Gates Says 'Escalation' Is About Iran

   Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told NATO this morning that the surge is really all about saving face with Iran, not the protecting the 'young democracy' crap from Presidents Bush lying mouth!

   From The Guardian

Increased US military activity in the Gulf is aimed at Iran's "very negative" behaviour, the Bush administration said today.

The defense secretary, Robert Gates, told reporters that the decision to deploy a Patriot missile battalion and a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf in conjunction with a "surge" of troops in Iraq was designed to show Iran that the US was not "overcommitted" in Iraq.

Such remarks, following the prospect of "hot pursuit" raids into Iran as raised by George Bush in his televised address last week, have fueled speculation that the US is softening up the American public for possible action against Tehran.

   Our President might want to watch what he does before he really pisses off the middle east! But then, he and the Christian Right are trying to bring World War 3 into being anyway.

Bush Undermining The Judicial System

    I ran across this posting on one of my favorite sites today.That would be Daily Kos for those of you interested.

   The article is about President Bush and his coy way of subverting the judicial process. It makes for some interesting reading so here is a partial piece of the story.

New Dangerous Judicial Subversion by Bush

Our Constitution's balance of power provisions have taken a huge hit under Bush: first is the amassing of unprecedented power by the executive; the second is the reduction of the legislative role to simply that of an advisory group.

And now the administration is secretly undermining the judicial branch.

The quote below is part of a letter by Senator Dianne Feinstein: http://feinstein.senate.gov

"It has come to our attention that the Bush administration is pushing out U.S. Attorneys from across the country under the cloak of secrecy and then appointing indefinite replacements without Senate confirmation. (Ed. emphasis mine) We know this is not an isolated occurrence, but we don't know how many U.S. Attorneys have been asked to resign -- it could be two, it could be ten, it could be more.  No one knows."          Entire Article

The article goes on to mention that this little provision was placed into the Patriot Act reauthorization last year.

   I'm telling you  my fellow Americans! The Bush Crime Family is working on a dictatorship because they have to much money at stake in their illegal dealings and such.

   This presidency and this administration is nothing but an on-going war profiteering enterprise!

    I am sure that the evidence for impeachment is out there somewhere and we must find it. First off though, we have to get Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leaders to get off of that kick about impeachment being off the table!

    Call,write,phone,or fax you Representatives and Senators and tell them what you want to have happen. The time is now to begin the processes!
