We paid a price...
Author: Raine    Date: 05/01/2008 12:14:47

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of "Mission Accomplished". On this day, pResident *ush announced, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," Bush said at the time. "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." [source]

As you know, every Tuesday we have a blog here called Ask a Vet, and the numbers tell us what a lie this was. Yesterday, the White house said they paid a price for that fateful day. 'What?' you say? They admitted a mistake? Why YES!
They Paid the Price...
After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the "Mission Accomplished" message. He said the White House had nothing to do with the banner; a spokesman later said the ship's crew asked for the sign and the White House staff had it made by a private vendor.

"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said `mission accomplished' for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission," White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. "And we have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year."

She said what is important now is "how the president would describe the fight today. It's been a very tough month in Iraq, but we are taking the fight to the enemy."

At least 49 U.S. troops died in Iraq in April, making it the deadliest month since September when 65 U.S. troops died.
The media SHOULD play this up. They should have played it up years ago. Problem was, the media was too busy cheerleading for this illegal war.

If, according to Dana Perino, how we describe the fight today is so important, then what have all those descriptions we have had over the past 5 years been?

Where those soldiers who died for a mistake any more or less important? First, we had to get al Qaeda, during a time when bush was conflating 911™ and Iraq, then it was for WMD's and so we had to kill Saddaam Hussein, then it was insurgents, then it was for stability, a few times it was actually stated that it was for the oil, then the insurgency became al Qaeda in Iraq, or something like that.... the reason(s) for this have changed so many times I cannot even begin to keep track, nor do I really wish to. However, ALWAYS, we are told that victory must be achieved.

And yet we never get that definition. Instead, we get an endless list of how the president would DESCRIBE this war. Each time more troops and innocent civilians die. There have been hundreds of excuses for so many things that this administration has done, but this one takes the cake. What matters is how the pResident describes the war.

They told this lie before. From Oct. 23, 2003, the pResident said in a press briefing
The "Mission Accomplished" sign, of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished.
So, the only price to pay that is coming from the White house is the fact that they got caught. And still to this day the WH is saying it was the troops fault, even tho the White House paid to have this banner made.

This all may be trivial to you, and I can understand why. However... in this time of life and death for so many people, we need leaders who tell us the truth, who don't point fingers and who take responsibility. We need a media that doesn't cheerlead like a bunch of spectators at a WWE match. We need a media who cares more about our soldiers than a reverend. We need accountability.

Yes a price was paid for Mission accomplished, but I don't think that George W Bush has a clue to what kind of price was paid. HE has never attended one funeral of a fallen soldier. Not one...

America paid a price. The rPresident simply got embarrassed. That isn't a price. That is a minor inconvenience.

Every Tuesday here on our blog is where you can see the REAL price that is paid for Mission Accomplished. It isn't about how we describe the fight, it is about how many people are dying for this needless war.

:peace: and :heart:
Raine

Mornin' Raine (& Others as you arise from your slumber ) :coffee:

Excellent post, fits right in with the entry I posted last night on my blog. We have all heard the drum beat to go to war with Iran. If we think that this unprovoked invasion will turn out any better than the invasion/occupation of Iraq, we are seriously misguided/delusional.



Hope that you have a very Happy May Day - remember that May Poles are NOT for Pole Dancing - :D

Cheers,

mfaye

Who saw that video of Hillary with the average person last night on KO which showed she's clueless about gas prices and apparently has never gotten her own coffee.

Dear LerLeane,



It has come to my attention that you and your friends and kin think that George Bush, or "Your Hero" as you call him, is going to hand you free money. I have heard, in town, that you have said things like "Ain't he the best?" and "I wonder how much manure $600 will buy?"



I would like to set the record straight.



Please read the following:

You do not have to repay the 2008 tax rebate but there will be a line added to the 2008 federal tax forms that will permit you to enter the amount of the rebate your receive in 2008. In other words, when you prepare your 2008 tax returns in 2009, the rebate you received in 2008 will be subtracted. In many ways, this rebate check is not free money from the government, but instead it is an advance on your next tax refund.



