If you listen to the Republican spin you might start to think that elections are a bad idea.....It was just so convenient that the Foley sexual predator scandal came out "right before an election"....and now those damn "insurgents" are increasing their attacks b/c of the US elections.
Well, Mr. Bush...The New York Times HELD BACK the wiretapping story (while you campaigned and told the American people that no such program existed) when you were running for re-election...they held it for an entire year. I guess you prefer the media to listen to your commands...
Now you have the military making this political spin with no proof whatsoever. It's more feasible that the insurgency is "surging" because it's the month of Ramadan and the attacks typically increase during this time period. Combine that with the fact that you recently fired two of their top leaders who were top commanders in the police force, along with arresting a top leader on Tuesday.....and you have stirred up a hornet's nest.
Now you are using the military to put out Republican spin and distort our political process evidenced by the daily press briefing by Major General Caldwell yesterday.
Precise quotes are difficult because CNN broke in with a special report on Caldwell's daily briefing. They QUICKLY cut away after the Major General uttered two sentences to cover some dribble (It may have been the sting ray that jumped into the boat and attacking an elderly man)......But here's the gist of what Caldwell said.
Caldwell stated that the stepped-up insurgent violence may be part of an effort to influence the American elections....so far so good Caldwell is following the Republican line.Previously, Caldwell consistently blamed the increased attacks on Ramadan...but "today" he started using the Republican "spin." I doubt that was an accident and probably one reason why CNN was featuring this as a "special report" and broke into their progarmming with the briefing.
I have a feeling CNN cut away from the briefing because of what he started to say after this. Caldwell went on to say that the Baghdad situation is "deteriorating" (attacks increased by 22 percent). Caldwell said that the "Forward Together" plan is not working and needs to be reassessed. Despite increased US troops and joint US/Iraq operations.
The US Military should not be used to sway political elections....The military should not just state a Republican talking point with no evidence to back it up. This is the Pentagon INTERFERING with the American election process.
According to Will Bunch, "What General Caldwell said amounts to political slander. Democrats and others who care about the political process here at home should comdemn it quickly, because slander has a way of spreading....The Congressional Iraq Study Group says that civil war is weeks away, even though it looks like it's here already. Why isn't CNN reporting this story by the Reuters news agency, that Sunnis in parts of Iraq are already declaring an independent state..."
Shame on George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and the Republican party for using the Pentagon to help them spin and try to win an election.

My Buzz on the Film--Path to 911
What Path to 9/11 Should Show—
1—The Secret Energy Task Force Meetings with Big Oil and VP Dick Cheney and their plans and schemes for the Iraqi Oil Fields.
2-The players involved in The Project for a New American Century and the desire for a new “Pearl Harbor” so they could launch their agenda.
3—The transition of the White House from the Clinton Team to the Bush Team…..The Bush team making fun of the Clinton team and Clinton's “obsession” with Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda.
4—The CIA is seriously concerned about an impending attack by Al Queda in the United States. It is so serious a threat that they must interrupt President Bush’s month long vacation at his ranch in Crawford Texas. A CIA agent is flown to Crawford to brief President Bush….At the end of the briefing Bush tells the CIA agent that his ass is now covered so he can go.
This report is given to other top officials in the Bush Administration….No one takes any action.
5. 9/11 occurs….show what all the top folks in the Bush Adminstration and the Pentagon are doing during the early morning hours and throughout the day….(Including the canceled airline travel that some were to take that morning).
6. Reenact the scene of George Bush reading the goat story to the children in the elementary school and show the discrepancies leading up to it (what he knew before he started reading and what he was told while reading the book)
7. President Bush finally boarding a plane and being flown to a secret bunker in the Midwest….until he surfaces to say I’m the President and I’m in charge.
8. The Bush White House grounds all planes.
9. The Bush White House gives approval for chartered jets to fly around the country picking up Osama Bin Laden’s relatives and flying them out of the country even though the FBI wanted to interrogate Bin Laden’s relatives.
10. Osama Bin Laden takes credit for the 9/11 tragedy.
11. Bushvows to get Osama Bin Laden Dead or Alive.
12. The EPA is told by the Bush administration to falsify their data and tell New Yorkers that the area around ground zero is safe.
13. No evidence from the building is kept…even though another building collapses that was not hit by a plane.
13. The discovery of unusual trading and stock options (including the airline industry) and how some got rich off of 9/11. This sort of trading results in an automatic investigation of the stock trades. In this case, no investigation has taken place.
14. Osama Bin Laden (very tall Arab who is on dialysis DAILY) cannot be found.
15. Resources are taken away from the hunt for the 9/11 villains and used to launch a war on a country and a people who had nothing to do with 9/11.
17. CIA concludes that Osama Bin Laden released a tape during Bush’s second election campaign in order to get Bush re-elected.
16. We are now stuck in an Iraq quagmire….millions have been made by Cheney, Haliburton, BIG OIL, and other Bush Cronies.
17. Osama Bin Laden is free, has bases in Pakistan that are now “allowed” by the Pakistani government, and he is able to continue his Al Queda operations.
18. Bush continues to stay the course, and the war profiteering is continuing….
19. The Body Count of how many US Troops, Iraqi troops, and Iragi civilians (men, women, and children) have died.
Are you kidding? It’s a crucial election and the corporations want to keep the feeding trough open. They are going to air a FICTIONALIZED version of the events blaming Clinton for 9-11.
ABC and Walt Disney want to keep a Corporate Controlled Congress in place.
Hopefully, the backlash from the American people will not only install a Democratic Congress but create a nationwide boycott of ABC and an international boycott of Walt Disney.
