ThinkFast PM: July 7, 2006
A daily Iraq intelligence brief prepared for the U.S. military by a private contractor paints a wrenching picture: “Baghdad looks so exhausted these days and so do her people; the relentless violence, the lack of basic services and the scorching heat abolishes human desire to do anything or to even think of anything.”
$2.94: The average national price for a gallon of gas, the highest of the year.
“Why are Bush supporters celebrating today’s leak of classified information?” Glenn Greenwald asks about today’s leak of the FBI arrests of alleged terrorists, which reportedly “compromised the FBI’s relationship with some foreign intelligence services.”
The Atlantic Monthly blogs the Aspen Ideas Festival.
“Arrogance, secrecy, and bad judgment have mired us in a mess in Guantanamo from which we are having great difficulty in extricating ourselves,” writes U.S. Army Gen. (Ret.) Barry R. McCaffrey in a report on his recent trip to Guantanamo Bay.

July 7th, 2006 at 7:35 pmOUCH!
I thought 3.00 on good ‘ol Cape Cod was bad!
You’re in CA, right?
Just one of the many problems that our cocaine sniffing alcoholic president has failed to SOLVE. But, being the great solver that he is, he has a little over two years to get it done.
The odds are 10 – 1 that he gets nothing done, or rather nothing solved.
July 7th, 2006 at 7:39 pm“compromised FBI relationships”? Screw your head back on. The only relationship the FBI had with anyone in this dreary propaganda ploy was as agent provocateurs. Okay, now all at once, put your thumbs in your ears, wiggle your fingers, and crow, “Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!” You’re as pathetic as they are.
July 7th, 2006 at 7:43 pmRebel,
He’s a decider, not a solver……….. remember that.
He just decides to continue this asinine war, decides to continue to kill the earth, decides to keep letting big oil make their OBSCENE profits off off the little guys….etc,etc,etc….
July 7th, 2006 at 7:44 pm“Why are Bush supporters celebrating today’s leak of classified information?â€
Because leaks of information that show the extent of this administration’s illegal activities are bad, unpatriotic, and treasonous.
Leaks are only good when they prop up Pres Bush’s image in his followers’ eyes, or when they discredit a political opponent.
In the eyes of Bush cultists, Pres Bush has come to equate country. Institutions and laws be damned.
July 7th, 2006 at 7:45 pmIt is only the New York Times that gets bitch-slapped by the White House and its minions.
July 7th, 2006 at 7:47 pmWhy is this “leak” which disrupted an ongoing investigation not condemned; why is not the paper condemned and accused of treason.
The blatant double standard employed at all times by Bushco is astonishing – and equally astonishing is the muted report of the apparent contradiction.
Who leaked this story prematurely? The FBI to improve their reputation? The White House itself? Would their involvement explain the non-criticism?
$2.94…maybe we should sell our cars.

July 7th, 2006 at 8:52 pmAny Election Is NOT Fair, IF Counting Is Fraudulent!
Friday 7th of July 2006
by Jay Randal
The recent election in Mexico causes turmoil, because the counting of the ballots is fraudulent, and the elite demanding their stooge Felipe Calderon the winner!
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has most likely won the election fair and square, but the ballots are NOT being properly counted by the Election Commission!
And since the Bush Regime/GOP sent agents of fraud, like Dick Morris to Mexico, to manipulate the system for Calderon, the election has been completely tainted!
This reminds me of the 2000 presidential election, in Florida: VP Al Gore clearly would have won, if all the ballots had been counted fairly, but Dubya cheated!
Gore was ridiculed by the press for being a spoil sport, just like the press is doing to Obrador now in Mexico, but Bush in 2000 and Calderon NOW are swindlers!
Americans must demand fair elections in US and Mexico!
( Jay Randal, political activist and writer in Stone Mountain, Georgia.)
PS: Obrador is calling for massive protests throughout Mexico tomorrow!

