Scaife-Owned Newspaper Calls for Iraq Troop Withdrawal -- Questions Bush's 'Mental Stability'

NEW YORK The Pittsburgh newspaper owned by conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife yesterday called the Bush administration's plans to stay the course in Iraq a "prescription for American suicide."

The editorial in the Tribune-Review added, "And quite frankly, during last Thursday's news conference, when George Bush started blathering about 'sometimes the decisions you make and the consequences don't enable you to be loved,' we had to question his mental stability."

It continued: "President Bush warns that U.S. withdrawal would risk 'mass killings on a horrific scale.' What do we have today, sir?

"If the president won't do the right thing and end this war, the people must. The House has voted to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by April. The Senate must follow suit.

1. The right-wing pit bulls have turned on each other, I see....

Too bad Scaife played a role in cheerleading this mess in the beginning. May he rot with the rest of the Neocons, who've royally f**ked up the world.

2. Turning on each other prolly = just lining up a new team to take over

but still owned by the same ol bastards. All is marketing in America it would seem.

Vote for me! I think bush is a jerk just like you do! is not really much of a platform, but it WILL be a platform for many. And it will be how the puppet-masters try to hold on when cheney/bush are gone.

3. Yeah - they are going to try to disassociate themselves from Bush

And in the long run they will succeed.

It's odd to me that in this particular election cycle, none of the Republican candidates are really trying to distance themselves from Bush on the key issue of the day; Iraq. Frankly all of them have made it clear that they will follow Bush's plans if given the office.
