Let's see. What can we spin up today? Heard anything like this before:
IT’S ONE of the worst, if not the worst situation - human rights abuse - situation in the world today, said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., who held hearings on the camps last year. There are very few places that could compete with the level of depravity, the harshness of this regime in North Korea toward its own people.
Now Bush has what he claims in an "isolationist" policy toward North Korea. Which means, basically that he is ignoring the country that openly does have a noocular capability and seems poised and itching to use it if confronted.
I'm comforted in the knowledge that Bush certainly has this nation's priorities in the right order.
It seems there is a bit of a flap brewing at the BBC over the whole Jessica Lynch rescue.
Allegations of a kind of "Wag the Dog" theatrics are being leveled at the military.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Any charge that the U.S. military misrepresented the facts of Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch's rescue April 1 from an Iraqi hospital to make the mission appear more dramatic or heroic is "void of all facts and absolutely ridiculous" the Pentagon said Monday.
In my experience the military has always been a kind of strictly autonomous no-nonsense entity that follows a "mission" in all seriousness. I can't see the troops out there in the field loading blanks into their weapons.
The part of this story that I found more than a little humorous was a quote later on in the story:
A week later, acting on intelligence information, U.S. Special Forces led a team of Marines, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs and airmen went into the hospital to rescue Lynch.
Oh yeah? They located Jessica via army intelligence information? Don't they realize just how ludicrous this statement sounds right about now!
This is priceless as well:
President Bush said the United States is slowly but surely dismantling al-Qaida despite a wave of attacks in Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Israel.
Sorry this is just too stupid the comment on.
And finally in the news: Science Confirms: Politicians Lie
I guess its official then:
In a study described in Britain's Observer newspaper, Glen Newey, a political scientist at Britain's University of Strathclyde, concluded that lying is an important part of politics in the modern democracy.
"Politicians need to be more honest about lying," he told the newspaper.
Newey said lying by politicians can occasionally be entirely justified, such as when national security is at risk, and the public even has a "right to be lied to" in cases where they do not expect to be told the whole truth, such as during a war.
Can anyone believe this?
