"Bush Backs Brother Jeb for White House "


Excerpt:
ORLANDO, Fla. - President Bush suggested Wednesday that he'd like to see his family's White House legacy continue, perhaps with his younger brother Jeb as the chief executive.
The president said Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is well-suited for another office and would make "a great president."
"I would like to see Jeb run at some point in time, but I have no idea if that's his intention or not," Bush said in an interview with Florida reporters, according to an account on the St. Petersburg Times Web site.

H.L.s Take: Will this be the thing that finally pushes the Democrats to admit to themselves that they have had the last 3 elections stolen from them due to Diebold, Sequoia, and ESS, and that THEY are responsible for whats going on now??? or will they throw 2 more elections over to The Bush Crime Family????

Its Only 300 Billion

If We Can Fund the War in Iraq, Why Can't We Fund the Kyoto Protocol?

For the United States, the cost of the Iraq war will soon exceed the anticipated cost of the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement designed to control greenhouse gases. For both, the cost is somewhere in excess of $300 billion.
These numbers show that the Bush administration was unrealistically optimistic in its prewar prediction that the total cost would be about $50 billion.
And the same numbers raise questions about the Bush administration's claim that the cost of the Kyoto Protocol would be prohibitive, causing (in President Bush's own words) "serious harm to the U.S. economy."

Bush's war: A 'constant fog over the political landscape'

Excerpt:
Iraq has become "just a constant fog that's settled over the political landscape," says Amy Walter of the non-partisan Cook Political Report. It obscures other issues and intensifies feelings that the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Seven in 10 Americans now say they're dissatisfied with the way things are going in the nation.
The war also has spawned a new class of candidates: Iraq veterans. At least eight are running for Congress — most of them Democrats in uphill races against Republican incumbents.

Interview with Ray (Why did you Lie Rummy) McGovern.

BuzzFlash: The key point from our perspective is you caught him in a lie.

Ray McGovern: That’s correct.

BuzzFlash: You quoted from an interview with George Stephanopoulos, when Rumsfeld was saying that he knew sites in Iraq where there were weapons of mass destruction. And his argument back to you during this question-and-answer was that he never really said that. He just said that he suspected there were some areas where there might be.
