Thom Hartmann began his program on Thursday by reading from a new Executive Order which allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies. He then introduced old-line conservative Paul Craig Roberts -- a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan who has recently become known for his strong opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War -- by quoting the "strong words" which open Roberts' latest column: ...

Halfway House Rejects Ted Haggard's Offer to "Minister to Men" Posted by Pam Spaulding on August 29, 2007 at 5:46 AM. This post, written by Pam Spaulding, originally appeared on Pam's House Blend Guess Ted's "fund me please" letter and ties to a convicted sex offender were a tad too distasteful. The Rev Ted Haggard's recent pleas for cash and his plan to return to ministry work were doused by a pastor Monday, who said the former New Life Church leader would not work in a Phoenix halfway house. Compounding the former pastor's troubles, the organization Haggard chose to handle tax-deductible contributions for his family is led by a twice-convicted ...

Cholera spreads in Iraq as health services collapse By Patrick Cockburn Published: 31 August 2007 Lack of clean drinking water and poor sanitation has led to 5,000 people in northern Iraq contracting cholera. The outbreak is among the most serious signs yet that Iraqi health and social services are breaking down as the number of those living in camps and poor housing increases after people flee their homes. "The disease is spreading very fast," Dr Juan Abdallah, a senior official in Kurdistan's health ministry, told a UN agency. "It is the first outbreak of its kind here in the past few decades." Doctors in Sulaimaiyah in Iraqi Kurdistan have appealed for help ...

GEORGE BUSH IS A MALIGNANT NARCISSIST

GEORGE BUSH IS A MALIGNANT NARCISSIST by Paul Levy Psychologically speaking, Mr. George W. Bush is what is called a ‘malignant narcissist.’ A narcissist is someone who has become hypnotized and entranced by their own inflated self-image. They have become so self-absorbed that not only are they not in genuine relation with others, but they relate to others (including the environment) as objects to satisfy their own need for self-aggrandizement. A ‘malignant’ narcissist, however, is a narcissist who reacts sadistically to others who don't support and enable their narcissism. For example, instead of self-reflecting and taking in critical feedback, the Bush ...

Wednesday August 29, 2007 07:11 EST The president's escalating war rhetoric on Iran (updated below - updated again) George Bush, speaking before yet another military audience, yesterday delivered what might actually be the most disturbing speech of his presidency, in which he issued more overt war threats than ever before towards Iran: The other strain of radicalism in the Middle East is Shia extremism, supported and embodied by the regime that sits in Tehran. Iran has long been a source of trouble in the region. It is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. Iran backs Hezbollah who are trying to undermine the democratic government of Lebanon.

Iraq, Iran and the Moral Rot Infecting the Soul of America By Walter C. Uhler 08/29/07 "ICH" -- - The more I read history, the more I’m convinced that the United States, far from being God’s appointed beacon for all mankind, was always a big talking, poor performing country in which the massive and willful stupidity of the majority engendered a moral rot incapable of withstanding manipulation and seduction by self-serving business/political interests. Thus, columnist Richard Cohen was merely acknowledging the latest example of such rot among the majority, when he asserted the Iraq War “was no mere failure of intelligence. This was a failure of character.” ...

Has Bush Boxed Himself In? By Pat Buchanan 08/29/07 "Creators Syndicate" -- - As Americans anguish over how to extricate this country from Iraq without a disaster greater than what we now have, and without our friends suffering the fate of our friends in Cambodia and Vietnam, they had best brace themselves. This escalator is going up. and his generals are laying out the case for a new war. And there has been no resistance offered either by a vacationing Congress or the major presidential candidates. On CNN's "Late Edition" Sunday, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, No. 2 commander in Iraq, said, "It is clear to me that (the Iranians) have been stepping up their ...

Full Text : The President of Iran's Letter To President Bush Translated by "Le Monde" Posted 05/09/06 Mr George Bush, President of the United States of America For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, specially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.

Active-duty US troops become outspoken critics of Iraq war Active-duty US troops become outspoken critics of Iraq war By Brad Knickerbocker Wed Aug 29, 4:00 AM ET A recent op-ed about the war in Iraq charged that upbeat official reports amount to "misleading rhetoric." It said the "most important front in the counterinsurgency [had] failed most miserably." And it warned against pursuing "incompatible policies to absurd ends."

