And why I'm not watching the Sunday talk shows that I used to watch so much.
I didn't buy the New York Times today.
I won't purchase them at the newsstand ever again.
I did purchase the Boston Globe and my local so the friend I have can read the sports. Only reason I bought them.
So let me give you my confirming journey this morning.
So I lay out the front section of the Globe.
Nothing on the front page, as usual.
Flip. Then I'm stunned.
"Bush says US on track to withdraw 20,000 troops from Iraq"
More on that later.
But since I flip through, I flip, flip, flip, and find this:
"Afghan police struggle in vast rebel provinces"
It's a Globe pick-up from the New York Times, and I didn't read it.
The Times told me Afghanistan was going well, soo.....
As for Iraq, NO ONE WAS KILLED YESTERDAY, but we do have this:
"Iraqis OK bill to reinstate ex-Ba'athists"
"Well then what was the point of the damned invasion?!?" -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened
"Fire risks found at US embassy in Baghdad"
"Blackwater vehicle repairs could snag shooting probe"
Yeah, that's called a COVER UP!!!!!
Pfffffffttt!!
And these?
"American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan"
Whatever.
Flip, uh-oh!
"Deadly echoes of foreign wars rattle US, as veterans struggle to regain footing"
That's from the NEW YORK TIMES, readers!!!!
You know, the PAPER that SOLD the LIES to get us INTO THESE WARS -- and is SELLING A THIRD AGAINST IRAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, the MSM is shoveling this shit:
"Warrant issued for Marine sought in death of pregnant colleague"
I mean, tragic story, but doesn't affect ME or YOU -- not like ELECTION FRAUD or WARS based on LIES that the same-shit MSM PUSHED and SOLD to the American people.
And they CONTINUE TO with their BULLSHIT-TOSSING, WAR-MONGERING on Iran!!!
Well, FUCK YOU!!!
Yup, will have to disarm the returning vets just like the What Really Happened radio show was talking about yesterday!!!
Wasn't that a GREAT BROADCAST?
Then there is this DIVISION-DRIVING SHIT in the Zionist War Daily:
"Changing the pronoun in abortion"
Turning to the local, I can add on this johnny-come-lately economic news:
"Some Fear Economic Stimulus Is Already Too Late"
O.K., back to that beginning propaganda (with local add on):
"Bush open to slowing pullout of US troops in Iraq; Withdrawal tied to leveling off of violence Meets envoy and Petraeus" by James Gerstenzang, Los Angeles Times | January 13, 2008
MANAMA, Bahrain - President Bush said yesterday that the United States was on track to bring home at least 20,000 troops from Iraq by this summer, but he stressed that he was willing to slow or halt the drawdown "in order to make sure we succeed."
After meeting in Kuwait with his top Iraq commander, General David H. Petraeus, and Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Baghdad, the president presented a mixed picture of the conditions one year after he sent additional troops there.
Bush, referring to the reduction in violence toward the end of 2007 after the deadlier months at the start of the year, said that extremist militias had been disrupted but they remain a concern:
"We cannot take the achievements of 2007 for granted."
With a stop at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, the president was as close to Iraq as he is scheduled to get on his eight-day trip through the Middle East and Persian Gulf, unless he makes a detour to the war zone. The US supply base is about 100 miles from Iraq.
Bush, speaking to about 3,000 American troops who had gathered in the open on a chilly morning, delivered a seven-minute pep talk:
"There is no doubt in my mind that we will succeed. [When the history of the early 21st century is written], the final page will say: Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world."
That is just OFFENSIVE!!!!!!
The MAN is INSANE!!!!!!
He's brought TWO WARS to the region, and is PUSHING A THIRD -- all on a CROCKSHIT of LIES!!!!!!!!!!!
From a regime that TORTURES PEOPLE!!!!!
HE SAID THAT!
PUUUUKE!!!!
Bush was encouraged yesterday by news that Iraq's parliament had approved legislation reinstating thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein's dissolved Ba'ath Party to government jobs.
Yeah, why did we fight this damn war then?
Bush also received a lavish welcome in Bahrain, where he met with King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. Men in robes and headdresses waved swords and danced to rhythmic music in a palace courtyard. The president and the king were presented with swords and flashed them skyward.
Look at this propaganda!!!!! Yeah, everybody loves him!!!
Can the MSM be anymore discredited?
This a day after he GROVELED BEFORE Iz-ray-HELL!!!!!!!!
Administration officials have spoken for several weeks about their goal of reducing the Iraq deployment by five brigades by July, from a high of 20. That would bring the number of US troops in Iraq below 140,000, from the 158,000 who were in the country at the end of December. There were about 130,000 US troops in Iraq a year ago when Bush announced he was sending more.
Bush said that he had told Petraeus:
"But if you want to slow her down, fine. It's up to you."
Yeah, and FUCK YOU, American people!!!!!!!
