ThinkFast: September 7, 2007
Though Gen. David Petraeus has told President Bush “that he wants to maintain heightened troop levels in Iraq well into next year,” a senior U.S. official says the general is willing to consider a slight drawdown of “between 3,500 and 4,500 U.S. troops from Iraq early next year.”
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) lashed out at Senate Republican leaders yesterday over their efforts to force Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) to resign. “I hope I never stub my toe and they throw me under the bus,” said Simpson. “It kind of makes you wonder what party you want to be a member of,” he added, noting he has no intention of switching parties.
“American intelligence agencies are expecting Osama bin Laden to issue a triumphant message to Al Qaeda followers on the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks boasting of Al Qaeda’s growing numbers and success in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.” The al-Qaida leader has not appeared in new video footage since October 2004.
“Seven U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq, including four in the western province of Anbar, the U.S. military said on Friday.” The deaths take to more than 3,750 the number of U.S. soldiers killed since the start of the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
Yesterday, the head of the Justice Department’s civil division announced that he will be leaving in two weeks. His departure “will leave only two of the department’s six key litigation divisions headed by Senate-confirmed officials.” Once Alberto Gonzales steps down, all three of the Justice Department’s top positions will also be filled by “acting” officials.
“The Arctic ice cap is melting faster than scientists had expected and will shrink 40 percent by 2050 in most regions, with grim consequences for polar bears, walruses and other marine animals,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Yesterday, the Senate “brushed past Bush administration protests and passed legislation containing big budget increases for medical care for veterans.” The Veterans Affairs budget bill, passed by a 92-1 vote, would give the department a 10 percent increase for its health care accounts next year.
“More than 260 doctors from around the world have launched an unprecedented attack on the American medical establishment for its failure to condemn unethical practices by medical practitioners at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba.”
And finally: “Even for someone as gaffe-prone as U.S. President George W. Bush, he was in rare form on Friday.” He thanked Australia for hosting the OPEC — instead of APEC — summit, even though Australia has never been a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. He also brought up the “Austrian troops in Iraq,” even though there are Australian, but not Austrian, troops serving there.

“I hope I never stub my toe and they throw me under the bus,†said Simpson.
Depends on how wide your stance is and who’s foot you stub your toe on.
This made me chuckle, read on some blog. “Craig is going to become the spokesman for restless leg syndrome.”
September 7th, 2007 at 9:12 amSenator M. Simpson (ID)…seems to be interested in what the GOP Senators did to Senator Criag rather than what Craig did in the bathroom..and admitted doing it. He is angry because he thinks that the party should line up in defending Craig behavior.

September 7th, 2007 at 9:22 amAmerica will be Bushwhacked again with the Patreaus report.
The General stated clearly when he was appointed that ‘their is no military solution in Iraq.
Yes, Bush suffers from Premature Iraqulation, but Patreaus has a good memory; it’s just short.
Australia got a good look at the intelligence of our President. Those that aren’t still laughing should question John Howard’s role in this, as well.

He’s going to have to do a lot more than that early next year, where he likes it or not. The only way Bush can maintain the present troop levels or even 4,500 less is to permanently extend the tour of duty for all the soldiers in Iraq or institute a draft very quickly.

War was good for the economy in the past because we actually made things in the United States and Corporations actually paid taxes. With our new system of capitalism, very little of what is manufactured for war is made in this country and companies like Haliburton and Blackwater are registered outside the US so they don’t have to pay US income taxes.

September 7th, 2007 at 9:55 amI saw the “still photo” of the supposed upcoming OBL video. It is almost identical to the previous video (same clothes, same setting) except with a darker beard.
My suspicion is that someone is busily Photoshopping the old video to make it look like a new video… accounting for the “preview” and delay in its release.
This presents several possibilities:
1) Either OBL is dead but they want everyone to think he is still alive.
2) He’s too ill to actually do a new video.
3) He’s alive and well, but wants everyone to THINK he’s dead by releasing an easily debunked video.
We’ll see.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the Democrats in Congress actually believed what Petraus said during his confirmation hearings. Petraus said that he did not believe that Iraq could be won by military action only. He indicated that he felt that there needed to be a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. He lied.
For the life of me I don’t understand why the Democrats keep believing what the Republicans have to say. They should know by now that if it comes out of the mouth of a Republican, chances are it is a lie.

