		<description>Marie, they&#039;ve been right on one thing - lie often enough and consistently enough and you&#039;ll all buy it. Thanks a lot. I used to think Americans were quaint in their ignorance - its not so quaint now. How do we fight these bastards?</description>

		<description>Name ONE thing that the Bushies have been right on.  One thing that they have done that has benefitted America as a whole.  They are failures -- all of them -- and they are running the country off the road and into the ditch.</description>

		<description>For more background on what I call &quot;the other intelligence failure&quot; go to my blog.  It has all the background on the Bushies&#039; prewar claims about reconstruction costs and their postwar lies about why they were so far off the mark.

Just click on my username.

		<description>That put me in my place. They even took pictures of all the places they visited to get the real story: coalition hq, camp victory, and the green zone. No wonder I didn&#039;t hear about it. The MSM doesn&#039;t report all the good things happening within the green zone and other high-security areas.</description>

		<description>Cynical, they&#039;ve gone and come back

http://www.buzzpatterson.com/main.asp

Buzz Is Home From Iraq! 
Buzz and 6 other radio hosts have returned from their week of speaking with troops, broadcasting live, and delivering the message Liberal Media won&#039;t! It was a fantastic opportunity to see our men and women in action; defending us and helping the Iraqi&#039;s with their democracy.

Thank you to Stafford Hospitality in Tifton, Georgia, The 
Quorum Resort in Tampa, FL and Stiles Travel in Sacramento, CA for your exceptional support!!

You can see reports and pictures of their historic trip at 
www.rightalk.com and www.voicesofsoldiers.com. A short video is also available at techlily.com/videocards/danh/Soldiers_Voice.html.

Cynical, let&#039;s see if you&#039;re still so cynical after seeing and hearing the truth about how our troops are defending us and helping Iraqis with their democracy, after a short message from our sponsor -- Halliburton, where looting the treasury isn&#039;t just a figure of speech.</description>

		<description>Mikey, you are absolutely right on. I would guess 99% of the money is going straight from the Treasury straight to Halliburton, Custer Battles, Bechtel. I guess some is going offshore - to the various Caribbean tax shelters. The only thing ending up in Iraq are Happy Meals for the troops and DU shells for the locals.</description>
