"I commend the House of Representatives for its leadership in passing an economic security package that will help workers and get our economy growing. This bipartisan plan will help ensure that workers have access to health care and unemployment benefits, that new jobs will be created, and that people will have more money in their pockets. For the sake of America's workers, I call on the Senate to act now on this plan, which can pass the Senate with a bipartisan majority if it is brought up for a vote. If this bipartisan bill gets to my desk, I will sign it."  - GWB Dec. 20, 2001

Q Mr. President, your administration concluded yesterday that Saddam Hussein pretty much blew his last chance to come clean on his weapons of mass destruction. Are we now on a path to war?

THE PRESIDENT: "One thing is for certain; we will fulfill the terms and conditions of 1441.

The world spoke clearly that we expect Mr. Saddam Hussein to disarm. Yesterday's document was not encouraging. We expected him to show that he would disarm. And as the Secretary of State said, it's -- it's a long way from there. And we're serious about keeping the peace. We're serious about working with our friends in the United Nations so that this body, ably led by Kofi Annan, has got relevance as we go into the 21st century. And yesterday was a disappointing day for those who have longed for peace." - GWB Dec. 20, 2002

"Every year during the holidays, families across America gather to celebrate our blessings -- and we unite to share those blessings with others. Particularly in this time of giving, our thoughts turn to fellow citizens who face hardship, or illness, or loneliness. Their burden often seems even greater at Christmastime, yet the hope of this season was meant for them, as well." - GWB Dec. 20, 2003.

"Early in the year, I will also submit a budget that fits the times. We will provide every tool and resource for our military, we'll protect the homeland and we'll meet other priorities of the government. My budget will maintain strict discipline and the spending of tax dollars, and keep our commitment to cutting the deficit in half over five years." - GWB Dec. 20, 2004.

"We support people who fight corruption. We support people who invest in the health and education of their children. We support people who understand that economic freedom is the way to improve the lives of their citizens."  - GWB Dec. 20, 2005.

"I believe that we're going to win"   - GWB Dec. 20, 2006.

Gee, I wonder why this movie is $97 used at Amazon in America and less than $15 new in Britain (note region code will not play in America)?

My friend Calen text messaged me during today's press conference with "This which is not right is all we have left". 

PROMISES INTERUPTED, PROMISES KEPT

+ =

I don't even know anymore.  Michael Roston's Raw article: Bush signing statement on US-India nuclear deal erases Congressional restrictions, has me in complete disbelief.  I just can't determine if George is an evil genius or a complete imbecile.  I am stumped.

After promoting the India trade deal exchanging mango's for nuclear fuel, his signing statement removes all executive accountability.  Why would he do that?  Let's explore.

Equally absurd to the mango for nuke fuel trade agreements are signing statements.  Neither is good for this country or the world.  The one and only possible advantage to supporting signing statements is the loop hole it creates in this trade agreement.  The evil genius argument portends a poison pill to anyone who wishes to remove his signing statements from all of his other dealings.  Doing so forces incoming presidents to support this self immolation of American security while relinquishing Imperial rule.  Who would make that trade?

But then again on the complete imbecile argument, maybe George & Co. were suffering from acute cranial impaction of the sphincter when they convinced themselves that India would act as a containment treat to China.

I just don't know. 

The only thing these actions indicate is that George thinks the president can sell weapons (arms proliferation) for profit whenever he wants, with whatever technology he chooses, and to whomever he wishes.  What a dangerous douche bag.

Update on cloaks:

truthout has an interesting post up regarding the recent CIA whistleblower/critic provoking the White House national security claim :

Leverett said there were two key paragraphs that the CIA staff wanted to excise. The first concerned U.S. cooperation with Iran concerning Afghanistan around the time of the Sept. 11 attacks. The second dealt with an offer by the Iranians to the United States in early 2003 to discuss the possibility of a "grand bargain" that would settle several key disputes between the two countries.

This is the first time I've read what the objections are all about.  Seems the White House is concerned people will see that we only talk with Iran when it serves other wars but not in preventing one with them.  It also appears that the missed opportunity of 2003 would be very embarrassing to an administration already on a poll death spiral.

When did politically embarrassing decisions of our leaders become NATIONAL security issues?  Seems to me the only security issue here is insuring the security of King George's head, or source of power rather.

We have some rather brave and honorable men and women working in the CIA.  I'm impressed with them.  Some of the Generals are turning out to be pretty decent blokes too.

The moon is almost gone.  It will be a dark damp night.  I hope Dick and George stay home tonight and plot no more.

THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES

Monopoly of power defeated, they come to their senses:

The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee signaled this week that he'll join prominent Democrats in seeking to restore legal rights to hundreds of suspected terrorists confined at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and elsewhere.

A senior House GOP leadership aide said leaders decided collectively to add the pay-raise postponement late Thursday. Incoming House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) said Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had asked Republicans to include the block.

The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress on Tuesday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January.

Democrats always have to rescue America.

WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?

Do you rant against the Corporatists? Do you feel like the masses are loosing their jobs through Globalization? Do you feel Democracies are supporting Despots to keep their wealthy happy while our own middle class collapses and poverty accelerates around the world? Do you worry about Global Warming? Maybe you feel enslaved to life sustaining drugs?

Visit the web site here.

Do you wonder what can be done? Can Gangster Capitalist greed implode through humanitarian desires? Are there any answers to the worlds massive problems? Is there any hope we can cling to? How can I get involved? Can we all succeed and profit too? How can we fight corporate greed?

Are there any simple answers?

A PASSION TO HEAL WITH A TEMPER

"This administration has been by far the most incompetent, inept, and with more moral cowardice, and obsequiousness to their wealthy contributors, and obliviousness to the public interest of any administration in modern history, and probably in the entire history of the country!" - Al Gore, November 2006

I'd say a storm is coming!

IT'S MORE THAN A BRAND NEW DAY

Take The Power Back

The painful 12  year reign of Republican rule within the people's own house is over. The evil of single party control was vanquished last night.  Rage has come to the corrupt immoral machine that is the NeoCon movement.  Not a single Democratic incumbent lost his seat, protected, insulated, shielded, by a benevolent and enlightened population.

A massive shift of power has been wrangled from the enablers of torture, corruption, and constitutional abuse. America is now free to shine the light of truth upon a dark administration working against it’s own people to provide opportunity for corporatists.

Bigotry, deception, and ignorance have finally been rejected in America. A hint of PEACE is in the air.

Long live enlightenment!