July 7th, 2006 at 11:36 pm….and yet the Navy just named a corpsman from JTF Gitmo as the new Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. How’s that for a leadership exemplar for the troops and sailor, a freaking war criminal promoted to the top enlist rung in the armed forces. Who says failure, sheer unmitigated, feculent failure doesn’t get rewarded?
BushCo’s eagerness to ‘prove’ how right they are about those “evildoers”, always plotting to harm us, was the cause of destroying another valuable intellegence gathering operation. England had an ‘insider’ informant, who was providing current information about what the terrorists were planning. But BushCo thought it was more important to reveal the existence of this informant, so they could boast about it, than to keep it quiet, and functional. Just like when they exposed Brewster Jennings, the CIA front group, to get revenge on Joe Wilson. The consequences of their glory grabbing ways are never considered. And they are far more destructive than pointing out BushCo’s lawbreaking actions. It’s only ‘bad’ if it makes them look bad, otherwise, who gives a poop? Lawdy, these people make me sick. They have a ‘gift’ for it.

No kidding. People pass on ’secrets’ to live longer but these guys try to do the opposite with tremedous difficulty!
Bad luck may have put these guys at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Or thees guys are really pure evil…..oh dear, we don’t even know why they are there!
July 8th, 2006 at 12:30 amthese supposed terrorists are just ninnies whom were monitored in a chat room.
Additionally, Giraldi stated that, “In sum, the plot, if that is what we would call it, was not well conceived, and there was no possibility of flooding Wall Street. There was no connection to a cell in the US. Finally, professional terrorists generally do not discuss targeting on open channels. As it was being monitored from the beginning of the open discussion, there was little chance anything concrete would have developed.”
‘Chatter’…Bush, and the punditry, haven’t used that word in a while, I wonder why they don’t call this “chatter”
Hate speech. It is not any different than what the coulter republicans say. They want to poison, kill and torture about 75% of the world including american judges……they are hate wackos.
July 8th, 2006 at 1:07 amOk Zooey (#30),
The vast majority of independent legal experts believes the NYT committed treason, while the Daily News acted patriotically, and may have saved millions of lives. 75% of US residents, and 99.99% of the rest of the world agrees. Of course you know, those 25% are leftist looneys, most of whom post here. Thus if you disclude them from the study, 100% of the rest of the world agrees. (110% of Norwegians).
I’d post the links to these studies, but you won’t bother reading them anyway. You’ll just try to demonize me.
Oh yea, and it’s colder here today than it was yesterday, so that proves global warming is a myth.
July 8th, 2006 at 1:19 amAccording to news reports, one of the men cast the diary into the flames and said: “I commit Anne Frank to the fire,” borrowing words used by the Nazis in 1933.
“All of us in Saxony-Anhalt are put to shame by this,” Wolfgang Boehmer, premier of Saxony-Anhalt, told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily on Friday.
Boehmer said the state would act decisively to prevent a repeat of the incident, which occurred at a summer solstice celebration in late June in the village of Pretzien. Details of the episode have emerged over the past week.
Known as “Anne Frank: the Diary of a Young Girl” in English, the work chronicles the Frankfurt-born Jewish girl’s period in hiding in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, and became one of the world’s most widely read books after it was published in 1947.
Juergen Falter, an expert on the far-right at the University of Mainz, said it was no accident the men targeted Anne Frank, who died aged 15 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, and Germany’s chief post-war occupying power, the United States.
July 8th, 2006 at 1:24 am~~~~~~~~~~————————————~~~~~~~~
radical right wing wackos.. sounds alot like those coulter republicans doesn’t it? go figure.
46, This makes perfect sense: you see, these people were part of a broader plot to abuse the attorney-client privilege. (The privilege that keeps all communications between and attorney and his/her client confidential.) In order to advance that plot they had to kill themselves. This was important, because 2 of the 3 suicide victims had yet to get access to an attorney.
YET, in discovering this plot, the Government was able to confiscate privileged communications! AND this comes at a most opportune time, as the Supreme Court has just ruled that the prisoners are entitled to a military tribunal where they would be allowed to see the evidence against them. SO now the Government has access to their confidential communications, while restricting access to their attorneys as they prepare for the military tribunals.
Yes, this makes perfect sense.
July 8th, 2006 at 1:28 amOf course you know, those 25% are leftist looneys, most of whom post here. Thus if you disclude them from the study, 100% of the rest of the world agrees. (110% of Norwegians).

