Cheney Says House Doesn't Support Troops

I want to tell the P and the VP that anyone who says enough to this ego-driven war supports U.S. troops way more than either one of them.

...but not under oath.

The same people, Gonzalez, Rove and Miers, who want to listen to private telephone conversations and tell us if we have nothing to hide then we need not worry, are now willing to explain their actions...but not under oath.

Alberto Gonzalez

The only thing missing from this fiasco is: You're doin' a heckuva job, Alberto.

Headline: Army General Forced to Retire

The story: The Army forced its surgeon general, Lt Gen. Kevin C. Riley, to retire, officials said Monday, the third high- level official to lose his job over the poor outpatient treatment of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

My reaction: Many people lose their jobs every day due to some type of wrongdoing. I wonder how many of them would mind being "forced to retire?"

My other reaction: Surely, in some of the in-depth photo ops that President Pinocchio has had with wounded soldiers, this would have come up.

The only thing I haven't heard is: You're doin' a heckuva job, Riley.

FBI Abuse...

What a surprise! This administration has done more harm to this country and the world than any terrorist organization bent on destroying us. They have won.

Our standing in the world has diminished to the point where our reputation is nothing better than some powerful thugs. Our economy will take a generation or more to recover from the massive costs of the most ill-conceived, ill-planned, vindictive preemptive strike in the history of this nation. Our society is so divided that this President is the first in history to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would actually codify discrimination and take rights from people (even as other first-world nations wake up and change their laws to be more, not less, inclusive. Lying to the American public about the political agenda of our leaders and their methods to achieve them has become a knee-jerk reaction to anything that challenges them. How many former administration members have tried to blow the whistle? And yet, the American public has reelected GWB, the most ignorant and incompetent and illiterate president in the history of this country.

So, where, exactly, is the big surprise that the FBI has abused its newly found powers; powers that were supposedly granted to protect us Unfortunately, we needed to be protected from ourselves. Here, I blame both parties. I blame the Republicans for backing the worst president and vice-president this country has known. I blame the Democrats for their spineless pandering in order not to appear unpatriotic. There are so few honorable people in our government that it's no wonder that the country might be willing to elect a one-term senator to the office of president, simple because he appears to have integrity. That's another blog though.
