Excerpts form: Reuters: By Steve Holland (Additional reporting by David Morgan) {04/14/2006}

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two more retired U.S. generals called for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign on Thursday, claiming the chief architect of the
Iraq war and subsequent American occupation should be held accountable for the chaos there.

Six retired generals have now called for Rumsfeld to step down, including two who spoke out on Thursday.

Retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni told CNN Rumsfeld should be held responsible for a series of blunders, starting with "throwing away 10 years worth of planning, plans that had taken into account what we would face in an occupation of Iraq."

But at the White House, the 73-year-old Rumsfeld drew unflinching support. "Yes, the president believes Secretary Rumsfeld is doing a very fine job during a challenging period," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters. Read More

Looks like the Compassionate Conservative's Trickle Down Theory turned into a Gusher or Katrina Flood Exposes United States HIDDEN poor.

Karen Hughes new job is to try and spin this horrible view of the U.S.

WTF - wouldn't it be better to have policies to help people in the 1st place - than to try and Spin the Republican Dirty Laundry.

If they would have only spent the 700 million to shore up the levy - they could have kept them pesky poor people hidden.

KATRINA EFFECT A FIRST TASK

One immediate task for Hughes will be countering the negative effects abroad of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Television images of desperate and mainly black survivors of the storm stranded in danger and squalor in flooded New Orleans fueled perceptions abroad that the United States was a racially divided country in which the government is unconcerned about its poorest citizens.

"People have seen things that no one likes to see," Hughes was quoted as saying in the San Antonia Express-News.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo (Reuters) -
Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan warned on Friday that increased buying power fueled by higher prices for assets like stocks and homes could disappear if investors turn cautious.

Hmmm - people felt like the economy and their own personal income wasn't so bad. Maybe Bush isn't as bad as a pres, as that Kerry guy was portraying.

GreenSpan - Gave the store away - to save Bush.
GreenSpan - what a political hack.

Everyone re-financed, bought their big Suv's , went on vacations, bought all kinds of stuff for their homes - oh we gotta have marble countertops - don't we.

Well the shit is going to hit the fan because when they max out their credit cards next time - re-financing will not be such an attractive option.

Now it just friggin occurs to Greenspan that there is potential froth - ha Read More

Last Sat. (Aug. 13) we were in Tahoe for the Sammy Hagar concert, at a pre concert bbq,,,
Someone was talking about Cindy Sheehan, and to my surprise my girlfriend who opposed the Iraq war from the start, repeated some smear B.S. she heard on fox or CNN, and another woman jumped on the bandwagon.

The other woman started spewing GOP talking points and I figured I would keep my mouth shut and just see how in-informed she was. She spewed that Saddam was another Hitler, Iraq was BEHIND 911, world is a better place because we got Saddam out of power ... ... ...
I only said one thing, Excuse me but it is a proven fact that Iraq was not behind the 911 attacks.

My god - what is going on here ... ... ...

How come, otherwise; intelligent, well educated professionals can believe all these Fox, CNN, GOP talking points?

Is it that because they are authorities - we must put our trust in them?

Because of the 911 tragedy Are we co-dependent, destined to be in denial and remain in a bad relationship for fear of the unknown????
