I’m heading over to a moveon.org house party in which the big 3 will be on a live video hookup and other house parties from around the country will be able to ask them questions. I went one of these one other time when Fahreinheit 9/11 Came out and they had Michael Moore, it was a nice little party. This one is at a different location. Full report in the morning. See you then.

Excerpt:
When George W. Bush announced he would execute a “troop surge” to send more American soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan in January 2007, it was billed as an increase of slightly over 20,000 soldiers that would cost less than six billion dollars.
“America will change our strategy to help the Iraqis carry out their campaign to put down sectarian violence and bring security to the people of Baghdad,” Bush announced in a prime-time televised address. “This will require increasing American force levels. So I’ve committed more than 20,000 additional American troops to Iraq.”
The “surge,” recognized as an escalation by many, was immediately controversial for several reasons — not the least of which was a concern that the increase of 20,000 American soldiers might turn into a much larger US presence in Iraq, and a much more expensive one, than promised.
Three months after Bush’s announcement, those fears have come to fruition.
Let’s take a look at the numbers, in both troops and dollars…
HL’s Take
The Democrats keep giving Bush a mile, and he continues taking 10. Of course right about now They are probably saying. “who could have forseen giving Bush what he wanted would result in him wanting even more (and more and more) of course since Bush is in the business of war for profit (you didn’t think he was in the business of helping America did you?) He will keep wanting still more, and he will get it.

Cost Of The Iraq War. $4-6 Billion For a Lie. |
Where's Osama?On Sept. 11th, 2001 George Bush said he would catch bin Laden dead or alive. He never did, we used to run a counter showing how many days it had been, but Obama finally took care of it for him. Just another Bush lie. |
The Hollywood Liberal started in 2004 at the height of the Bush Administration madness in America. We were inspired by the late great Bartcop.com. The very first thing I did when the site started was to get arrested at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York. My arrest at the start of a march from The World Trade Center was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. On New Years Eve 2014 the case was finally settled, with a judge awarding a class action suit that I was part of over $26 Million. I posted daily on the blog up until the end of The Bush error, and the site is now run as a history of the whole fiasco. Feel free to browse the old postings, pictures, & comics (an HL favorite) It reveals the twisted history of the times. Thanks H.L.
