Syria
I am quite willing to believe Syria may be behind the recent Lebanese assassination, but as so many others have observed, Bush & Co. have fed all so much bullshit, its impossible to take anything they say seriously.

The New York Times > Washington > Bush Backs Budget Authority for New Intelligence Post

"President Bush shifted his stance today on how much power a new national intelligence director should have, declaring that he supports giving the new chief full power over intelligence spending."

And still they won't call it a flip-flop!

One last bit of supernaturalist nonsense

Dead Teenager Kept in Home 36 Years
HANOI (Reuters) - The family of a 17-year-old Vietnamese boy who died 36 years ago kept his body in their home after a fortune teller told relatives they had buried the teenager alive by mistake.

The boy's family thought he had died in 1968 of illness, but a herbal medicine man said told the father his son was still alive after the burial, the Ho Chi Minh City Police newspaper said on Tuesday.

Stricken with remorse, the father dug up the body and displayed it in a glass-covered coffin, keeping it in the family home in southern An Giang until he recently confessed the macabre secret to a police news reporter.

The newspaper ran a photo of the dead boy's brother posing with his arms folded next to the coffin of his sibling. The body of the boy had not decomposed, the report said.

Man on Quest for Knife-Proof Body Bleeds to Death
DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - A Tanzanian who went to a witch doctor in search of the power to resist bullets and knife attacks died when ritual cuts made on his body proved fatal.

He was one of four suspected robbers from a village in Kasulu district in western Tanzania who visited the witch doctor on a quest for magic, the African newspaper reported Tuesday.

The ritual included cutting their skin and rubbing in potions and powders.

The witch doctor fled after the man died Monday from profuse bleeding, the newspaper said, adding that the three survivors were arrested when they went to a hospital.

Protesters on one side and the rest of us on the other -- this country needs another civil war to protect from trash like you and your friends at the nation.. I care about voters in Missouri and not about the human trash across this world (or in San Francisco). Let the war begin -- purify society with violent repudiation of Liberalism and all other forms of social engineering. Then America can be the great country it should be.

Der Fuehrer would be so proud!

The lies used in propaganda about the coming GOP convention even by a socialist writer makes me laugh. The voters of this country will see first hand the idiots and domestic terrorists that will visit NYC and attempt to disrupt the convention.
Let the games begin and as each liberal terrorist is arrested or detained, I hope that CNN and the rest of the media whoop it up and do what they otherwise would be loath to do, that is to give Bush supporters a reason to kick your ugly asses to the curb and vote for sanity!

Is there ANY conservative who has a fucking clue as to the difference between a liberal and a socialist????
Brains and winguttery do not go hand in hand it seems. (What a surprise!)

"Churchman jailed for exorcism death

A church elder was sentenced to 21/2 years in prison Tuesday for abusing an 8-year-old autistic boy who died in what prosecutors called an exorcism at a storefront church.

Prosecutors say Ray Hemphill lay on Terrance Cottrell Jr.'s chest for at least an hour while trying to release "demons" from him, before the boy died August 22, 2003.

"It was your unreasonable and reckless conduct that caused this child to die," Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jean DiMotto told Hemphill."

Another reminder of how Bush blew it
It remains painfully obvious that he turned his back on Afghanistan far too soon. This from today's LA Times

"Zabul province is so isolated that when the U.S. Army's 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment arrived in the remote districts of Arghandab and Khak-i-Afghan last month to hunt down the Taliban, the residents thought the Soviets had invaded again.

They had never seen, or heard of, the U.S. forces because the areas were in the firm control of the Taliban, said Maj. Joseph Walsh, the executive officer of the battalion."

Finally, even journalists are laughing at Bush's stupidity as he tries to discuss Native American tribal sovreignty.
