1. Isn't that the strategy?
Pull out Mr. Booga Booga when the going gets tough on little King George?

2. Wasn't that the desired effect?
How much more can we take?


I'm sure the frustration we feel is close to what the non-Nazi Germans felt when they had to register with the Nazi party or be damned.

There is seemingly nothing we can do except encourage our Dem leaders. A few are standing up right now. I'm not sure if I can take it if they back down now.

3. Why do you think they said it was.......
...a document written in English and then translated to Arabic for the media?

Because they inserted the bullcrap right when they needed it most.

Bush needed some diversions and he needed them NOW. The fact that Republicans run everything makes it easy to manipulate the media. That on top of the fact that Americans are GULLIBLE makes it a win-win for Mr. Bush.

4. The news hairdo wasn't reporting a news story.
He cited no source whatsoever. He just pulled that remark out of thin air.

5. I remember Ron Brownstien (sp?), just minutes after the pre-
election tape came out saying "this is huge for Bush."