September 7th, 2007 at 10:06 am>Based on the accuracy of exit-poll predictions
>which said Kerry would win,
last I checked, no democrats had the president of a major voting company promising friends he would “do everything in his power” to make they got elected….
I’ve got a bet for you.. I’ll bet you can’t find a SINGLE verified example of an electronic voting glitch, ANYWHERE, that benefitted a democatic candidate in either the 2000 or 2004 election. find one then we’ll talk about the “myth” of rigged elections.. there were plenty that went in bush’s favor (such as -16,000 votes for gore in one county.. later found and corrected via paper verified ballots).. if these errors were truly mistakes, they should happen to both sides.. strangely,, they dont..
September 7th, 2007 at 10:06 amThe Surge worked well to suck up all the victory of Democrats in 2008. First Rumsfeld left…and that sucked up some anger from people after the elections..now Bush is having Democrats Pelosi,Reid and company unable to do anything..Bush got his money,and he will be asking for more..and Pelosi & Co. will give it to him…or he will accuse them of’ not supporting the troops’,and Petraeus is will be there to help Bush.
September 7th, 2007 at 10:06 amRemember..everytime Bush is about to lose the debate…he injects”Supporting the troops’ when in fact he means ’supporting my policies..’
Pelosi and Neocons ideologies are not that far apart.

“As Media Matters noted, Post ombudsman Deborah Howell, in her January 15 column, mischaracterized Schmidt’s article, falsely claiming — twice — that Abramoff “had made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties.” Post media writer Howard Kurtz later acknowledged that Howell’s assertion was “inartfully worded” and could “have been more accurate.” The Center for Responsive Politics’ database of campaign contributions does not list any donations from Abramoff to any Democrats. ”

He’s obsessing about this because no one cares and it really upsets him. He should be careful what he wishes for because if people really start investigating who is contributing to the Republicans they may end up with some serious egg on their faces.

Only if the neighbors are pussy College Republican rightards afraid of their own shadows and too cowardly to face the enemy. Like you.
September 7th, 2007 at 10:15 amI don’t believe all republicans are bad or hate the troops but I do believe they allowed their party to be taken over and guided by the likes of Neocons and the PNAC. The strong arm tactics of Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld pushed thru the notion that Iraq was the central front on this new “War on Terror” and we were force fed a steady diet of having to go into Iraq to save ourselves.
The republicans (wanting to secure that permanent majority) seized on this, bonding it with the idea your not a patriot if you question us. Fear led the way. Not evidence, not logistical planning. Just fear.
No WMD’s. No link between Saddam and 9 eleven. No proper planning to pay for this. No proper long term military/political plan. All on the shoulders of this administration and the republican controlled congress. Weak and missled democrats followed and will also be held accountable.
I don’t hate all republicans. I just won’t trust them for creating the enormous debt, sacrificing thousands of our bravest and using fear to push us farther away from the open form of Govt. we had. This is all on their shoulders.
Wake up.

The New York Times
“Yet over the past few weeks a number of journalists, ranging from The Washington Post’s ombudsman to the “Today” show’s Katie Couric, have declared that Mr. Abramoff gave money to both parties. In each case the journalists or their news organization, when challenged, grudgingly conceded that Mr. Abramoff himself hasn’t given a penny to Democrats. But in each case they claimed that this is only a technical point, because Mr. Abramoff’s clients — those Indian tribes — gave money to Democrats as well as Republicans, money the news organizations say he “directed” to Democrats.
But the tribes were already giving money to Democrats before Mr. Abramoff entered the picture; he persuaded them to reduce those Democratic donations, while giving much more money to Republicans. A study commissioned by The American Prospect shows that the tribes’ donations to Democrats fell by 9 percent after they hired Mr. Abramoff, while their contributions to Republicans more than doubled. So in any normal sense of the word “directed,” Mr. Abramoff directed funds away from Democrats, not toward them.”

September 7th, 2007 at 10:19 amWow, according to this man, when I make love with my monogamous partner of 16 years, in the privacy of our own home, I am committing an act of unspeakable perversion, an abomination, a disgusting, immoral act. I’m threatening families, children, the church, the country, society, mother, baseball, apple pie and all of civilization. I’m shaking my fist in the face of God.
But when a lying, cheating, self-hating, adulterous bastard like Larry Craig tries to get his groove on with another man on the piss and shit covered floor of a public toilet, the same person who compares the act to stubbing a toe.
I guess it’s the fact that I don’t hate myself for being gay that REALLY offends these people.
The malleable, selective and ever shifting morals of these assholes NEVER cease to amaze me!

