The coward Karl Rove, chief henchman of the Bush regime, continues the campaign to smear their fellow Americans, while his bosses miserably botch the fight against our true enemies.
I heartily echo Todd Gitlin's words at TPMCafe yesterday:
Karl Rove's thuggery at last night's New York Conservative Party bash has to be smacked down, but for far more than being what Chuck Schumer called "divisive." We need to "divide" the country against the likes of Rove.
This is the true face of the Bush crowd: extremism in pursuit of vice.
No mere apology from Rove can cure the cancer at the heart of the Bush administration. Bush himself should resign, and take his entire administration with him. The longer they remain in power, the more dangerous the world becomes, the less safe this country becomes, and the more Americans and others will die.
U.S. General Sees No Ebb in Fight
WASHINGTON, June 23 - The top American commander for the Middle East said Thursday that the insurgency in Iraq had not diminished, seeming to contradict statements by Vice President Dick Cheney in recent days that the insurgents were in their "last throes."
Though he declined during his Congressional testimony to comment directly on Mr. Cheney's statements, the commander, Gen. John P. Abizaid, said that more foreign fighters were coming into Iraq and that the insurgency's "overall strength is about the same" as it was six months ago. "There's a lot of work to be done against the insurgency," he added.
CIA says Iraq is now a terrorist training ground
WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - The CIA believes the Iraq insurgency poses an international threat and may produce better-trained Islamic terrorists than the 1980s Afghanistan war that gave rise to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, a U.S. counterterrorism official said on Wednesday.
A classified report from the U.S. spy agency says Iraqi and foreign fighters are developing a broad range of deadly skills, from car bombings and assassinations to tightly coordinated conventional attacks on police and military targets, the official said.
If ever a President and his entire cabinet deserved to be impeached, it is now. This goes beyond corruption—all the way to incompetence—and is a true life-and-death matter.
The only conceivable way the Republican Congress would ever consider such an action is with tremendous pressure from the people who voted them into office. So, until November 2006, this is in in the hands of grassroots Republicans. Will they hold their leaders accountable? Or will they join Rove in shifting blame to their fellow Americans?
