It used to be that when the military appeared before Congress, such as General MacArthur or General Marshall, they appeared in civilian suits.
and not in the bedecked and medaled uniforms of their service. But now we must bow to these lying commanders of the the death apparatus of the state.

White House Steps Up Iran Rhetoric
@uncle joe #43 -
Think about all the folks around the world who currently hate the USA because of the Bush misadministration. Even though most of us don't agree with it. Is that fair? No.
When you say "Fuck Texas" (or "fuck texas", since your shift key apparently doesn't work), it's the same thing. Most Texans are not into insane religious cults who practice polygamy, child abuse, incest, and welfare fraud, who build multimillion dollar fortresses and dare the law to come after them. These particular nutjobs just happen to be in Texas, but there are others of them all over the country. So don't blame it on Texans.
And what's a lufa? Do you mean loofah, maybe? As in Bill O'Reilly, Loofah Boy? What's he got to do with this?
Why aren't these repug assholes admitting that they tore up Iraq, killed millions, mangled millions more, looted their country and murdered a head of state just to show his pappy he can do what he can't? chimpy is the worst.
Now we have general bullshitter and his partners in crime lying to us continually.
chimpy doesn't even lie and say it will take another 6 months to end his war any more. The idiot just says fuck you all, I will leave my mistakes to the next president. What a load of steaming hot crap.
It's official. Bush wants to kill us all to fulfill his fantasies of the Apocalypse.
Good comments tonight!
Paul deserves all the praise he has gotten on this site. It is a shame that we are not talking about the Bill of Impeachment that should have come out of the Judiciary committee charging Bush and Cheney with "high crimes and ect." Maybe Paul will become the first "Presidential candidate" from either party to sign on.
Douglas Fife deserves a great deal more attention than he is getting. It is worth restating, that the office he ran in the DOD generated "false and misleading intelligence" that was used to justify a war. Why his activities are so note worthy is the fact that to knowingly provide false and/or misleading information to the President is called treason (even if it is authorized by the Sec. of Defense or the VP). Many always believed that McNamara's confession (in his book) that he knowingly provided false and misleading information to Johnson during Vietnam was enough to justify charging McNamara with treason. Also lets not forget the 58,000 deaths that were or could be considered a direct result of his actions.
Fife's statements in his book and on 60 minutes should raised questions as to just how and why this "bogus intelligence" was given a higher priority than that of the rest of the intelligence community. Another little item, Fife had his security clearances yanked in 1991 or 92. What could possibility justify the return of TS security clearance to a person considered to be a "Security Risk"???
After watching Fife explain how everything he did was exactly prefect but the resulting failures of those actions was not his fault, I have to agree with Franks' assessment of Fife, yes he is the stupidest fucking man on this planet.
New World Order @ 11:
good to see a Senator putting the obvious illogicality of what is going on out there into the public domain.
Constitutional lawyers and bloggers have been calling out on these points for years, finally we get our opinions quoted.
It always amazes me when people say there is "no light at the end of the tunnel". When I hear that they make it sound like the U.S. Government itself is the only factor that matters in Iraq and that all they have to do is find the right strategy to make it work. That simply is not the case. The U.S. military is a big factor but its not the most powerful one. There are many factors and players with in and outside of Iraq that are equal to or more powerful than the U.S. military and its that which the American people over all refuse to recognize.
New World Order @ 17:
Military showing up in all their glory wearing full dress uniforms for a civilian political hearing could be seen as an attempt to intimidate,
echoes of the Greek colonels or South American juntas.
Likewise Gen. Hayden when wearing his CIA hat and doing PR stuff before the cameras in full dress uniform.
I would bet this practice started during the reagan years with its slavish worship of anything in uniform,
and the US mil trying to rehabilitates its image post Vietnam defeat.

