Today on NPR Ann Garrels, who has been in Iraq for the duration, reported that Moqtada al Sadr has told the Mahdi Army to sit down and shut up. She says further that Sunni, Shia and Kurdish leaders have agreed to use the US troop increase to bring a measure of peace and stability to Baghdad and to Iraq,

People are saying the right things, according to Garrels, signaling that the Iraqis may have had enough of this terrible civil war.

I combed the rest of the MSM, and the blogs for another

...over 'dirty tricks' allegedly played against Jeb during governor's race in '94. GHWB claimed, citing no specifics or evidence, that Lawton Chiles showed 'what kind of decency' he had during the course of that campaign. And Jeb did not, his dad said, whine. Well, GWHB, some of us remember a creature named Lee Atwater and your campaign against Mike Dukakis.

...that chased the Grey Hound bus and chased it and chased it? When he finally caught up, he didn't know what to do with it. Will Democrats, once they get the House ( which will happen on Tuesday) know what to do with power? And how much power will they have, actually, with the Unitary Fascist Dolt still occupying the Presidency?

Here are some questions for us to entertain: Read More

I mean, besides fear itself? I'm askeered of Bathos. He's a guy who owns a gyros stand on 34th & Vine. No, seriously, folks, I'm concerned that the outcome of the election will be inconclusive, ambiguous, difficult to read, will precipitate a protracted round of jibbering and blibbering that will serve as cover for mo' worser depredations by the W, who will, regardless of the outcome still, alas, be the preznit.

Here are a couple of more commandments for Dems in '08:

11. Don't run on the 'Poor Unfortunates' platform. Don't punctuate speeches with sad anecdotes about people who got shafted. Don't be the party of left handed people with acne. Do become the party of main stream Americans.

12. Don't sacrifice core values. Don't throw anyone under the bus. Winning with a Lieberman (or a Bayh, who is a marginally milder case of Lieberman) is not winning.

Found on page 7, section 1 of my morning newspapter (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)

State Department officials appointed by President Bush have sidelined key career weapons experts and replaced them with less experienced political operatives who share the White House and Pentagon's distrust of international negotiations and treaties.

The reorganizaton of the department's arms control and international security bureaus was intended to help it better deal with 21st century threats. Instead, it's thrown the agency into turmoil and produced an exodus of experts with decades of experience in nuclear arms, chemical weapons and related matters, according to 11 current and former officials and documents obtained by Knight Ridder Read More

On CBS News tonight, a reporter loudly and emphatically repeated that the Abramoff scandal is BI-PARTISAN. She said that Jack directed his clients to donate to Democrats. She offered no evidence for this assertion and appeared to be ignorant of statistical data that establish the reverse of her claim. But no one outside the blogosphere will ever know that she was full of hokum. Read More

I remember a story from the Iran-Contra days. At least, I think I remember it. The story went like this. CIA Director William Casey had a massive stroke. Bob Woodward claimed to have interviewed him in the hospital, where Casey lay terminally ill. Woodward came away from this interview with all kinds of juicy stuff about Iran-Contra. In response to Woodward's story, Casey's wife wrote to the editor. She said her husband was in a deep coma, that he did not know her or their children and that he certainly had not been talking to Bob Woodward about Iran and Contras. I suspect that a) Bob Woodward never recovered from his moment of Watergate glory and has been attempting to recapture it ever since and that b) he is a Republican, a shill for Republicans, no true journalist and a garden variety lier.

It will be interesting to see how Europeans respond to condibush's rather brutal 'diplomacy', with regard to secret flights, rendition and torture. Will they stand up to Bush? Or back down? If they back down, will it be becausae they're all in on it? I have read some extremely deferential language from an EU government functionary suggesting that his country will role over, whimper and play dead.

It will be interesting to see how Europe responds to CondiBush's rather brutal 'diplomacy' in the matter of secret flights, rendition and torture. I wonder whether European governments are implicated and compromised to a degree that will cause them to shut up as instructed. Can Condi tell them, with impunity, to buzz off because she knows that they know that she knows...they're all in on it? (I have heard some remarkably deferential language from at least one European functionary which suggested that his government was going to role over, whimper and play dead.)
