Hillary Clinton doesn't have to respond to Richard Cheney. Richard Cheney is being his USUAL manpulative self.

Cheney stated Senator Clinton had no right to ask for a 'troop withdrawal plan' from the DOD because it was serving the purpose of the enemy in that if the enemy; which Cheney never identifies except those that might attack American troops right or wrong, armed or unarmed, innocent or guilty; in that the enemy will 'hunker down' and wait out the withdrawal.

Senator Clinton DID NOT ask the DOD for a 'withdrawal plan.' She asked for a 'contingency plan' should the nation's security issues shift and the troops are needed elsewhere. There is something like 150,000 soldiers in Iraq. The movement of those people is not simply a matter of an order, it needs a plan.

Dick Cheney's statements are not only manipulative to the reality of this administration as it reveals they never had a contingency plan and never planned to have one. In other words, should the USA military have been needed elsewhere to secure THEIR country, THEIR homeland, there was no plan. None considered.

Dick Cheney is a liar and is one of the worst delusionists in politics.

Eric Edelman, the Defense Department's undersecretary for policy, offered a sharply-worded response, saying such discussions boost the enemy.
"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote. His tough language in a letter obtained Thursday was surprising in part because it came in correspondence with a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which has oversight of the Pentagon.

Clinton responded Friday in a letter to Edelman's boss, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, asking if he agreed with Edelman's charge.

She said Edelman had ducked her questions and "instead made spurious arguments to avoid addressing contingency planning."

"Undersecretary Edelman has his priorities backward," Clinton wrote, calling his claim "outrageous and dangerous."

Five days after this exchange between Clinton and the Pentagon this was Gates reply.

"You may rest assured that such planning is indeed taking place with my active involvement as well as that of senior military and civilian officials and our commanders in the field," Gates said. "I consider this contingency planning to be a priority for this department." A Pentagon spokesman stressed there were no plans for a quick or wholesale withdrawal. A phased reduction would be in line with a Bush administration view that some long-term US presence in Iraq may be needed.

Dick Cheney couldn't his facts straight when he invaded Iraq and he still can't today, we actually needed ANOTHER interview to tell us what we already know about Cheney?

Tom Foreman's "Week at War" is the most stupid program I have even witnessed.

He asks, 'Do the neighboring countries of Iraq actually want the USA to leave?'

No course Iraq's neighbors don't want the USA to leave. Our country is 'contained' and their countries are safe from an illegal invasion due to the pressure of the populous of America to stop 'the draft' and 'end the war.' No, they don't want us to leave. I would be surprised if the Saudis actually took responsibility for their border with Iraq, or any of the other countries for that matter. Chaos at the borders of Iraq only helps more and more to contain the military of the USA. I mean do I have to explain all this? The 'containment' of Bush's America is a global strategy.

I am more than happy to admire 'the containment' actually, but, in all sincerity once the current American warlords in the White House are gone there is no reason to continue to support it, but, to befriend the loyalty internationally to peace.

This program is nothing but pure propaganda. There is absolutely no fact but only opinion. That opinion is rendered by 'talking head generals' that have conflict of interest as hired guns for military hardware contractors as consulting firms. There is no validity to anything that occurs during this program.

As a matter of fact, CNN covertly provides programming in 'starring' USA military to facilitate recruitment for Bush and Cheney. They provide impetus to rationalize some kind of odd morality toward enlistment. I applaud American parents for intervening in keeping their young folks at home where they belong.

The foreign military in Iraq, including Americans, are trapped in their capacity without relief. Without relief of their own countrymen's priorities toward ending that war. The American soldiers need to realize they are also guinea pigs to their own military leadership. Over and over again the current leadership in the USA military states, "We are learning a lot from this invasion about the abilities, agilities and determination of the enemy." Really? We need to learn this? I sincerely doubt it because this is a justified rebellion by the Iraqi people.

To learn from an illegal invasion is as much an atrocity and immorality as the lies themselves. The American military leadership is in disarray to their training and orientation at the hand of an administration desperate to hold onto power without regard to the 'decent' priorities of peace and dismantling al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda in Iraq is a manifestation of Bush's illegal and illegimiate war. The fact the USA is so very, very "W"rong regarding the invasion of Iraq has only bolstered the justification globally to extremists. 'On the ground' globally there are Islamists/Muslims mired in poverty seeking to end the suffering of their brothers and sisters in Iraq. These people are making conscious decisions moment to moment based in moral values to uphold the opposition to American occupation. There is a lot of legitimacy to that decision making regardless of it's misguidedness.

In my opinion to insure the 'peacefulness' of Islam there HAS TO BE trials of Bush and Cheney to balance the huge injustice caused to the Islamic populous globally. Whether that will actually happen is anyone's guess.

The propaganda has to be contained as the Republicans AGAIN seek to politically justifiy their elections' strategy. I normally would not put this on the net, but, the propagandists are simply getting more outrageous in their methodologies while the people of the USA remain threatened and confused to their political direction in November 2008.

I thank every leader in the world that relies on peace and military disarmament as a strategy for global stability. They are all more correct than any war strategy could be.

Violence on the streets: Smoke billows from the site of a car bomb in central Baghdad on Monday - This scene is no different three years later.

Congressman Chris Shays (click here) runs his 'rhetoric' again and again and again today it happened on CNN's Late Edition.

