Surely Americans want to believe President Bush when he optimistically characterizes Iraq, as he did Monday, as having reached a “turning point” by gaining a “free and constitutional government” over the weekend. But one measure of how things are going looks bad: The administration’s own Voice of America bureau in Baghdad remains closed six months after the car of its sole reporter, Alisha Ryu, was ambushed. Her security guard was later shot and killed. Ryu told The Washington Post this week, “For all journalists, it’s really become impossible to move around.”

Thanks to Bush, the Iraqis and the Palestinians now have the moral high-ground, and the Iraqis are not dumb enough to think that Bush will allow anything except an American puppet government to lord over their oil.
Before America sold its soul to the Zionists, we stood for something worthwhile. Now we’re just like they are in that we just take whatever we can take.

Any people think that all the violence only happens in Iraq and because of Bush?
There was an interesting statitic that I heard. It had to do with murder rates per 100,000 people. And believe it or not, places like Detroit, D.C., Philly, Pre-Katrinia New Orleans had a higher murder rate than Baghdad with all of the bombings there.
Joe – I have seen those statistics and they are not correct. They relate solely to gun deaths, ignoring minor little things like IEDs.
And Rumsfeld is going to tell the truth about how many Iraqis he’s murdered? Hello? Rumsfeld lies and lies and lies. Bush lies and lies and lies.
NO Truth, No Justice and the American lie courtesy of AIPAC { our new Zionist-run-wing of governmental propaganda }.
Congress rubber-stamps whatever AIPAC {representing the Zionists } wants. If their greed runs the price of gasoline up to 4 dollars a gallon, well that’s just too bad.
The American People have wadded passed the Zionist propaganda and want our soldiers to stop dying for Israeli greed. Americans want their sons and daughters to come home alive with all their arms and legs.
Bush and the new Butcher of Israel, Olmert, have other plans.
Americans do not want to pay 4 dollars for gasoline but Bush and the new Butcher of Israel don’t care about that.
Americans don’t want their Representatives in congress to spend money like a drunken sailor but Bush and the new Butcher of Israel don’t care about that as long as Israel can build themselves new houses on Palestinian land.
At what point do Americans kick AIPAC out and have congress put America first? Without fear of reprisals from AIPAC?
AIPAC is not a “Lobby” but rather an Agent of a foreign Government and needs to to barred from congress, and sifting through Top-Secret Documents.
4% of the population do not need to run America, as an unencumbered 51% by consensus do.
E.G. An American helicopter gunship given to the Zionist-Jews hovers over Gaza City waiting for the main street to become over- crowed with Palestinians in search of food.
When the timing is right for the largest number of mostly women and children to be murdered and maimed, the Zionist helicopter crew fires its missiles.
Bodies go flying everywhere and the Zionist say they were trying to kill suspected “terrorists”
How much longer does The United State continue to finance this shit.
The “Head-Shit” just addressed a joint Session of Congress and got two standing ovations.
The “Head-Shit” got a warm welcome in the White House by our “Head-Shit” Bush.
Truth Justice and the American Way?
Haaretz: “Olmert returned to Israel yesterday with a clear sense that Bush is going along with his convergence plan.”
{ Translation: “convergence” is a new word to describe “stealing” Palestinian Land }

Note: If there weren’t so much bloodshed this would be funny.
Ben, I guess you’re just not as dead if you get blown up by a roadside bomb. Joe demonstrates how republicans keep getting it wrong.
Ed – I also was disappointed in Bush’s apparent endorsement of the land grab. I guess that means Bush has abandoned his so-called roadmap.
XXX
I don’t think we can blame this on Republicans or Joe. We’ve all let the Zionists lower our standards to theirs.
The misrepresentation Joe quoted has become “par” for the course.
The United States is a “superpower” and all that power has gone to Bush’s head, and Bush is not equipped to handle all that power.
He’s a stupid jerk and we all know that, so why is he still there?
Ben
The “road-map” was never designed to form a Palestinian State, it was designed to stall for time.
Before “Bush” the United States adhered to international law.
Not any more.
Ariel Sharon had us drop our membership in the Court, because they were prepared to indict him for war-crimes.
For clearing-out settlers from the Gaza Strip { for an open-air prison for Palestinians } and receiving death-threats Ariel Sharon said: ” I can’t believe they’d treat me this way after all I’ve done for the Jews.”
The Zionists don’t really consider themselves to be Jews.
Again Ariel Sharon said: ” I want nothing to do with the religious party” { when forming his government }.
Zionists offer to teach Americans how to be ass-holes.

Some Americans apparently need no training.
I’m surprised they didn’t suggest putting it several miles INSIDE Mexico.
NYT:
“WASHINGTON, May 25 — A military investigation into the deaths of two dozen Iraqis last November is expected to find that a small number of marines in western Iraq carried out extensive, unprovoked killings of civilians, Congressional, military and Pentagon officials said Thursday.”
Bush murderers 100,000 Iraqis and the Zionist-Jew York Times makes a big deal out of this.
I’m so impressed with the Times being so forthcoming as to bring me to tears……. sniff sniff
{ and I take back saying they were ass-holes, but that still leave me calling them ass-holes 9,564,678,432,909,564, times }.

Well, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Bush’s “road-map?” I didn’t think you needed a map to go to Hell. I guess that stupid bastard does, although I surprised he could read a road-map { unless it had a picture of a “goat” walking along.
Goats don’t go to Hell,…. hell, he’s got the wrong road-map again.
Now, go back and get the one with the picture of a Goat on it.
It’s a shame that the Zionists have so disfigured the Holy Lands with monuments to their greed.

Official: Iraq civilian deaths unjustifiedROBERT BURNSAssociated PressWASHINGTON – Military investigators probing the deaths last November of about two dozen Iraqi civilians have evidence that points toward unprovoked murders by Marines, a senior defense official said Friday.
War veteran Murtha was reviled for revealing this information earlier.
Haaretz:
“Currently, another academic boycott of Israel is being organized in Britain.
When I was on sabbatical at Oxford University in 2003-2005, I was astonished to see how many professors and students at the renowned university viewed Israel and Zionism. At Oxford there is a strong intellectual stream that identifies Zionism with racism, imperialism and colonialism. The control of the territories, the settlements and the view of Israel as a refuser of peace have contributed to this, but we would be mistaken if we were to think that the problem will be solved with the withdrawal from the territories and the establishment of two states for two peoples.
In the view of many people at Oxford, the original and historic Zionism is racist. The people of the first immigrations are perceived as white European colonialist settlers who, like the settlers in South Africa, came to a land that was not theirs in order to exploit the Palestinian natives. Time and time again I heard that Israel is an apartheid state. Speakers who express this win gales of applause.”
