iraq war

1.  Hillary Clinton at this point is like that friend you have or the person you work with that you don't want to talk to.  You and everyone else know that they're wrong in what they're doing or not doing but the person just keeps doing the same thing like everything is fine.  So you avoid them and when they bring up the issue you change

Vibinc thinks the Blue Dogs Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for preventing the current Iraq War funding compromise:

Mike Byrd runs the costs of war for Nashville, Tennessee:

Mike has this:

According to the National Priorities Project, the Iraq War has cost the State of Tennessee over $8 billion ($1 billion = $1000 million). President Bush's new funding request for 08-09 will cost the Volunteer State over $2 billion, which according to NPP would buy Tennessee 21,714 afforable housing units, 41,906 elementary school teachers, or health care coverage for 435,808 adults.

We interrupt our program of political snark to bring you this news: The Bush Administration is still trying to start World War III.

In the run up to the il fate Iraq war, we were fed a series of distortions and out right lies. There were any number of people trying to point this out but one stands above all others, former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, who is also a former Republican.

Bechtel...Bechtel...why does that name (see below) ring a bell? Oh, yeah. From Jeffrey St. Clair in CounterPunch:

Creepy neocon/Iraq War booster and now World Bank head Robert Zoellick is calling for--I kid you not--a “New Deal” to ward off a global food crisis.

“A New Deal.” Heh. When Neocons start wishing for a “New Deal”-type plan, you’ve gotta be worried.

This is one of the reasons Bushies hate the judiciary: an inconvenient district court judge's order to resolve, by May 5, the mystery of not knowing whether there were e-mails (re: the start of the Iraq War and re: Valerie Plame) that were deleted from White House hard drives during an 8-month period during 2003.