Foot and Mouth is curable and mostly non fatal in livestock, but expensive and theres strict international rules on exporting and importing animals which could be contaminated.
As in most things in modern monoculture farming, money and stupidity rule the roost, F&M only kills off the weakest in any herd and would soon be a non issue if proper breeding and traditional selection processes were followed.
In the UK the gov inspectors themselves were spreading F&M between farms due to shoddy sterilization practices between inspections, this was exposed by journalists in the media.
Theres been many reports of wild Deer going down with BSE symptoms near animal research stations in the US,
either its only there that students are bothering to monitor wild deer in the areas or things could be escaping from the lab.
Theres a good reason to do certain research off shore and practice good barrier methods.
"And what big EYES you have, grandma."
"The better to see the success of the surge with, my dear."
I was watching Lou Dobbs on CNN yesterday speaking with some retired military officer about Petreaus's testimony and troop levels. Dobbs apparently could not understand why they can't just put more troops in Iraq if needed. I mean, he makes it sound like there are thousands of extra combat troops just sitting around in the U.S. with nothing to do. That simply is not the case. The Officer then brought up the fact that the U.S. military has a whole array of ongoing missions to contend with and Iraq and Afghanistan are just the most well known. Those other commitments also affect troop levels and are part of the overall rotation. There are U.S. troops in Columbia (counter drug and counter terror), Philippines (counter terror), Djibouti (counter terror), South Korea (technically remains at war with North Korea), etc. There just isn't enough combat troops available to carry out any more missions so they are pulling people from other branches or MOSs, and retraining them as replacements.
Then, Dobbs was curious as to why the military is having a hard time expanding or attracting recruits. The reason for that problem is obvious. Its not because the average citizen doesn't like the military or that its not a great career choice or that it doesn't pay very well. The simple fact is that most people, including the military itself (I.E. very low morale) has little to no confidence in its civilian or military leadership. We see that in low recruitment rates, Bush's low poll numbers, low approval for the wars themselves, etc.
The proud parents of Ambassador Crocker announced the engagement of their son to General Petraeus in Washington today. The couple met on an evening in a zone described as a green environment during the katusha festivals. They have since spent much of their time there since.
A fall wedding is planned however, the date yet remains about one Freidman unit away. The shock and awe felt when told our Ryan had found that special someone will prepare us for the October event.
The happy couple have announced plans to reside in DC and have their eye on a couple of Houses.
gulfcoast @ 48:
i will spell lufa any which way i please...thank you
as for the perv, what he has to do with this, is that he has made a career attacking those he feels dont stand up against child abuse
as for texas...hell yes, fuck texas...and let me explain why
texas dcfs is one of the worst in the country, but texans couldnt give a shit
and this wasnt some tiny little compound in the middle of nowhere...this was a huge place, and apparently dcfs and law enforcement knew for a very long time what was going on in that compound, and yet did absofucking nothing
in fact, it appeared that the entire surrounding community knew what was going on, and did nothing
im so sick of the excuse....oh, but we didnt know
I haven't seen any deviation in the Iraqmire agenda since the US began its occupation. Pelosi, Reed, no help there. Rhetoric upon rhetoric. There is a despotic, rackateering, hegemonic, greedy profitaria ruling this milquetoast legislation, and frankly, I couldn't get much more aggravated with the constant news of death opening its greedy mouth up in Iraq and swallowing soldiers, civilians, swallowing whole the kicking and screaming future of an already troubled country.
Maybe if 1% of this big ol' retarded John Sousa country wasn't in control of the majority of its wealth, maybe that would make this obcene age vanish again. Let it go dancing back into the rotten grave from once it sprung. Push it back into the shadow of a failed era.I live in democracy's graveyard.
Maybe partying will help.
Silly me. I thought the surge was going so well, too. I half expected Petraeus to say that with the oil revenues earned by the Iraqis, they bought every child a pony, and the troops were already headed home, under a shower of rose petals. But, NO.
Only 190 more, six-more-months till "mission accomplished".
Man, that's creepy.

FEAR!!!!!! (A specialty of "little men" trying to pass themselves off as "superior")
A simulated outbreak of the disease — part of an earlier U.S. government exercise called "Crimson Sky" — ended with fictional riots in the streets after the simulation's National Guardsmen were ordered to kill tens of millions of farm animals, so many that troops ran out of bullets. In the exercise, the government said it would have been forced to dig a ditch in Kansas 25 miles long to bury carcasses. In the simulation, protests broke out in some cities amid food shortages.

I'm tellin' ya... Bush wants Armageddon to be here right fucking now. While there are rumblings of a food crisis about to hit the entire world, what does the Bush Admin do in its infinite wisdom? Have the DHS move research facilities on foot and mouth disease from an isolated island to the mainland in the middle of a bunch of cattle ranches. How much do you want a bet that there's an "outbreak" within months after the facility moves that wipes out most of the livestock and who knows what else?

I agree, the draft is coming and at some point they will have no choice but to do it. Even with those bonuses, recruitment is still down or if you look at Bush's "numbers" recruitment is at least on par. Lets face it, even with those high bonuses no one is exactly standing outside of recruiting stations pounding on the doors to get in to serve the Bush Administration and I can't say that I don't blame them.
The odd thing is, I've been talking to many war supporters and boy are they enthused about Bush's wars. As soon as you bring up the possibilty of the draft though most respond with "If that happens I'll run!". They don't even bother to hide their cowardice.

From CNN:
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) – Hillary Clinton used her trademark laugh Thursday to deflect a question about the $800,000 her husband earned in 2005 giving speeches for a Bogota-based group that supports the Colombia free trade agreement — the same trade deal she currently opposes.
Asked by CNN if those earnings represented a conflict of interest given that she has dipped into her family's pocketbook to pay campaign bills, Clinton threw up her hands and laughed loudly for several seconds.
"How many angels dance on the head of the pin?," she responded, continuing to giggle. "I have really, uh, nothing to … I mean, how do you answer that?"
Italics and Bold mine.

The military leaders should have NO SAY in matters of international policy. They should be called upon ONLY in situations warranting a LAST RESORT tactical necessity. They have been courted FAR too often and have historically led this nation into paths of aggression and un-American policy. The LAST thing the USA needs at this point in our history is a military leader guiding the decisions of this nation.