It is completely objectionable to realize Bush and Cheney has 'created' a crisis in a sovereign country 'making' a so called 'front on the 'War on Terror.' Then to realize Republicans like Shays come along and say it is OUR obligation to risk American lives and treasure on a completely illegal war.

His rational is even more outrageous. Shays is stating "We have an obligation to 'replace' the Iraqi military after the invasion which took it away."

Really?

Shays goes on to state, incomplete denial of the facts, that if the USA was asked to leave Iraq we would.

Really?

By contrast, a total of 71 percent said they depended mostly on their family and friends and neighbors for security....

Half of Iraqis Approve of Attacks on US Forces, Including 9 Out of 10 Sunnis
A new poll of the Iraqi public finds that a large majority of Iraqis think the US plans to maintain bases in Iraq permanently, even if the newly elected government asks the US to leave. A large majority favors setting a timeline for the withdrawal of US forces, though this majority divides over whether the timeline should be over a period of six months or two years. Nearly half of Iraqis approve of attacks on US-led forces—including nine out of 10 Sunnis. Most Iraqis believe that many aspects of their lives will improve once the US-led forces leave, but are nonetheless uncertain that Iraqi security forces are ready to stand on their own....

This is a 2007 poll !

The Republicans didn't listen to the Iraqi people for four years running now. Back in 2002 and 2003, pre-invasion, the diplomats of Iraq at the United Nations repeatedly stated there were WMD in Iraq. The 'dispatched' UN Inspectors stated there were no WMD in Iraq. Did that stop the Bush/Cheney PLANS to build a 'front for 'The War on Terror?"

Heck no. They plowed ahead while selling their lies and creating a 'Cult-ure of Fear' in the USA.

When Bush, Cheney and their Cabinet launched an illegal war into a sovereign country it was without the concensus of the United Nations OR the USA legislature. But, they plowed ahead just the same and it was quite late to reject the invasion after Bush proceeded and the USA legislature had no choice in supporting the USA military beyond the initial invasion. The hopes were that Iraq would embrace the freedom before them and in that control any uprising and hence the violence would never occur.

That reality was 'played' before the public as well in that the 'old Saddam regime' had to go and therefore the entire infrastructure of Iraq had to be replaced. THAT realizing now there was absolutely NO post invasion strategy for securing the country and preventing anarchy. The gross mismanagement of the post invasion reality now before Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld on March 21, 2003 and the warnings of their generals PRE-invasion resulted in complete breakdown of the Iraqi national security and turned loose every sectarian fear that was successfully oppressed up to that point. Every Iraqi in that country today that was alive on March 18, 2003 will clearly state while living under Saddam was a horror all it's own, they knew somewhat how to deal with it and quality of life then far exceeded ANYTHING that has occurred since.

The REASON the Bush/Cheney White House 'desired' to RELOCATE the 'Front on The War on Terror' to Iraq is because of the oil glut. Just that simple. The only aspect of security in Iraq focused on post invasion has been oil fields. That was a priority right from the beginning and Bush made it appear as though he was taking environmental control of burning oil fields. I laughed at the thought since there were no burning oil fires before the invasion and evidently THAT priority wasn't a concern then.

So to Bush and Cheney the 'opportunity' for war was based on LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The real estate was more important than the enemy.

Since this outrageous invasion, Iran has elected a completely fundamental leadership against their own best security interest and that is playing out now in a shift in election choices resulting in a president using hostages for his own form of propaganda. Not only that but a nuclear reactor that is touted by the region as a 'good excuse' for the Middle East to apply nukes to their military arsenals. It's simply amazing the vast economic boom this has been to the Bush/Cheney cronies ACROSS THE BOARD including their propagandists.

The outrage currently in Iraq is that Sunnis are feeling more justified than ever to kill Americans and in return, 'in pure Bush style' those causing the trouble are then rewarded for their efforts. The Sunni Arabs, including Saudi Arabia, are now being armed by this administration while the Shi'ites are being victimized in the Bush propaganda network 'as the problem.'

Sorry, but, I just don't need the Saudi or Iraqi oil enough to cause a genocide against the Shia.

I propose this. I think the USA 'should sincerely' cause more anarchy. This time we can cause it in the USA while this administration including the rhetorical Republican Congress are hauled off to The World Court because we are killing people and causing tragedy widely across a sovereign nation that should have never been invaded in the first place.

The Baghdad issue is a non-issue. There is no Baghdad. There is a battlefield that is more unsecured today while Shi'ites are being assaulted by the USA military with the help of STILL ANGRY Sunnis. There is no threat from al Qaeda in Iraq that won't disappear as soon as the USA is out of that country.

Iraq is as much a disaster today as Afghanistan was on September 11, 2001 except Iraq remains disarmed as it was Pre-Invasion. Things can ONLY get better in Iraq under leadership the Iraqis feel confident will secure their communities.

Iran and Saudi Arabia need to lay down any intention to arm themselves to the point of war between each other and divide the responsibility of securing Iraq internally to provide stable borders shared with neighboring countries. The fear of the people in Iraq is so high that rational government is not possible. Basically, there is no Iraq.

