More Proof That Our Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Sons and Daughters in the Military Are Simply Expendable Property to Those in Power

Couric Continuing as Republican Mouthpiece

Katie Couric is continuing to help the Republican cause by her attacks (although well veiled) on Barack Obama and her support (not as well veiled) for John McCain. In recent interviews with both presidential candidates, Couric is very pointed in her attempts to get Senator Obama to admit that the "surge" in Iraq has worked, while basically ignoring the points he makes in why he did not support the surge. She completely ignores the other options - instead of sending more troops and money into Iraq - that were available to us at the time. Couric also does not challenge McCain at all in her questioning of him about the success of the "surge." For example, she could have asked:

• Senator McCain, isn't it possible that the success of the surge is only temporary?
• Senator McCain, do you believe that this increased presence of American troops in Iraq will have to be sustained for weeks, months, or years to come in order to keep the violence levels low?
• Senator McCain, is it not possible that the surge will create new resolve for those who have been the cause of violence against our soldiers in Iraq to fight even harder or find new opportunities to attack them?
• Senator McCain, are there better ways that the money being spent on the surge could have been spent to secure a peace in Iraq and help the citizens here in the United States?

However, these questions nor any like them were asked of Senator McCain. Cowardice and complicity - apparently that is all CBS expects from Couric.

If Obama Is Wrong, Why Follow His Plans?

The Bush Administration has slammed Mr. Obama's belief that our government should engage in talks with Iran concerning their development of nuclear power. They also shunned the idea of moving troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. Yet, in the past few weeks they have been doing or planning to do exactly those things. Can the Bush Administration make its hypocrisy any more obvious? Do they really believe that we are all so stupid that we will accept these actions as their own, when they openly criticized these ideas only weeks earlier when they came from the mouth of Mr. Obama? Wake up, Republicans. We don't all watch Fox News like your sheople do.

Lieberman Has Lost Common Sense

Senator Lieberman has become a complete hawk. He supports the war with Iraq despite the fact that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The terrorists did not originate from there, and Saddam Hussein was a sworn enemy of Osama bin Laden. Now, Lieberman wants us to consider a military strike on Iran because of their "involvement" in Iraq. What a dolt! If we had never invaded Iraq, Hussein would still be in power, keeping Iran at bay and being no threat to us. Instead, because of Lieberman's beloved war with Iraq, Iran's power is now growing in the region, - especially in Iraq - and they are developing nuclear technology. Yes, we do need to keep a trained eye on Iran, but a strike at this moment would not be wise. Our military is over-extended, under-protected, and new recruits are under-trained. Those who are injured do not receive adequate care and support. Obviously, this is no matter to Lieberman. His children are not going to die in this war. I wonder how many Lieberman, Bush and Cheney relatives are serving on the front-lines in this war. How easy it must be to stick out someone else's neck.

Why I Don't Trust Conventional Media News

Publisher Murdoch gets nipped by his own paper | Lifestyle | Reuters

Rupert Murdoch is one of the bigger reasons that I do pay any attention to the Big Four media corporation's news outlets. In fact, I consider them to be the Big Three since MSNBC/NBC is so intimately in bed with FOX news. Whatever the situation, when people like Murdoch have control over what news we see and hear and what we don't, it is difficult to believe what comes across the wire. So much of it is twisted, watered down, or simply omitted that there is little reason to put faith in its validity. Murdoch, in particular, is one of the most twisted minds in corporate America. He wants us to still believe the lies that raised support from the American public for the war in Iraq, despite evidence from the current administration's own members that the intelligence was not trustworthy and in many cases, completely false. He wants us to forget about Darfur and the killing and torture of innocent Christian men, women and children there who refuse to convert to Islam. He wants us to believe everything negative about the Democratic candidates for the Presidency of the United States and especially about that dangerous, rogue Republican candidate, Ron Paul who dares to hold true to the original Republican values o small government, non-interventionist foreign policy, upholding the Bill of Rights and being true to the Constitution of the United State of America. Yes, Murdoch is a problem, along with the rest of the corporate media news outlets. If he ends up in control of the Wall Street Journal, I do not have an idea of who we will be able to trust in reference to financial news and information. Let's pray it doesn't happen.

Has Any Other President Spewed So Much Bovine Dung?

Bush sees al Qaeda hand behind Iraq attack plots | Reuters

Despite mountains of evidence showing that the violence in Iraq is being created between Sunnis and Shiites, Bush is continuing his attempts to convince us that the fight in Iraq is about Al Quaeda. What does it feel like Mr. Bush, to speak and have the large majority of our nation not believe what you say? Obviously, it matters none to you. Why should it when so very few are willing to call you to the carpet, to demand accountability, to speak truth to power? One of those who is not afraid to speak the truth, Dr. Ron Paul, is growing in popularity and scaring the supposed frontrunners of your party. The truth is being spoken, heard and believed, Mr. Bush. Your little coup is about to end.
