The bottom dropping out of the dollar.

Where is the dollar today?

Up. Thanks to Pakistan.

Just think, if the dollar collapsed, we couldn’t pay all those contractors and we’d have to leave Iraq. Of course they like what is happening in Pakistan.

Nah, I didn’t think so, either.

NICE one!

Yeah, I saw it. 60 Minutes said the weapons inspectors proved three weeks before the invasion that everything Curveball said was a lie.

26-year CIA senior analyst Tyler Drumheller said, “If they had not had Curve Ball they would have probably found something else. ‘Cause there was a great determination to do it….”

People ought to go to their site and read or watch it.

Wasn’t that all your “evidence” for the necessity of invading Iraq?

Further evidence of just how thoroughly corrupt, callous, twisted, and dysfunctional this administration is — that the United States getting itself trapped in a (to all appearances) hopeless Catch-22 with a military dictator is a good thing, for no other reason than it distracts the attention of the American people away from the quagmire which Iraq has become. No concern whatsoever over the arrest and detention of the opposition, the censorship of the media, the suspension of liberties (such as they are) until further notice, or the possibility of even further damage to our credibility both in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. This is far from being a favor or a blessing from heaven — personally, I wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility that this is heaven’s curse sent to punish us for our arrogance and our stubborn insistence on exploiting other countries for our own purposes without giving a thought for the consequences for them and for us.

Either way, this doesn’t look good for us. If the Bush administration decides to continue its support for Musharaff more or less unabated, that puts us in bed with a dictator who has deprived his own people of the freedoms which we claim to hold dear — something for which we have pointed the finger of condemnation against other world leaders — and makes us hypocrites in the eyes not only of the Pakistani people, but of the entire world. However, if the Bush administration decides not to support Musharaff and his opponents succeed in removing him from power, it leaves the door open to the possibility of Pakistan and its nuclear weapons falling into the hands of religious extremists — at least some of whom are sympathetic to al-Qaeda. We’re quite possibly trapped between a rock and a hard place — and it’s largely if not entirely all our own fault.

Unfortunately, given the new, secret-top-secret-super-duper-super powers Il Buschi granted himself a while back, you may be right.

The soft bigotry of low expectations is the new motto in Bush’s America.

Sounds a lot like something that may be happening here soon.

Go to: cooperativeresearch.org for much information.

Option One: Lie. Always the first, and often only, option.

Option Two: Tell the truth “off the record”. This only happens when they are able to overcome their fear of knowledge. George keeps telling them “knowledge is dangerous”.

Option Three: Be labeled a “Traitorous, Anti-American, Coward”. This has never been good for a career in politics.