In regard to the Kurds; Turkey has secured it's borders in the face of growing tensions with northern Iraq and extremists within the ethnicity of the Kurds. So long as the Turks stand their post in protecting their border and hence further invasion into that country from the Kurds I don't see a problem, but, to realize the Turks might 'use the instability' with the Kurdish extremists as a reason to invade Northern Iraq is simply outrageous. If that happens then Turkey has mutually agreed with the Kurds to war over Kurdistan and the USA has no place in that, AT ALL. If the USA was ever to 'back' Turkey then what was the purpose of The No Fly Zones and the thriving Kurdish ethnicity under the Northern No Fly Zone. If the USA were to 'back' Turkey there is ONLY ONE reason and that would again be OIL fields.

To listen to Congressman Shays rattle on and on about the patriarchal position of his party that Iraq needs the USA to stabilize their country is completely preposterous. The rhetorical Shays presumes the Iraqi people have no conscience for attacking Ameicans. THAT is bigotry. It is racism and it is high handed religious ridcule of a people more moral in their ideology than any Republican could ever hope to be.

The Iraqi people have leadership. They want their country to themselves. Imagine that, Iraq actually occupied ONLY by Iraqis. Those people are standing in the middle of a political ideology administered by puppets to Bush and they know it. They don't want it anymore and I don't blame them. In all honesty, the Iraqis have every right to their rebellion and then some.

A deescalation of the tensions between all ethnicities in the region is required and a competent diplomatic effort needs to be dispatched ASAP. I was quite pleased to realize the dynamic diplomatic effort with Pakistan by the Brits and I congratulate them. To realize Bhutto is actually given back her dignity among her people and there is conversation with Musharraf is an amazing accomplishment. That is what I call progress toward stability in a region of the world that is on fire without the assistance of Human Induced Global Warming.

We don't belong in Iraq.

Stephen Colbert, Michael Moore unite against CNN 'web of lies'
David Edwards and Nick Juliano
Published: Friday July 20, 2007

In the spirit of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," filmmaker Michael Moore joined forces with Stephen Colbert to take on CNN in a segment on The Colbert Report Thursday night.
"Loyal viewers of the Report know there's no love lost between me and CNN. They are worse than the New York Times because I cannot line my birdcage with tapes of the Situation Room. I've tried, it's not absorbent," Colbert said. "But I recently discovered in my disdain for CNN I have a strange bedfellow, Michael Moore, who for the past week has gone toe-to-toe with CNN over the facts of his new healthcare documentary, SiCKO."
Earlier this month, Moore was engaged in a public spat with CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta over a report that claimed the film fudged facts with sloppy reporting. After the report aired, CNN did acknowledge it had made one mistake.
"Wooo! CNN admits it is a web of lies," Colbert said.

Michael Moore makes CNN blush
By Constance Droganes / CTV
After a much publicized tête-à-tête between Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, and the outspoken director of "Sicko," the network released a rare statement of apology. In it they owned up to two errors made while reporting on Moore's new documentary.
On his website on July 17th, the vindicated Moore was pleased about two things. Paris Hilton and her sister passed on clubbing and cruising down the strip to see "Sicko." Second, you guessed it, it was CNN eating crow that finally returned his good humour.
"CNN confirmed that all our statistics in "Sicko" are the correct numbers from the sources we cited," Moore writes. "Although CNN still prefers to use older World Health Organization statistics, we will stick to using this year's Bush administration stats and more recent UN data. (In "Sicko," we consistently use only UN Human Development Statistics unless it's for studies they don't do or have recent numbers for."
Moore gives CNN its due for admitting their two errors. Yet to date the Flint, Michigan native has received no apologies for the other mistakes he believes the network made.
"These days to get the mainstream media to admit they were wrong is rare; to get them to admit it twice, as they have with "Sicko," I guess should be considered a whopping victory."

Heidi Collins of CNN acts as a stenographer to Bush. He appeared in the Rose Garden to 'hand the same rhetoric' to the American people. It's all he has after all. But, the reaction by CNN was more than interesting. The commentators are not commentators, they are stenographers to the words of the USA president George Bush.

In the face of CNN's own footage on Anderson Cooper 360 last night depicting 'the fact' the USA does not have control of it's battlefield and how the militias do, Heidi Collins simply added a female voice to the triumph of Bush's words. It's incredible to watch this incompetency. They are either suppressed from expressing descension in voicing what is already known regarding the arming by the USA of the insurgency/rebellion and the control that insurgency has the USA does not. There is absolutely no reason for the USA to be in Iraq as they have failed at every attempt of stabilizing that nation as a Unitified nation. The USA is simply becoming members of the insurgency to 'empower' them to an end that remains undefined except in the way it translates into politics in the USA.

Now, if I can make that observation based ONLY on information put forward on CNN programming then their commentators can as well. But, they don't because it is far better to back Bush and attempt to promote the Neocons in hopes of winning a Guiliani election in 2008.

Stenographers. CNN has no anchors. They have few journalists. Their anchors are stenographers and nothing more. It's the mess at FOX. Forget about the Wall Street Journal if it sells out to Murdock. It will lose it's quality in no time.

Michael Ware - Gee whiz, a Sunni militia. Yes, indeed. Just what the USA needs to 'legitimize' their illegal war. Warlords.

Long time ago, I stated it was prudent to leave Iraq to Iraqis. Well, that is what is going on in Iraq now, so what is the USA still doing there. See, it behooves the Sunnis to 'befriend' the USA when they 'get munitions.'

