I agree wholeheartedly, Michael.

Wolfowitz will write a book, appear on Larry King and Oprah, whine a little, crack a few jokes, preen for the cameras, look appropriately solemn when he's supposed to, and then trot off to enjoy his stylish and very comfortable retirement...when he should be occupying a jail cell, eating white bread, bologna, and canned pears, and being paid about twelve cents an hour making license tags, for a very, very long time.

It's time to remove the cowards who betrayed us from public office. I'll be updating my list of Congressional Democrats to hold recall elections against, but it would help immensely if you could please spread this to as many people in the legislative districts as possible. We should not wait until November 2008 to remove this bunch from power they fumbled away.

I LOVE Kucinich! If he looked like Romney the whole nation might well love Kucinich.

We are such a shallow people...

Yes, we should contact our turntail Dems, Michael, and keep contacting them. I have no idea how they think continuing the war under their okay is any better than doing so under R applause. Does the whole country have to bang on their doors and tell them so? Aparently so. So I am telling the ones that voted against the measure 'thank you' (never hurts to say thank you when they do something right even if they did it for the wrong reason--just let them know you are still watching them), and telling people like Harkin (sob) I am very disappointed in them.

I expect better from the Dems, and demand they pay attention to the people for a change!

Thanks, Michael. I've made the contacts and passed the info along. Hopefully, these cowardly senators will be inundated with negative responses from people who feel betrayed, as I do.

Excellent idea, dori, to say thanks to those who aren't cowards.

I'm also wondering if the Dems haven't allowed the Repubs to sneak another one in on them just in time for the 2008 campaign. People have very short memories. If the Republicans look like they're the ones who want to begin troop withdrawal before the end of this year, they're going to appear to the sheeple to be the ones who want to end the war, not the Dems.

Republican senator: GOP will be ready by September to start looking at troop withdrawal

Some people in government are stupid, but most aren't. So why do the Dems always play 'follow the leader' when the leader is almost anyone R?

Catherine, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Rs use this to tar the Dems again.

Why don't the Dems wake up? 10 Dems and one Independent plus three Rs voted 'NO' in the Senate. Disgraceful.

I am angry, but as much as Jesse wants us all to hate Dems, I don't. What I am angry about is that our government is so beholden to money--and it corrupts everyone.

Is there someone out there who can do a better job of staying true to the Constitution while begging for money to run for office? I haven't seen that person if there is.

Unbelievable.

I'm getting sick of having to bring this up every time somebody mentions the gassing of Kurds in Iraq. The mainstream media, habitually uncritical of anything produced by the Bush White House, usually leaves out dissenting evidence showing that--at least in 1988--Iran was responsible for gassing Kurds during its war with Iraq. One would think that the senior CIA analyst for Iraq during that country's war with Iran would garner better and more attention. It is one thing to deliberately gas civilians, especially absent any conflict. But this charge, leveled at Saddam Hussein and his top officers, was never conclusively proven. And evidence showing likely Iranian involvement in the deaths of Kurdish guerrillas in 1988, had it gained the attention it deserved, would have drastically weakened a key justification for invading and occupying Iraq before we went in. Once again, the full truth is hidden away.

Why? I think it's so people who supported the invasion on these grounds can sleep better at night. Because if they knew, or allowed themselves to know, that the charges of gassing weren't all that strong they might have had a tougher time justifying that support in their own minds. They might also have the weight of over half a million Iraqi civilian deaths and thousands of dead American G.I.s on their consciences. But that's just my opinion. What irks me is that the other side of this discussion so often is left out, and it deserves to be included.

The Kurds never seemed to worry the US government before we needed so much of the Middle Eastern oil. It also seems that most of those close to the inner workings of the Saddam government are being put to death. They probably know too much, while those who are missing from the dock are more guilty than those being sentenced to die.

Plame to Appeal Dismissal of Suit in CIA Case



Bates is just another BUSH planted turd in the judicial system. In dismissing this lawsuit, he's been a good boy and will probably be handsomely rewarded by the Godfather.
