President Bush Discusses War on Terror in South Carolina
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
July 24, 2007
Charleston Air Force Base
Charleston, South Carolina
11:50 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Please be seated. Thank you, Colonel. Thanks for the hospitality and kind introduction. I'm proud to be with the men and women of the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines, the Army and the Coast Guard. Thanks for serving. Thanks for wearing the uniform of the United States of America.
I'm proud to be back here in the great state of South Carolina. I'm proud to be with some of the Palmetto State's finest citizens. I'm glad to be eating lunch with you. The food is pretty good, Colonel. (Laughter.) I always like a good barbecue.
I also am proud to be with the military families. You know, our troops are obviously engaged in a tough struggle, tough fight, a fight that I think is noble and necessary for our peace. And so are our families. Our military families endure the separations. They Read More »
One of Iran’s missiles sounds more like a barbeque, but it's no picnic: Shahab. This site shows diagrams of the different sizes they're producing: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iran/missile.htm news reports claimed that Iran is developing a 3,500-mile (5,632 kilometers) range missile called Shahab-6 that would be capable of reaching Europe. I read elsewhere that it's only capable of 2,000 miles, so this global security site (linked to government?) may be exaggerating, not sure. The technology for this system was cited as coming from Russia and North Korea. Shahab-4, 5, & 6 is in all probability China through a "Know How" technology transfer agreement requested by Iran. Another reason we should boycott the Olympics. Wonder if BO is going? Yep, they’re really going to take over the world with 50-300 scud B missiles and 50-150 scud C missiles and 25-100 Zelzal 3’s. Mkay. Notice it took 7 years to compile this information from year 2000. Compare to Iraq and what they had to go on: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iraq/missile.htm
Tony Blair should be held accountable, even more so than Lil B. It was his dossier that convinced Bush. After I reviewed this, I felt we were used as proxy, much like we use Israel in their proxy war. Unbelievably dirty, dirty, dirty. http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iraq/2002/iraq-020924-usia01.htm And his WMD evidence: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iraq/2002/iraqdossier.pdf

McCain stirred interest when he held a Memorial Day weekend barbecue at his Arizona home and invited three potential running mates
Gov. Mitt Romney, Florida
Gov. Charlie Crist and Louisiana
Gov. Bobby Jindal and their wives
I noticed they're pushing Mitt Romney in the limelight recently. McCranky is going to hold out until last minute to counter BO.
Obama has fielded numerous questions about perhaps offering Hillary Rodham Clinton a spot on his ticket. The former first lady suspended her own presidential campaign but issued a strong endorsement for him. Okay, so now he's entertained:
Majority Leader Harry Reid
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Reps. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina
Rahm Emanuel of Illinois
Jim Johnson and Eric Holder asked to guide the vetting. Johnson suffered media coverage about corruption, so he left.
What we know from the past is, Cheney was guiding the vetting, when he put himself as a running mate.
So, who do you think each of these front runners will announce as their VP running mate?
My guess is:
-Sen. McCranky & Sen. Lindsey Graham
-Sen. BO & Sen. Dick Durbin or Sen. Joe Biden/or General Wesley Clark (last 2 favorable)
I predict it could possible be an all out senatorial race...first in history.
All I know is, I want accountability in Washington, we haven't had it in ANY party. Put PINK in the party and damn, you'll have it! We'll beotch. We know how. :P

John McCain and Barack Obama may think the economy is in "a shambles," but the economy was showing "remarkable resilience." And while it was "not growing as it should, it was growing nonetheless." Lil B
"Gaaw-aawl-ly" and "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
Think he should apologize to us for holding us hostage to our credit cards and the fuel pump?
Waste NO TIME in impeaching these men. Who cares if it galvanizes the GOP, there are GOP jumping ship, they don't want to get sucked down the drain...and they ARE going to leave, we'll see to it.

