OMG Matrixrose, that was too nasty against idiot Bush. Bush deserves no sympathy but he will break into tears if he hears things as such from a learned - democratic - scholar;) ''The criminal assault against Saddam and other anti-colonialist liberation forces in the middle East, such as al-Qaida, is clearly a white, racist, and Eurocentric plot to put down the Islamic liberation movement that has established itself as the rightful non-Western alternative to the sexist, homophobic, and theocratic idea of "democracy" preached in the West, which is only a smokescreen for the exploitation of women and people of colour.'' Like a version of a Jihadist here.Is there a more sexist idea in any theocracy than islam? Where are women exploited more than in the muslim world? ''While the nation was distracted by the ideological myth of "terrorism", Bush gave himself more power than Hitler or Stalin ever had.'' Agreed but ''Dissenters are being executed in the streets even as the masses are deluded into believing that the Constitution- which itself never did anything except secure the tyranny of the white redneck ruling class- is still in force. The Holocaust-like persecution of progressives goes hand-in-hand with the brutal repression of liberation forces under the rhetoric of terror associated with the myth of "terrorism"- a form of hate speech invoked to demonize demands by women and members of oppressed groups for equality against the oppressor. '' Blatant accusation here again. ''Bush wants to divert attention away from how people in such well-regulated, free, and efficient countries like France and Canada get free health care at no public or private cost whereas in America, if your child gets sick the Department of Homeland Security shoots it with privately-owned unregistered handguns and sells the body to the capitalist who takes it to the dog-food factory. '' Well said but down in the future, Americans will be glad to discover that Bush did well to preserve American supremacy in the world at the cost of free public health care. When the world will be in the brink of running out of fossil fuels, Americans will be the least affected people in the whole world. Without Bush's foreign policy that wouldn't be the case. As we cannot imagine the ideal world where the Jihadists and the Crusaders can't live in harmony, the christiandom will be thankful to Bush's policy one day. Which will prove that Bush is doing the best thing for the Americans;) BTW, it was amazing to see Hugo Chavez being a superhit and Bush a superflop in Argentina. It may be true in the American continent but again Bush is doing whats needed to be done for the American interests.That is what a head of state should do for his state.

OH YEA BUSH IS SMART HAI.....and yea who doesnt know that the price of Freedom must be payed in blood hai.....thus, all these propaganda reports by Saddam's agents in the US and Europe concerning so called civilian casualties only go to show how much more free the Iraqi people will eventually be. The benevolent American military regime that the Iraqis truly want will only further increase this Iraqi respect for freedom. The introduction of heretofore banned foodstuffs such as Bagels and Latkes will bring a heartfelt love for Israel to the Iraqi people. As well, the Iraqis will soon learn to love American fast food, such as cheetos and ding dongs, and will thus be weaned away from terrorist foods such as the bomb-shaped falafel. wwowowoooooooooo yea kid baby kid and that all you want....lol

