The Hollywood Liberal

Straight from the front lines of Iraq, comes a new documentary movie called “The War Tapes.” It is the true story of 3 soldiers from the New Hampshire National Guard, who were given cameras, and volunteered to go out and film what they saw and did while they were on a one year tour in Iraq. The soldiers from Charlie company 3rd Battalion of the 172nd Infantry Regiment, were sent to Camp Anaconda in the Sunni Triangle, are
Sgt. Stephen Pink, Sgt. Zack Bazzi, and Specialist Mike Moriarity.

The 3 men take their cameras with them wherever they go and shoot everything they see. Right near the beginning of the film they explain their main duty in Iraq which is to accompany KBR/Halliburton trucks which are carrying supplies, and food. While they are in their convoy the trucks are often attacked by insurgents with IED’s, (Improvised Exploding Devices) on almost every trip there is an explosion nearby, Caused by insurgent attacks, the soldiers then try to fight back. The main problem always seems to be that they do not know where the blast came from so they fire hundreds or thousands of rounds into the darkness in hopes of hitting the unseen attackers.

In a series of voiceovers of the men one of the real reasons for the war is explained.. I paraphrase: KBR (Kellogg, Brown, and Root)/Halliburton controls everything over here. They have their hand in every single thing that goes on, and they are making a huge profit on all of it. KBR/Halliburton is the company who’s former CEO is Dick Cheney, Cheney also still owns thousands of shares of stock in the company (433,333 to be exact) and is therefore a war profiteer.” They guard the trucks that carry food, soda, ammo, and fuel all of which Halliburton makes the army pay obscene amounts of money for.

Disgraced, Rep. Foley exits in a hurry

Excerpt
WASHINGTON – This time there were no tortured explanations, no heels dug in, no long, slow drip of revelation or fight for redemption. Rep. Mark Foley R-Fla., just up and quit after his e-mails expressing undue interest in a 16-year-old male page were exposed to the nation. Less than six weeks from a tough election for Republicans who control an already ethically tainted Congress, the more common stick-it-out approach to scandal was cast aside.

“Resigning leaves your attackers nowhere to go,” said Eric Dezenhall, a crisis-management consultant. “If this had dragged on, it could have sucked Republicans into the vortex of scandal.”

H.L.s Take: Sounds to me like the Republicans suck themselves into the vortex of scandal all the time, and I do mean “Suck” Hey Cons when is the next family values lecture????

This is what happens when self loathing sexually repressed people with a Hitler complex try to pretend they are normal. To further repress their criminal desires they get involved in Republican politics thinking that if they can impose their dictatorial will on an unwilling population who is against thier facism, it may help them bury their true desires. Every now and then one of them snaps and goes out and does something like this.

STOP REPUBLICAN PEDOPHILIA

Excerpt:

Republican Committeeman John R. Curtain was charged with molesting a teenage boy and unlawful sexual contact with a minor.

Republican zoning supervisor, Boy Scout leader and Lutheran church president Dennis L. Rader pleaded guilty to performing a sexual act on an 11-year old girl he murdered.

Republican congressman and anti-gay activist Robert Bauman
was charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy he picked up at a gay bar.

H.L.s Take: Well…you get the idea, check out the link for all the rest of those dirty con perverts.

H.L. is proud to welcome a new sponsor. Congress in 30 Seconds
Make your own video and send it to your congressmen telling him to get to work, and to get him to post his schedule, so we can see when he is golfing with big donors, and when he is actually helping the people that elected him. The site has audio and video clips that you can mix and match to create your own 30 second video. They will then be voted on, best video wins a cool $5,000. Go on over and make your own video.

If you tried to get on in the past day or so you saw that we were offline, that is because a sleazy web host company called doteasy.com threw me off for having too much traffic despite the fact that I paid for a full year of unlimited traffic. You know those bastards are not going to refund my money for the rest of the year either. We have moved to a new web host and are back online thanks to Marc Perkel and The Church of Reality. The changeover is not fully complete yet, so I’ll be back a little later with some stuff. I got lots to talk about. See you soon.

News Item: Bush dismisses Clinton critique as “finger-pointing”

U.S. Army extends Iraq duty for 4,000

AP
Excerpt:
WASHINGTON – The Army is stretched so thin by the war in Iraq that it is again extending the combat tours of thousands of soldiers beyond the promised 12 months — the second such move since August.

The extension reflects a dilemma for Army leaders: either keep one group of soldiers in Iraq longer than promised, or replace them with another group that has not yet had its minimum 12 months at home between combat tours. Either choice risks upsetting some soldiers and their families. And the fact that the choice cannot be avoided is a sign that troop rotations in Iraq are squeezing the Army from several directions.

Some members of Congress are expressing concern that the military is over-stretched by the war. On Monday, Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., said the situation in Iraq is “disintegrating” into a civil war.

H.L.s Take
Thats right Arlen, pretend you care enough to raise a stink about it, but then cave in at the last minute like you always do. How many tours will these soldiers have to do before they start speaking out against the colossal monkey failure that their mission is. Most of them still Love Bush and are happy to die for him.

He’s got to be hating this.

Diplomat: U.S. to overlook Chavez barbs

AP
Excerpt:

CARACAS, Venezuela – The verbal attacks Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched against President Bush should not affect diplomatic relations between the countries, the U.S. ambassador said Monday.

My government’s position is that we are going to ignore, we can ignore and we should ignore the words. It’s the actions that count,” Brownfield told the local Globovision television network.

“This bilateral relation is so important for the two countries that we try to ignore the polemical words, the rhetoric.”

Officials in Caracas and Washington have exchanged harsh words and accusations in recent months amid increasingly tense diplomatic relations between Venezuela and the United States.

H.L.s Take
Bush has got to hate it when someone tells the truth about him and gets away with it. It must be the first time in his life it has ever happened, but Bush is owned by those oil boys so he has to take it until he can find a way to have Chavez killed and take over his countries oil like he did Iraq.

In April, President Bush received the National Intelligence Estimate, which “represents a consensus view of the 16 separate spy services inside government.” NIEs are “the most authoritative documents that the intelligence community produces…and are approved by John D. Negroponte, director of national intelligence.”

Here’s what the NIE said, according to the New York Times:

[T]he American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks…The report “says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,” said one American intelligence official.

On August 21, President Bush held a press conference and told the American people the exact opposite. Click on Pic to See Video:
