More Docs about Bush's service released:
Isn’t this about the 25th times that the WH has said that “NOW, we have released all the documents that exist about this matter”.
Again, it’s not a big deal the docs themselves, but the constant inability to either tell the truth or to know the truth. Incompetence or Deception?

The "liberal media" really missing this story
“Insurgents in Iraq have launched more than 2,300 attacks on civilians and military personnel in the last 30 days, according to a report by Special Operations Consulting-Security Management Group Inc.”
That’s two thousand three hundred…in the past THIRTY DAYS.
From watching the media that Bush and Allawi claim is not portraying the reality in Iraq, I guess they were right. I had NO IDEA that there around 80 attacks PER DAY…NO IDEA.

Am I rationalizing or have I lost hope
Had an email "discussion" with a colleague of mine today, he's a Bushie. He's main news sources seem to be Hannity and wherever Hannity tells him to look. Anywho, we debated various opinions, he denied a few facts, but this is common among the Bushies, who I honestly believe have to fool themselves into supporting a man who stand for nothing and will lie about anything Rove instructs him to. But, I digress. So, he points out a few of the polls out today showing Bush continuing with a lead. I don't buy the polls much, but I do think the Bush probably has a lead today...Although I'm at a loss to understand it. Iraq, the economy, just what has he done for America? Somehow the discussion gets to the Popular Vote in 2000 and this Bushie vehemently denies that Gore won the popular vote. Not just talking about the "election" but the actual popular vote. So, I go to the FEC website where I see, Yup, Gore still won the Popular vote.
So, I ask myself, and some other anti-Bushies, how can you argue with (or better yet, show the error of their ways) a group of people who are so detached from reality. Is this what Fox News was wrought? How do you argue the finer points of deficit spending or Medicare with someone who BELIEVES Bush won the popular vote?
These are the people who are voting for Bush. This is where I think I lost hope. There is a part of me that has crept into my thinking in recent days that I want Bush to win so that he can deal with all the Bullshit he has created over the past 4 years. Crappy economy, deficit, fixing Iraq, dealing with terrorism, Iran and North Korea, helping in Sudan, education, etc. But, he's not going to fix it, it will get worse. (I do think that the upside to a Bush win is that the GOP won't see the WH for another 12 years after the Bush disasters that await us). I think, can Kerry (or anyone) fix the mess Bush has created in 4 years? Since that's probably not likely, let Bush take the fall for his own incompetence.
Have I resigned myself to four more disastrous years of Bush, a President who won't have to worry about re-election and can therefore ruin America even more? Have I lost hope in Kerry's lame campaign (watching Howard Dean on Charlie Rose did nothing to lift my spirits about Kerry's unspirited campaign). I watch Scarborough and the Fox News hacks continue to pound away about CBS. I watch Kerry give a speech where he finally says things he should have said months ago about homeland security, Iraq, etc. Intelligent things, factual things. But, the "liberal media" doesn't pick up on it.
So, anyway, I have a sinking feeling. I cry for America tonight. I just hope I don't cry again on Nov. 3.

There you have it
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/09/15/guard.memos.congress/index.html
She didn’t type the memos, but the information contained in them is correct. (I can’t wait to hear how this woman is credible on one part and a liar on the other)
"But Marian Carr Knox, a former Texas Air National Guard secretary, said she did type similar documents for her boss, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian.
"I know that I didn't type them. However, the information in those is correct," Knox told CBS anchor Dan Rather."
AND HERE”S SOME NERVE:
"House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, said he collected signatures from 39 colleagues on a letter sent to the network calling for a retraction and asking CBS News to reveal the source of the documents."
As Stewart pointed out in last night’s “Douchebag of Liberty” segment: Maybe if Congress is going to demand sources, it should demand that Novak reveal who committed a Federal Crime by leaking the name of a CIA agent.
FREAKIN” Hypocrites.

Hearts and Minds
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1303127,00.html
I saw a British paper refer to this as a “slaughter”. Also read a Pakistani paper that calls out the brutality of the US troops. I wonder how many terrorists this little incident makes? I don’t fault the US troops one bit, they are doing what Bush sent them there to do. Bush is the one creating more terrorists. And when this plays in the Arab press it dosen’t matter if they are insurgents, terrorists, or innocents. They will all be matyrs.
I absolutely love this quote: (Mr. Orwell, Mr. Heller meet the US Military)
Earlier, the US military had said a helicopter destroyed the vehicle "to prevent looting and harm to the Iraqi people", after four US soldiers were wounded in the attack on the Bradley.
“to prevent harm to the Iraqi people”…we blew them up. WOW.

I must have misspoke...priceless
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5943420/
Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett told the Washington Post in 1999 that the future president had served at a Boston-area Air Force Reserve unit after leaving Houston. But Bush never joined a Boston-area unit, the Globe said.
“I must have misspoke,” Bartlett, now White House communications director, was quoted as telling the Globe in a recent interview.
Is that how it works for the Bushies? You can lie and then just say “I misspoke”. Clinton and Nixon misspoke too, I guess. Or does this special divine hallpass to lie all the time only extend to the Bush White House? The pathetic thing is the “liberal” media lets these liars get away with this crap every day.

Russia
I sit here getting more and more angry over the news in Russia. As a father, seeing pictures of murdered children who are the same age as mine fills me with rage. 9/11 horrified me, the bombings in Madrid left me in disbelief, this latest act of Terrorism angers me.
No matter the Chechens case for their anger at Russia, killing children is not futhering the cause. World opinion is against them now and would anyone shed a tear for them if Putin unleashed the full brunt of the Russian people on who ever is associated with this act?
Methinks not.
