Bush administration asked Congress for an additional $25 billion
:(The Associated Press reported that the Bush administration asked Congress for an additional $25 billion Wednesday for U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a retreat from the White House’s earlier plans not to seek such money until after the November elections.

What a shock that this administration would say one thing and do another. The additional spending will bring the cost of this war to over 100 billion dollars. Prior to the war the Deputy Secretary of Defense told the Senate that this war would cost the taxpayers 1.5 billion.

That is almost a seven thousand percent increase in funding for the war. That means this administration is either the most incompetent in history or they are a bunch of liars.

The Kerry campaign is launching two new television
The Kerry campaign is launching two new television ads that highlight John Kerry's lifetime of service and strength and his optimistic vision that together we can build a stronger America.

The new ads – “Heart” and “Lifetime” – feature the people who know John Kerry best talking about the service and strength Kerry has displayed throughout a life that has included: earning the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and Three Purple Hearts; making decisions that saved his crewmates' lives in Vietnam; fighting for victims’ rights as a prosecutor; and serving America in the Senate as a strong voice for issues that make a difference in the lives of every day Americans.

Bush turns the White House into a Holiday Inn
:doze:Bush turns the White House into a Holiday Inn for his biggest supporters! Remember all the uproar over Bill Clinton having guest stay over in the Lincoln Bedroom? This is what George Bush had to say about the Clinton Lincoln Bedroom Scandal, "I believe they've moved that sign, 'The buck stops here,' from the Oval Office desk to 'The buck stops here' on the Lincoln Bedroom. And that's not good for the country." Once again bush has said one thing and done another. President Bush has played host to dozens of his closest supporters at the White Hose as well as Camp David. I wonder why the so called Liberal media isn’t running with this story like it did with Bill Clinton. I guess the White House is for sale!

Cowards shouldn't quibble or accuse
WHAT'S ALL this horse manure about ribbons and medals? And it comes from absentee Dick Cheney and semi-AWOL George Bush. How dare the administration's Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, who skipped the war of their time, send 700 young Americans to their deaths. Read the whole article from the Boston Globe

A campaign of fear
The Bush Administration is trying to scare the pubic into voting for them. They are running one misleading attack ad after another. The only way they can win this November is to paint John Kerry as weak. Read the whole story

Today is “Mission Accomplished Day"

Today is “Mission Accomplished Day”.  One year ago today George Bush, on the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln declared an end of major combat operations. This goes to show that this administration does not have a clue.  





This is our Cowboy Pesident one year ago to day trying to look tough.

Pentagon's No. 2 blunders on American Casualties
:cry:When asked how many American troops have died in Iraq, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz replied "It's approximately 500, of which — I can get the exact numbers — approximately 350 are combat deaths,"

How can the number two man at the pentagon, an architect of the military campaign in Iraq not know how many of over brave soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq? Wolfowitz made this statement while testifying in front of congress about the war. I would have thought he would have been prepared to answer basic questions.

Wolfowitz is either an idiot or was trying to down play the loss of life during this war. This Administration should not be playing games with the numbers, especially when each of those numbers represents the death of an American soldier.

Salmon Bombshell
:OTHE BUSH ADMINISTRATION has decided that a hatchery fish is just as good as a wild one, and that a concrete raceway is just as good as a cool-running stream. In a policy bombshell measured in megatons, the federal government has decided that the hundreds of millions of salmon produced in fish hatcheries will be counted when determining if salmon deserve federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. As a result -- federal protection for as many as 27 stocks has been brought into question. Federal officials confirmed that the new policy will guide the decision whether to remove 15 stocks from federal protecction this summer. The implications go beyond salmon, however. For the first time in 30 years, the goal of the ESA has been altered. The consequences are likely to be widespread. Read the whole story.  Source Tide-Pool