Oh, good, 'on the spot executions.' When is the World Court going to bring the USA into line with the practice of military legitmacy rather than exploitation of desperate human beings caught up in a war they never asked for.

So, while the USA bolsters the Sunni militias, the escalation in Pakistan and Afghanistan is more than palpable.

ISLAMABAD - Three suicide bomb attacks killed at least 52 people in Pakistan on Thursday, as a militant backlash intensified following the army's storming of a radical mosque in Islamabad.
A wave of bomb attacks has swept across Pakistan, killing more than 160, since the assault nine days ago on the Lal Masjid or Red Mosque complex, a militant stronghold.
At least 30 people were killed on Thursday when a car bomber, apparently targeting a vehicle carrying Chinese workers involved in mining activities, rammed into a police van escorting them in the southern town of Hub.
The Chinese were unhurt but all seven policemen in the van and 23 bystanders were killed. Twenty-eight people were wounded.

Oh good, now we get treated to 'talking head' generals, a CNN favorite strategy since the first propaganda of the Culture of Fear as the 'imbeds' road into Baghdad.

Sunni bloc returns to Iraqi parliament (click here)
The lawmakers end a five-week boycott and pledge to cooperate with Shiites to save the nation from chaos. U.S. military reports the deaths of 10 soldiers.
By Ned Parker, Times Staff Writer
11:39 AM PDT, July 19, 2007
BAGHDAD -- A bloc of Sunni Arab lawmakers returned to Iraq's parliament today, ending a five-week boycott and vowing to work with their Shiite counterparts to save the country from chaos.
Iraq's legislature has been deadlocked for weeks, despite U.S. pressure to meet 18 benchmarks, including a national oil revenue law and legislation to rehabilitate state employees purged from government because of their membership in the late dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.
Congress has linked continued support for U.S. military operations in Iraq to the Baghdad government's success at meeting the goals set by Washington for measuring movement toward reconciliation.
It was unclear if the Sunnis' return would signal a quick push to pass measures ahead of the Iraqi lawmakers' monthlong August vacation, or whether the parliament would delay its break to give U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of American forces in Iraq, some legislative accomplishments to tout when they deliver to Congress in September their assessment of current military operations....

BAGHDAD -
A triple bombing, including a massive suicide truck blast, killed more than 80 people Monday in Kirkuk, the deadliest attack yet in the oil-rich northern city. The bloodshed reinforced concern that extremists are heading north as U.S.-led forces step up pressure around Baghdad.
The vast majority of the casualties came in the truck bombing, which blasted a 30-foot-deep crater and damaged part of the roof of the headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the party of President Jalal Talabani. The explosion took place in a crowded commercial area and appeared aimed at causing as many civilian deaths as possible.

Glen Becks moronity repeals CNN's apology AFTER CNN states Sanjay Gupta was "W"rong and Michael Moore was right.

The attack by CNN against the American Middle Class never ends. These people absolutely hate the Middle Class of the USA where they step outside the subservency of performing military operations for their corporations.

BOYCOTT CNN. They are hopelessly Neocons with a real distaste for Americans.

Norway's Health Care (start here). This simply to set more CNN lies straight.

CNN is still lusting after the destruction of Michael Moore by comparing apples and oranges. Norway is grossly different in it's geography and 'life style' compared to nations COVERED by 'Sicko' such as France, Great Britian and the USA where health care companies allow the deaths of subscribers to enhance profitability.

Norway is a constitutional monarchy, not a democracy. The people of Norway have representatives on the International Whaling Commission to attempt to turn the vote in favor of the return of whaling of endangered species. If Norway isn't fishing the seas they are pumping them as a large oil producer.

The Norwegian economy is a prosperous bastion of welfare capitalism, featuring a combination of free market activity and government intervention. The government controls key areas, such as the vital petroleum sector, through large-scale state enterprises. The country is richly endowed with natural resources - petroleum, hydropower, fish, forests, and minerals - and is highly dependent on its oil production and international oil prices, with oil and gas accounting for one-third of exports. Only Saudi Arabia and Russia export more oil than Norway. Norway opted to stay out of the EU during a referendum in November 1994; nonetheless, as a member of the European Economic Area, it contributes sizably to the EU budget. The government has moved ahead with privatization. Although Norwegian oil production peaked in 2000, natural gas production is still rising. Norwegians realize that once their gas production peaks they will eventually face declining oil and gas revenues; accordingly, Norway has been saving its oil-and-gas-boosted budget surpluses in a Government Petroleum Fund, which is invested abroad and now is valued at more than $250 billion. After lackluster growth of less than 1% in 2002-03, GDP growth picked up to 3-4% in 2004-06. Norway's economy remains buoyant. Domestic economic activity is, and will continue to be, the main driver of growth, supported by high consumer confidence and strong investment spending in the offshore oil and gas sector.

