Clearly indifferent to the presence of the camera. Impressive.

Ambassador Edward Peck: Meet The (White) Man Who Inspired Wright's Controversial Sermon http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/21/meet-t... And what, exactly, did Peck say in a Fox News interview that inspired Wright's words?
Here are some quotes from an appearance the Ambassador made on the network on October 11, 2001, which may or may not have been the segment Wright was referring to. On the show, Peck said he thought it was illogical to tie Saddam Hussein to the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and that while the then-Iraqi leader had "some very sound and logical reasons not to like [the United States]," he and Osama bin Laden had no other ties.
From there, Peck went on to ascribe motives for what prompted the 9/11 attacks. "Stopping the economic embargo and bombings of Iraq," he said, "things to which Osama bin Laden has alluded as the kinds of things he doesn't like. He doesn't think it's appropriate for the United States to be doing, from his perspective, all the terrible things that he sees us as having been doing, the same way Saddam Hussein feels. So from that perspective, they have a commonality of interests. But they also have a deeply divergent view of the role of Islam in government, which would be a problem."

I am so pissed off. I want to bury this issue now so that the country can vote on the real issues in November.

Just saw this....
According to federal campaign records, Stanley's Chairman and CEO, Philip Nolan, has made political contributions to prominent Republican candidates and also gave $1,000 to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign on Feb. 20, 2008.
Stanley is the firm that hired the snoopers that looked into Obamas files.

just read this at Kos:
"Today, Barack Obama criticized John McCain for mistakenly saying that Iran was sending aid to al Qaeda in Iraq, which is not true. And afterwards, President Bush told McCain, 'Don't worry about it. I didn't know that either.'" ---Jay Leno

I'm sorry, Nigel, but you are clouding the issue with FACTS!

The "Surge" isn't looking so good all of a sudden. Maybe Sen. John McCain maybe should cool it down a bit. From the Aussie press:
THE success of the US "surge" strategy in Iraq may be under threat as Sunni militias employed by the US to fight al-Qaeda are warning of a national strike because they are not being paid regularly.
As far as the truce from the Mehdi Army for over six months...... Mehdi Army fighters attacked police patrols in southern Baghdad overnight, police said on Friday, further fraying a seven-month-old ceasefire called by Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to rein in his militia.
We win hearts and minds the old fashioned way: We bribe them.

THE CAT"S DIARY
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
