McCain's Boast Could Be Blood On Our Hands
McCain is now boasting that he'll win the Iraq War in his first term. He's previously given us a hint of his formula for victory, the strategy he was mad his leaders in Vietnam wouldn't take, civilian bombing bloodbath. As an American supposedly ruled by a government by and for the people, you have to ask youself if you (yes, you, yourself as if you vote for it you cannot wash your hands of it later) want to be responsible for what a McCain victory in Iraq would look like.

Reading Ellen's report here, the papers and major news sites today I can surmise the following;
Bush said talking to other countries in an effort to solve problems and end war makes you a terrorist, like Hitler.
McCain thinks bombing (sorry innocent civilians) for the sake of moving things along makes you a hero in the eyes of fear-mongering republicans who vote.
God ( I don't care whose ) help us all.

Grampy McSame also agreed with the Hypocrite-in-Chief's statements. That's just swell. Especially coming from Bush, whose grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power.
Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president.
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Today, the House voted down any additional funding for the war! (Hey, it's a start.)
Apparently, the house republicans, in an effort to protest a vote, voted "present" on the $163M Iraq War funding bill.
So, the House Dems voted AGAINST the bill, and it failed!
Care to take a wild guess who voted "present?"

Madame DeFarge: Kirk was in a spot -- if he voted for the bill to "support the troops," he would also be voting for a "tax increase." A tough decision for a Republican in a hotly contested race -- a true moderate would have voted for the bill and explained that letting people earning more than $500,000 share in the war sacrifice by giving up their tax break is a good American policy.
Those who most enjoyed the Bush tax cuts have disproportionately supported the Iraq non-War and have disporportionately fewer children serving in the military.
So, instead of being a moderate and showing character when it counted, he hid behind his GOP leaders.
