NOVEMBER IS A REFERENDUM ON IMPEACHMENT ... do your part.

Mantra of the Insane Bush Regime:
War is good business, we must make more money... who cares if poor
people die... we are getting richer than God.... Money is all that
matters.... money going into our pockets... God Bless Us.. to Hell with
anyone who thinks otherwise.
(when you hear your tiny conscience trying to wake you up repeat the
mantra until it dies ... again)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bush has lied the world into war... Clearly he is not scared of
terrorism, what he is afraid of is IMPEACHMENT... that is the only
chance americans have to getting criminal prosecution, criminal
prosectuion that will drain the Bush Crime Family Coffers of all the
money they have been able to steal from americans and the world for
decades.
That Rove is getting off (so far) for what is fundamentally HIGH
TREASON means that the Bush Regime has gone beyond "corrupt president"
levels into the realm of Hitler Totalitarian Dictators.
It will not be easy getting america to wake up and vote out all the
Republicans this fall, paving the way for impeachment, the Bush Regime
has just about strangled U.S. democracy out of existence(eg the lie
that the right-wing monopoly controlled commercial media is "liberal"
has been repeated on that same media so often that some people actually
think it is true... you want to hear what the truth sounds like try NPR
or Pacifica radio ) It is not enough to have a lead in the polls there
must be a lead of outrageous proportions...Why? because the voting
machines will be rigged (there is a strong argument that they were the
last two elections as well.)

Bush's Baghdad Photo-op
By Mike Whitney
George Bush loves playing the war president.
He loves strutting across an aircraft carrier in a tight-fitting
jump-suit or dropping in on the new Iraqi Premier, al-Maliki for a few
hours of chummy bravado.
He loves showing Papa-Bush that he can hang in there when things get
tough and that he won't be pushed around by those niggling nay-sayers
in the Congress.
Unfortunately, things are quickly unraveling in Iraq and, by many
accounts, the war is already lost.
Conservatives are jumping off the bandwagon faster than liberals and
Bush's approval ratings continue to plummet.
Retired General William Odom summarized the Iraq adventure best when he
said, "It is the greatest strategic disaster in US history."
Bush's photo-op in Baghdad only proves the wisdom of Odom's judgment.
What looked like a triumphant visit by the Commander-in-Chief to the
heart of a war zone, was actually a desperate attempt to garner support
for a failed mission.
The details of Bush's Baghdad-junket are similar to his trip to England
last year, when he was surrounded by a phalanx of 3,500 fully armed
security guards who shadowed his every move from the time he touched
down until the final lift-off.
All the while, a squadron of Apache helicopters and F-16s kept circling
overhead to ensure the Dear Leader's safety.
Providing security in Iraq has been an equally daunting task.
Three years after "Mission Accomplished", the U.S. still does not
control one inch of territory beyond the pockmarked parapets and block
walls of their Baghdad fortress.
Even inside the Green Zone, security is so stretched that Bush had to
be spirited out of the country just 5 hours after arrival.
What does that tell the world about the magnitude of America's failure?
Bush would never have risked driving through the battered landscape of
downtown Baghdad.
Instead, he limited his movements to one small dot on the map in an
ocean of resistance; Bush's citadel of "democracy".
"My message to the Iraqis is this," Bush boomed.
"We're going to help you succeed. My message to the enemy is: Don't
count on us leaving before we succeed. My message to our troops is: We
support you 100%. Keep doing what you're doing. And my message to the
critics is: We listen very carefully and adjust, and adjust when we
need to adjust."
Bush's promises are absurd given the enormity of the catastrophe he has
created.
By every objective standard, things were better under Saddam.
The media gobbled up Bush's photo-op with their customary zeal.
The visit was yet another successful Rove-coup that probably nudged
Bush's approval ratings upward, but achieved nothing substantive.
The pictures of smiley-faced politicians glad-handing and
chest-thumping appeared on the front pages of every newspaper in the
country.
They added to the festive atmosphere that began with the killing of
terrorist-mastermind Abu al Zarqawi.
By all accounts, it was a good week for the Team Bush.
But the war won't be won by the White House public relations team and
people are increasingly suspicious of Bush's diversionary publicity
stunts like his unannounced trip to Baghdad.
The long litany of war crimes is finally wearing away at the fragile
American psyche.
Haditha, Falluja, Abu Ghraib; these are the names that will forever
identified with Iraq and engraved in the public's consciousness.
Their scars are bound to be felt long after the war is over.
Brand Bush is now irreversibly linked to criminal renditions, abusive
treatment of prisoners, and massive slaughter.
Nothing Rove does will remove the stain of those atrocities from
America's reputation.
