Making a lie, checking it twice
“Working at his desk in the Oval Office, President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word.”

Their house of lies is crumbling
The attacks on Bush from the mainstream are getting bolder. The NY Times and Washington Post are openly questioning Bush now, a pleasant change from their previous role as compliant mouthpiece.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee suggested Wednesday that the White House might bear some responsibility <might?> for President Bush’s faulty charge that Iraq tried to buy nuclear weapons fuel from Africa.
Cheney under pressure to quit over false war evidence
“Dick Cheney, the US Vice-President and the administration’s most outspoken hawk over Iraq, faced demands for his resignation last night as he was accused of using false evidence to build the case for war.
He was accused of using his office to insist that a false claim about Iraq’s efforts to buy uranium from Africa to restart its nuclear programme be included in George Bush’s State of the Union address - overriding the concerns of the CIA director, George Tenet.
Mr Cheney was also accused of knowingly misleading Congress when the administration sought its authorisation for the use of force to oust Saddam Hussein.”

CIA didn’t get disputed documents until February 2003 after Bush claim
“When the Bush administration issued its pre-war claims that Iraq had sought uranium in Africa, the CIA had not yet obtained the documents that served as a key foundation for the allegation and later turned out to be forged, U.S. officials say.”
This firestorm rages larger every day. As I’ve said before, pass me the gasoline.

General says Iraq is a “guerilla war”
“The commander of US troops in Iraq says coalition troops are facing a classic guerrilla war following continuing attacks that show no sign of letting up.
New Central Command chief General John Abizaid also said American forces must adapt their tactics to crush an increasingly organised, cell-based resistance led by loyalists to the former regime.”
He is also quite cranky about US troops who dare complain about being lied to and misled.
“The new U.S. war commander today took exception with American soldiers who, angry over extended tours of duty in Iraq, criticized Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in televised interviews on ABCNEWS.
“None of us that wear this uniform are free to say anything disparaging about the secretary of defense, or the president of the United States,” said Gen. John Abizaid, the head of U.S. Central Command.”
Touchy, touchy…
He may have been referring to U.S. soldiers who have created their own Most Wanted decks, “The aces in my deck are Paul Bremer, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush and Paul Wolfowitz.”
When your own troops hate you, I’m guessing things have gone badly astray.
Santa Monica farmers market tragedy

Santa Monica farmers market tragedy
“An 86-year-old man drove his car the length of the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market early Wednesday afternoon, apparently hitting freeway speeds as he plowed through a crowd of peak summer shoppers.” At least eight are dead, 50 hospitalized, many with serious injuries.
We all read about such ghastly events. Yet when they happen someplace we know, as in this case for me, well, then it’s not just pictures in the newspapers. I know the area well, and have shopped at that Farmer’s Market So far, no one I know was hurt or killed. Which will be no consolation to those who know the injured or knew the dead.

I don’t get it. Yes there are ancedotal accounts of elderly people saying they lost control of a car, confusing the accelerator for the brake. But this assault-by-car lasted for 2 1/2 blocks. The driver went around the barricades blocking off the street, then continued at “freeway speeds” hitting people. He’s 86, raised in Santa Monica, so he’s probably been driving for 60+ years. Stepping on the brake when there’s a problem is virtually instinctual.
How can you keep accelerating for 2 1/2 blocks when you are hitting people? My parents are well into their 80’s, and they are as baffled by this as anyone else.