September 7th, 2007 at 10:34 amI wonder about this talk of “holding onto what we have made”, “it is a fragile situation”, “we have made military successes”. Just what do these people think will happen after we eventually leave? These fragile situations are not just going to go away. Petraeus is talking about another year. Does he think that everything will be hunky-dory at that time and then we can leave? Of course not. It’s just another push back on the timeline. There is ethnice cleansing in the secure area of Baghdad, no unified government, no decrease in military or civilian deaths, the British are leaving the south, etc. The only bright spot has been that al-Sadr has called for a short time of peace in order to regroup. Then what? Another year?

Actually, I know why.
Because it’s BLACK and they’re not absolutely sure it’s not GAY!
The fact of the matter is Republicans can NOT exist without a designated enemy to fear. Think about it, their platform ALWAYS revolves around their latest boogie man (gays, black people, brown people, arabs, muslims, non-Christians, Mexicans, AIDS patients, French people, immigrants, feminists, scientists, evolutionists, atheists, intellectuals, liberals and even Republicans who dare to challenge Bush). Hell they’ll even turn on straight, white, male, fundamentalist, protestant, conservative Republicans who are married with kids good ole boys if they even think about stepping one toe off of the official party platform.
It’s REALLY scary to be a Republican!

September 7th, 2007 at 10:42 amI love it when republicans talk about liberals being so angry, the angry left. I think this is wrong for a couple of reasons. First republicans today label anyone who is not dry humping bush as far left liberal. What they don’t see is that they are so far removed from the main stream that the true middle looks far left to them. They are so far right that they have no clue what the far left truly is anymore, to them moderates are extremists, while they themselves from their extreme position view themselves as moderates and mainstream. Second they think that when they spew their lies and lies and more lies over and over that any reaction to those lies which seems not to be calm and in agreement with them is an angry reaction. They confuse anger with frustration. Who wouldn’t be frustrated and or angry when you expose the fantasy and try and show reality, yet get answered with more and more fantasy? Third as republicans love to project one only has to look at their rhetoric and their mood over the years to see where the anger and self loathing really is. Republicans make it plain and clear that they pretty much hate anything that is not them and or does not agree with them. Go figure.
r…it looks like you are the guy who is up on the scandals. Got any scoop on the reporter who was writing a book about Bush who ended up dead? Just curious.

I showed you repeated articles from all sorts of sources stressing that no one had offered any proof of abramhoff giving money directly to any dems. When pressed, all the sources admitted he had not given money directly to any democrats.
Still waiting for a database cite that lists his donations to dems..that stuff IS a matter of public record you know.. YOU started out making the assertion Abrahmoff gave to dems…you pointed at an article saying he “directed” the money…. funny how they wernt willing to use the word “give”…

September 7th, 2007 at 11:03 am>And that is how you are going to win cases? By attacking the oppositions >wife, who you don’t know, and never met?
Its just icing on my cake because you scumbags like to go after peoples personal lives as well. I cited numerous articles explaning why your Wapo assertion didnt prove he GAVE anythign to dems….
I asked you to cite any database of campaign contributions that showed abrahmoff’s name as giving to a dem.. and you .. tell me to “get a life”
>Please, send me a card if you pass the bar (which, at this point, appears >to be a BIG if), so I know who NOT to hire if I ever need a lawyer.
I wanted a fool for a client I’d represent myself, thanks.
Don’t worry, i’ll be back in about a year to speak more about it…
(statisically, the GPA range im in, about 98 percent of the people at my school pass the bar the first time)

Let chickenhawk, keyboard commandos want someone LESS important than THEM to fight FOR THEM.
WHAT SCUM.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:05 amOMFG Bush is dumb!! Opec and Austrian troops, what a dumbf$ck. The people who still support this clown are as dumb if not dumber than the chimp in charge. Do you moron trolls enjoy having a mental nitwit as President?
September 7th, 2007 at 11:07 am>wife, who you don’t know, and never met?
you can tell alot by the company people keep. i can already tell your some twisted macho sicko with a deep seated desire to be told what to do, so anyone who would let a repressed creeep like you into thier vagina especially enough times to make 5 nutlings, must be one sick puppy themselves..
ps.. have you figured out what the word “ACCOUNTABILITY” means yet?
September 7th, 2007 at 11:07 amit has nothing to do with accountants…
“No Curly Joe though.

Yeah, that Curly Joe was something else…did you ever see the Three Stooges Cartoon where they were looking for Uranium in the desert? Curly Joe as a cartoon character…
I guess they were getting a little to old to take the pratfalls by then.
Shemp is my favorite.

