnson County, Kansas - Johnson County’s new Diebold touch screen machines, proclaimed a success on election night, did not work as well as originally believed. Incorrect vote totals were discovered in six races, three of them contested, leaving county election officials scrambling to make sure the unofficial results were accurate. Johnson County Election Commissioner Connie Schmidt checked the machines and found that the computers had under- and over-reported hundreds of votes. “The machines performed terrifically,” said Bob Urosevich, CEO of Diebold Election Systems. “The anomaly showed up on the reporting part.”

The problem, however, was so perplexing that Schmidt asked the Board of Canvassers to order a hand re-count to make sure the results were accurate. Unfortunately, the touch screen machines did away with the ballots, so the only way to do a hand recount is to have the machine print its internal data page by page. Diebold tried to re-create the error in hopes of correcting it. “I wish I had an answer,” Urosevich said. In some cases, vote totals changed dramatically.
...

November 2002, Baldwin County, Alabama - No one at the voting machine company can explain the mystery votes that changed after polling places had closed, flipping the election from the Democratic winner to a Republican in the Alabama governor’s race. “Something happened. I don’t have enough intelligence to say exactly what,” said Mark Kelley of ES&S. Baldwin County results showed that Democrat Don Siegelman earned enough votes to win the state of Alabama. All the observers went home. The next morning, however, 6,300 of Siegelman’s votes inexplicably had disappeared, and the election was handed to Republican Bob Riley. A recount was requested, but denied.

Anyone working in computers will tell you: Don't trust our Freedom to Computers!!!

Don't know much about Representative Holt, but I give him support for this:

White House admits Bush wrong about Iraqi nukes

UPDATE: The rest of this post has since been proven false:

Damn, I hate it when I've been had and I've been had big time.

Today, a White House source I know and trust said visitor logs don't have any record of anyone named Terrance J. Wilkinson ever being present at a meeting with the President. Then a CIA source I trust said the agency had no record of a contract consultant with that name. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever heard of this guy," my source said.

I tried calling Terry's phone number. I got a recorded message from a wireless phone provider saying the number was no longer in service. I tried a second phone number I had for him. Same result.

Then a friend from the Hill called.

"You've been had," she said. "I know about this guy. He's been around for years, claiming to have been in Special Forces, with the CIA, with NSA. He hasn't worked for any of them and his name is not Terrance Wilkinson."

I'm keeping the rest of the post, but it's not true, so feel free to ignore.

Old news. But how about this bit:

The report had already been discredited," said Terrance J. Wilkinson, a CIA advisor present at two White House briefings. "This point was clearly made when the President was in the room during at least two of the briefings."

Bush's response was anger, Wilkinson said.

"He said that if the current operatives working for the CIA couldn't prove the story was true, then the agency had better find some who could," Wilkinson said. "He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."

Waiting for this to hit big (or not). I'm not sure about this source. But it has already been picked up by Japan Today.

Let's have fun tracking how big this might get: Google News Listing for Terrance J. Wilkinson

9/11 Commission Says U.S. Agencies Slow Its Inquiry

9/11 is Bush's windfall. He would be a nothing, a nobody, and a joke, if it wasn't for the attack. I know some Gore voters who actually have said to me "Maybe it is good Gore didn't win, because Bush make me feel better being there on 9/11" Huh? As much as I don't like Giuliani (often), he definitely made me feel better being there, but W?

Anyway, 9/11 is Bush's armor against all facts against him. Be thankful he was there.

But 9/11 was his hugest failure.

All other failures but aside, even if nothing else was done, he, and he alone could have at least prevented the Pentagon bombing. But he failed. He read about Goats. He made a brief speech. He got on a plane. And THEN he okayed the idea of shooting down jets. Airforce jets were minutes away from the Pentagon when it got hit. Due to Bush, and due to Bush only, they were not in the air much much earlier. I have a lot more I want to say about that when I have time to write it out more clearly then I usually do on this site.

Meanwhile back to the article in question (see above):

WASHINGTON, July 8 — The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks said today that its work was being hampered by the failure of executive branch agencies, especially the Pentagon and the Justice Department, to respond quickly to requests for documents and testimony.

The panel also said the failure of the Bush administration to allow officials to be interviewed without the presence of government colleagues could impede its investigation, with the commission's chairman suggesting today that the situation amounted to "intimidation" of the witnesses.
...

Mr. Kean [Republican ex Gov of NJ] and Mr. Hamilton suggested that the Justice Department was behind a directive barring intelligence officials from being interviewed by the panel without the presence of agency colleagues.

At a news conference, Mr. Kean described the presence of "minders" at the interviews as a form of intimidation. "I think the commission feels unanimously that it's some intimidation to have somebody sitting behind you all the time who you either work for or works for your agency," he said. "You might get less testimony than you would."

the Bush Administration used to not like that type of intimidation. As this Blog reminds us:

WHY DO INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS NEED SADDAM-STYLE MINDERS?

Remember back before the war, when UN investigators were questioning Iraqi scientists? Remember how it was that the US made such a stink about being able to interview the scientists without official Iraqis present? Sure you do.

Back then, the Bush administration claimed that Saddam Hussein was intimidating these scientists into spouting the official government line. In fact, the US went so far as to demand that questioning be continued outside of Iraq, where Saddam would be less likely to influence what the scientists had to say.

The Bush Administration was right when it said it was intimidating. Why isn't it now?

David Rubenstein, co-founder and Managing Director of The Carlyle Group Describes Our pResident:

But when we were putting the board together [for Caterair], somebody [Fred Malek] came to me and said, look there is a guy who would like to be on the board. He's kind of down on his luck a bit. Needs a job. Needs a board position. Needs some board positions. Could you put him on the board? Pay him a salary and he'll be a good board member and be a loyal vote for the management and so forth.

I said well we're not usually in that business. But okay, let me meet the guy. I met the guy. I said I don't think he adds that much value. We'll put him on the board because - you know - we'll do a favor for this guy; he's done a favor for us.

We put him on the board and [he] spent three years. Came to all the meetings. Told a lot of jokes. Not that many clean ones. And after a while I kind of said to him, after about three years - you know, I'm not sure this is really for you. Maybe you should do something else. Because I don't think you're adding that much value to the board. You don't know that much about the company.

He said, well I think I'm getting out of this business anyway. And I don't really like it that much. So I'm probably going to resign from the board.

And I said, thanks - didn't think I'd ever see him again. His name is George W. Bush. He became President of the United States. So you know if you said to me, name 25 million people who would maybe be President of the United States, he wouldn't have been in that category. So you never know. Anyway, I haven't been invited to the White House for any things. (Emphasis added)

Bush Lies (tm)

"I think the men and women of the military are appreciative of the fact that they know they have a president who supports them as strongly as he does..." Ari Fleischer

Bush Does Not Support Our Troops.

In recent months, President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress have missed no opportunity to heap richly deserved praise on the military. But talk is cheap — and getting cheaper by the day, judging from the nickel-and-dime treatment the troops are getting lately.

For example, the White House griped that various pay-and-benefits incentives added to the 2004 defense budget by Congress are wasteful and unnecessary — including a modest proposal to double the $6,000 gratuity paid to families of troops who die on active duty. This comes at a time when Americans continue to die in Iraq at a rate of about one a day.

Similarly, the administration announced that on Oct. 1 it wants to roll back recent modest increases in monthly imminent-danger pay (from $225 to $150) and family-separation allowance (from $250 to $100) for troops getting shot at in combat zones. - Army Times Editorial (reprinted in a blog as it is subscription only)

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. - Republican President Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