At each stop, he let out the same battle cry: a populist attack on big oil, big pharmaceutical companies, big insurance companies and corporate lobbyists in Washington. Then he described the "powerful insiders that had rigged the system against the ordinary working man, leaving him poorer, degrading the environment and blocking access to affordable health care."
Another Hint:
"I've been fighting these people all my entire life.
We've got to stop being mealy-mouthed and careful. We've got to get rid of the robber barons. We need to have some guts."
And this persons voice rose, "It makes me angry. I feel outrage. I won't let them get away with it."
Can you guess who said these things?

Three Questions for Mc Cain:
1. WHEN did you win a war? Viet Nam wasn't a declared war, we did NOT win there and YOU can not single handed-ly or backhandedly win a war.
2. What do you win in a war? A trip to Disneyland?
3. Who in the hell advises you on this war rhetoric?
4. Do you think leaking BO's name to the terrorist enemy will help win the war? Is that your war strategy? Will it cost tax payers more money if BO were to become a casualty, or a POW?
5. What is a uranium gas enrichment centrifuge and what is it used for? Ask lil B.

Canadian lawyers released a wrenching 2003 video - the first of its kind ever made public - of a tearful 16-year-old boy suffering what appears to be a mental breakdown during an interrogation by Canadian officials at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Five years later, Omar Khadr has still not been charged with any crime.
The footage was made public by Mr Khadr's lawyers following a Supreme Court ruling in May that the Canadian authorities had to hand over key evidence against him to allow a full defense of the charges he is facing.
The video was filmed secretly through an air duct.

Iran says its nuclear program is purely energy-related, but the United States accuses it of trying to develop atomic arms.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5imG-Gmyrfld190llCL7AdcThgngAD91UKVO80
The package of incentives was accompanied by a letter from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the foreign ministers of the other five countries and sets out a scenario in which Iran would get a temporary reprieve from economic and financial sanctions in exchange for freezing its enrichment activities.
Preliminary negotiations over a permanent halt could then begin, although the United States would not join them until after Iran agrees to fully suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce the fuel needed to make nuclear bombs.
WHAT ARE THE PACKAGE OF INCENTIVE YOU ASK?
Well, I can guarantee it's not cupcakes. Let's hope the PACKAGE OF INCENTIVE from this new COOKIE PUSHER will drive a stake in policy, not in civilians. We know what happened to Richard Armitage and Colin Powell.

American Envoy To Join Iran Talks Move Is Departure From Prior Policy
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/15/AR2008071502647.html?hpid=topnews
The Bush administration will send a senior envoy this weekend to international talks with Iran about its nuclear program in what U.S. officials described as a "one-time deal" designed to demonstrate a serious desire to negotiate a solution to the impasse over Tehran's ambitions.
In a significant departure from long-standing policy, Undersecretary of State William J. Burns will join a scheduled meeting in Geneva between European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana and top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, according to a senior State Department official

My repost was the truth:
http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/michellepernula/CtKs
John Edwards released the following statement today on President George Bush's remarks on the economy:
"Now that George Bush has finally joined the call for an economic stimulus package, the time for debate and delay is over. American families cannot wait any longer for swift and decisive action. After years of stagnant wages, the economy may be slipping into a recession and if we don't act now we may make our problems worse.
"The economic damage done by Bush and Cheney is deep and long-lasting, and the temporary tax cuts he proposes will not solve it alone. Making matters worse, his plan provides little or no help to some 50 million low-income and middle class families.
"To help middle class families get ahead over the long haul, we need to invest in a clean energy infrastructure that will create jobs now and pay Read More »

Here's what happens behind the scene and feeds into why we need to impeach the leaders sooner, rather than later.

Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

Washington, DC 20515

2006 Sept 12
Sir,
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Staff Report of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Subcommittee on Intelligence Policy, date 23 August 2006, entitled "Recognizing Iran as a Strategic Threat: An Intelligence Challenge for the United States," contains some erroneous, misleading and unsubstantiated information.
The caption under the photograph of the Natanz site on page 9 of the report states that "Iran is currently enriching uranium to weapons grade using a 164-machine centrifuge cascade." In this regard, please be informed that information about the uranium enrichment work being carried out at the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant (PFEP_ at Natanz, including the 3.6% enrichment level that had been achieved by Iran, was provided to the IAEA Board of Governors by the Director General in April 2006 (see GOV/2006/27. paragraph 31). The description of this enrichment level as "weapons grade" is incorrect, since the term "weapons-grade" is commonly used to refer to uranium enriched to the order of 60% or more in the isotope of uranium-235.

I keep thinking back to the Spring of 2000. George W. Bush was already a shoe-in for the GOP presidential nomination and he was about to begin his 'search' for a running mate. Listening to his father, the former president, he called on old family friend Dick Cheney to help with the search. To my surprise, but not with a shock, the person that Dick Cheney found to be the perfect running mate for the future Village Idiot, was....DICK CHENEY!!
They even had to go to court THEN because Cheney was, as was Bush, a resident of Texas, and the law states the two on the ticket cannot be from the same state. And they needed a very 'friendly' judge to say it was alright for Cheney to suddenly change his address back to Wyoming and allow it to be a legal move....which of course, he did.
Anyway, as soon as that was done, I warned EVERYBODY that would listen to me to "watch your gasoline prices" if these to jokers were accidently elected...which of course, the did....well, OK they were CHOSEN by the Supreme Court.
9/11 gave this bad ventriloquist team all of the excuses they needed to start the ball rolling on Operation "Today America, Tomorrow the World"!!
Oil and gasoline prices have been on a tear ever since their inauguration. But what was the BIG picture really all about? What was the target of this evil scheme against the American people?
Well, fellow Democrats, we are now living thru the dropping of the other shoe. It started with American oil companies, at this late date, being allowed to work the Iraqi oil fields for the first time in decades, since THEIR biggest roadblock for over 3 decades was, in fact, Saddam Hussein, who while raving against the US....lost his head....literally.
And NOW, once again at THIS late date, the sudden answer to the HUGE increases in oil and gas must be more off-shore drilling and of course, ANWAR! Forget about the fact that the only effect will be MORE profits on the bottom lines of those who bought both the governorship of Texas, but the US presidency......BIG OIL!! No help for Americans or their decaying lives and economy.
There is an honest belief within all of the voices....in my head....that the possiblity exists for SOME price corrections after the November elections. Why, you might ask? Well, the loudest of the voices in my head says it is because Big Oil, OPEC, and the Bush and Cheney families in particular, are taking full advantage of the situation of White House control, to pad their profits and bank accounts BEFORE an unfriendly Democratic administration takes over the government and world leadership. After that, they will need to try to build new bridges to replace those they have BURNED over the past 8 years!!
9/11 would have only been a small blip on the price of oil, by itself. It was the American coup d'tat of an Arab dictator that DIDN'T do business with us, that started the price gouging and the market speculation and manipulation of the price of crude oil!
There are still many Democrats who want Bush and Cheney impeached for their crimes. But it is way too late for that. However, I believe they could BOTH, along with Rumsfeld and some others, be tried in an international court for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!
Oh, dammit........I am sorry.......Phil Gramm thinks I am just WHINING again...........

Pakistan's top diplomat said Saturday there are no U.S. or other foreign military personnel on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed in to search for the al-Qaida leader.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said his nation's new government has ruled out such military operations, covert or otherwise, to catch militants.
"Our government's policy is that our troops, paramilitary forces and our regular forces are deployed in sufficient numbers. They are capable of taking action there. And any foreign intrusion would be counterproductive," he said Saturday. "People will not accept it. Questions of sovereignty come in."

