Guardian
- 1-30-04
The British
government was today facing renewed pressure over the case for war with Iraq

Hussein may never have held stocks of nuclear, chemical or biological
weapons.
The national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, one of US president George
Bush's most trusted lieutenants and a strong advocate of the invasion of
Iraq, made the concession during a series of interviews on major American
news programmes....

White House pushes deficit to trillions
People's Weekly World, United States - 1-30-04
Just a week after bragging in his State of the Union speech
that the economy is on the mend, George W. Bush faced angry charges that his
policies have pushed working people deeper in debt to enrich the wealthy
elite.
The Fair Taxes for All Coalition (FTFA) released a scathing statement ... |

Subject: Why the President didn't say
"imminent"
Dear Lisa,
You have no doubt noticed the preoccupation of the right wing with the claim
that Bush did not say Iraq was an "imminent" threat.
I have learned that the actual reason was that, despite staffers coaching, the
best Mr. Bush could do was something like "Eminem mint", so they went with
alternative verbiage.
I was also informed of the reason staffers used "African" rather than "Niger" in
the 2003 SOTU speech, but I would prefer to save that for the book.
John
Thanks for writing John. Considering W's propensity for
mispronouncing words, the staffers were smart in substituting Africa for Niger.
Too bad.

with you. See her great toon below

Franken Assaulting People?
1-28-04 The Hamster
If you've been reading what's been written in the
conservative press lately, you may have been hearing a lot about Al Franken and
an incident with a Lyndon LaRouche supporter. However, there is more to the
story than what the NY Post and Newsmax.com have been selectively reporting.
This is what I wrote on AlFrankenWeb.com...
Ode to Feisty Franken
http://www.madkane.com/franken.html
Ferocious Franken,
Feisty Al's our man.
He'll tackle hecklers sans battle plan.
With wit so zany,
Franken cuts through bunk.
He's not just brainy -- Big Al's got spunk.
So if you're thinking
Of insulting Dean,
John Kerry, Edwards, or being mean.
You'd better check and
See if Al's around.
Cause Al can take you in one quick round.
Hi Lisa,
The hate-wing attack machine [against John Kerry] started with drudge and the
botox digs.
Where will it lead?
Steve
I imagine pretty close to your toon! I
heard Imus on MSNBC criticize Kerry's wife for wearing an alpaca scarf. Huh?
Let the games begin.
I saw a subliminal advertising
executive, but only for a second. Steven Wright
Scott Ritter
was on C-SPAN this morning. He was a UN weapons inspector from 1991-1998.
He spoke against the war in Iraq long before Bush did his pre-emptive strike.
The media slammed him. I found this article from September 2002.
Worth reading. Ritter was right.
