Pre-Election Fallujah documentary
Witness the devastation

Here's a link to an Arabic journalist's video touring through the city of Fallujah, prior to the Iraqi elections.

Talk about destroying a city in order to save it ("it" being the Iraqi elections, which had a surprisingly low turnout in Fallujah).

Bush Wore a Wire to the Debate
"Wait! ...now lemme finish!"

Categorize this one under "Cold Cases". It's surprising that Bush's secret audio-prompting at last year's presidential debates didn't receive more attention. The election quickly came and went, and suddenly dissenters were fighting off national claims of a moral mandate in support of the Iraq War and a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages.

Meanwhile, NASA rocket scientists at JPL had enhanced photos of Bush's back during the debates, which clearly showed a wire and attached device under his jacket. The story was submitted to papers the week before the election.

...and then the story was killed by the major news media.

It's sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? Check out the details at the "Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting" website, an organization well-known for reality-based, unspun journalism.

Elections in USA-Liberated Countries
they follow a certain pattern, don't they?

The whole point of rushing into the Iraqi elections was to create a talking point for Bush's State of the Union address. Dancing Iraqi ladies and spin doctors do not a democracy make.

Just how wonderful an accomplishment are the Iraqi elections? High percentages of registered Iraqis voted, more than Americans in their recent election, in spite of terrorist threats and attacks to the polls. This must clearly represent a sign of legitimacy for the newly-formed Iraqi government...

Wait! Where have we heard that before? Why, now we remember- it was 37 years ago in the New York Times. Lyndon Johnson was president, and we were talking about Vietnam.

On one hand, it's depressing to note that Bush won't be able to follow Johnson's lead and refuse to run for a second term. However, if he continues to follow the Vietnam-era game plan, at least we might now have a glimpse of Bush's Iraqi exit strategy (6-8 years down the road, following a carpet-bombing of Iran and/or Syria)
