One torturer down as, Chief Torture Architect Resigns Embattled Attorney General Resigns. Now just George Bush, and Dick Cheney are left. Once the U.S. is rid of these criminals, then American can begin to reclaim their honor.
Karl Rove hasn’t Left yet.
There is a story circulating in the ether that Alberto Gonzales has resigned as of Friday. with the odds going up here it looks like a sure bet he’s gone.
This looks like great news if it’s true.
As usual Damien is highlighting Bertie’s government failings with this
‘I ain’t really with it, I’m gettin’ off at Tara’ story.
What do you expect, Bertie can’t even tell the truth about his own expenses. And you think he would spend any money on people with needs? What, and give it to people who he doesn’t know personally? What would he give to his friends if he spent it on things like, drug prevention, drug rehabilitation, social services for children, children’s rights. That stuff is expensive, and mostly no one will notice if he just lies a bit more.
What gets me is this man got re-elected. What does that say about the electorate?
If the obvious has not yet been demonstrated clearly, then Bush not ruling out Libby pardon should come as no surprise.
But from here on out all crimes done by Bush Administration Politicians are now above the reach of the law.
It’s no wonder that the Taoiseach Bertie and President Bush are such great friends. They both believe that the ruling class do not observer the same laws as common folks.
This is either a case of the most radical attack on socialized medicine as Terror suspects all linked to NHS. Or this is the most flagrant violation of the Hippocratic Oath ever recorded.
There is a great deal that does not make sense here.
I am amazed at all the campaign posters with Bertie’s photo on display, advertising all the other crooks on Bertie’s team. I’ll bet a lot of Fianna Fail politicians are wishing they hadn’t become associated with the Chief Crook and bottle washer 😉

It looks like George’s and Dick’s Co-Conspirators are leaving town before the fall of the Bush regime as Halliburton will move HQ to Dubai.
Anyone get the feeling of rat’s deserting a sinking ship?
Does the U.S. have an extradition treaty with Dubai?
In the category of ‘Dud’ with all the censorship, poor biased reporting, or just plain NO reporting on politics. How could this be surprising. Americans embrace politics online! Especially from the Mass Media in America, owned primarily by Big Business, who are the last to challenge the status quo. How would you ever hear the real facts about politics?
Crime statistics aside, much of the current crime has been committed by gangs. Gangs formed in the absence of alternatives in the infrastructure and jobs. Note also the glamorization of drugs and alcohol and the easy life. All these things are the results of neglect 10, 15 and 20 years ago of community infrastructures and youth facilities. Facilities still missing, and continuing to contribute canon fodder, in form of a lost generation, to the crime.
The old saying, the crows have come home to roost fits perfectly. And this will continue to happen until facilities, good facilities, youth centers, job training, and educational facilities. More funding for schools, and school facilities and good jobs, for students to look forward to working at, could provide alternatives to crime.
And of all things decentralization, of all things, could also be the facilitator of less crime. Rat studies years ago have noted that high population densities increase community violence. Decentralization of industrial jobs and government must lead to increased community infrastructure, schools, shopping and transport in more rural areas.
We are living in a generation lost, and it will not be mended by treating the symptoms, but by attacking the root causes. We will not save this generation until we save the next one.
