"Mortgage Crisis Spreads Past Subprime Loans"
"The credit crisis is no longer just a subprime mortgage problem.
As home prices fall and banks tighten lending standards, people with good, or prime, credit histories are falling behind on their payments for home loans, auto loans and credit cards at a quickening pace, according to industry data and economists."
"Trial’s Focus to Suit Bush"
"Harsh interrogations and Guantánamo Bay, secret prisons and warrantless eavesdropping, the war against Al Qaeda and the one in Iraq. On issue after issue, President Bush has showed little indication that he will shrink from the most controversial decisions of his tenure.
With the decision to charge six Guantánamo detainees with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and to seek the death penalty for the crimes, many of those issues will now be back in the spotlight. In an election year, that appears to be exactly where Mr. Bush wants the focus to be....
Mr. Bush never sounds surer of himself than when the subject is Sept. 11 even when his critics argue that he has squandered the country’s moral authority, violated American and international law, and led the United States into the foolhardy distraction of Iraq.
“Six and a half years ago, our country faced the worst attack in our history,” Mr. Bush said late last week, speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I understood immediately that we would have to act boldly to protect the American people. So we’ve gone on the offense against these extremists. We’re staying on the offense, and we will not relent until we bring them to justice.”
The 9/11 candidate, Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York, may have dropped his bid for the White House. But the 9/11 presidency is far from over.
On the question of warrantless wiretapping, widely expanded after the Sept. 11 attacks, Mr. Bush is pushing to make permanent legislation that last year made a once-secret program legal....

How's that for bald-faced lying in your New York Times Morning War Daily, readers?
Only a year ago, Iraq appeared to have deflated the president’s popularity and eroded his standing even among Republicans and the Pentagon’s generals. But Mr. Bush now appears to have laid a foundation to keep more than 130,000 American troops on the ground in a mission he has justified as part of a broader fight against terrorism, despite an overwhelming groundswell against an unpopular conflict. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates on Monday essentially endorsed a “pause” in further troop withdrawals once those troops sent in last year as part of a temporary buildup go home.
All thanks to a shitter MSM press!!!!
In each of these cases — the military tribunals, the wiretapping legislation, Iraq — the White House seems eager to lock in as many of the president’s policies as possible before he leaves office in 11 months. And as it looks ahead to the November elections, the White House seems to have concluded that each is politically sustainable and even favorable for a Republican candidate and Mr. Bush’s own legacy....
Mr. Bush’s administration, however, appears to have calculated that many Americans, if not most, do not necessarily object to harsh interrogations or eavesdropping if they were used to prevent further attacks.
At a fund-raiser on Friday in Pennsylvania, hardly the most conservative state, Vice President Dick Cheney vigorously defended the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques, referring to them as “a tougher program for a very few tougher customers.”
“He and others were questioned at a time when another attack on this country was believed to be imminent,” Mr. Cheney said of Mr. Mohammed and other Qaeda members. “It’s a good thing we had them in custody, and it is a good thing that we found out what they knew.”
Like they didn't already know!
After reading this, can you now see why I hate the MSM and its shit propaganda?

How much more evidence you need, readers?
This?
And did I mention the DOD's MSM press offices in Lincoln, the Pentagon, or Langley?
That's where the AmeriKan press gets their "reports."
Case closed!
".... A consensus is developing among economists, business people and immigration groups that the weakening economy coupled with recent curbs on illegal immigration are steering Hispanic immigrants out of the state....
Ms. McLaren, the economist, said that in the end history showed it was difficult to stop illegal immigration so long as jobs paid better in the United States than at home. An economic rebound would probably draw people back here, no matter the laws."
Either that or a North American Union after the U.S. economy crashes as planned, right?
"Rules Eased to Expedite Green Card Applications"
"Searching for ways to reduce a huge backlog of visa applications, immigration authorities have eased requirements for background checks by the F.B.I. of immigrants seeking to become permanent United States residents, federal officials said Monday."
Yet they want to read every piece of mail, want every phone call you make and want all your personal information to fight "terrorists."
So sick of this damn fraud!
What made me even angrier was the FBI saying the next "Al-CIA-Duh" would be done by Americans!!
So that's whose feet you are going to lay the next 9/11 false-flag black operation at, huh, fascistas?
Fuck you guys and your fascist state based on shit lies!

