(It never had a title, so I’ll just call it The Ballad of George “Double-screw” Bush)

Just pretend it’s a dream,
As the cleansing machine,
Wipes away people like mildew.
Don’t make a sound,
Keep your eyes on the ground,
Maybe they’ll let you work ’til they’ve killed you

Don’t step out of line,
Can’t you read the sign?
“Those who ask questions are traitors!”
When your neighbors forsake you,
The bus that will take you,
Comes back for the rest of THEM later.

A well-confined prisoner,
Makes a good listener,
But a noose provides answers to questions.
Keep beating them senseless,
‘Til there’s no need for fences,
There’s no proof like deathbed confessions.

And there’s nothing like fear,
To make people hear,
You’re the one on which their life depends.
Keep the truth out of sight,
And they’ll forfeit their rights,
‘Til there’s no freedom left to defend.

He’s turning millions into billions,
While selling out his brothers,
Waving the flag in one hand,
And the Bible in the other.
When you don’t care who you step on,
You’re the ultimate deceiver.
Use the Bible and flag as weapons,
‘Cause you don’t believe in either.

A woman who graduates Phi Beta Kappa at the age of 19, makes her masters and doctorate in political science and even has some in-depth knowledge of Germany goes before the Veterans of Foreign Wars in August of 2003

There is an understandable tendency to look back on America’s experience in postwar Germany and see only the successes. But as some of you here today surely remember, the road we traveled was very difficult. 1945 through 1947 was an especially challenging period. Germany was not immediately stable or prosperous. SS officers—called “werewolves”—engaged in sabotage and attacked both coalition forces and those locals cooperating with them—

to make a comparison that Germany following World War II was as chaotic and deadly as Iraq following “Mission Accomplished.” The only problem is there is no comparison. In the period following Mission Accomplished to August 2003 nearly 150 Americans were killed by hostile action in Iraq. ( The reality of the situation is that there no reported cases of American deaths due to hostilities following Germany’s defeat in WWII.

If you feel your leg getting wet and it feels a little warm and Condoleezza tells you its raining, you may want to look down to find out what is really happening.

condi rice is a fraud. she gave administrators rimjobs for her PHD.

now that was easy.

she is a war criminal and i doubt she will fare well while at the hague. she can have milosevik’s old cell. it served him well.

can you purchase glaser safety slugs near the stanford campus? i wonder.

Why do you think your approval level is in the hopper, Dubya!?!

Because finally America woke up to what the rest of the world has known for a long, long time….

The Iraq war was started so your Vice President’s company, Halliburton, could snatch up all the no bid contracts and Cheney could rake in trillions! He’ll walk off into the sunset with all the spoils of war.

How do you all sleep at night with so much blood on your hands?

Just sickening!

…..and put a lid on all the spin!

Hope Republicans never get elected to office ever, ever again!

Condi Rice read the same Aug. 6th, 2001 PDB that was briefed to Bush, which was entitled: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S..”

One month later, one week before the 9/11 attacks, Condi Rice convened the first and only cabinet-level counter-terrorism principals’ meeting the Bush administration held before 9/11, at which, according to Rice, Bush’s overall Middle East strategy was discussed, which is Bush-speak for they discussed invading Iraq and ousting Saddam Hussein, with hardly any mention being made of the al Qaeda terrorist threat and all the warning signs of an impending domestic terrorist attack. Why wasn’t Rice fired after the 9/11 attacks happened one week later?

Look at India in the aftermath of Mumbai. Officials resigning. People accepting responsibility. People being held accountable.

Why wasn’t Rice fired or why didn’t she resign in disgrace after 9/11?

Oh, right, the 9/11 attacks were all President Bill Clinton’s fault. I forgot. Silly me.

That is, I forgot the childish response of the Bush officials and their right-wing pundit flacks, who still try to blame the previous Democratic administration for the worst intelligence failure in American history, even though the Bush administration had been in charge of national security (with Condi Rice as the chief national security adviser to Bush) for over eight months when 9/11 happened.

The Bush administration (and Condi Rice) blew off all the “hair on fire” warning signs in the Spring of 2001.

When this “crack” group of Republicans entered the White House in January 2001, they immediately demoted the counter-terrorism chief, Richard Clarke, refusing to let him sit in on cabinet-level meetings, which he had previously, under Clinton, been chairing three times a week to coordinate courter-terrorism efforts among top officials from among our nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Condi Rice held only one such counter-terrorism cabinet-level meeting one week before the 9/11 attacks. Why wasn’t she fired?

In early 2001, Bush’s Attorney General, John Ashcroft, downgraded the al Qaeda terrorist threat level at the Justice Department below Ashcroft’s higher priorities of going after prostitutes, pornographers and druggies. In mid-August, FBI field agents in the Midwest arrested one of the bin Laden-selected 9/11 hijackers at a Midwest flight school after he drew suspicion because he only wanted to learn how to fly 747s (in the air), but wasn’t interested in learning how to take off or land one. Flight school instructors tipped off the FBI. He was arrested. The FBI field agents desperately wanted to search this guy’s personal effects. They repeatedly petitioned FBI headquarters (under Ashcroft and a bunch of Republican political appointees), but these urgent pleas before 9/11 by these FBI field agents fell on deaf ears. These patriotic FBI field agents even went so far as to try to bypass Ashcroft’s stonewalling Justice Department by having this guy deported to England, where his personal effects could be searched when he passed through customs. This was to happen on 9/11. A day to late, and 3,000 innocent lives short.

But the strangest thing about this Ashcroft/Justice Department stonewalling of these Midwest FBI field agent requests for a search warrant is that Ashcroft and the Republican-controlled Justice Department could have invoked FISA, preemptively searched this guy’s personal effects (without a search warrant) and then gone to the FISA court within 48 hours (per FISA provisions) to justify this preemptive search. But Ashcroft and the Republicans running our Justice Department apparently so despised FISA that they refused to do this…and the 9/11 hijacker plot was left undiscovered in the weeks leading up to 9/11. Why wasn’t Ashcroft fired, as well as all the Republican political hacks at Justice?

And now Condi Rice is lecturing us on how “critical” the removal of Saddam Hussein was to stability in the Middle East, even as Iran’s influence has expanded enormously since the ouster of Hussein and the Baathists from power in Iraq, including Iran’s influence inside Iraq itself. Why hasn’t Rice been fired yet? Only a complete idiot would listen to her advice. Oh right, she was national security adviser to George W. Bush, wasn’t she? I forgot, there was and is one complete idiot willing to listen to her. What hasn’t she been fired yet…or impeached from holding any position in our government ever again?
