Hey George, How's it going?

Over 400 liberated Iraqis have been killed in the past two weeks by an increasing number of car bombers, who are now targeting civilians as well as US and Iraqi police forces and recruits. That number does not include the casualties from the on-going US offensive along the Syrian border that recently brought about the demise of a squad of United States Marines. Even so the carnage seems to have barely interrupted the major networks "news" coverage of Michael Jackson's trial or the shop lifting charges of a "runaway bride's" past. You don't need go any further than ABC's The Note from May 12th to see that yes "the death and carnage is staggering" but "the biggest story every day in the world will get almost no coverage." Maybe the latest, paid for by the administration, "journalist" will put it in future articles while he trumpets the benefits of the Natural Resources Conservation Service programs on behalf of the Department of Agriculture. At least Halliburton and Ahmed Chalabi are profitting from the neo-con War on Iraq. Halliburton with a bonus, despite their over charging scandals, and Ahmed Chalabi by having the King Jordan pardon his $300,000,000.00 bank fraud.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan's deadly protests against the United States, though downplayed by president Karzai as a product of democracy, doesn't bode well for that other war we are still fighting across the Atlantic. All this while the president pats Putin on the back,just before going to Georgia to flip him the bird.

Then, with hatred towards America still on the rise, a plane gets within 3 miles of the White House. If that doesn't make you scratch your head, how about the fact that the panic (a code red that even Tom Ridge would have agreed with) that wisked the first lady and the vice president to undisclosed bunkers wasn't important enough to interrupt the president's bike ride. Protocol or not, a "Mr. President we have a situation" or a "don't worry, your wife is fine" seems to have been in order.

Of course this isn't what Our government is focusing on right now, there are more important things on their mind. For instance, there's a social security program that won't be in crisis until 2042. There's the changing of the Senate rules to end free and unlimited debate so the reds can get 10 judges through that the president has seen fit to send back for a second time. The Senate has approved 205 of 215 judges already. And lastly, of course, there's John Bolton. My problem with Mr. Bolton isn't so much his gruff nature with others as it is his stretching of intelligence and his distaste for diplomacy and the US State Department. Do the reds really believe that this chad counter from 2000 is the best candidate for the "scandal ridden" UN. Will he in any way help the world's view of the "scandal ridden" bush administration for that matter? I don't think I need Larry Flynt to answer that one.
