Smell the stink?

The government is in the grips of ideologues behaving like a motorcycle gang because they imagine a perfect world of compliant citizen droids driving SUVs to 12-hour work days while their children subdue infidels all over the globe. A perpetual campaign against the messiness of diversity is central to that perfect world.

Newsday.com - Business: Long Island and New York City. Apparently no US factory had the spare capacity to produce Bush/Cheney 'o4 clothing, forcing the campaign to have merchandise produced in Myanmar, by workers making a munificent seven cents an hour, as well as in Mexico .. peddled clothing made in Burma

There have been 718 coalition deaths, 616 Americans, 59 Britons, five Bulgarians, one Dane, one Estonian, 17 Italians, two Poles, one Salvadoran, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and three Ukrainian, in the war as of April 5, 2004. There have been 3,457 U.S. troops wounded in the war, according to the Pentagon. This list is updated regularly.

A look back at the historical record shows how the G.W. Bush Administration has summarily fired, threatened, intimidated and defamed anyone who has had the courage to tell the truth.

I will not abide liars!

At the request of Rep. Henry A. Waxman the Special Investigations Division compiled a database of statements about Iraq made by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice. All of the statements in the database were drawn from speeches, press conferences and briefings, interviews, written statements, and testimony by the five officials.

The Iraq on the Record database identifies 237 specific misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq made by these five officials in 125 public appearances in the time leading up to and after the commencement of hostilities in Iraq.

THANK YOU, Rep. Waxman

Could this be the set up for an election year surprise?
