Cindy Sheehan is back outside Dubya's ranch, demanding an answer to a simple question, for what did her son die?
A recent poll shows that half of Americans still think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, regardless of the total lack of evidence.
In related news, half of U.S. still consists of utterly moronic gullible cowards unable to take responsibility for their own misguided wrongheaded mistakes. Cowards, every one of them.
57% of Americans want Congress to pass a resolution outlining a plan for getting U.S. troops the hell out of Iraq.
Oh, and Dubya's approval rating is still below 40%.
Cheney makes the usual tough guy statements about not leaving Iraq. Blitzer asks Senator Biden is he want to respond. Biden says "No, I don't want to respond to him. He's at 20 percent in the polls. No one listens to him. He has no credibility. It's ridiculous."
Damn straight!
An actual Republican actually stands up to the other Senators and criticizes them for avoiding serious debate on the War on Iraq.
Remember back in May 2005, when Cheney said the Iraqi Insurgency was in its "last throes?" Cheney doesn't. Well, he does, he just interprets his own words differently than, say, a rational person.
Dubya snubs the Norwegian Prime Minister.
Hey dubya: "Spis Mei!"
Questioner from the audience at a Rumsfeld lie session tears Rummy a new one. Some facilitator finally ends it saying that the debate was over. Sure was. Rummy was grasping at straws.
And who was this pinko bastard asking these seditious questions? A 27-year veteran of the CIA.
Link provides the video.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers gets $243 million to build 150 health care clinics in Iraq.
They only manage to finish 20 of them.
Once again it becomes terribly obvious that the Iraqis were better off before the Invasion. Hard to believe, but sadly true.
Americans and Iraqis continue to die in the Iraqi Civil War. This short essay compares the deaths lately (500+ Iraqis in the first half of April alone) with the total lack of movement towards a real government.
The US Embassy being built in Iraq is huge, the size of Vatican City.
The US will never give up control of Iraq. Never.
You won't see it mentioned much in the media, but the Iraqi Civil War violence continues, with another 26 Iraqis and another 4 Americans dead.
Should former rabid Iraq hawks like Newt Gingrich now get a free pass because they're starting to criticize the war?
This essay argues against any such leeway.
Another day, another poll showing Dubya's approval at an all-time low.
This time it's an ABC News/Washington Post poll. Only 38% approve of Dubya's job performance. Nearly everyone else, 60%, disapproves. Of those, 47% strongly disapprove.
Wow! That's nearly half the country! Probably related is that 58% now say the War on Iraq wasn't worth fighting.
More violence in Iraq as a car bomb kills 6. Deputy Interior Minister Hussein Ali Kamal admits the obvious: "Iraq has actually been in an undeclared civil war for the past 12 months"
More violence in the Iraqi civil war as suicide bombers kill 79 and injure another 164 at a mosque in Baghdad.
Audience member tells off Dubya, saying "I would hope, from time to time, that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself."
Dubya doesn't care.
More bad poll news for the Republicans:
70% of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. (In other news, 30% are just plain stupid.)
Only 36% approve of the job Dubya is doing.
Only 40% agree with Dubya's foreign policy.
Only 35% agree with Dubya's handling of Iraq.
Only 30% approve of Congress in general.
And, finally, Americans want the Democrats in control of Congress instead of the Republicans by a margin of 49% to 33%.
In between drinks, Senator Edward Kennedy wrote a book taking Dubya to task over his illegal invasion of Iraq.
Referendum in Wisconsin calls for bringing the troops home.
It passes.
Handily.