September 7th, 2007 at 11:12 amps.. have you figured out what the word “ACCOUNTABILITY†means yet?
it has nothing to do with accountants…
Comment by Chocolate Jesus — September 7, 2007 @ 11:07 am
Ah Accounting, Accountability whatever. My point is that you shouldn’t let anyone but a true red Republican dictate to the masses of the U.S. And the world for that matter.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:12 am>Ah Accounting, Accountability whatever.
Hahahaha. I rest my case.. good night and good luck smuck…
September 7th, 2007 at 11:14 amCouldn’t bare to watch Curly Joe. It’s like watching an old boxer thinking he can still do it when we all know he shouldn’t.
Shemp had his moments but Curly was the man. “Moe, Larry the Cheese!” Classic.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:14 amThat Bigfoot was not me. Another case of namejacking!

OK, I stand corrected on the word “Accounting” vs. “Accountability”.
However, here is how they describe themselves when one Googles GAO:
“Investigative arm of Congress charged with examining matters relating to the receipt and payment of public funds.”
Check out their website. Still accountants.

Are you under your bed with your favorite stuffed animal, W?
September 7th, 2007 at 11:20 amMoney should not be an issue where war is concerned. Spend whatever it takes to remove whatever threat you see. And if the threat turns out to be much less then you anticipated thats ok too. At least it won’t grow into a larger threat. If you see ants in the garden you bomb them. If it turns out they were the only ants there no big deal. You don’t solve the worlds problems with pleasant requests. You bomb first ask questions later. Wait for Iran. You’ll get the point.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:22 amStill accountants.

Ah yes, the party of fiscal responsibility. I guess that also went the way of moral values. GOP are all hat and no cow.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:23 amMr. Teen South Carolina George W. Bush:
And finally: “Even for someone as gaffe-prone as U.S. President George W. Bush, he was in rare form on Friday.†He thanked Australia for hosting the OPEC — instead of APEC — summit, even though Australia has never been a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. He also brought up the “Austrian troops in Iraq,†even though there are Australian, but not Austrian, troops serving there.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:23 amRegarding 149 and 152, apparently someone gets their kicks by namejacking, and then denying their own namejacked posts. Funny, but not that funny.
Got work to do: Gonna head over the the Three Stooges Blogs and talk about something important for a while.

Taking your name from a failed republican defense program that did nothing but waste tax dollars is pure genius. Unless you were being serious, that is.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:24 amDon’t play devils advocate! You know, it’s the “gay†thing that differentiates the two for the Repukes!

September 7th, 2007 at 11:26 amBigbutt, Mrwidestance says bomb, bomb,kill all the brown people and we’ll worry about ACCOUNTABILITY later. I’m thinking the Hague may be to late for considering the consequences of your actions.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:27 amThe best way to get rid of a namejacker is to call them out. Seeya fake bigfoot.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:27 amMoney should and is a very big issue where war is concerned. It can’t be fought without it. You simplify the concept to fit into the “Stay the Course” mantra but fail to account for the logistics, planning and finicancial aspects.
War throughout history has been guided by money. Spending whatever it takes to remove whatever threat you see is one of the root problems this administration has created. They never established either and now, using your logic, the only course of action is to increase spending and the military to complete something that still hasn’t been understood.
Democracy is a choice. Forcing it on another country is going against the core principals of Democracy. The voice of the people in Iraq has not been heard. Bush opened a can of worms that he doesn’t understand and wants all of america to pay for his mistake.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:29 am155 is another poser too, though with minor changes, that would be something I would say.
Saved me some typing there! Thanks!
Outta here for awhile.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:29 amIt used to be amusing to watch the “Bush is my God” sycophants defend the indefensible, but it is getting to the point of disgusting.
The Bush defenders are like the wife of a child molester who is raping their 12 year old daughter. She ignore the screams at night and the bloody sheets because “He’s a good man. He wouldn’t do thatâ€.
They support Bush because they share the same creation myth, not on the merits of his policies.
Pretty sad.

September 7th, 2007 at 12:26 pmTP asks, “What did we miss? Let us know in the comments section.”
Lets’s see……TP missed the binLaden tape. Hmmm…. Why?
Could it be the commonality of prog collaborators & bin Laden?
Let’s see:
BOTH Progs & OBL despise George Bush…..
September 8th, 2007 at 10:43 amBOTH Progs & OBL want the US out of Iraq…..
BOTH Progs & OBL blame US/Israeli/Mid East policy for jihadism….
BOTH Progs & OBL despise the corporate culture of capitalism….
BOTH Progs & OBL are “concerned” about global warming….
BOTH Progs & OBL are strangely invested in re-capturing their “youth”.
