Positive Thought

Before I call it a night, I wanted everyone to get their week off to a positive start.

House Leaders Letter to Bush

From The Gavel: “House Democratic Leaders Call Presidents’ Attention to Crucial Facts in Iraq War Debate”. If Haster stood up to Bush the way Pelosi does maybe things would be different. But then again Haster was never in control.

It would be nice if the mainstream media direct their attention to the positive work the Dems are doing instead of continually playing Bush’s BS ranting on Iraq.

Maliki Ask For Wall Building To Stop

Prime Minister Maliki has asked the U.S. military to halt building the wall to separate Shities and Sunni’s. In a Reuter’s article Maliki was in Cairo trying to get support for Iraq on an Arab tour. During his speech regarding the Baghdad wall, he stated “I asked yesterday that it be stopped and that alternatives be found to protect the area,” “I fear this wall might have repercussions which remind us of other walls, which we reject,” he added.  

The American response was to play the whole thing down and they would work with the Iraqi’s to coordinate security. Did the U.S. not coordinate this 3 mile insult with the Iraqis before they started construction?  How typical of Bush to come up with the most insulting way to solve a situation. Is the new commander General David Petraeus so afraid to stand up to Bush and tell them it’s wrong?  Maybe, but I believe Petraeus is in the same no win situation with Bush that every general before him was in. Remember Petraeus got his job because previous commanders spoke against Bush and his numerous failed plans and ideas. 

How confused is Maliki now? Bush tells him to take control, so Maliki listens to his people who are insulted by the wall and he makes a decision to halt the building. You can bet he will get an earful from Bush. Since Maliki was on an Arab tour you can bet that he met with leaders of countries that Bush doesn’t condone. Oh Maliki will hear about that.  Maliki is a leader with to many puppet masters attached to him. While Bush, the controller of everyone’s universe, needs to be the head puppet master at the cost of humanity and dignity.

Dr. Strangebush

The megalomaniac at work. Doesn’t this picture remind you of something out of Dr. Stangelove or should I say Dr. Strangebush.

This picture was taken on April 20, 2007, during Bush’s speech in East Grand Rapids Michigan.

Slim Hope For GOP In 2008

According to the Washington Post today, the GOP is nervous about their chances of regaining Congress in 2008.  The article points out the recent FBI raids on Doolittle and Renzi wives businesses and the cloud of political corruption that hangs over the GOP.  However, Tom Cole (R. Oklahoma) thinks we will forget by the time the Presidential election comes around and the “culture of corruption” won’t break through.  Is he kidding me? I don’t know about you but I’m still kicking ass.
