Anderson you didn't mention during your Bush propaganda moments at the open meeting today how he lied about the way he promoted the Iraq invasion by aligning it with 911 and al Qaeda.
The rest of the program is in defense of poor Andy under attack by Bush. He's right Anderson. The press has been reporting negative aspects of Iraq. The part that remains improvements still leaves the Iraqi people in despair and poverty including runaway inflation. Sounds like a Republican stronghold to me. There isn't any good news in Iraq. There is war in Iraq. Anything that out shines death is a travesty. Bush believed by staging a destruction of a statue of Saddam after the invasion of Baghdad the people would worship him. Ha.

More 'stalemate' reality and we are all expected to ACCEPT that as well. Sorry, when stalemate wasa reality in Vietnam we pulled out and saved lives on both sides of the conflict.

Today, I hugged a man whose son died in Iraq. If I have done nothing else with my life this week, at least for a few moments I know I did something good.
At noon today, 550 or so people set off from the Benton County Courthouse to march in witness to their opposition to the illegal war in Iraq. Marching is fairly easy to do. Unlike last year, where a winter-long drought ended about the same time the 2-year commemoration began, we had bright, cool weather. I carried a small framed quote from Thich Nhat Hanh: "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." Many wore "Veterans for Peace" armbands — Leah and Bart Bolder of the local VFP organized and sponsored today's march and rally — and the usual assortment of banners and signs were carried along. Unlike past events, we had virtually no opposition. The Bible-quoting flag-wavers who usually stand across the street from the Courthouse were completely absent. (Leah tells me they have not been around at the daily peace vigil for some time. Perhaps that's as good an indication as any of how little support the war now has. Even those who believe God ordained Bush can no longer say he's doing the right thing in Iraq.)

PEOPLE GETTING WISE TO BUSH LIES ON KATRINA, IRAQ, OTHER DISASTERS
By Bill Gallagher
DETROIT -- The president of the United States is inept, a frightening reality for the American people and our neighbors around the world. It is chilling for someone with the responsibilities and powers of the president to lack the fitness, aptitude and sense to carry out the duties of that office.
Bubble-Boy's bubble has burst. His failed policies and rampant incompetence now only enjoy unflinching support from the lockstep confines of GOP partisans, the Busheviks' corporate sponsors and their Amen chorus found on right-wing shout radio, the Fox News Channel and the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal.
The mainstream American media, which long ignored or supported President George Bush's string of disasters, are finally catching on to what a growing majority of American people know: This frat-boy slacker, selected president because of his name and big-bucks supporters, this media-made Churchillian figure standing in the rubble of the Twin Towers, has been out of touch -- and often out of sight -- for every major national crisis before and since.

Bush, Lies, And Videotape

IF GEORGE W. BUSH were a character in a novel or a play, last week might have been the turning point in the narrative. He was shown on film being explicitly warned, just hours before Hurricane Katrina hit, that the levees in New Orleans were vulnerable.
But everyone knows that after the levees broke, he denied having been warned that such a thing was possible. The broadcast of the film amounted to a terrible epiphany: The president seemed caught in a lie. Grave questions had already been raised about his administration's manipulations of the truth, especially in relation to the war in Iraq. Does the truth matter in America any more?
Critics of the president (among whom I must be counted) might come to yet another swift judgment of him, finding further evidence of a disqualifying character flaw. Rumbles about impeachment can be heard, despite the unlikelihood of such an outcome, shy of still-fanciful Democratic victories in the fall elections.

Q Mr. President, at the beginning of your talk today you mentioned that you understand why Americans have had their confidence shaken by the events in Iraq. And I'd like to ask you about events that occurred three years ago that might also explain why confidence has been shaken. Before we went to war in Iraq we said there were three main reasons for going to war in Iraq: weapons of mass destruction, the claim that Iraq was sponsoring terrorists who had attacked us on 9/11, and that Iraq had purchased nuclear materials from Niger. All three of those turned out to be false. My question is, how do we restore confidence that Americans may have in their leaders and to be sure that the information they are getting now is correct?
THE PRESIDENT: That's a great question. (Applause.) First, just if I might correct a misperception. I don't think we ever said -- at least I know I didn't say that there was a direct connection between September the 11th and Saddam Hussein. We did say that he was a state sponsor of terror -- by the way, not declared a state sponsor of terror by me, but declared by other administrations. We also did say that Zarqawi, the man who is now wreaking havoc and killing innocent life, was in Iraq. And so the state sponsor of terror was a declaration by a previous administration. But I don't want to be argumentative, but I was very careful never to say that Saddam Hussein ordered the attacks on America.

Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. We will do everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes.

You know he has alluded to the Iraq invasion in nearly every State of the Union before the invasion.

Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.
Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens -- leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to international inspections -- then kicked out the inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.
States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.

IF you are concerned about disenfranchised parents the solution should be simple. Any birth in this country needs to accompanied by a complete birth certificate including any genetic testing to determine the correct father in circumstances of unmarried partners. In this way a father would know he had a child and could determine at the time a mother gives up an infant for adoption if indeed he desired to have the sole responsibilty for that child. It would also be a genetic bank for any child adopted to know if their parent(s) had issues that could cause issues in the future for them or their children. That could probably be accomplished by personal genetic testing but not necessarily in all cases. Recessives can skip generations phenotypically, especially if sex linked.