The meeting with the top US military officer and diplomat assigned to Iraq provided the president an in-person update ahead of their March report to Congress on conditions in Iraq. Bush speaks frequently with them over secure video lines.
The general later said that he was seeing "mixed signs" about conditions in Iraq.
He discussed a current operation against Al Qaeda in Iraq, a home-grown insurgent group that the administration says is led by foreigners, cautioning that to characterize the offensive as a final push "would be premature."
That would be "Al-CIA-Duh," right?
The general also raised concerns about what the administration says is Iran's support of anti-American forces. He said that senior Iranian leaders had told Iraq's top officials that it would stop "the funding, arming, training, and directing of militia extremists," but the United States was waiting to see that promise kept.
And Petraeus said that although certain methods of attacking US troops had been curtailed, strikes using "explosively formed penetrators" had gone up in the last 10 days "by a factor of two or three." The United States has accused Iran of providing the weapons, among the deadliest that US troops face, to the Mahdi Army, a Shi'ite Muslim militia.
Ummmmmmm......
"Okay, the 'They have nookular bombs' ploy didn't work, the 'Gulf of Tonkin' gambit didn't work, mebbe this will get the American people to back my conquest of Iran." -- Official White Horse Souse
(Ahem)
Fact is, they already FOUND the factory that makes these things, and it was right in the middle of Baghdad." -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened
Drawing attention to what the administration says is Iran's role in Iraq is a central element of the president's travels among largely Sunni Muslim nations wary of Shi'ite-led Iran.
Bush later flew to Bahrain, the first visit by a US president. He is scheduled to visit United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt before returning to Washington on Wednesday.
Bahrain has played an important role in US policy in the gulf, housing the headquarters of the Navy's Fifth Fleet. It has long been counted in the camp of reliable moderate partners in an unstable region.
Last month it was roiled by a week of clashes between Shi'ite Muslim opposition groups and forces of the Sunni-dominated government. The street fight, sparked by the death of an activist, was some of the worst since a 1990s Shi'ite uprising.
Why didn't that make the MSM papers, huh?
Bush congratulated the king for holding free elections and noted that Bahrain two years ago elected a female member of parliament.
Bush, posing for pictures with the king, referring to the action in Iraq's parliament, said:
"I know you've been concerned about Iraq and the politics of Iraq. I come with an upbeat message, a hopeful message - a message that will prevail here in the Middle East."
Is the guy just DISGUSTING or what?
Seriously, readers, this is MENTAL ILLNESS in a president!
TOTALLY out -of-touch with the DEATH and DESTRUCTION HE'S CAUSED!!!!!!!!
"Bush sees Mideast progress; Commends Iraq's parliament for reinstating former Baath Party members" by Anne Gearan
You know, we were already using them, folks!
Salvador Option
Special Police Commandos
MANAMA, Bahrain -- Facing another decision about U.S. troop numbers in Iraq by spring, President Bush said Saturday it is "fine with me" if generals recommend no more cuts than those planned to drop the force level to about 130,000.
Bush also commended Iraq's parliament for passing legislation reinstating thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein's now-dissolved Baath party to government jobs.
Bush, after more than a year of prodding by the United States for action on the legislation, said:
"It's an important step toward reconciliation. It's an important sign that the leaders of that country understand that they must work together to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people."
What, after you worked so hard to split them apart with your invasion, asshole?
Bush made the remarks during a meeting with Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
Bush, the first sitting U.S. president to visit Bahrain, an oil-rich nation in the Persian Gulf, invited the king to visit him in Washington and told the king... he was pleased to inform the monarch about the passage of the law:
"I know you've been concerned about Iraq and the politics of Iraq. I come with an upbeat message, a hopeful message a message that will prevail here in the Middle East."
Bush, traveling for the next few days among Sunni Arab-ruled states jittery about the rising influence and ambitions of Shiite-majority Iran, again put Tehran on notice during remarks earlier Saturday in Kuwait.
Bush, as he listed successes the U.S. is helping to bring about in Iraq, said:
"Iran's role in fomenting violence has been exposed. Iranian agents are in our custody and we are learning more about how Iran has supported extremist groups with training and lethal aid."
I am TIRED of his ASS-KISSING LIES of ZIONIST SHIT!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU, asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try THIS, shit-suck:
Israel's Dirty Games
After spending a day in Kuwait meeting with its leaders and addressing U.S. troops based here, Bush was welcomed in Bahrain, host to U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Bush was treated to trumpet and cannon salutes as he walked down a long, red carpet at a palace near the capital city Manama. The king presented Bush with a medal described as Bahrain's highest award.
Yeah, everybody loves the mass-murdering war criminal!
Pfffffffttt!
Bush congratulated Bahrain for holding free elections and noted the election two years ago of a female member of parliament.
Bush, in brief remarks at the welcome ceremony, said:
"Our two nations share a common vision for the future of the Middle East."