If you have the statistics, link to where you got them from. Mouthing off percentages (particularly ones that look made up) doesn’t exactly give you a strong argument, unless you can back them up with where you got those percentages from.
I for one, do read the links posted by people, and frankly, Lily, your post makes you sound an awful lot like the ravings of a chronic victim.
July 8th, 2006 at 7:28 amMainly because I am bored, and am feeling offensive, lets take a look at one of the dumbest postings out, I mean, it is too frikking stupid to even qualify as being parody. Anyway
110% of Norweigans, means that more Norwegians agreed then actually exist. Further, the rest of these figures sound like outright made up statistics. Indeed the 75% is an awfully round number, and the 99.99% sounds an awful like a stupid dipshit trying to make up figures to support her argument. Indeed, there is nothing I view with greater contempt then someone lying to support their argument.
Oh, the poor victim, posts what appears to be a bunch of lies and then complains about how people are going to demonise her for them, while posting that she isn’t going to post links to her sources. Oh how my hear bleeds for the poor victim.
Yeah, and I have just eaten brunch, that means poverty in Africa is a myth too.

FRONT AND CENTER WASHINGTON POST TODAY:
U.S. and Russia to Enter Civilian Nuclear Pact
Bush Reverses Long-Standing Policy, Allows Agreement That May Provide Leverage on Iran
By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 8, 2006; Page A01
President Bush has decided to permit extensive U.S. civilian nuclear cooperation with Russia for the first time, administration officials said yesterday, reversing decades of bipartisan policy in a move that would be worth billions of dollars to Moscow but could provoke an uproar in Congress.
Bush resisted such a move for years, insisting that Russia first stop building a nuclear power station for Iran near the Persian Gulf. But U.S. officials have shifted their view of Russia’s collaboration with Iran and concluded that President Vladimir Putin has become a more constructive partner in trying to pressure Tehran to give up any aspirations for nuclear weapons.
….Environmentalists have denounced Russia’s plans to transform itself into the world’s nuclear dump. The country has a history of nuclear accidents and contamination. Its transportation network is antiquated and inadequate for moving vast quantities of radioactive material, critics say. And the country, they add, has not fully secured the nuclear facilities it already has against theft or accidents.
…Bush has an interest in taking the agreement all the way as well. His new Global Nuclear Energy Partnership envisions promoting civilian nuclear power around the world and eventually finding a way to reprocess spent fuel without the danger of leaving behind material that could be used for bombs. Until such technology is developed, Bush needs someplace to store the spent fuel from overseas, and Russia is the only volunteer.

Let’s NOT forget this:
Security Faulted at Nuclear Reactors
Plants Vulnerable to Terrorist Attacks, GAO Report Finds
by Keay Davidson
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has failed to take sufficient steps to protect commercial nuclear plants from terrorist attacks, the U.S. Government Accountability Office says.
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0915-20.htm
and:
U.S. Is Given Failing Grades By 9/11 Panel
Bipartisan Group Faults Counterterrorism Progress
The federal government received failing and mediocre grades yesterday from the former Sept. 11 commission, whose members said in a final report that the Bush administration and Congress have balked at enacting numerous reforms that could save American lives and prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/05/AR2005120500097.html
and:
Nuclear Plants Are Still Vulnerable, Panel Says
Three and a half years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the government has failed to address the risk that a passenger plane flying at high speed could be deliberately crashed into a commercial nuclear plant, setting off fires and dispersing large amounts of radiation, a long-awaited report by the National Academy of Sciences has concluded.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A32383-2005Apr6?language=printer
Let’s not forget this:
Security issues go beyond ports flap
Terrorists could turn a container itself into a weapon or use containers to import a dirty bomb or parts for a weapon they would assemble on our own shores or to transport terrorists themselves. Since many ports are located in large cities, the human toll of an attack could be devastating. One study found that a nuclear device detonated at a major seaport could kill from 50,000 to 1 million people.
….In addition to losing untold lives, an attack would bring our economy to a halt. After an incident, our government, in all likelihood, would immediately shut down U.S. seaports, just as it shut down the air transport system after Sept. 11. But shuttered seaports would take much longer to reopen, especially since we’d have to create a system for resuming trade on the spot — in a crisis atmosphere.
http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/052506/ss_murray.html
July 8th, 2006 at 8:36 amThe Bush administration doesn’t care about the safety of the American people. They want another attack. They simply use these “terror plot” announcements to scare the public into thinking that another 9/11 is imminent.

