Where do these Bushies come up with these fantastic ideas? Former UN Ambassador John Bolton discusses his desire to bomb training camps inside Iran, stating “This is entirely responsible on our part.”

Responsible? Yeah, like we’ve seen how ‘responsible’ the Bushies were when they bombed Iraq. There were so many WMDs in Iraq that they couldn’t find them after the dust settled. Yeah, real ‘responsible!’ Now there is speculation, at least according to Bolton, that Bush will bomb the training camps before the end of his term. Wonderful! Create another international incident by bombing the shit out of some rocks and sand in the Iranian desert somewhere to really, really leave your mark before leaving office!

I wonder if he realizes that the supposed training camps inside Iran that would be on his hit list are probably not close to any major populated cites or towns, but rather a few tents in the middle of somewhere close to nowhere in Iran. So Bush is planning on dropping a few bombs worth probably several million dollars on a few patches of desert that may or may not contain the training camps he thinks they contain, in hopes of destroying the camps’ infrastructure, causing it to cease to exist? Oh please!

The least the Bush Administration could do after the loving 7 year trusting relationship we’ve had together is give us a little more credit! Taking out a few tents in a desert somewhere is not what the plan is, but rather Iran’s nuclear facilities is! Unless, of course Iran’s nuclear facilities are enclosed in tents in the middle of a desert somewhere, in which case I stand corrected! The only reason he probably hasn’t already started the bombing is because we are waiting for China to take their lien off the bombs he wants to drop!

Besides Bush’s love for making things go “boom,” the other reason his approval ratings are so low is because he has hard time telling us the truth!

Like it or not, torture is not considered ‘cruel and unusual’ punishment as defined by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Appearing on CBS 60 Minutes last night, Justice Scalia argued that the torturing of detainees does not violate the 8th Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, because torture is not considered a punishment.

So there you have it, a Justice of the highest court of the land has confirmed that torture is not unconstitutional! It is interesting to note that during the interview, as if he was no longer willing to argue his point on the matter he bluntly states, “anyway, that’s my view, and it happens to be correct.” Then finishes off with a shit eating grin!

Let me know when we are supposed to feel proud about this “view.”

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini, said on Sunday that an attack on Iran is unlikely because of the “disastrous situation” facing the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the U.S. domestic situation.

“We think it would be unlikely the Americans would take the decision to get themselves into a new fiasco, the consequences of which they themselves have acknowledged would be painful for the region and the world.”

Think again Mr. Hosseini. If he really thinks that the Iraq or Afghanistan quaqmires, OR concerns about trivial things like money will stop Bush from launching an attack on Iran, he is sadly mistaken. Bush has been beating the war drum for a while now trying to muster support for an attack on Iran. Like Iraq, he is doing his best to find excuses for an attack, and those that he can’t find, he is more than capable of making up.

So a warning to Iran, never ever underestimate the thinking of a man who is really past the point of giving a shit anymore!

What happened in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas last week could be a precursor for what the future holds for this country. We should be outraged at what happened, but not surprisingly very little has been reported by the media.

As reported by commercialappeal.com, Federal agencies conducted a coordinated operation called “Sudden Impact.” The operation was billed as a regional “anti-terrorism initiative,” which entailed searching for and serving fugitive warrants in spot checks of vehicles, boats, businesses and homes. Other media outlets reported computers and papers being removed from businesses that were targeted, under the guise of the Feds were “trying to track down possible terrorists before something big happens.”

It was reported that when the operation had ended, a total of 332 people were arrested, of which 142 were fugitives. Money and drugs were seized, and a total of 1,292 traffic violations were issued. That’s it!

Not one mention of a search warrant being issued, or any evidence of probable cause. The only excuse the Feds needed to stop and search your vehicle or boat, or raid your house or business was that they were looking for fugitives, and “possible terrorists.” That’s it!

The war on terror is coming soon to your front door, or place of business. Don’t think it won’t, because I’m sure the residents of Memphis thought the same thing until their privacy was interrupted by the search for “possible terrorists.” It’s all coming together in George Orwellian fashion. Soon you won’t know who’s listening in on your phone conversations, or when they are watching you surf the internet. They already know where you shop, and what you buy if you use a credit card or debit card. They know what you look like because of the cameras in the ATMs and check out aisles of your favorite stores. The only thing they don’t know about you, is what you are thinking at this exact moment, but don’t worry, they’re working on that technology as we speak!

Warrantless wiretapping, and search order-less searches and seizures of property. All of which this government is guilty of enacting, for as they want us to believe is for “our own good!” Well, no good can come of this, no good at all. Our (un)elected government is taking our society and propelling it backwards in time to the days of Nazi Germany, and cold war KGB where one had to always be on guard for who might be listening and watching your every move, and be careful that you kept your thoughts about the government to your self.

Bush’s “war on terror” is coming to your neighborhood. Just ask the people of Memphis!

Sources tell ABC News that Top Bush advisors approved ‘Enhanced Interrogation.’

As the Bush ship continues to sink, more and more dirty little secrets of this Administration are starting to leak out. The one in which the Bush Administration will undoubtedly be judged the harshest for is the use, or better yet “legalization” of torture. We’ve endured being lied to by Bush as he defiantly stood in front of the American people and the World and insisted “We do not torture.”

Well, in fact it has been proven that we do torture. Not we as a people, but rather they as our government. Bush’s most senior advisors convened secret meetings in the White House beginning in 2002 to discuss the use of “combined” interrogation techniques. As if torture wasn’t enough, they discussed using several techniques at once to coerce terror suspects to talk. These tactics included slapping, pushing, deprivation of sleep or subjecting them to simulated drowning, a.k.a waterboarding.

The members of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, all approved of these techniques. Who are the members of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, you ask? Well, we know them very well. Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, George Tenet, and John Ashcroft, are the ones who are responsible for bringing shame to this country by approving the use of torture.

So this Administration’s stance has gone from one of total denial, to “well, we kinda, sorta tortured,” to the revelation of a full blown conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity. At least one of the conspirators got something right out of their top secret meetings. According to a top official, Ashcroft asked aloud after one meeting: “Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly.” Yes, yes I do believe he is correct in his assumption.
