Was He Pressured?
Was the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith pressured in changing his opinion about the legality of the war?
We may never know but if he was, the only logically question is, by whom?
And if he wasn’t, the only logically question is, whether he is of a sound mind.
It was known that his advice on March 7 was based on a long held opinion of his. And it was a matter based solely on principles. Given the fact that there had been no significant events or new findings during the 10-day period before he abruptly changed his mind, we can’t help but ask if Lord Goldsmith is mentally fit for his post as AG.
Well,Blair had sacrified Dr David Kelly, Alastair Campbell and a few BBC executives in defense of his deliberate falsehoods about the war, what’s the cost of an AG. Nothing!

WMD - The American Way
Saddam’s WMD was designed to kill. Bush’s WMD is designed to humilate first and then kill.
The ‘sex bomb’, ‘bad breath bomb’, ‘ultrasensitive skin bomb’ themselves are not simply bombs designed to kill - they want to make you puke first. The thought of developing this Weapon of Mass Destruction under the current Bush administration confirms once and for all what sort of sadists are running this once great nation. Well, it’s progress - the American Way.

The Show Must Go On
Surely, we are angry at the cheerleader analogy, we are angry at what happened in Abu Ghraib. But outrageous remarks and analogies will keep coming in this show; they will add further insult to Americans and they will make every attempt to focus our anger solely on this soldier - to promote a much needed scapegoat.
Anger tends to blind us. If we are not angry, we may start calling indictments at higher levels.
The defense lawyer will keep asking questions except for a simple one: - who foster an environment to allow what happened in Abu Ghraib to happen. A few bad apples might still do what they did but they would not take pictures. The fact that these pictures were taken openly and that they had taken their time to stage numerous photos ops only confirmed that these “few bad apples” knew that their actions were acceptable. They understood the “order”1.
Sorry son. It’s a matter of national interest. The buck has to stop somewhere but it certainly can’t be anything higher.
Enjoy your stay. It’s inevitable.
fn1 thousands of pages of military reports and documents released under the Freedom of Information Act to the American Civil Liberties Union in the past few months have demonstrated that the abuse involved multiple service branches in Afghanistan, Iraq and Cuba, beginning in 2002 and continuing after Congress and the military had begun investigating Abu Ghraib.

The Great Leader
Time for golf, time for ranch. No time for signing letters of condolence to relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My Terms Not Yours
Dodging responsiblity for Abu Ghraib is not enough. Passing the bucks for inadequate troop level to maintain law and order is not enough.
‘You go to my war under my terms, not yours. Son’ may finally finish him off.

One Finger Salute
Swallow the bait, not the hook Stupid!
Directing to all those who returned him to office from a true believer and a man of high moral values.
Family values, traditional values and now, “moral values.” Sure, we have them but just interpret them differently. It’s more important to disallow gay marriage (although they can continue to date and have fun) than to disapprove the damnest of the damned from inflicting pain and suffering in a needless war.

Demon in the White House?
The following is an enlightening article appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune titled “God in the White House”:
“I have voted for Republicans for 40 years, but this is the first time I have ever felt that God was in the White House,” said a gentleman at one of George Bush’s campaign stops. I read or hear similar statements every day or so.
I have a question: If God is so close to President Bush, wouldn’t you expect a few blessings, or at least some benefits above what other presidents have provided? I would think there might be fewer hurricanes, major fires, drought, floods, tornadoes, terror attacks and wars that need U.S. involvement than happened under other presidents.
I would have maybe expected a gentle whisper in Bush’s ear to pay special attention to the President’s daily briefing that said “Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S.” I would at least expect America to be more beloved around the world because of inspired leadership.
Maybe I expect too much, but I hope people who are projecting religious devotion on Bush will please give serious thought to whether it is truly justified.

Missing Military Record - One More Take
“And I walked to the Vietnam Memorial the other day,” Barnes said, “and I looked at the names of the people that died in Vietnam, and I became more ashamed of myself than I have ever been, because it was the worst thing I ever did, was help a lot of wealthy supporters and a lot of people who had family names of importance get into the National Guard. And I’m very sorry about that, and I’m very ashamed, and I apologize to you as voters of Texas.”
Ben Barnes was elected lieutenant governor of Texas in 1969 and served from 1969 to 1973. He helped a young man named George W. Bush into the Texas National Guard when he was in office but “…. and I’m not necessarily proud of that. But I did it. I got a lot of other people in the National Guard because I thought that was what people should do when you’re in office, and you help a lot of rich people.”
A video of Barnes’ speech can be found in Salon.