Regardless of the unsophisticated nature of Norway's economy, they still participate in many environmental treaties.

party to: Air Pollution, Air Pollution-Nitrogen Oxides, Air Pollution-Persistent Organic Pollutants, Air Pollution-Sulfur 85, Air Pollution-Sulfur 94, Air Pollution-Volatile Organic Compounds, Antarctic-Environmental Protocol, Antarctic-Marine Living Resources, Antarctic Seals, Antarctic Treaty, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Climate Change-Kyoto Protocol, Desertification, Endangered Species, Environmental Modification, Hazardous Wastes, Law of the Sea, Marine Dumping, Ozone Layer Protection, Ship Pollution, Tropical Timber 83, Tropical Timber 94, Wetlands, Whaling

Norway is very similar in it's 'per capita' spending as an OPEC nation. They seek to indulge their populous in high technology which makes health care more expensive per capita, but spread out over many more people becomes less an expense to 'single payer' health care.

also have inequality to the level of 'emergency response' to their rural communities and the fatality rate is higher in these communities because their monarchy hasn't addressed the issue well yet.

Norwegians pay more 'per capita' in health care costs because they don't care how much they spend. The Norwegian per capita income due to it's oil wealth is high and in actuality how much does a small society need to be prudent about? That is the attitude Norway has. When Norway DECIDES to be prudent in their 'national budget' I am sure it will be an interesting venture but currently their health care system is more interested in 'increasing' their quality of care by allowing residents to choose among their FIVE hospitals when they need a procedure. The comparison of an indulgent monarchy to the failing USA health care system is simply playing politics with American lives. It seems to be a habit with CNN. Who do they think they are? The media of the USA is better off without them.

Whaling, by the way, in Norway is a cultural issue, no different than many Scandanvian countries such as Iceland. It's difficult for them to remove their passion of whaling from their societies because of it's very, very long history of it.

am confident Norwegians would be appalled at the level of hate of FREE health care exhibited by the CNN Glen Beck Show and would kring to realize they were a part of hurting anyone in the USA.

Economic Survey of Norway 2005 (click here)

Chapter 1. Key issues and challenges
Norway has very high per capita income and low income inequality. Good policy fundamentals and strong institutions have allowed the transformation of natural resource assets into high growth rather than into destructive rent-seeking. Still, policies need to address future risks to good performance and act to contain them. One such challenge is adapting to a major hike of the oil price without fuelling excessive domestic demand pressure, real exchange rate appreciation, and further crowding out of the exposed sector. So far, Norway has successfully avoided such a scenario by adherence to a prudent macro policy framework and pro-growth structural policy reforms, though there are pressures to spend more of the oil money on social programmes and investment. Another key challenge is to cope with the threat to fiscal sustainability from population ageing. The accumulation of oil receipts in the State Petroleum Fund implies a pre-funding of future old-age pension liabilities, but only partially. A pension reform is needed, and has been proposed. Inflows into early retirements and disability are reducing the average retirement age, increasingly impeding labour supply and amplifying the future financing gap. Health and long-term care spending may also exert significant fiscal pressure as the population ages.

I realize the wealthy of the world can afford anything without prudent social programs. Even in the USA the wealthy can pay their own medical costs without feeling 'the pinch.' SICKO isn't about 'the wealthy' unless they have insurance policies that have caused them death.

CNN is ludicrous.

Nancy Grace seems to think it is important to explore the issues that now surround Michael Vick from an economic perspective. I oppose 'private dog fighting' as a cruel and indecent 'sport.' However, no one is asking the question as to why Mr. Vick ventured into such a horrible sport. Could it be related to his hometown beginnings in 'inner city' culture of Newport News, Virginia which is one of the most violent cities in the nation. There are nearly as many murders in Newport News, Virginia in 2007 as occurred in all of 2006. The murder rate and property crime in that city has been consistently high with above average national standards for minimally three years running.

7-state dogfight center detailedVick's property, but not his name, cited in court documents (click here)
By D. ORLANDO LEDBETTER
The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionPublished on: 07/07/07
Property owned by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was the "main staging area for housing and training the pit bulls" for a widespread dog fighting operation in at least seven states, according to a document obtained Friday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Also Friday, federal investigators executed the second sealed search warrant in a month at Vick's Surry County, Va., property.

I don't have sympathy for Mr. Vick, but, he needs to address the issue of cruelty to animals following this discovery of the an outrageously violent Dog Sport on his property. It is a sport, even though illegal.

USE of dogs for amusement and wagering is more than just this operation. This is a significant 'beginning' to exploring the relationship of dogs to cruelty including the fact there are societies that adopt out Gray Hounds from the race track. Dogs are considered companion animals in many states in this country. It give them special status. These operations and misuse of dogs is simply outrageous and has to be scrutinized for it's cruelty.

In the same breath, is Mr. Vick's beginnings as a child in a violent 'inner city' experience the CAUSE for his focus in this 'dog sport' as an adult. Dogs are used in the inner city to stave off crimes. They are 'turned out' in yards of homes 'hungry' to make them more vicious should anyone try to break into a home or come on a property. We all know the legacy of 'the junk yard dog.' It's true and the perfection of 'the perfect attack dog' is in the minds of many to 'insure' safety where no one else can. I don't forgive Mr. Vick for his misguided passion but only wish he would address it openly and in advocacy to prevent any more of it.

England
Yep. That is a wind farm and the young folks on the beach took the picture as they reflect on their futures with benevolent energy sources. Hope. It's called hope and it's important to generations of Americans, even those yet to be born.

1000 PM

Anderson is on an Arizona roof, but, in time to secure John McCain from complete demise. How touching.

