TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Am I crazy or am I the only one who realizes that George W. Bush has appointed several convicted felons to sensitive positions in our government? Everyone is talking about how he said he will fire Rove if a crime was committed but nobody asked him why he has appointed convicted felons and other people involved in crimes? Take a look around the administration and see how many ex-Iran-Contra criminals you can spot. You can probably make a game out of it at this point! Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.

· Bush Administration Cautions Turkey Against "hot Pursuit" Across Border With Iraq - The Bush administration cautioned Turkey against pursuing Kurdish militants across the border into Iraq, saying it would be a difficult operation that could have "unintended consequences."

TVNL Comment: In other words the US has enabled 10 September 11ths to be take place in Iraq, not to mention the long term horror of American depleted uranium that we have rained on to their nation. How is this not a crime against humanity?

· Raw acquires copy of letter from British ambassador in lead-up to war: 'Need to wrongfoot Saddam' - The copy, obtained through British channels, provides further indication of the veracity of the documents and offers striking visual evidence that the communications were made at the highest levels of the Blair government. - In the letter from Meyer, he indicates that the British had a "need to wrongfoot Saddam on the inspectors and the UN" Security Council Resolutions, possibly suggesting that the British and the United States were coordinating to 'trick' Saddam into starting a war.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· A Roving Ethical Problem - Allegedly, the United States invaded Iraq to stem the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Yet in retaliating against Wilson, an envoy who challenged the Bush administration’s claims on Saddam’s efforts to get WMD, Rove and perhaps others undermined the CIA’s efforts to get information on such proliferation by “outing” Plame. This contradiction is one more indication that the invasion of Iraq had little to do with Iraqi WMD programs.

· Bush Administration Deceptions Longstanding and Growing - President Bush feels that his reelection was a referendum on his actions taking us to war thus avoiding facing up to the lies and deceptions that got us there.

· Bush Fire Rove? Why? Bush Loves Felons; Just Look All Around Him! - Bush’s entire administration is comprised of criminals and characters with shady pasts, suspicious connections and prior convictions! So why is anyone surprised about the leak or about the fact that Bush is protecting the leakers? What has Bush done in his past that makes any of this surprising?

· Bush: Any Criminals in Leak to Be Fired - President Bush said Monday that if anyone in his administration committed a crime in connection with the public leak of the identity of a CIA operative, that person will "no longer work in my administration." At the same time, Bush yet again sidestepped a question on the role of his top political adviser, Karl Rove, in the matter.

· TVNL REPLAY: Plan Called for Covert Aid in Iraq Vote - In the months before the Iraqi elections in January, President Bush approved a plan to provide covert support to certain Iraqi candidates and political parties, but rescinded the proposal because of Congressional opposition, current and former government officials said Saturday. - The article, by Seymour M. Hersh, reports that the administration proceeded with the covert plan over the Congressional objections.- Any clandestine American effort to influence the Iraqi elections, or to provide particular support to candidates or parties seen as amenable to working with the United States, would have run counter to the Bush administration's assertions that the vote would be free and unfettered.
TVNL Comment: Democracy? Or another puppet regime? Do you still need to know why they want to kill us? If this is true they are right to want to kill Americans or at least kill out leaders!

· Frist vs Science - Last May the Republican-dominated House of Representatives voted to loosen President Bush's limits on embryonic stem cell research, allowing scientists to study cells derived from soon-to-be discarded embryos at fertility clinics. Senate Democrats and moderate Republicans could pass similar legislation as soon as this week. Conservatives realize they're opposing a popular policy that could be used against them as a wedge issue in midterm elections next year and in 2008. So Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has devised an alternative that undermines science while scoring political points.
