Here's another shock.......

This the day after the GAO report, even after the White house made them revise it, said the Iraqi gov't has only met 3 of 18 goals.
For generations to come, we are guaranteed to have waves of hate filled Iraqis trying to kill us at every opportunity.
We must stop the NeoCons before they get everybody, everywhere killed.

Advisers Tell Bush to Stand Pat on Iraq

You need to read the rest for yourself. This drives me insane with rage.
Pelosi and Reid better get their butts in gear, hell, the whole damn Congress better get their butts in gear and kick these bastards out, NOW!

I'm discouraged

i know it's temporary and will pass, but, i gotta tell ya, i've just finished my early morning news skim and all i see is a bleak vista of a country and a presidential administration headed rapidly downhill with all the speed and power of an out-of-control freight train... from the account of robert greenwald's congressional testimony on war profiteering in alternet (drawn from his movie, "Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers"), to our lying attorney general and world bank president, both of whom still hold office, to the iraq war funding bill passed yesterday that bush says he'll veto, to the two-star general saying that the hadita massacre didn't deserve an investigation, to darth continuing to lie about the iraq run-up, to democrats climbing in bed with bush on free trade, to the totally bullshit story about bush (again) being open to compromise, this time on iraq benchmarks, WHERE, i would like to know, is the reason for optimism...?

p.s. i'll get over it... i have a half-day drive ahead of me to a smaller town where i begin teaching a graduate class this evening... it'll keep my mind off of doom and gloom and might even improve my outlook, who knows...