It is a bit odd, isn't it? For the better part of six years now, Cheney and the Neoconservative cabal have been insisting that the world has never been more dangerous. Indeed, to hear them spin the yarn, the threats to American freedom, liberty, and sovereignty have never been greater. Yet, Caesar Bush has nearly every legion bogged down in his Vietnam-like Iraq quagmire, the United States' vital "national security interests" and most especially the "Homeland" are all left vulnerable, unprotected, and left to fend for themselves ... still, in this oh-so-very dangerous world ... nothing. Here we are, a defenseless nation in the midst of the spookiest world ever, ...

You, Too, Can and Should Be an "Intelligence Analyst" My title is not intended to be at all humorous. It is meant to convey a critically important truth, one that most Americans, almost all politicians, and the overwhelming majority of political commentators (bloggers and otherwise) still do not understand to this day. Ray McGovern has written an article about our inexorable progress toward military confrontation with Iran. For reasons I've explained, I am not concerned with discussing that aspect of his commentary here, although I recommend you read his entire piece. But a few of McGovern's other points deserve emphasis and further discussion. I remind you that McGovern ...

NORTH AMERICAN UNION THREAT

The North American Union is a ‘Borg’-like collective plan to create a regional government. It is the antithesis of our Constitution and a direct threat to national security and sovereignty. The Declaration of Independence says, “…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” The same holds true if or when an independent country chooses to consolidate with other sovereign countries. So what happened to the “decent respect to the opinions of mankind”? The NAU ‘plan to create’ a regional government collective comprised of the United States, Canada and Mexico is ...

The War On Working Americans - Part I - Stephen Lendman As Labor Day approaches, what better time to assess the state of working America. It's under assault and weakened by decades of eroding rights in the richest country in the world once regarded as a model democratic state. It's pure nonsense in a nation always dedicated to wealth and power, but don't try finding that discussed in the mainstream. Today, it's truer than ever making the struggle for equity and justice all the harder. That's what ordinary working people now face making beating those odds formidable at the least. In a globalized world, the law of supply and demand is in play with lots more workers ...

Sheikhs, emirs, princes and kings will be buying anything from specialised sniper ammunition by the ton, to the highest-tech surveillance gear and even the odd British Aerospace gunboat or Eurofighter. The Arab world will use the International Defence Exhibition (IDEX), to tool up for a coming confrontation with Iran, and to arm Sunni insurgents to fight Iran's allies in Iraq, the Shia militias. Even the Bush administration will now admit, ...

Former Senator Cleland Disputes Bush's Vietnam Analogy on Iraq By Molly Peterson Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Former Democratic U.S. Senator Max Cleland, a disabled Vietnam veteran, said President George W. Bush made a faulty analogy when he cited that war to bolster his case for continuing U.S. military operations in Iraq. ``One of the lessons to be learned from Vietnam is that the commitment of American military strength alone cannot solve another country's political weakness,'' Cleland said today in the Democratic Party's weekly radio address. ``This should be a somber warning to us all to responsibly end the war in Iraq and the additional loss of precious American ...

The Nation -- Here is how things work today at the top levels of the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower. One of the Republican party's most prominent senators, a former Secretary of the Navy and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, returns from Iraq with his assessment of the circumstance on the ground. That assessment is based on conversations with military commanders and intelligence personnel who seek him out as one of the truest friends the U.S. military has in Congress, as well as on his own experience as one of the savviest observers of international affairs in Washington. On the same day, a magazine editor who has consistently been wrong ...

Fantasy island Karl Rove calls himself Moby Dick. One speechwriter sees himself as St. Francis. Another sees him as Iago. All regard Bush as Abraham Lincoln. In Washington, reality is a myth.
By Sidney Blumenthal
Aug. 22, 2007 | Even before the date of his resignation from the White House took effect, Karl Rove furiously launched himself on his legacy tour. Appearing on three Sunday morning TV shows over the past weekend he was intent on demonstrating the range of his political, military and literary mastery. Rove rattled off statistics of minority group voting patterns for President Bush in the 2004 election as if the moment were the apotheosis of the Republican Party. He cited ...

U.S. prison levels swell in Iraq Thom Shanker 24agostoprigione.jpg Friday, August 24, 2007 WASHINGTON: The number of detainees held by the American-led military coalition in Iraq has swelled by 50 percent under the troop increase ordered by President George W. Bush, with the inmate population growing from 16,000 in February to 24,500 today, according to American military officers in Iraq. Nearly 85 percent of the detainees in custody are Sunni Arabs, the minority faction in Iraq that ruled the country under the government of Saddam Hussein, with the other detainees being Shiite Muslims, the officers say. Of the Sunni detainees, about 1,800 claim allegiance to a group that calls itself ...