1003

Thelma Gutierrez (sp.) Illegal immigration. You know, if I am not mistake, the OTHER Senator of Arizona, Kyl voted against immigration reform. Let's see.

1007

NO it was McCain that voted againt it. I'll have to check it out though. Actually Kyl was rather interested in the bill although this article wants to rip his guts out. As a matter of fact he also had an interesting bill regarding security for the borders.

Sen. John Kyl's Immigration Bill Vote Splits Arizona (I won't put a link there is all kind of pop up garbage attached to it.)
NewsMax.com WiresMonday, May 28, 2007
PHOENIX -- Hard-liners in the immigration debate stood behind Sen. Jon Kyl for his tough stance on immigration last year, while undocumented immigrants thrashed a pinata bearing his image.
Now the Arizona Republican's surprise support for a bipartisan Senate bill seeking to legalize some 12 million illegal immigrants and create a guest-worker program has bewildered friends and foes alike in the desert state.

This is a bill introduced in 2005.

The Cornyn-Kyl Immigration Reform Act: Flawed But Fixable (click here)
by James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., Janice L. Kephart, and Alane Kochems
Executive Memorandum #982
Any effective national security solution to reduc­ing illegal border crossings and the unlawful popu­lation in the United States must address internal enforcement of immigration laws, international cooperation, and border security. Effective immi­gration reform must be a key component of these reforms. The legislation proposed by Senators John Cornyn (R–TX) and Jon Kyl (R–AZ) offers just such a comprehensive approach but falls short by not adequately deterring illegal entry.
On the Right Track. After Sen­ator Cornyn became chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommit­tee on Immigration, he held a series of hearings with Senator Kyl, chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee, on a vari­ety of terrorist travel and border enforcement issues. The Comprehensive Enforcement and Immigration Reform Act (S. 1438) reflects the les­sons learned from these hearings and their own experiences in Texas and Arizona.

Candy Crowley usually reviews Democrats during the election. This time she is giving McCain a go. Maybe that is more her preference.

There is an interesting word. Anderson Cooper uses it alot.

INDEPENDANT

This news program is attempting to 'capture' the attention of Independant voters and act as a steering committee toward the Republican Party. This is why Crowley is involved. It gives AC360 'a leg up' to 'style' that ? might ? bring in the Independants for the primary and hold them through the 2008 election. Anderson uses the word Independant a lot in advertising. All the time. You know hoping Pavlov's dog will take hold.

1021

Here we go trying to tell the 'independants' that ? might ? be viewing also has the inside track on the Democrats and Clinton is a favor word, just it is with Rove.

1023

Ads. "A folk song about an Anti-Tax (Republican) 'feelings'

Celalsi - anyone realize how the Erectile Dysfunction is always stressing female identity. What was that one, Viagra - Niagra; Cialis - See Alice; Lavetra - The Rita; etc. I wonder why they all sound they have an association with women, huh?

Oh, yeah, "Born to Run" and Andy's promotion of You Tube questions for candidates.

1026

Follow up to Clinton and this time with Edwards a favor subject of 'what's her name?' You know the Republican witch that pretends to be a compassionate woman. Well, whatever. She was on Chris Matthew's show recently.

Oh, here we go, personal attacks on Michael's 'habeous corpus' by Mike Huckabee. Pathetic jerks.

1028

An in show ad for more videos for the election debate. Here goes the tax song again. They should be so burdened and have real compassion for all Americans.

You know "You Tube" promoted itself just fine without the help or perhaps it's a hindrence of Anderson Cooper. Anderson talks like You Tube is his idea. Hello? Plagarism AGAIN.

I'll be darn Tom what's his name is talking about the US Space Program that was just on Larry King Live. They got this mess down pat, huh? Oh, yeah. Control the argument, control the world, or at least the financial centers that FEED OFF THE USA TREASURY. Right, Mr. Paulson?

The worst thing CNN did was to get rid of Soledad. Miles was no great loss but should have left Soledad there.

1033

Commercials

"Fuels our lives and powers our work force, etc." Oil and natural gas and what does Iraq and Iran have plenty of? I'll be darn.

Next ad is from a pharmaceutical company. A drug called Rozerem. Sleep happy America regardless of the mania you might feel with an illegitimate government in DC and a nation still unsecured by Homeland Security. You know I don't havve that problem. At all and I live in the same world as everyone else. I have confidence in the direction of a nation lead by Democrats. I have confidence in heroes like Michael Moore. I have hope in my life. I sleep great actually.

1036

Ethanol. You know with drought the 'idea' this is a viable solution to 'energy independance' is ecoming less realistic. Electricity provided by OFF SHORE Wind Farms. Then there is the capacity of wind production of the Mid West of the USA> I've got a picture of a Wind Farm off England's shore. I'll put it above. Some would say it's unsightly. I find full of hope and longing for a benevolent Earth for the younger generations of Americans.

1042

Okay I missed a few commercials but one has to know they served a political purpose like the Dodge Ram truck commercial. It wasn't geared toward industrial use of a Dodge pickup truck, it was linked to modern music and the 'jazz' of owning and driving a pick up truck whether you acutally need it or not.