July 8th, 2006 at 10:29 amTrolls might make good pets. It is entertaining to watch them chase their own tales (correct spelling!). I think they don’t require food, just more hot air, to sustain themselves. On the other hand, I do have some concerns. They are definitely pack-oriented, breed profusely, and cannot be house-trained (or trained in any other fashion, I understand).

…i wonder if there will be such a high profile story when these hapless “terrorists”- who were SO dumb they divulged their intentions on the INTERNET- are released after charges are dropped…
…remember there have been numerous round ups by the Keystone Gonzales Justice Dept of al Qaeda terrorists…
…most notably in the Detroit area…
…who were later released without any prosecution…
…from the news stories I’ve seen there was NO operational activity going on with these internet chat room terror suspects, only- much like those florida dumb asses- “desire”…
…can these people be successfully prosecuted for basically espousing “ideology”?

July 8th, 2006 at 10:44 amResearch has clearly demonstrated that nothing shocks trolls. Now neutering…. There is some promising research that finds some trolls can be made more docile and manageable by 4-5 hours per day exposure to an image of Ann Coulter. Unfortunately, there is a horrible rebound effect and they become very belligerent later. And don’t even think about exposing them to Coulter’s words!
Zooey
The best parody on this site though has to go to ann coulter (the poster, not the pundit.)

Great idea. We should use a keyword in our posts though, just to be safe, and alert the non-trolls not to take it seriously.
Briseadh na Faire, I too loved your “price of gas” comment.
Bruce, no offense taken. I hope Cool Breeze comes back to read what was posted after his/hers. Not that I took offense there either, I just really want to let him/her know that “I don’t think an adult would make such a rediculous indefensible statement” could not be more true.

July 8th, 2006 at 11:02 am76, Remember Clockwork Orange? Psychological reprograming/conditioning to respond with overwhelming nausea: only instead of watching films of sex and violence, they would have to watch Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, George Bush and Dick Cheney speaches.
Then again, there’s the reprograming method in 1984: torture. They shouldn’t object, since they espouse the method for others.
July 8th, 2006 at 11:03 amSybil. please show me just one instance of me calling another TP poster a name.
And yes, on a post, someone made a reference to A Tale of Two Cities. I made a comment under Madame DeFarge, saying “Where are my knitting needles?” (I read your post rather late last night Being very tired, I couldn’t grasp who Madame DeBarge was.)
This hardly constitutes an impression. An impression means saying something in the spirit of, or reminiscent of the actions of another. Sort of like troll impressions.
So now please show me where I’ve done an impression of Madame DeFarge, or said anything even remotely resembling Dicken’s character.
July 8th, 2006 at 11:05 amOn those NYC tunnel terrorists, last night on the News Hour the NYC chief of police could not answer several questions about their whereabouts, indicating to me that this whole thing was interrupted early by something. As I recall, five of the eight are still at large.
July 8th, 2006 at 11:12 amThanks Bruce. But if I had done a really good impersonation, my post would had had to contain at least 3000 words. I honestly don’t know how said troll can type so much while saying so little, and making absolutely no sense.
July 8th, 2006 at 11:15 amwell, i hate to say “congratulations”, lily… it’s a low rung to aspire to, trolling, but that was a very good imitation! really had me fooled – i actually felt saddened – “what? i thought lily was on our side” … and the lily is my favorite flower, so i remembered your writings… whew!