2002 Rangel (D) "Bring Back the Draft"
2004 it gets stuffed by Congress but....
I wonder if the pro war Congresscritters of both parties have any plans for 09 and the hundred years war !?
http://www.slate.com/?id=2077346
In an April 17, 1971, piece in the New York Times, Rangel argued that the proposed "volunteer" force would be "a lie." Poor minorities, in need of employment, would wind up volunteering and "doing the white man's dirty work," he wrote, while "white Americans could then sip cocktails and watch the black Hessians make war on their color television sets, just like the plantation owners who sipped mint juleps on their verandas and watched the darkies toiling in the fields." Rangel insisted then—as he insists about his calls for conscription today—that he wasn't being facetious to prove a point, that he believes a draft would be better than our current military.
But Rangel also wrote in his 1971 article, "There is only one way this country can get its young to loyally perform military service. It must begin to institute morally just foreign … policies." He may have been overstating the case; whether or not young people will gladly head into battle probably doesn't hinge on the justness of the war. But with this much Charlie Rangel surely still agrees: Without a just war, it's impossible to have a just draft.
as somebody anonymous once said
"which came first ! Congressional ownership of the MIC, or the profitable MIC inspired wars"
BUT, but, but...that nasty old liberal organization MOVEON inferred he might be GENERAL BETRAYUS...they weren't far off were they?

A love story...
A man and a woman who had never met before, and were both married to
other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
Trans-continental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were
both very tired and fell asleep quickly...He in the upper bunk and she in the
lower.
At 1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,
"Ma ' am, I ' m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the
closet to get me a second blanket? I ' m awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let ' s pretend that
we ' re married."
"Wow! That ' s a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she replied. "Get your own damn blanket."
After a moment of silence, he farted.

Hi tyree, hi uncle joe - thanks for saying (and directly!) what so many of us think.
It's hard for them to swallow, but, good Texans are as good Germans used to be - nobody sees or knows anything that goes on around them.HUNDREDS of children abused, without the basic education, and NOBODY doing anything abt it ??!! With that, why animals would be treated any better ??
Animal Planet is more human then many our sheeple, errr, humans, are - and, the LuFA spelling is perfect spelling .. Concern trolls wouldn't know.
Yes, we do have many good all-American Germans in other States, but, this is NOT anything to follow or be proud of !! The world hates our United Sheeple of Amureeca not only b/c of booosh, but precisely b/c there are too many heavy-duty all-American GOOD GERMANS among us - and the sheeple just follow to jump down the cliff when instructed.
and couldn’t find a job paying more than 12 dollars an hour. He will be paying off his student loan for the rest of his life.
The figures on unemployment were always a ruse. If they had measured underemployment, people would have been in for a shock. And that situation will only get worse now that we are heading into a recession.
I hate to say this, but America seems to almost be decaying. And it seems as though it has set in at all levels. At the level of the presidency, there is Bush. At 'street leve', there is that case of those girls who kidnapped another girl and beat her in a locker room, filming all of it so that they can post it on Youtube. There are so many stories like that, every day.
Some form of cultural and moral rot.
American death toll in Iraq today stands at 4032. The estimated Iraqi death toll is 1,197,469.
And Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Rice, and all their co-collaborators are still walking around free and unimpeached.

Disgraceful the way you internet dwellers attack a man who has accomplished more than you will in your entire lifetime. He deserves our respect whether you agree with him or not. He isn't a politician, he is reporting based on what the situation is in Iraq, of which we know next to nothing about. Sorry that he does not agree that we need to get out right now but that is a foolish argument. He made it very clear that we need to make the necessary adjustments to win the war and promptly get out.
You people that go after his service are pathetic, seriously look at your selves and your pathetic lives. All you have to do is attack an honorable man? Fucking losers.
Bill @ 119:
Disgraceful is taking orders from a retarded monkey; disgraceful is that you or anybody else for that matter can believe anybody can win anything when we lost the second Monkey King ordered invasion. Nobody who kills people for a living (especially based on %100 pure lies from Florida) is honorable. Sorry, on that point I don't even have to beg to differ. If George Bush was my boss, I'd sure as Hell find another job. You're pathetic! Oh Tooly, suck up to the Anus who says we've got to spend 9 billion dollars a month occupying a nation illegally for how long until we win? Bechtel/Halliburton/KBR/Blackwater, are pleased as punch! Of course, who's getting the shitty end of the stick? Your children's children, every poor soldier that is there, is going to be there and who may or may not die there for the King Monkey Follies and of course, every second class human/Iraqi person who was either murdered, lost family and friends they had loved or who are still completely butt-fucked by this administration's arrogant military blunder of the millennia. Fuuuuuuuuuuck you! You can behold the general as holy for his service but I don't when it is clear that we as a nation were and continue to be wrong. The general in my view is a key part of the problem now.

Yo, that is a scary picture. The only thing missing are the horns and the long, pointed tail.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel in Iraq. Because Iraq is a cave. A dark, scary cave. In that cave is a big, big bear and he is going to eat us alive. The end.
