No incompetent Cabinet secretary left behind.
After lauding Rumsfeld on Friday, President Bush’s appearance today with Treasury Secretary John Snow “may be intended to send a message to Snow’s critics in Washington and on Wall Street that Bush isn’t letting this top Cabinet secretary go anytime soon, either,” NBC reports.

The Unqualified Sycophants of America.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:24 amLets see if these words can help change Americas Mind about this Neo-Con, Christian Zionist War [PNAC, AEI, Falwell, North, Moral Majority]. Because thats what this is about.
—————
Gary North a prolific Christian Reconstruction writer points out in The Unannounced Reason Behind American Fundamentalism’s Support for the State of Israel: In order for most of today’s Christians to escape physical death, two-thirds of the Jews in Israel must perish, soon. This is the grim prophetic trade-off that fundamentalists rarely discuss publicly, but which is the central motivation in the movement’s support for Israel. It should be clear why they believe that Israel must be defended at all costs by the West.
—————–
The Crazies Indeed. Nevertheless theReal Christians should be very concerned at these peoples use of politics and religion to try and “CREATE” a Prophecy. The ‘Moral Majority’ is basically bringing poor jews from Europe and the Soviet Union, and Financing the buidlings, to “BRING” actually Buy their way to Israel so they can become cannon Fodder.

Colin Powell had it right, the ‘Crazies’. Falwell and his followers are on whats basically a Hitler-esque “Death for Christians” Campaign of Money and Politics.
“The lust of money is the root of all Evil”
April 17th, 2006 at 11:34 amAnd I’m Glad I have no part of this, because if their is a God that will Smack you Down, it will surely be these Falwellians that take the Hit. I would be very Scared Mr Falwell.
What does any endorsement mean when it comes from someone who has consistently shown they can not be trusted, and the two worse events they were absent – 7 minutes sitting in a classroom while we were being attacked, vacationing/campaigning while the Gulf was being hit. Really, when you thinkg about it, the only think Bush seems to be able to do is rally in people and ask for, is fear.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:35 am(4) Legend has it that Henry Kissinger describes Rumsfeld as “the most ruthless man he ever met.”
April 17th, 2006 at 11:36 am#5 – Wow, that’s really saying something. Scary.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:39 am(4) Legend has it that Henry Kissinger describes Rumsfeld as “the most ruthless man he ever met.”
——
In 1984, according to The LA Times, the State Department—in the name of “increased American penetration of the extremely competitive civilian aircraft marketâ€â€”pushed through the sale of 45 Bell 214ST helicopters to Iraq. The helicopters, worth some $200 million, were originally designed for military purposes. The New York Times later reported that Saddam “transferred many, if not all [of these helicopters] to his military.â€
In 1988, Saddam’s forces attacked Kurdish civilians with poisonous gas from Iraqi helicopters and planes. U.S. intelligence sources told The LA Times in 1991, they “believe that the American-built helicopters were among those dropping the deadly bombs.â€
In response to the gassing, sweeping sanctions were unanimously passed by the US Senate that would have denied Iraq access to most US technology. The measure was killed by the republican White House. (2)
As a result of the openings created by Rumsfeld’s diplomatic triumphs, U.S. companies were recruited and encouraged, both covertly and overtly, to ship poisonous chemicals and biological agents to Iraq, by the administrations of both Reagan and George Bush Sr. Care packages to Saddam included sample strains of anthrax and bubonic plague, and components which would be used to develop nerve poisons like sarin gas and ricin. That’s where Rummy’s connections to major pharmaceutical and technology companies came into play. (4)

Republicans Strong on National Security??
Hardly, they would sell Hamas the vests to blow up Americans with if it profited George, Cheney’s and Rummies Cronies.
Welcome to the Corporate Stupocracy. Corporations sponsor the dumbest candidate in order to generate short term profits and never mind the long term fallout.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:41 amRummy saves the world!
April 17th, 2006 at 11:55 amFinially one of the Bush insiders makes known the truth about why we are attacking the middle east countries ITS ALL ABOUT THE OIL. The invasion of Iraq and Afgan had nothing to do with Bin Ladin, Saddam, terrorist or WMDs it was a plan to take control of the middle east oil for money not to save people. Now we know the real reasons but these guys aren’t smart enough to get away with it. The middle east leaders are smarter then our current Administration. Our govenment is dealing with world problems like we did during the days of FDR other countries are leading with problems on a up to date level. Notice how old and old thinking Rummy is he’s like reading a history book from 1920’s and no one wants to hear Bush say ” Your doing a great job” that means you stink.
April 17th, 2006 at 12:01 pm‘….and if the people running the war are completely wrong, I will still back them because that is how stupid I am.’ GWB
April 17th, 2006 at 12:28 pm“Great job, Snowy”
Well since we’re all going to get dragged along with them to h-e-l-l,
I wish he’d hurry up about it, cause the sooner we get there,
the sooner we can start crawling back home?
The next three years: What a long strange trip it’s gonna be!
April 17th, 2006 at 1:30 pmuncle t – i’m afraid i am confused by this: “In order for most of today’s Christians to escape physical death, two-thirds of the Jews in Israel must perish, soon…It should be clear why they believe that Israel must be defended at all costs by the West.”
not clear at all, or i’m missing something – very possible…
April 17th, 2006 at 2:03 pmbut, it seems if “christians” want to escape physical death they would want to HASTEN the demise of jews, not defend israel…not?…what?…eh?…
Deja’ Vu! Just like last time! Still can’t find anyone who wants the job. Good thing GWB was able to ‘talk’ him out of leaving, as he had planned. (Snicker, snort)
April 17th, 2006 at 2:06 pmKaty, I think it also has something to do with the Jews actually being in the holy land. Have to get all the Jews to Israel before we can off them. That is the gist of it I think.