Comment by Briseadh na Faire — July 8, 2006 @ 11:03 am
You wouldn’t actually have to touch them even, since they are so conditioned by fear, like a pack of Pavlov’s salivating dogs… Just work them up into enough of a fear frenzy by telling them what’s going to happen to them if they don’t comply.
Seixon is hiding in Norway from bin Laden out of fear of ‘terra’
Tracy supports a war on a country incapable of having attacked us with inert mustard gas shells out of fear of being a victim of an attack.
Mighty Anus parrots Rush Limbaugh talking points out of fear of being judged.
And the rest of them fear for their assorted reasons. But, it’s all fear based.
So, just threatening them with the thing they fear should do wonders. Let’s start with sightings of bin Laden in Oslo… then move on to sleeper cells in downtown Dallas… and then Jesus on tortillas, cheese sandwichs, and stone columns in every courthouse in San Diego. They’ll be too busy hiding under their beds to bother showing up here…
July 8th, 2006 at 11:37 amThe best parody on this site though has to go to ann coulter (the poster, not the pundit.)

July 8th, 2006 at 12:19 pmThat’s exactly what I thought you wanted to do a couple weeks ago when you were obsessing with Seixon.Now you’re commenting on his sleeping patterns.
unbelievable,
Just work them up into enough of a fear frenzy by telling them what’s going to happen to them if they don’t comply.
Kind of like “Bush is wiretapping your phone! Bush is going to send you to Gitmo!” huh? That kind of fear-mongering?
Seixon is hiding in Norway from bin Laden out of fear of ‘terra’
No I’m not, you liar. I came here before 9/11, sweetie. I have visited the US almost every year since then. Quit talking shit. Oh wait, shit is the only thing you speak, my bad.
And the rest of them fear for their assorted reasons. But, it’s all fear based.
That’s funny. What’s your view on the Bush administration and Republicans again? What did you say about me? I was your “enemy” and that you were at war with me? Hypocrisy must be a genetic defect in your family.
So, just threatening them with the thing they fear should do wonders.
“Bush administration looking at banking records” AAAAAHHHHH We’re all gonna die!!! lol
Let’s start with sightings of bin Laden in Oslo… then move on to sleeper cells in downtown Dallas… and then Jesus on tortillas, cheese sandwichs, and stone columns in every courthouse in San Diego. They’ll be too busy hiding under their beds to bother showing up here…
As opposed to you who constantly obsesses with the Republicans eating your children and torturing you at Gitmo… Yup, we’re the scared ones alright. You are more scared of the GOP than you are the terrorists who would love to slit your throat right this moment.
Randal,
Post 86 Sybil > do us all a favor and go marry Seixon in Norway > I hope you both live happily ever after > lol.
Wow, that wasn’t childish at all. “Why don’t you go marry him!” I think I heard that type of rhetoric back in kindergarden. Good job buddy!
July 8th, 2006 at 12:29 pmLOL Sybil > You are the one who defends Seixon on here all the time, so you are infatuated with him! I just mentioned that Norway is 6 hours later than the time posted on TP threads, so a 11PM post would be 5AM in Norway, or a 2AM post would be 8AM in Norway, etc.!

Yeah, real mature there Randal old chap.
By the way, you still don’t have my age right, even after obessing about me for weeks. Nor do you have any clue about when I get up, as I most certainly do not get up at 8am regularly. You’re obsessed with me but you are too ignorant to even get that right.
July 8th, 2006 at 12:44 pmSeixon:
By the way,I clicked on a few of the adverts over on your excellent web page.
July 8th, 2006 at 12:44 pmI hope that makes you some extra $$$.
Sybil,
Oh man, you should have never said that, they’re going to go bonkers now. Paying the bills isn’t allowed for us folks! The only moral thing is to have George Soros bankroll your web page! ;)
July 8th, 2006 at 12:46 pmLOL Sybil > if you want to know the time for any place in the world just google current time for that location! Norway is 6 hours later than Eastern Standard Time! Now go marry Seixon please or just have an affair or whatever > lol.