Blah, blah, blah, as if RIGGED ELECTIONS were the answer to anything!
And WHAT TWO NATIONS does he mean?
There is ONLY ONE I KNOW OF:
The WAR-CRIMINAL STATE of US-RAE-HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bush then watched dancers in flowing robes and headdress perform with swords and rifles. The president and King Hamad were each presented with swords, which they raised over their heads as the dancers had done.
Bush's comments in Bahrain echoed his praise for similar democratic gains in Kuwait, where women were given the vote in 2005. Although he talked democracy and development with a group of Kuwaiti women, most of his public business in the emirate concerned the military challenge next door in Iraq.
So the lying MSM says!
How much you wanna bet it was about IRAN?!?!
Old mass-murdering WAR CRIMINAL BUSH needs ANOTHER WAR to DIVERT ATTENTION from ECONOMIC FAILURE!!!!!
Maybe even NEED another FALSE-FLAG INSIDE JOB like 9/11!!!!!!!!!
The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, told reporters after Bush spoke at Camp Arifjan, the largest U.S. base in Kuwait, that the overall flow of weaponry from Iran into Iraq appears to be down. But the general said attacks with "explosively formed projectiles" tied to Tehran are up by a factor of two or three in recent days. "Frankly, we are trying to determine why that might be," he said.
How about PROPAGANDA, huh?
CUI BONO, readers?
The roadside bombs, known as EFPs, are armor-piercing explosives that have killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. U.S. military officials have been saying for months that mainly Shiite Iran has been supplying EFPs to Shiite militias in Iraq, despite strong denials by Tehran.
The camp outside Kuwait City is home to about 9,000 American troops. Bush met there with Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker to get a firsthand report on the war in Iraq. Petraeus and Crocker are scheduled to give Congress another update on Iraq in March and make a recommendation about troop levels that Bush said must be made "based upon success."
The president told reporters after the hourlong briefing:
"My attitude is, if he didn't want to continue the drawdown, that's fine with me, in order to make sure we succeed, see. I said to the general, 'If you want to slow her down, fine. It's up to you.' "
So the SURGE WITHDRAWAL is NOTHING of the SORT?
Did ONE TROOP even COME HOME YET?
After a similar report from Petraeus and Crocker in September, Bush announced he would withdraw some troops from Iraq by July essentially the 30,000 sent as part of a buildup ordered a year ago but still keep the U.S. level there at about 130,000.
The president said:
"The only thing I can tell you we're on track for is, we're doing what we said was going to happen."
Translation: FUCK OFF!
I'll tell my lies and call it truth!
The war remains deeply unpopular to the U.S. public and to Democratic leaders in Congress, who have been unable to force Bush's hand on deeper, faster troop withdrawals.
On that first one, WHO CARES?
Obviously NOT the U.S. Congress!
That SECOND ONE is a LIE!!!!!!
Unpopular, but they will FUND IT to the HILT and SHUT UP!!!
Yeah, let's continue a war BASED ON LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
U.S. commanders credit a Sunni backlash against al-Qaida in Iraq with helping reduce violence over the past six months. But devastating attacks persist even as Iraqi casualties are down by 55 percent nationwide since June 2007, according to an Associated Press count.
So far, nine of 18 Iraqi provinces have reverted from U.S. military to Iraqi security control, although the handover has gone slower than the Bush administration once hoped, mainly because of obstacles to developing sufficient Iraqi police and army forces.
The central government in Baghdad also has disappointed its U.S. backers. It has lagged in passing legislative reforms seen as key to countering sectarian violence, promoting political cohesion and economic development.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
WHO DID the U.S. KILL YESTERDAY, shit MSM?
Not long after Bush spoke, however, Iraq's parliament adopted the law on the reinstatement of former Baath party supporters to government jobs. The measure relaxes restrictions on the right of Baath party members to fill government posts. It is also designed to reinstate thousands of Baathists expelled from government jobs. The dismissals had deepened sectarian tensions between Iraq's majority Shiites and the once-dominant Sunni Arabs.
Gordon Johndroe, a White House spokesman, said Bush called Jordan's King Abdullah to update him on his trip to the Middle East, which showcases Bush's new drive to secure a peace pact between Israel and the Palestinians this year:
"He told his majesty that he was encouraged by what he found in Israel and the Palestinian territories and hopeful about the progress that can be made there."
Seriously, reader, I have to go WRETCH now!!!!
"Ali Jarbawi, a political scientist at Birzeit University in the West Bank, said of Mr. Bush: “He is adopting the Israeli position regarding a settlement: no return to the ’67 borders, no return for refugees, no return of all East Jerusalem. Actually, these are the conditions of Israel. It will be extremely difficult for any Palestinian leader to accept all three.” (New York Times January 12, 2008)."
Yeah, I gotta go puke! P.S.
Notice how they cover no active wars like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc, etc, etc.