James Carroll: Deconstructing Cheney By James Carroll The Boston Globe TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2005 BOSTON The indictment of the vice president's chief of staff for perjury and obstruction of justice is an occasion to consider just how damaging the long public career of Richard Cheney has been to the United States. He began as a political scientist devoted to caring for the elbow of Donald Rumsfeld. As a congressman, Rumsfeld had reliably voted against programs to help the nation's poor, so (as I recalled in reading James Mann's "Rise of the Vulcans") it was with more than usual cynicism that Richard Nixon appointed him head of the Office of Economic Opportunity, the antipoverty agency. Rumsfeld named Cheney as his deputy, and the two set out to gut the program - the beginning of the Republican rollback of the Great Society, what we saw in New Orleans this fall. When Rumsfeld became Gerald Ford's White House chief of staff, he again tapped Cheney as his deputy. Now they set out to destroy d?tente, the fragile new relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. Dismissing d?tente as moral relativism, Cheney so believed in Cold War bipolarity that when it began to melt in the late 1980s, he tried to refreeze it. As George H.W. Bush's secretary of defense, Cheney was key to America's refusal to accommodate the hopeful new spirit of the age. Violence was in retreat, with peace breaking out across the globe, from the Philippines to South Africa, Ireland, the Middle East and Central America. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, Cheney forged America's response - which was, little over a month later, to wage an illegal war against Panama. As Mikhail Gorbachev presided over the nonviolent dismantling of the Soviet Union, Cheney warned Bush not to trust it. When the justification for the huge military machine over which Cheney presided disappeared, he leapt on the next casus belli - Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Hussein, a former ally, was now Hitler. Against Cheney's own uniformed advisers (notably including Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell), he forged Washington's choice of violence over diplomacy. The first Gulf War, remembered by Americans as justified, was in fact an unnecessary affirmation of military might as the ground of international order, just as an historic alternative was opening up. U.S. responses in that period, mainly shaped by Cheney, stand in stark contrast to Gorbachev's, who, refusing to call on military might even to save the Soviet Union, was ordering his soldiers back to their barracks. The unsentimental Cheney, eschewing human rights rhetoric, was explicit in defining America's Gulf War interest as all about oil. (The oil industry having made Cheney rich.) Cheney's initiatives, more than any other's, defined the insult to the Arab world that spawned Al Qaeda. With all of this as prelude, it seems as tragic as it was inevitable that Cheney was behind the wheel again when the next fork in the road appeared before the nation. When the World Trade Center towers were hit in New York, it was Cheney who told a shaken President George W. Bush to flee. The true nature of their relationship (Cheney, not Bush, having shaped the national security team; Cheney, not Bush, having appointed himself as vice president) showed itself for a moment. The 9/11 Commission found that, from the White House situation room, Cheney warned the president that a "specific threat" had targeted Air Force One, prompting Bush to spend the day hiding in the bunker at Offut Air Force Base in Nebraska. There was no specific threat. In Bush's absence, Cheney, implying an authorizing telephone call from the president, took command of the nation's response to the crisis. There was no authorizing telephone call. The 9/11 Commission declined to make an issue of Cheney's usurpation of powers, but the record shows it. At world-shaping moments across a generation, Cheney reacted with an instinctive, This is war! He helped turn the War on Poverty into a war on the poor. He helped keep the Cold War going longer than it had to, and when it ended (because of initiatives taken by the other side), Cheney refused to believe it. To keep the U.S. war machine up and running, he found a new justification just in time. With Gulf War I, Cheney ignited Osama bin Laden's burning purpose. Responding to 9/11, Cheney fulfilled bin Laden's purpose by joining him in the war of civilizations. Iraq, therefore (including the prewar deceit for which Scooter Libby takes the fall), is simply the last link in the chain of disaster that is the public career of Richard Cheney.

When will they indict Karl Rove?If they do.He is no less accountable than"scooter-Libby" "You reap what you sow". The senior military intelligence officers now have come to conclude the Bush's pre-war claim about Iraq-AQ link was misleading.ROFL. Who are you trying to fool anyways?

Congress's sham savings The New York Times TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2005 That rare creature, the moderate Republican lawmaker, is suddenly in sight, forcefully objecting to the U.S. House of Representatives leadership's abominable package of budget cuts for the poor and environmental licentiousness for the energy industry. The five-year, $54 billion proposal is headed for a floor vote this week disguised as an overdue act of fiscal responsibility and government savings. In truth, it is so over-the-top in its inequities and giveaways that embarrassed moderates are actually rebelling, withholding support unless some of the more outrageous measures - like despoiling the Alaska wildlife refuge with oil drilling - are killed. The Republican-led Senate has already approved its own $35 billion budget-cutting measure that seems a model of moderation compared with the House's proposed mayhem. It is important to understand, however, that neither approach delivers the net savings being grandly claimed. An additional $70 billion worth of upper-bracket tax cuts heavily backed by the White House are waiting in the wings and will drive the deficit even deeper across generations of taxpayers. The administration and congressional leaders arranged separate votes on the two halves of the budget to obscure the full picture. The tax-cut madness mocks the budget-hawk posture the congressional Republicans will be claiming in the next elections. Taxpayers once wooed with promises of compassionate conservatism should pay close attention to details of the rival budget plans. Chief among them is the House's mean-spirited cut of $12 billion in Medicaid access and benefits for the poor. It would invite budget-stressed states to levy health care co-payments and pass tougher workfare rules while crimping child care, food stamps and other anti-poverty programs. The far saner Senate approach is to largely spare Medicaid but squeeze bloat from Medicare in the form of a notorious $10 billion "stabilization fund" for providers that Congress's own advisory panel has warned is a windfall gimmick. President George W. Bush is threatening to veto the entire bill over this, but the Senate should stand fast. The conservative bloc has used the unexpected costs of Hurricane Katrina to justify its sudden clamor for budget slashing. But that doesn't hold up to its actions. The Senate began the budget process with estimates that $9 billion was needed for emergency Medicaid for thousands of hurricane victims and refugees. But the White House forced the Senate to cut that to $1.8 billion in the actual budget bill. And for all the post-Katrina vows to boost emergency winter heating subsidies as oil prices spiked, the Senate approved only the $2.2 billion that was planned before the hurricane hit. The Senate deserves credit for eliminating a major cotton support program, one of the many agricultural subsidies that allow American corporate farmers to sell products overseas at well below the cost of production and squeeze the living out of farmers in the poorest countries on earth. But its approval of the Alaska oil-drilling foray is a grave misstep. It will be made worse by the House's destructive plan to revive off-shore oil drilling and allow an environmental rip-off through the sale of public lands to developers at bargain prices. Once the House passes its version of the spending bill, an even wilier form of budget politics will follow - the final, closed bargaining of conferees from the House and Senate. House leaders might easily jettison Alaska drilling to appease moderates this week, while counting on the Senate bargainers to keep it in final compromise. It will be a test, too, of the Senate's more responsible budgeting to see if its negotiators allow the House to prevail on things like food stamps and Medicaid. There was not much comfort in the vote in the Senate last week to defeat a proposal to restore the pay-as-you go discipline - spending balanced with adequate revenue flow - that produced surpluses in the 1990s. This Congress helped kill off those surpluses, but even Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve, has come round to warning lawmakers against cutting taxes by increasing the already damaging budget deficit.

