Date Submitted: Mar 20th, 2008 Submitted by: -flipflop.
On the morning of the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, ABC's Good Morning America aired an interview with Vice-President Cheney, in which they discussed the war in Iraq. During the segment, Cheney flatly told White House correspondent Martha Raddatz that he doesn't care about the American public's views on the war

Bush won't supply subpoenaed documents

Publisher: AP Author: Terence Hunt, AP Date of Publication: Jun 28th, 2007
Date Submitted: Jun 30th, 2007 Submitted by: -flipflop.
Bush and his cronies are under investigation for potentially illegally firing some attorneys who were opposed to him. He is subpoenaed for documents, and refuses to give them, citing "executive privilege". His actions may be legal, but they don't really seem that trustworthy...

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!

Bush budget pinches domestic spending

Publisher: http://news.yahoo.com Author: Andrew Taylor, AP Date of Publication: Feb 5th, 2007
Date Submitted: Feb 5th, 2007 Submitted by: flipflop
Bush has unveiled his new $2.9 Trillion budget, which includes a budget hike of $50 Billion. $245 Billion of that is intended for Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, there's not much room in that $2.9 Trillion for unimportant things like Medicare and heating subsidies for the poor.

Rumsfeld tells people to "just back off" about Iraq

Publisher: CNN.com Author: AP Date of Publication: Oct 26th, 2006
Date Submitted: Oct 26th, 2006 Submitted by: flipflop
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)

How has this happened? Because they had the same name as other suspected terrorists. This included small children. Good thing none of these people have ways of identifying themselves. Like passports. Or ID cards. Or driver's licences. Or faces. Or...

Federal Air Marshals say they are reporting your actions as possible terrorism, because otherwise they don't get raises and bonuses. Sounds fair to me.

Iran Bars CNN Over Translation of Remarks

Publisher: ABC News Author: Nasser Karimi, Associated Press Date of Publication: Jan 16th, 2006
Date Submitted: January 16th, 2006 Submitted by: -j.
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".