1044

Anderson and his Earth thing. Wolves. Grey wolves have been reintroduced to natural habitat. It makes issues for sheep farmers. But the issue it creates for livestock owners is negligble compared to the return of a balanced ecosystem which includes Grey Wolves. Farmers estute enough are good managers and exhibit minimal losses due to Grey Wolves.

1047

Commercials

BMW - the ultimate driving machine. I guess for the folks that can afford them watching AC360 that might be true.

There goes the E-Loan thing. The 'angle' that will help you pay your exorbitant health care bills while moving closer and closer to bankrupcy and losing your home. That was a really important one for the viewers of AC360. Indeed.

Then onto all kinds of dermatological issues with mosquito bites to prevent them and right on to Gold Bond Powder, the powder that replaces the need for a doctor.

1051

Oh, there is what's her name talkign 'around' the latest great fashionable sports hunk. She has to talk around the issue because she can't get an interview. Randy Kay, that's her name. The reporter of the segment and not the wife of the hunk.

1054

Tom Foreman and the newsy segment.

1055

There is a Japanese segment of bathing with Rahman. It must be in support of the weather man's obsession with a typhoon in the Pacific currently. What's his name? I forget. He has to look to the Pacific to find anything that looks normal which might reflect a normal Atlantic season. I am waiting to hear how 'Chad' (that's his name) magically transforms the hurricane in the Pacific to one on the way to a place like Seattle. That would be interesting and inventive Chad considering that has never happened before Human Induced Global Warming leading to Climate Change. How about that huh?

1058

Oooo, the criminally insane in a movie. Do you know what a single payer system would do for such issues. For drug addiction, alcoholism, mental health.

They showed Mike's film loop briefly. I think that was at least twice the last hour.

1059

The next hour of Andy. I suppose.

1101

The ethanol thing again.

1105

Back to the immigrant issue. You know, Aaron wanted a tow hour program the entire time he was an anchor for NewsNight. He never got it until David started a four hour program during the illegal invasion into Iraq. Aaron wanted two hours to cover different subjects, not just to repeat it for a west coast audience. This is boring.

There is a good idea. Let's do away with a law if it isn't being used. I think that has been an agenda for the Republcians and the NRA for decades. Lower taxes, bankrupt the government and deregulate every aspect of civil law and turn the public loose to protect themselves and enforced by vigilantism their own best interests to the point of exhaustion whereby they themselves are dead or just apathetic beyond imagination. Sort of like Iraq now.

1109

Here ya go, Chad. You shouldn't limit your observation of severe near shore storms to the Northern Hemisphere. This is from your buddy's newspaper; Rupert. The Australian. See indeed. Australia. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

THEY began on the NSW central coast and rolled along the eastern seaboard, pummelling the beaches along the way - the stormy swells, gale-force winds and heavy rainfall exacting their toll on the shoreline.
While the experts won't give the official nod, the series of winter storms along the east coast over the past month appears to clearly spell the end of what we were told was the mother of all droughts.
At least five east coast low-pressure systems -- rapidly developing weather events that bring gale-force winds and severe flooding -- have buffeted the east coast since early June.
They have caused havoc, wiping out large seams of coastline and threatening properties from the Hunter region of NSW right down to Seaspray, about 50km south of Lakes Entrance on Victoria's Gippsland Coast, where locals are laying tea-tree in front of the Surf Life Saving clubhouse this weekend in an attempt to hold back the ocean and save the clubhouse building.

It is 1124 PM on CNN and is all well? Nah.

This is more of McCain, Candy Crowley in the pursuit of the Independant voter. Boring.

1127

Tom Foreman again. I never got into the DC Madam. I figure if she makes an honest living giving a service to Dominant men whom want relief from having sex with their wives and having more kids, it's probably an importatn public service.

The DC Madam. The gift that keeps on giving. Or did I have that backwards. Pregnancy, the gift that keeps on giving. Indeed. I think I like her. Truly. I think prostitution should be legalized. These are women. They are not chattel. They are human beings that market to men in desire of their company. I never saw sex between consenting adults as a crime. I think it's stupid to view it that way. I mean what have married women, especially in an oppressed society whereby they can never get away from pregnancy and child rearing, have against prostitutes. I would think they would be a blessing.

Besides that there is such a thing as recreational sex. If women don't mind making a living having sex then I guess they 'do it' several times a day. Or at least by appointment. That's probably a plus for "Viagra" users. Nothing about sex between adults is that serious. It's fun, damn it.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey, facing charges of running a prostitution ring in Washington, opened her remarks in Washington today with an apology to the first casualty of her defense strategy, which is to name her clients and then call them as witnesses at her trial.
“First, allow me to say how genuinely sorry I am for Mr. Tobias, his family and his friends,” she said to the deputy of secretary of state, Randall Tobias, who resigned on Friday after confirming that he received massages from Ms. Palfrey’s escorts.
A few moments later, she revealed frustration with his “refusal to come forward until now” to back her case that nothing illegal happened.
“Had he done so earlier along with the many, many others who have used my company’s services throughout the years, I most likely would not be in my current predicament,” she argued.

I don't care to continue this tonight. I did good. Lasted through most of this mess.

Micheal Moore, his producers and promoters need to file suit against CNN for plagarism. They are mimicking 'the methodology' of "SICKO" as it is unfolding on Larry King Live this evening. They are not interested in promoting the best interest of the nation as exhibited by Miles O'Brian on "The Situation Room." CNN is trying to 'capture' the 'political upper hand' by plagarizing Moore's genius and spinning it in the favor of profit.