Ironicially enough, the best thing the US could have done is to drop the sanctions and treat Hussein as it did in the 1980s: as a business partner in the struggle against radicalism in the region....instead of all this show...

Three more years of Bush The New York Times WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2005 After President George W. Bush's disastrous visit to Latin America, it's unnerving to realize that his presidency still has more than three years to run. An administration with no agenda and no competence would be hard enough to live with on the domestic front. But the rest of the world simply can't afford an American government this bad for that long. In Argentina, Bush could barely summon the energy to chat with the 33 other leaders there, almost all of whom would be considered friendly to the United States under normal circumstances. He and his delegation failed to get even a minimally face-saving outcome at the collapsed trade talks and allowed a loudmouthed opportunist like the president of Venezuela to steal the show. It's amazing to remember that when Bush first ran for president, he bragged about his understanding of Latin America, his ability to speak Spanish and his friendship with Mexico. The central problem is not Karl Rove or Treasury Secretary John Snow or even Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary. It is Bush himself. Second terms may be difficult, but the chief executive still has the power to shape what happens. Ronald Reagan managed to turn his messy second term around and deliver - in great part through his own powers of leadership - a historic series of agreements with Mikhail Gorbachev that led to the peaceful dismantling of the Soviet empire. Bush has never demonstrated the capacity for such a comeback. Nevertheless, every American has a stake in hoping that he can surprise us. The place to begin is with Dick Cheney, the dark force behind many of the administration's most disastrous policies, like the Iraq invasion and the stubborn resistance to energy conservation. Right now, the vice president is devoting himself to beating back congressional legislation that would prohibit the torture of prisoners. This is truly a remarkable set of priorities: His former chief aide is under indictment, Cheney's back is against the wall - and he's declared war on the Geneva Conventions. Bush cannot fire Cheney, but he could do what other presidents have done to vice presidents: keep him too busy attending funerals to do more harm. Bush would still have to turn his administration around, but it would at least send a signal to the nation and the world that he is in charge, and the next three years might not be as dreadful as they threaten to be.

Nice article about Bush's state of his image especially the administration's image next door.It was a misunderstanding to the latin American's part that simply Bush spoke their language didn't make him their well wisher. Bush's republican party is ran by far-right christian conservatives and corporate hawks like Dick Cheney.These folks will do anything to their cause of greedy consumerism and their desire to maintan the super-power image of American empirialism.The battle that started in Seattle streets in 1999 against WTO,the world bank or the IMF was a reminder to the multinational corporations that make profits exploiting poor third world societies shoud not lose its appeal.Last week the world was reminded again that YES our against you and political leaders like Bush who endorse you is still on.As a Nepali who comes from what they have labeled us (after we were cheated by our own leaderships that are good at kissing rear-ends of whoever happens to represent America and their hollow policies of greed)so called third world we should not ignore the voices of justice that emerged from the streets of Buones-Aires or simply we will be blind of the illusion that our leaders are suffering from at this point.

Yeah I hear you loud and clear Izen ! There was a saying that went something like," IN THE BALANCE OF THE YING AND THE YANG, if someone is getting rich- that person is taking away from someone else. True defination of PROFIT-gaining at the expense of someone's loss. Bush needs to clean his house like Regan did. Its pretty evident in yesterday's eletion(dems cashed in 2 governoer seats), the govna that Bush personally went to rally for last week LOST. If we will see next yr the actual after effect of people's anger. he he

I didn't initially thought or predicted Bush was going to be the major reason behind the fall of the last empire in the world's history.But with his miscalculations of balance of power and his lack of vision for global good we have arrived where the falling down of latest Rome is clearly seen. May be to some America represents "the shining house on the hill" but with greedy US based corporation that are pre-occupied with only making profits in the expense of the backward societies I think administration should re-think its policies. There is no fair game in their marketing culture.The recent gubernatorial elections and their victories in the hands of democrats is just an example.Reagan was probably better than Bush 43 but he did supplied weapons to Saddam Hussein in Iran-Iraq war. And who are they fighting now? Iraq.ha-ha Who are you trying to fool anyways?
