[New York Times] It should be clear to all by now that what we have in the Bush team is a faith-based administration. It launched a faith-based war in Iraq, on the basis of faith-based intelligence, with a faith-based plan for Iraqi reconstruction, supported by faith-based tax cuts to generate faith-based revenues. This group believes that what matters in politics and economics are conviction and will — not facts, social science or history. ... The Bush team's real vulnerability is its B.M.D. — Budgets of Mass Destruction, which have recklessly imperiled the nation's future, with crazy tax-cutting and out-of-control spending. The latest report from the Congressional Budget Office says the deficit is expected to total some $2.4 trillion over the next decade — almost $1 trillion more than the prediction of just five months ago. That is a failure of intelligence and common sense that threatens to make us all insecure — and people also feel that in their guts. ... My comments: I sure hope more and more of them do. Bush budget aids defense, home security [Maryland's Online Community] $2.4 trillion spending plan forecasts record deficit, alarms conservatives; Democrats seize on issue; Proposal cuts education, environment, agriculture ... My comments: Georgie manages to upset both conservatives and liberals...what talent! (Not that we'll ever get it, but) "Americans deserve Bush's profound apology" [Maryland's Online Community] Imagine that you are the parent, or the brother or sister, or the wife, husband or child of a young man or woman killed in Iraq - one of the 138 who died in the march on Baghdad, or one of the 384 who have died there since May 1, when major combat was pronounced over. ... My comments: Or imagine you're one of those poor kids who's over there right now... You were all gung-ho, fired-up patriotic at the beginning! But now you've realized how wrong it's all been, how you and your family and your country were lied to, how badly bungled the whole operation has been... And now you're surrounded by chaos and angry Iraqis and incompetent leaders with no idea what to do about the mess... How awful. You're stuck there, not allowed to speak out, forced to do what you're told.... Man, I'd find a way to fall off a roof and break a few bones or something. But then I'm sure they don't really want to leave their commrades behind either... What a fiasco. P.S.
George W. Bush
is "a miserable failure on foreign
policy and on the economy and he's got to be replaced."
