How will it end, if it ever ends?
Yesterday both Cheney and Bush spoke to their respective minions about the endless war on terror, trying yet again to terrify the public into accepting bloodshed and violence for the sake of liberty and freedom. That logic escapes me.
A recent article by Brian Turner in the New York Times, titled "Requiem for the Last American Soldier to Die in Iraq," put it this way: "Who can say where that last soldier is now, at this very moment? . . . Could that last soldier be in front of a video camera in Hollister right now, recording a final message in case she doesn’t make it back, making a videotape for a child who will never know its own mother? What will the name be? Anthony. Lynette. Fernando. Paula. Joshua. Letitia. Roger… Who will carve it in stone and who will leave flowers there as the years pass by? Who will remember this soldier and what will those memories be? Does he have brothers and sisters? Will his father sink into the grass in the backyard when he is told the news? Will his mother stare into the street with eyes gone hollow and vacant, the cars passing each day with their polished enamel reflecting the sunlight? What will the officer say when he knocks on that door?"
How do the members of the Bush Crime Family sleep at night, knowing their children and loved ones are safe and cozy while they send others to kill and die for an illegal war that nobody wants or believes in, other than their war-profiteering cronies and oil company barons?
We'll talk about this and the other news of the week on the program tonight.

From Mike Malloy's site
Terror terror everywhere and no duct tape in sight!
Loose nukes! Al Qaeda in Germany and (gasp) Denmark! And it's almost 9-11! 9-11! 9-11! We must always be terrified by 9-11! 9-11! 9-11!
But it seems that the biggest terrorist threat we face today comes from the executive branch itself.
With today's terror-filled newscasts, Dick Cheney's former legal counsel and current chief of staff, David Addington, must be drooling in anticipation of mushroom clouds over Detroit and mass radiation poisoning in Phoenix. According to a new book, "The Terror Presidency,” when cautioned by the author – then a Justice Department lawyer - about the legality of the NSA eavesdropping program and that such action was a potential violation of the FISA court, Addington tried to silence him with visions of another 9-11: “We’re one bomb away from getting rid of that obnoxious [FISA] court," he sneered.
Salon.com put it this way: "During his tenure, Goldsmith discovered numerous legal positions which the administration had adopted that he found baseless and even unconscionable -- from torture to detention powers to illegal surveillance -- and he repudiated many of them, thereby repeatedly infuriating the most powerful White House officials, led by Cheney top aide David Addington. Addington views the Next Terrorist Attack as the golden opportunity to seize yet more power. Sitting around the White House dreaming of all the great new powers they will have once the new terrorist attack occurs -- as Addington was doing -- is nothing short of deranged."
In a separate incident when Goldsmith questioned administration authority to violate the 4th amendment, Addington again angrily accused him of complicity in a terrorist plot: “If you rule that way, the blood of the hundred thousand people who die in the next attack will be on your hands.”
Wow! So Cheney found himself a senior advisor with as voracious an appetite for death and destruction as he has. Lynne must be so jealous . . . .
So, we flip on the TV today to discover an alleged massive al Qeada terror plot in Germany, and loose nuclear weapons flying over middle America. With 9-11! 9-11! 9-11! just a few days away - as well as the Petraeus report on Iraq - could this all be mere coincidence? Or is it gleeful anticipation?
We'll discuss the latest Bush Crime Family fear mongering tonight.
