a few things

My friend on the right, neo-neocon brought to our attention the special Nightline program on the existence of the Saddam Hussein tapes. Turns out, they were not so much a smoking gun as just more proof he was sly little fox. Talking in the 90's about how he is working on some weapons doesn't exactly scream imminent threat does it? When we invaded in 2003 he had no WMD's, hard to swalllow huh?

This hunting story would be dead in the water if Cheney didn't operate (ha, get it!) the way he does in a shroud of secrecy. When Byron York and Peggy Noonan are calling you out, you've really screwed up.

Speaking of Cheney, to the people who are clamoring for a Democratic victory this November in order to get the impeachment train moving, are you nuts? Ladies and Gentleman: President Cheney. Also, is it really so inconceivable that Cheney wouldn't run for the presidency in 08? He is the VP of a two termer and really the only devoted future standard bearer of the Bush doctrine (McCain would fudge to much).

Thanks to Salon online we once again see where our tax dollars went; the torture and humiliation of Arab men in a Muslim country. Blood sprayed walls, naked men, lesions, chemicals, human pyramids and crushed bodies. This is not a few bad apples, this is the stated policy of the United States military under the criminal Don Rumsfeld, whose continued employment will be one pondered over in the history books.
