Ron Paul Donates Educational Books To Giuliani

    We all know that Ron Paul is a very long-shot for the Republican presidential nomination, but he did do something useful today, very useful.  He gave contender Rudy Giuliani a list of foreign policy reading material ( books ) as proof of Paul's contention that the U.S. military presence in Iraq is what has been fueling the Islamic attacks country-wide.

   Ron Paul is one  of the few Republicans who thinks that we should not be in Iraq and he favors a limited U.S. foreign policy world-wide as well as a troop reduction level.     Source

Ron Paul: "I'm giving Mr. Giuliani a reading assignment.I don't think he's qualified to be president. If he was to read the book and report back to me and say, 'I've changed my mind,' I would reconsider."

   Paul has given Giuliani the books because of Giuliani attacking him during the Republican debate when Paul pretty much said that it was the United States foreign policy that got the towers attacked on 9/11, which Giuliani said is wrong. Can Rudy even read?

Giuliani: "I don't think I've ever heard that before, and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations for September 11th."

  On Paul's latest comments, Giuliani spokesperson Maria Comella, in an email to the A.P. said, "It is extraordinary and reckless to claim that the United States invited the attacks on September 11th."

"And to further declare Rudy Giuliani needs to be educated on September 11th when millions of people around the world saw him dealing with these terrorist attacks firsthand is just as absurd."

  This would be one of the GOP frontrunner's still stuck in that lovely state of denial. It would also be a bit more truthful if Giuliani's people would stop saying that he dealt with the terrorist attacks when he in fact dealt with the mess afterwards. That was not in a very good way, it would seem from the stories now coming out.

   Rudy Giuliani is no more a leader than George Bush is and I think we have had more than enough of that type of leadership.

Sectarian Violence Up In Baghdad

   HERE is the latest on the sectarian violence in Baghdad, which has gone back up once again.

  A month before Bush's troop surge went into affect, there were 321 bodies found littered throughout the Iraqi capitol. In this month of May, up until this past Tuesday, there were 321 unidentified bodies found with alot of them showing signs of having been tortured and executed.

   These stats come from an Iraqi Health Ministry official who is anonymous since he isn't supposed to release this information to the public, or anyone else for that matter.

Lt. Gen. Aboud Qanbar, the Iraqi commander overseeing the security plan, acknowledged in an interview that the number of unidentified corpses is rising and said there has been a spike in sectarian assaults by Shiite militias, especially elements of the Mahdi Army, the militia of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

In the 14 weeks preceding the start of the plan on Feb. 14, at least 821 people died in 11 attacks -- typically suicide car bombings -- that killed more than 20 people at a time, according to a Washington Post analysis. There have been at least 20 such attacks in the 14 weeks since the start of the plan, causing a death toll of at least 1,098, the analysis showed.     Washington Post

  Bush and his boys keep saying that the violence is down in hopes of the U.S. citizens supporting his ill-advised surge and to keep the money coming from Congress.

   The Democrats in Congress are going to give Bush his money without a withdrawal timeline for this crap? I think that the Democrats just bought Bush's war from him.
