AMERICAblog: Iraq continues to confuse and befuddle McCain
BLOGGING BITCH!

He's so misinformed that he could visit that same roadside stand where Senator Graham got his rugs 5/$5.00 because of the violence.
McCain would rather spend the money to desensitize Americans to their natural affection for their children. Children are born for Republicans to kill.

Nothing to see here....move on...we've got racists and gay marriage and electronic voting ready for November....Exxon-Mobil will continue to enjoy their much needed tax breaks because John McBush will hold the power for them. Just ignore shit like this....90% of this nation will not give a shit about the election by then anyway.

So many things confuse and befuddle McCain. Getting out of bed in the morning, eating breakfast without drooling, answering softball questions from the designated reporters pool, and then there's that Hillary woman and even a black man to cope with . . . confusion! befuddlement! We are so disrespectful to our damaged veterans. He should be wrapped up in a blanket and escorted to a safe home where he'll be able to sit quietly and maybe even smile occasionally. It would be best for him. I care.
As it became clear last week that the Operation Knights Assault in Basra was in serious trouble, the George W. Bush administration began to claim in off-the-record statements to journalists that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had launched the operation without consulting Washington. The effort to disclaim U.S. responsibility for the operation is an indication that it was viewed as a major embarrassment just as top commander Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker are about to testify before Congress.

We should have had those necktie parties for the Rethug traitors when we could. Not doing so has only emboldened them and in many ways paralyzed the Dems.

Thanks for that link. it makes it perfectly clear that Bush continues his deny, deny, deny administration. God almighty, I am getting damn tired of that moron creating messes and then denying any involvement. How anyone can vote for McCain who vows to continue Bush's war is beyond me.

I cannot recall the exact timing, but Cheney was in Iraq just days before this BASRA fiasco right?

CNN reports independent truckers may strike as early as this weekend. They're paying $300 more for a tankful of diesel than last year, and are not allowed to pass on these costs to whoever they haul for. Many have already gone bankrupt and the extra costs are killing those who operate on a slim margin already.
If they do go on strike, expect shortages everywhere, depending on the products. You can do without a new computer, but you do need food.
Just wish the rest of the country had the balls to do a general strike. Just to stay out of work everywhere for just one day...

Older and Wiser, let's also remember that today is April Feulish Day, a day to skip gasoline purchases. Just for one day, let the petrolium industry go without making a profit. Just for one day.

O&W, April Fuelless Day was discussed on ecofriend.org. I don't recall exactly where. It's one of those low-key, grapevine type thingies that made life go around back in the DayoftheHippies. Remember the pre-cyberspace grapvine? The concept is: April Fuelless Day, Go all day without buying fuel! Let the petroleum companies have a day without profit. It'll help them develop an eco-conscience. We can do it again next year with better advertising.

And, if independents aren't allowed to pass on fuel costs to the producers, why the hell are their products going up in price when they haul by independents? Just another way the consumer is being scammed.

i think McCain would have a lot more credibility if he'd dye his hair mousy brown like Lou Dobbs has. He'd look younger and maybe smarter.

McCain will be swept away in November in a storm of political anger. Don't forget, this is an election on Bush. The sheeple screwed up and voted for him twice but they will retroactively vote against him by voting against McCain. Democrats strongest message is a vote for McCain is a vote to continue Bush.

I always assumed these trips to the war zone where merely photo ops. What kind of independent view or information could these folks be getting anyway?

It's also a complete lie. American forces coordinated with the Iraqi offering air support, and other support. How int he world are we supposed to believe that Malaki just unexpectedly moved his army down there and started plinging away???

I'm feeling better and better about Obama's chances. He's drawing more independents and Rethugs than Clinton anyway, and here's hoping only the crazed 30% who still support Bush will vote for McCrazy, esp. after all the crap about him comes out fully. And he needs money, which he's not getting.
Just wish the MSM would wake up to what's going on, and not depend on their dumb-ass polls.

Again...you gotta know, the US forces are directed by US leadership ONLY, and Iraqi are guided and vetted by US as well. They don't do things "on their own". NEVER WILL when using US forces for support in any capacity. This is something that is true everywhere. US forces do not let other nations direct them. This is all an attempt to distance a badly executed route.

just look at how vice-presidential Lou Dobbs looks these days...he's dye-ing to be McGeritol's VP BFF...and he could help pull in votes from the GOPer racist base too!
I see they are all reading from the same sheet...written by Joe Isuzu...
The deal stopped short of disarming the militia and left Iraq's U.S.-backed prime minister politically battered and humbled within his own Shiite power base.
However, al-Maliki insisted in the statement issued by his office that the operation launched a week ago Tuesday had achieved "security, stability and success" in Basra.

TV's biggest buffoon
Oooh, the competition is fierce...the cable air thick with buffoonery and deception...but, nasty old Lou takes a large piece of the cake with his retro Father Coughlin brand of hate-filled fascism. If only Lou would purchase a Waterpic or a Sonicare along with regular flossing...yeaaccch, one could build another Lou with the debris. And, while I've mentioned Candy Crowley's ill-groomed, slaggy look in these spaces, I feel compelled to say Ms. Crowley looked rather stylin' over the weekend! Thank-you, Butterqueen!

Oh what I wouldn't give to have our two Democratic candidates set aside their differences for a while and start whip-sawing McCain back and forth between the two of them. Can you imagine what that would be like? McCain would either be ready to drop out of the race after a couple of weeks or he would be the laughingstock of the world.

It is so obvious. Just like Bush, McCain does not understand the problems of the US. What are McCain stand on issues? He flip flops so where does he really stand?

from swimming freestyle:
"John McCain has admitted he's clueless when it comes to the economy. (Fear not - he's checked out Alan Greenspan's book from the library). He's made it pretty clear he intends to run on his military record and gung ho, never mind the facts, position on Iraq. That might be OK if he could just get the details right.
I don't know why goper people continue to consider old and senile mccain as their candidate for the goper nomination. He's a pathetic excuse for an American citizen and would do very poorly in trying to improve our tattered image to the world.
But if he wants to make sure the rest of the world think we in the US are a bunch of ignant hillbillies with no edumication beyond the 6th grade, then he's the perfect example of that.
Perfect example to what happens to people when the repulsicans continue to cut funding in education and science. Because I am sure if we had real stem-cell research, we can finally cure old and senile mccain's alzheimer disease. Unless, of course, he's truly ignorant of facts, much like those who watch faux news, then I am sure there is nothing that can be done but put him in a home in a few years for his twilight years and remember him as the delusional successor to the failed Monkey King Bush.

I think Maliki was acting on guidance from Cheney who was recently in Iraq.
