3/8 Murtha doesn't like Cheney's recent statements on Iran and why http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/03/07.html#a7432 \_ He can try but he is not able to convince average American not to attack Iran. Most American think we can go in, surgically bomb couple places and leaves, and suffers no consequences afterward. Just like most people don't think much of our relationship with Iran has nothing to do with the fact that we overthrow their government for oil in the past. |

Cheney said: "Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday that Iran will not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and warned "the United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime." Video-QT Nobody wants Iran to get nukes, but once again we threaten Iran with violence. I know this was part of PNAC's agenda, but when is Cheney going to learn that shooting people in the face doesn't always achieve great results. Including them in the "axis of evil" speech pretty much told Iran how we feel about them. voted today not to investigate the crimes of President George W Bush. Instead, it will create a subcommittee for "oversight" of the illegal eavesdropping program.... read on Senator Rockefeller had this to say after the committee's vote: "This committee is basically under control of the White House,'' Rockefeller told reporters after the two-hour meeting today in Washington. "Already trying to avoid the media, Longboat Key Republican Katherine Harris is now canceling campaign stops in Southwest Florida as questions swirl about her ties to a Washington, DC, defense contractor at the center of an ongoing national bribery scandal.... Newshounds provides the play by play as she talks about her five day "listening" tour: "It was a Hannity & Colmes segment (8/9/05) ostensibly about her just-announced candidacy for the US Senate but Katherine Harris (the Cruella De Vil of the 2000 election) kept shaking her over-sized chest so often throughout the interview that I couldn't help but conclude that what she really wanted the audience to check out was something other than her politics... direct hit against Dan Gerstein -- the Lieberman advisor/consultant who whines about the mean netroots while bragging about stabbing Clinton in the back. And thanks to Gerstein's whines, Klein has yet another opportunity to spotlight Lieberman's shameful record on gay rights and disturbing record on race... Peter Baker writes in The Washington Post: "For whatever reason, Bush seems fixated on his rug. Virtually all visitors to the Oval Office find him regaling them about how it was chosen and what it represents. Turns out, he always says, the first decision any president makes is what carpet he wants in his office. As a take-charge leader, he then explains, he of course made a command decision -- he delegated the decision to Laura Bush, who chose a yellow sunbeam design. "Elizabeth Vargas, the ABC News anchor, was the latest to get the treatment. She went by last week to interview Bush before his trip to Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Sure enough, she wasn't in the room but a minute or two before he started telling her about the carpet. Sometimes he relates how Russian President Vladimir Putin admired the carpet. Sometimes he seems most taken by the lighting qualities." Democratic congressional candidate Francine Busby running in the San Diego seat vacated by the resignation of disgraced former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham - delivered the national Democratic Radio Address. Busby addressed a national audience on Saturday when she talked about the importance of protecting US ports to our national security. |