Now go marry Seixon please or just have an affair or whatever > lol.
Let me guess, you’re a kindergarden teacher? You should really be more proactive about the kids’ rhetoric rubbing off on you.
July 8th, 2006 at 12:49 pmSeixon > the 2006 Dagbladet article said you are 24, unless you just had another birthday which would make you 25?! I do not care when you awaken in Norway > just whenever you post its 6 hours later than the East Coast of the United States at that time!

July 8th, 2006 at 1:13 pmThese others are pretenders, they are not truly infatuated with you. They do not understand your greatness, your omniscience, as I do. They are not true Sons of Seixon. I await your words. Enlighten me. Tell me my heart. Tell me my thoughts. I am in the dark in this land of weakness. But I am now awakened. Forgive my former self. No longer shall I turn the other cheek, seek justice for the deserving oppressed, nor do anything against your will. Lead me, I pray.
Seixon,
I would be interested in seeing your webpage, what is the addy?
Sybil,
You missed the girls who post here, dangling their personal info in front of me, then acting spurned when I didn’t dive on it like the blog-geeks they are used to …
July 8th, 2006 at 1:16 pmRandal…
Says one thing… “I do not care when you awaken in Norway”
And does another… “Seixon troll is asleep in Norway till about 2 AM our East Coast time”
the 2006 Dagbladet article said you are 24, unless you just had another birthday which would make you 25
Here’s a crazy thought: what if the age on Dagbladet is just wrong? Wow!
Bruce,
Lets all agree to call off our private feuds, and just try to go back to arguing with each other’s points okay?
That’s the best damned idea I have read on Think Progress probably ever.

Randal,
No, I did not claim that Dagbladet gave out wrong information. The information there is wrong, but Dagbladet was not involved in it being wrong. Again, you are too illogical to think of all possibilities. You are a black/white guy. The truth is that it is showing wrong information due to a software bug. I wouldn’t expect you to understand.
Until today you said you were mad about us finding out about you from Dagbladet!
I never said I was mad about you finding out. I was mad because you felt it was appropriate to post the information here. I wouldn’t expect you to understand the difference though.

July 8th, 2006 at 3:15 pmThe “Liberal Media” on MSNBC
While it’s sometimes hard to decide which nonsensical Republican mantra has gotten the oldest, the constant whining from their side about the mythical “liberal media” certainly tops my list. We all know that FOX News is nothing more than a public-relations outlet for the GOP, but CNN and MSNBC do their best to show that the corporate media will almost always stay true to its conservative masters.
July 8th, 2006 at 3:19 pmI present as exhibit 2,938, the “Hot Shots” segment on MSNBC’s Hardball tonight. Who were the “hot shots” to present coherent analysis of the situation with North Korea and the Lieberman-Lamont race in Connecticut? The moderator was lovely, but dim, Norah O’Donnell or, as our friends at Crooks and Liars call her, “Noron.”
The panel consisted of former Republican Congressman and right-wing MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. He was joined by fellow conservative Tucker Carlson and, to round out the group, Rita Cosby who’s simply, well, an idiot.
Nice balance, huh? They could have at least borrowed Alan Colmes from Fox to make it look good.

July 8th, 2006 at 3:29 pmKaty: How much time did these “Three Stooges” spend trying to defend the dullard they try keeping propped up in the White House? The Bush Presidency is a train wreck of failed policy and false promise. This is my take on Hardball’s “Hot Stooges:” Joe would be MOE–the rugged task master, Tucker can be Larry–the dim-witted lame brain, and Rita, obviuosly, is Curly.
July 8th, 2006 at 3:29 pmI sure do hope that gas increases in price by about 50 cents to a dollar a gallon this week. It’s too inexpensive as it is right now at 3.05 a gallon.
Sixteen cups to a gallon. Sixteen times nineteen equals three hundred four. Therefore, you are paying nineteen cents per CUP of gasoline.
That should help you feel better. It’s cheaper by the cup.

