Blast From the Past
On Sept 11 of last year I wrote:
The 9/11 investigation did get the PDB finally but Bush has never been held to account for his tastless "joke" and he has never explained the NeoCon fantasy of another Pearl Harbor while he planned to use a bin Laden attack to push for tax cuts.
Bush Starts to Sing the Blues
A sad day to remember
Bush has no shame. At fundraisers he has joked about 9/11 as winning the trifecta.
His smirky comment that he had always said Social Security was untouchable unless there was a recession, a national emergency or a war is a lie. The first recorded instance of him saying it is after he got the August 6th intelligence report he won't show 9/11 investigators.
I can only conclude that at the very least he knew and let it happen. Impeach the SOB! Try him for war crimes!

Bush Forced To Drop "Still The One"
Corrente calls it
Hall has made it known that the current US President made no attempt to obtain the permission for the song and that it was totally inappropriate for him to use it as he was anti-Bush.Considering OBL's latest video maybe Bush should see if he can get rights to "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."
The Blog of 7 explains way clusterfuck applies to Iraq in both senses of the word.

Over 230 Coalition Soldiers Died to IEDs
Below is a list of over 230 Coaliton members who died due to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). This category is first observed on July 18, 2003. All of the men and women listed below had their cause of death listed as IED. All of the US soldiers' pictures link to the press release announcing their death. All of the US Military press releases say "Under Investigation." These investigations haven't been reported. These investigations might not be looking for links to the missing 380 tons of high explosive that disappeared on Bush's watch. Even if they were, there might not be a way to tie the explosive to one source or another but let's look at it this way. Many of these IEDs were done with a pound or two of HMX or RDX. 380 tons are missing. How many pounds of those tons contributed to the deaths listed below? We may never know. Each soldier's name is linked to a Google search. If you are so inclined you can search to see what impact each of these brave and misused soldiers had going on in their lives before they became a statistic in Bush's ill-conceived, badly executed war of choice. A war that was prosecuted in such a hurry that plans to secure a huge ammo dump. An ammo dump that merited the watchful eye of the UN but was ignored by the Bush invasion.
