Incredible (true) Interview: Cheney Admits Going To Iraq Is A Bad Idea

Date: Aug 15th, 2007 URL: http://blogues.cyberpresse.ca Submitted by: Vincent Audet-Nadeau
Hard as it is to believe, but Dick Cheney actually has foresight and an accurate world view, from time to time. For example, look at this video from 1994 where Cheney says that going into Iraq would cause a military and political quagmire.

Bush: Clock ticking on funding for war troops

Publisher: http://www.cnn.com Author: Ed Henry, Deirdre Walsh and Andrea Koppel , CNN Date of Publication: Apr 3rd, 2007
Date Submitted: Apr 5th, 2007 Submitted by: -j.
To sum up this one: Bush overcommitted troops and budgets to Iraq. The Democratic congress said they won't continue funding a failing war they didn't want in the first place. Bush's reaction? We'll send the troops anyway, underfund them, and when (not if) they die, blame congress. First you don't want the war, now you won't support it... make up your mind, Senate!

Rumsfeld says people ought to "just back off" and stop demanding specific benchmarks or timelines for progress in Iraq, saying it is just too difficult to predict. Kind of flies in the face of his and Dick Cheney's original assessment of "weeks, not months". That was in March 2003, if my memory serves... (see article below)

Reality has a well-known liberal bias

Date: May 4th, 2006 URL: http://video.freevideoblog.com Submitted by: Benny T.
The "Colbert Report"'s Stephen Colbert absolutely destroys Bush with one fell swoop, in the funniest political monologue we have ever seen. Speaking at the White House Press Correspondents' Association dinner, Colbert brutally disects right-wing media and the President, who sits 8 feet away.

A sample:
"To actually sit here, at the same table with my hero, George W. Bush, to be this close to the man. I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me. You know what? I'm a pretty sound sleeper -- that may not be enough. Somebody shoot me in the face."

So fantastic, there aren't enough words.

againstUs v. CNN: The Battle Continues

Date: Feb 23rd, 2006 Submitted by: flipflop
Last month the challenge was put forth: We say CNN always errs on the right, but can we prove it? A few examples were posted, but CNN was thoughtful enough to keep the discrepancies coming.

The latest comes in the case of Dick Cheney shooting a 78-year old in the heart. There is so much fodder here it makes me giddy, but what's curious is the fact CNN seems to be the only news agency that did not notice any problems with the VP's story.

Yes, CNN is officially out on their ASS. They have been barred from Iran for erroneously translating "Iran has the right to nuclear energy" into "Iran has the right to nuclear weapons." Although they're not part of the government, it's funny how CNN always seems to make errors to the "right".

Everyone has the right to life, except for the ones we choose to kill

Date: Jan 12th, 2006 Submitted by: flipflop
The potential nomination of Samuel A. Alito Jr. shuffles along. Alito has come under fire for anti-abortion comments he made in the 1980s while he was a Reagan administration lawyer, noting in a 1985 memo that "[the U.S. government] should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade". Interestingly, in an appeals-court case that was overturned by the Supreme Court last year, Alito upheld a decision handed down in a 17-year-old Pennsylvania death-penalty case.

This is right-wing American irony at its finest. Everyone has the right to life, except for the ones we choose to kill. Bush and his "family values" platform have long been opposed to abortion, stem-cell research and anything they consider is against the right to life. This, from the man who oversaw 152 executions while he was governor of Texas, some of which were of the mentally handicapped.

Coming soon: Jack Kevorkian sentenced to death for assisting with someone's suicide.

Why blame us when there's a scapegoat to be found?

Date: Dec 19th, 2005 Submitted by: flipflop
So, Bolivia has a new president, Evo Morales. He's the country's first indigenous leader and he's a socialist. He also just cut his own salary - and his entire cabinet's - by 50% so that more staff can be hired for the education and health sectors. I don't see many western leaders following suit. But the most troubling news by far for the Americans is that he is a coca grower.

The U.S. have been pressuring the Bolivian government for years to raze their coca crops, offering such things as military aid as a bargaining chip. Despite the fact that coca is used for medicine, altitude sickness, is a major cash crop and is of significant cultural importance, the Americans have a drug problem, so Bolivia needs to get rid of their crops.

I would love the Bolivian government to say, "We have a problem with alchoholism" and demand that the U.S. government burn down their Jack Daniels distillery...
