Iraq Study Group Report Angers A Few

    I am still hearing the cries from some of the GOP faithful/idiots who seem to think that this report was a waste of time.

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page said the report was a “strategic muddle,” Richard Perle called it “absurd,” Rush Limbaugh labeled it “stupid.”   Is Rush in any spot to have an opinion on anything of importance? The New York Post called former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton, a former Democratic member of Congress “surrender monkeys.”

   The problem with these shitheads is that they were expecting more of the Bushco " stay the course" message from the study group so that the Democrats would have to give in and tow the line with the Crime Family. That is the GOP's idea of partisanship.

                              ---------------------------------------------------

    Senator John McCain of Arizona, a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, rejected the major recommendations of the group because they did not present a formula for victory. Mr. McCain, hoping to claim the Republican mantle on national security issues, has staked out a muscular position on Iraq, calling for an immediate increase in American forces to try to bring order to Baghdad and crush the insurgency.>> NYTimes

   I once was a fan of Mr. McCain until the torture bill sham came up. I think that it is time for the senator to go back out to the desert and retire peacefully. This man has been hanging around Bush to many times and he has lost his friggin mind!

The Russian Poisoning

   I have not kept up with this story to much only because I figured that it would get more interesting later on. Well, it is later on!

    Meet Boris Berezovsky, a former mathematician turned billionaire who made most of his money thanks to a friendship with Boris Yeltsin after the break-up of the  Soviet Union.

    Berezovsky got very good stakes in the oil company Sibneft, the TV station ORT and Aeroflot. With all of the political power that came with all of the wealth, Berezovsky supported Putin's bid to become president in 2000. Guess that he figured that he would have a puppet on the inside much like Halliburton has with Bush.

   Only problem with that was that Mr. Putin had other ideas such as cutting back on the rising democracy that Russia was heading to and taking back some of the businesses that Putin thought should be run by the state.

   Mr. Berezovsky has made some interesting friends since his asylum in Britain.

                                ----------------------------------

    To the annoyance of those who consider him an outlaw, Berezovsky has been photographed with Neil Bush, President Bush's brother. Bell, the public relations executive in London, said he introduced Berezovsky to Neil Bush in 2003. Berezovsky later became an investor in Ignite! Learning, Bush's educational software company.   WaPo

    Figures that there has to be a Bush in there somewhere.