Michael Moore is not present to faciliate, as a co-anchor, along with Sanjay Gupta and Larry King. CNN is attempting to replace Moore with Gupta.

Plagarism. There is no originality to this 2 hour travesty to the 'best interest' of the American People.

Life or Death, Michael. No one in this country or the filmmaking industry can surpass your methodology. It is unique. You need to patent it, but, it is already covered by legal processes that shows people literally 'stealing' your purpose in the form of documentary.

Get an injuction against them Michael, they are attempting to hurt you, Harvey and all those that benefit from the subjects you expose as corrupt. Do it. Just do it. You and Harvey want to facilitate a conversation for the nation. It won't possible in the hands of the inempt.

Stop being the 'nice guys' and the 'good guys' willing to give the USA a hand to get out of it's own way. Start living with the idea that Michael and Harvey are the ONLY nice guys in the USA with the capacity to help the American Public with their plight under the oppression of corporate profits.

Michael's sources could not be better. There is absolutely nothing that wrong with SICKO. It's called slander.

8:27 PM

There is 'preventive' medicine built into Medicare in the way of Mammograms. The New York Times is a huge advocate for those in need of quality care and have addressed the deficits in Medicare and Medicaid in this area of preventive care. Not only that but every person that comes to the hospital under Medicare is a candidate for 'home care services' for at least three months to educate and rehabilitate any person. This is simply a lie to bring skepticism and raise the 'possiblity' that ONLY reform is needed to the current medical insurances available to the American public. This is outrageous and a flat out lie.

Medicare Preventive Care Benefits (click here)

Medicare Rights Center

They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Did you know that Medicare covers certain potentially life-saving preventive benefits? If you are eligible, Medicare will cover all or part of the cost of:

Initial physical exam
Screening tests for heart disease
Screening mammograms
Pap smears and pelvic exams
Bone mass measurement
Colon cancer screening
Prostate screening
Diabetes testing
Diabetes self-management training, foot care and supplies
Flu shot
Pneumonia vaccine
Hepatitis B vaccine
Glaucoma screening
Medical Nutritional Therapy

For further information on these benefits, please scroll down this page. Remember that your doctor may not always know what Medicare covers, so it is important to ask your doctor if you want any of these services. As long as you meet basic eligibility standards, you have the right to receive these services no matter which Medicare health plan you are enrolled in. However, be sure to follow the Medicare guidelines for receiving these services in order to ensure that Medicare will cover them. If your Medicare plan refuses to give you or pay for this care but your doctor says you are entitled, you should appeal their decision.

Note: If you would like detailed information about specific rules and policies for any of these services, call the National Medicare Hotline at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

8:35 PM

Michael have your own 'Town Hall Meetings.' No different than your college campaign after Fahrenheit 911. Patent it. Do it. Just do it. Provide admission to a percentage of the seats of people that normally could afford to be there. Just do it. No one else is trustworthy enough.

8:39 PM

Commercials concerning supplemental insurance plans to Medicare. Really?

I tell you want Michael. When you hold your Town Hall Sessions invite the Democratic Candidates that want to promote the issue with you. Give them a platform.

8:40 PM

Split screen of a woman promoting the insurance and access of all people of the country. The nay-sayer has 'attitude' toward the advocacy. Power attitude, too. Modeling for the opposition to change.

More split screens and this time with the face of Sanjay Gupta.

Oh and there is Mr. Attitude again.

8:45 PM

Commericals again, COX Cable, local ad; Block Island Ferry; "Bull Frog" mosquito spray; "Gold Bond" foot powder - health issue; "Garlique" - health promotion for self medication through herbal supplement for proper medical attention of a serious condtion called Hypercholesterolemia.

8:48 PM

Title of this mess tonight "American Health Care: In Crisis ?" - I didn't know there would be a question about a crisis when citizens die at the hand of their insurance companies. Split screens again.

8:51 PM

A King Cam participant incorporating the image of citizens interviewed by Moore in his film. Pargarism.

8:52 PM

Commercials - BMW after a commentator in the previous segment referred to American Health Care stated, "We are paying luxury car prices for jelopies." It is an attempt to recapture the image put forward.

"Enegy dot org" - promotes inappropriate strategies for America facing the realites of Human Induced Global Warming

"Saving Grace" - A promotion to Christian Fundamentalists to capture their attention to the 'concepts' of the program to counter Moore's SICKO.

Another NON-Commercial with people stating "That is the issue."

Followed by CNN's own promotion of itself while the letters of the promotion are typed across the screen.

8:56 PM

Sanjay Gupta and Mr. Attitude, advocating for a 'basic approach' to universal health care for Americans. No discussion at all about catatrophic health care and the beauty of a country willing to treat all the citizens incorporating the current 'investigational' therapies available at hospitals such as The Cleveland Clinic and Memorial Sloan Kettering. There is no reason in this country for anyone to suffer at the hand of deprivation and the threat of death at the hand of commercial insurers. The Amerian people under the leadership of people 'that can' will do better.

8:58 PM

End of the 'star performance' of Sanjay Gupta and onto the weird UFOs.

later...AC360 started the mess of degrading the quality of SICKO, may as well check him out tonight, too.