July 8th, 2006 at 6:01 pmYou have described MSNBC hot shots perfectly!
What is that segment supposed to be anyway? They apparently get their jollies poking fun at all Democrats, criticizing democratic politics, and that Noron is even worse than Matthews – he spits and drools when he wants to get a word in with those losers on the panel, but Noron cannot disguise her contempt for any democrat, as she laughs her annoying laugh at her own witticisms.
Between Matthews/Noron/hotshots at MSNBC and breathless Wolfie B at CNN -it requires quite an effort to watch the news at that time — at 6PM, we prefer PBS with the News Hour.

July 8th, 2006 at 6:11 pmI think nearly everyone here feels great sadness and anger because of what has happened in Iraq. We have ruined the country; hope has given way to despair among the populace, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight for them.
“Progress” is not being made, no matter what BushCo says. A few hours of electricity per day, lack of proper sanitation and potable water, and the extreme danger of simply existing as an Iraqi is more than enough reason for the hopelessness.
To add insult to injury – the lack of resources isn’t hindering the military bases and the $580 million embassy that are being built.

Gas is expensive. Ain’t no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The taxes on gas in Europe approach 75 percent.

July 9th, 2006 at 6:45 pmRe: Lieberman: It boggles the mind how Lieberman has this many supporters both on the streets and in the Senate. But I have my own theories in open letter to Ned Lamont. I start off with a bizarre YouTube video that nonetheless becomes relevant after a short time.
I’ve been staying on the sidelines of this Lamont/Lieberman race because I live in Massachusetts but the support from the right wing punditocracy that’s been piled up behind Lieberman like old furniture frantically thrown up against a door is suspicious, at best.
In short, as Atrios, Kos and others have long since noticed, it’s become, while not bigger than the race itself, about more than the race. It’s about blind ideology and blind hatred of those who don’t share that ideology.
And I don’t think I’d be a very good blogger if I didn’t at least weigh in against this foolishness that we’re seeing from the right wing pundits.

”Ask, and ye shall receive”.
The dude is all-right.
July 10th, 2006 at 1:27 amIn fact, Seixon, I pointed to your posting of your own blog because you were making there a benefit for posting Republican talking points, specially the unscientific ones against Global Warming. I’m against unscientific and biased statements, not against blogs.

July 11th, 2006 at 2:19 amRESOLUTION OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF BACTERIA
We, the NOETB, formed in 1997 to meet the needs of the underrepresented and marginalized bacteria of the world. The discrimination against all forms of bacteria is as old as bacteria itself. It wasn’t too long ago that people actually accepted the existence of bacteria, which had been invisible for so long due to ignorance and denial. Since then, bacteria have entered the social consciousness of humanity, but still remain oppressed by a system that ignores and abuses them. When they tried to get attention by causing diseases, humanity reacted violently and created antibiotics to kill them off. Until the needs and concerns of bacteria are addressed, there can never be any lasting peace or health for either side. Whereby, the NOETB makes the following demands:
1. Elimination of all antibiotics and anti-bacterial soaps.
2. The right to multiply and to live peacefully without the threat of violence.
3. The right to the availability of warm, moist places.
4. Elimination of laboratory bacteria to be used for testing antibiotics.
5. Creation of bacteria shelters to help abandoned and isolated bacteria.
In response to these demands, if met, the bacteria representatives of the NOETB will do the following:
1. Stop causing diseases, particularly strep throat.
2. Stop multiplying in designated bacteria-free zones.
3. Stay out of milk, cheese, and eggs.
4. Stop collusion with viruses.
If these concessions are unacceptabled, a reasonable alternative may be discussed. However, if our demands are not met immediately, all communication will cease and more diseases will be created. We hope that this fair settlement can be agreed upon.
Signed,
George Flambalbalmacher, President of NOETB
Bacillus Bolton, Chairbacterium of the Bacteria Representatives of NOETB
