Propaganda in high gear this week!
Things were looking really bad with the Haditha massacre, and then viola!

*Al Zarqawi, Iraq's #1 boogieman killed!

*'s secret, yet highly productive Iraq visit, the whole 5 hours, which left him upbeat and even more optimistic about the new government!

* A document discovered in which the insurgency admits its own weakening and all of its flaws!

* Congress debates the Iraq war and rethugs come up with new, er um, well "hadn't been used since Jean Schmidt" meme of dems being "cut and runners" with no plan to win a war that * STARTED!

It's amazing what one week can do for a failing administration and national party.

:sarcasm:


They are truly desperate and scared. We must not back away from the debate, nor allow them to frame the issue, and paint us as spineless cowards.

2. The post on all the GOP chickenhawks now in charge
was very enlightening by Mr. Dowd. It is the GOP, through their lack of service, who are the cowards.

They command others to die, when they clucked out from service.

4. Don't forget the new National Monument in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands.
NPR was drooling all over this piece of fluff today as if Bush had suddenly become some kind of environmental savior. They're just tools, all of them.

6. It appears as if Rethugs were saving things up to have a big...
media fireworks extravaganza to try to recapture the political momentum, all ultimately in vain of course.

This is another way of saying... the Republicans are blowing their load!

8. There is some big push going on by the cons.
It started with them pulling the trigger on Zaq. Followed up by Rove's demonizing democrats and dissenters, the congress wasting their time on the "Have you stopped beating your wife" non-binding resolution, and the Rove talking points being repeated ad nauseam on RW hate radio.

I don't think it's over yet. Look for more con stunts to follow.

I may be just some scheme to get the polling numbers back up, but they could be laying the groundwork for some insidious plan. Like Iran.