"In Pakistan, Doubts Over the Fight in Tribal Areas"
"The announcement of a cease-fire just a few weeks into a determined military operation against one of Pakistan’s most wanted men, the militant leader Baitullah Mehsud, has once again raised questions about the Pakistani government’s commitment to combating militancy in the country’s tribal areas....
After a year of political turmoil, Western diplomats said they feared that one more “spark event,” like another high-profile assassination, could ignite the kind of chaos across Pakistan that militants thrive on.
Mr. Mehsud, who has threatened the Pakistani state like no other militant and is thought to have hundreds of suicide bombers poised to attack, is the greatest concern....
Booga-booga-boo!!!!
What about bin Laden?
The Pakistani Army’s campaign began in earnest in November, when it mounted a large operation against the militants in the Swat Valley. The army then clashed fiercely with militants who seized control of the gun-manufacturing town of Darra Adamkhel, south of the city of Peshawar, in January.
How come you didn't tell me about the town seizure back then, Times?
Also, with the sharp escalation of violence in Pakistan, the public, which generally opposes military action in the tribal areas, was facing the fact that some military action was necessary....
Mr. Mehsud could be given over to the traditional system of justice in the semiautonomous region, where tribes take responsibility for one of their own behaving badly....
That's lawlessness though if you read the stink AmeriKan press!
United States officials have already voiced reservations about any further deal-making."
Guess that means we will have to put troops in, huh?
"Israeli Casts Doubt on Pact This Year"
"President Bush said last month on a visit here that his goal was to get both sides to sign a peace treaty before his term ends next January, and Mr. Abbas has said that a peace treaty by the end of the year is his goal. But Mr. Ramon said that he spoke to Mr. Bush during that visit and that Mr. Bush’s expectations were in line with Israel’s.
“I believe President Bush is not expecting a Palestinian state to be established by the end of the year,” Mr. Ramon said. “A declaration of principles will lead to a Palestinian state. It has to be detailed enough in order to implement it in the years that will come after 2008, two to three years after.”
'nuff said about that liar and his Zionist masters!!!!

So we never "withdrew" anybody, did we?
We got a SURGE and then the SURGE ended!

How's that bowl of shit taste, anyway, 'murkn?
See: Occupation Iraq: DemocraPic Betrayal
"Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said for the first time Monday that he supported a pause in American troop reductions in Iraq. It was the most authoritative indication to date that the United States will maintain a large force here through 2008 and into the next presidential term....
And EVEN LONGER since we are NEVER LEAVING, readers!
His assertion makes it likely that American troop levels in Iraq will not drop much below 130,000 this year — and certainly not to the 100,000 level advocated by some military officials and analysts worried about the protracted strain on the Army from long deployments in the nearly five-year-old Iraq war."
Fuck them then!
Let them stay there for fucking ever!
"CBS Reports 2 Journalists Missing in Iraq"
Honestly, I really couldn't give any less of a shit!
Considering the way the stinkfuck AmeriKan press has reported this war, I really don't care about self-centered, elitist "news" organizations who lied us into this war (and CONTINUE to lie about this war) and their people!!
What about all the IRAQIS KILLED, shitstink elite press corp?
And now some good news:
"Top Anglicans Rally to Besieged Archbishop"
"The archbishop of Canterbury received a strong show of support from the Church of England’s top clerics and laymen on Monday in response to demands for his resignation over his call for Britain to accept some aspects of Shariah, the legal code of Islam based on the Koran.
Appearing before the church’s governing body, the archbishop, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, received a standing ovation....
"Berkeley Journal: Where Marines Are Called ‘Intruders’ and Recruiting Office Is Unwelcome"
"The Council, with its staff’s concurrence, apparently, also set aside a parking spot one day a week in front of the office for Code Pink, an antiwar group that aims to disrupt the recruiters and, like all Californians, loves a good parking spot....
“Groups like Code Pink and the Berkeley City Council don’t care about freedom,” a poster, Sgt. Seth Conner, blogged. “They only care about saddling another generation — my generation — with their hippie-loving propaganda.”
That would be better than all the debt Bush is going to leave you, shitter!
“It would be astonishing if they did something meaningful like apologize, not only to the military, or the Marines, but to the families of service members,” said Melanie Morgan, host of a conservative talk show and leader of Move America Forward, which backs troops. “They are finding out that the rest of America doesn’t go along with their kooky politics.”
Yeah, even though 70% of the American public is sick of these wars and wants out!
Whatever, you neo-fascist, 21st-century Leni Riefenstahl!
Code Pink also plans a vigil. A co-founder, Medea Benjamin, said she welcomed the fight. “They’ll come from out of town and stage their show and then they’ll go home, and we’ll have a galvanized base,” Ms. Benjamin said. “They’ve helped us draw a line in the sand.”"