They even had to go to court THEN because Cheney was, as was Bush, a resident of Texas, and the law states the two on the ticket cannot be from the same state. And they needed a very 'friendly' judge to say it was alright for Cheney to suddenly change his address back to Wyoming and allow it to be a legal move....which of course, he did.
Anyway, as soon as that was done, I warned EVERYBODY that would listen to me to "watch your gasoline prices" if these to jokers were accidently elected...which of course, the did....well, OK they were CHOSEN by the Supreme Court.
9/11 gave this bad ventriloquist team all of the excuses they needed to start the ball rolling on Operation "Today America, Tomorrow the World"!!
Oil and gasoline prices have been on a tear ever since their inauguration. But what was the BIG picture really all about? What was the target of this evil scheme against the American people?
Well, fellow Democrats, we are now living thru the dropping of the other shoe. It started with American oil companies, at this late date, being allowed to work the Iraqi oil fields for the first time in decades, since THEIR biggest roadblock for over 3 decades was, in fact, Saddam Hussein, who while raving against the US....lost his head....literally.
And NOW, once again at THIS late date, the sudden answer to the HUGE increases in oil and gas must be more off-shore drilling and of course, ANWAR! Forget about the fact that the only effect will be MORE profits on the bottom lines of those who bought both the governorship of Texas, but the US presidency......BIG OIL!! No help for Americans or their decaying lives and economy.
There is an honest belief within all of the voices....in my head....that the possiblity exists for SOME price corrections after the November elections. Why, you might ask? Well, the loudest of the voices in my head says it is because Big Oil, OPEC, and the Bush and Cheney families in particular, are taking full advantage of the situation of White House control, to pad their profits and bank accounts BEFORE an unfriendly Democratic administration takes over the government and world leadership. After that, they will need to try to build new bridges to replace those they have BURNED over the past 8 years!!
9/11 would have only been a small blip on the price of oil, by itself. It was the American coup d'état of an Arab dictator that DIDN'T do business with us, that started the price gouging and the market speculation and manipulation of the price of crude oil!

Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, Iran has had some difficult relations with Western countries, especially us. Iran has been under constant US unilateral sanctions which were tightened under the presidency of Bill Clinton.
Iran has had a civilian nuclear program since before the 1979 revolution. However, since the revolution, there has been some worries that Iran could use this program to develop nuclear weapons and especially since we invaded Iraq and find reasons to remain. These worries have been heightened by by Alireza Jafarzadeh, a prominent associate of MKO (Aug 2002), of the existence of 2 secret nuclear sites: a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz (part underground) and a heavy water facility in Arak. There is however no proof at this stage that this program is not purely civil.
I want proof. I want proof. I want proof.
I want proof that there are underground nuclear plants that are making weapons and that it's not civilian. To say there are "uranium gas enrichment centrifuges" means absolutely nothing to me. Do a google search of gas enrichment centrifuges.
The Iranian nuclear program has been controversial as, although the development of a civilian nuclear power program, including enrichment activities, IS explicitly allowed under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Read More »

Have you seen this on national news? I haven't, but now I know why they report that our troops are suffering worse casualties in Afghanistan and IRAM's.
US-Led Strikes Killed 47 Afghan Civilians, Mostly Women and Children

An official investigation has found that US-led air strikes a week ago struck a wedding and killed 47 Afghan civilians, MOST of them Women and Children, an official said Friday.
The US-led coalition HAD said that ONLY militants died in the July 6 strikes in the mountains of eastern Nangarhar province. But spokeswoman Lieutenant Rumi Nielson-Green told AFP Friday the force was investigating and regretted the loss of any civilian life. It is facing similar charges over strikes 2 days earlier in another border area. (The only thing I ever hear is that we're suffering deadlier attacks...no you wonder why?).
A 9 member team appointed by President Hamid Karzai to look into the Nangarhar incident found that ONLY CIVILIANS were killed in remote Deh Bala district, said the head of the mission, Burhanullah Shinwari. "We found that 47 civilians, MOSTLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN were killed in the air strikes and another 9 were wounded," said Shinwari, who is also the deputy speaker of Afghanistan's senate. "They were all civilians and had no links with Taliban or Al-Qaeda," he told AFP.
