I am so tired of this phony debate. The employees of the US government don't have the right to kill one more person, commit one more kidnapping or act of torture against the people of Iraq - or to spend one more taxed dollar doing so either. No right. Is that not simple enough? Brad Blog has the video (about 1/3 into it) of some of the atrocities of last November, which was, at least, more peaceful than the November before that.

Watch the whole thing here.

via Crooks and Liars. I love it - Herskowitz, O'Neill, and Clarke are all liars, you are all stupid, and the war will last at least another 3 years. Note to self, when in trouble, refer to your list of "safe" reporters. Update: Newshounds skewers the Fox New hacks who attempted to smear Thomas.

How many times did you hear some idiot say this in the waning months of 2002 and beginning of 2003? How many of you believe that 25% support for a war in our great "democracy" ought to indicate that the end of it is near? It's not. Of course, the word has been out on the 14 "enduring bases" for two years, but there is a lot of conflicting information around, like this story from last week where Bush said the mission would be "turned over" to the Iraqis by the end of the year. Now he's being a...

Cheney that is. Is he above the law?

Why is it up to Russ Feingold to call for censure of the President (which really just amounts to an unconstitutional bill of attainder with no penalty) for using the military to tap our phones? Why is he all alone? The entire Senate ought to be voting for a resolution calling for the House to hurry and pass up some articles of impeachment for them to convict and remove on. These folks are supposedly our representatives up there, and what do we get? A bunch of nothing. According to Craig...

"Eh, what are you gonna do?" - Homer Simpson Tuesday's KAOS Report here (at the bottom).

Even though it's really all the State's fault that they did not go to the FISA court and get permission to search Zacharias Moussaoui's computer until after the 9/11 attacks, it is true that he was in custody, had knowlege of at least some of the hijackers, and failed to give warning. For this the man should hang, but some stupid lawyer for the TSA had to screw all that up by sending detailed notes on how to testify to all the government witnesses in the sentencing. She is now getting a paid...

While President Bush was threatening Iran on Monday, he blamed the Iraqi Shi'ites and Iran for the insurgency. According to the AFP, Bush said that: "Tehran has been responsible for at least some of the increasing lethality of anti-coalition attacks by providing Shia militia with the capability to build improvised explosive devices in Iraq." I know what you're thinking: President Bush is so stupid that giant mistakes like this should just be taken with a grain of salt. Even if he's lashing out...

That's it folks. It's time to stop pretending that this is America anymore. It's not. After 60 years of the postwar Anglo-American empire, the Declaration of Independence has finally been formally annulled by the crime ring currently cloaking itself in the forms of a long-lost Republic. According to Stars and Stripes, the American mission in Afghanistan is to be run by the Redcoats. "STAVANGER, Norway

The Toledo Blade is reporting that the US Marine Corps is again conducting urban warfare training exersizes in the streets of the USA, this time attacking downtown office buildings in Toledo, Ohio. Are we to believe that this is to help them in their imperial mission overseas? That downtown office buildings in Ohio more closely resemble the terrain in Iraq than custom built taxpayer set pieces on the hundreds of bases around this country? Or is it simply that they want the soldiers and...

Dr. Paul's press man, Jeff Deist informs me that the one good congressman has easily survived a primary challenge by Frank Sinatra's daughter-in-law, Cynthia. The GOP always tries to thwart my man in the primaries, but it never works. Liberty still sells in Texas. From The Facts: "ANGLETON