LerLeane. LerLeane. LerLeane.

Woops. . . I think your fried Chicken is burning.

Fox has the Largest Prime time news audience? That seems impossible, becuase they don't have news in primetime, they have punditry shows, no? I thought that even if you caount those shows as news, perse, CNN had a larger audience.

From the Larry King CNN transcript:





KING: What about how he's handled the Reverend Wright thing?



MOORE: Well, you know, I don't know, Larry. I mean I think anybody who goes to church knows if -- I mean I just heard Hillary Clinton say there on the -- that other station, O'Reilly.



KING: Right. We're going to show a couple of clips from it, yes. MOORE: Talking about how had, you know, had she heard those things from her pastor, she would have got right up out of the church. (LAUGHTER) and I was thinking, jeez, you know, I mean I go to mass still. I'm a practicing Catholic. I've been that way all my life. But if I had -- if I had gotten up every time I heard a priest from the pulpit in my travels around the country say things like, as I've heard them say, that birth control is a sin, that women should not be priests, that women have a different role in the church...



KING: You'd be walking out all the time.



MOORE: Well, I would have been walking out so much -- that would have been so much aerobic activity for me I...



KING: Yes, but how do you think...



MOORE: ...I wouldn't look like this.



KING: The candidate you're endorsing, how do you think he's handled this?



MOORE: I think he's handled it the best way that he can. I think that, you know, that's my point, how are you going to get -- it's like suddenly I came in with a videotape saying Larry, I've got a video of your rabbi here from 1959...

Later on in that same interview:



KING: Do you think the Reverend Wright thing is over?



MOORE: It's over when cable news decide it's over. And, you know, I mean when -- you know, when these networks come up with something new. I mean I was kind of -- I was enjoying the flag lapel controversy.



By the way, Larry King, where is your flag lapel pin?



I don't -- I don't see it on you.



KING: Where's yours?



MOORE: Well, I'm wearing mine. That's right. It's right -- it's the world's smallest flag lapel pin.



KING: Oh, I see it.



MOORE: You just can't see it.



KING: Microscopic.



MOORE: That's why you don't wear a coat, so you don't have to wear the flag lapel pin.



KING: So you found me out.



MOORE: Yes, that's right.

Good morning everyo.



Livin, I doubt very much that Chris has any need to know anything about the "fun spot" and he always got me down. He brought the show to a screeching halt on many occasions and ruined the humor of Stephanie and Jim. Stephenie really needs to put him in his place - in the control room away from the microphone. Harumpf.



Hillary coming on O'Liely?! My minds eye is spinning. Since Rush and Laura Ingrahm are basically campaigning for her, maybe she'll show up on their shows next. Does everyone now realize that she is a snake in the grass? Don't like her, never liked her. I think she has f*ucked over Barack and the Democratic party more than Rev. Wright.

Superdelegates call for END TO WAR....



This is a good story...
On the fifth anniversary of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier landing, antiwar superdelegates -- supporting Clinton, Obama, or who remain uncommitted -- held a conference call with reporters calling for language to be adopted at August's Democratic convention for ending the Iraq war.



On the conference call, sponsored by the left-leaning group Win Without War, these superdelegates said their purpose is to ensure neither Democrat candidate -- should he/she win the presidency -- wavers on their support for ending the Iraq war fully. Rep. Barbara Lee, an Obama supporter, stressed the importance of the grassroots effort on the part of Democrats to show their support for the presidential candidates' plans to end the war.



"We need to make sure there isn't any fuzzy language," Rep. Jim McGovern, a Clinton supporter, added. "We have to demonstrate the Democratic Party gets it."



The campaign hopes to get more superdelegates to sign a petition for the Democratic National Platform to include a full withdrawal from Iraq with no permanent military bases behind; negotiations in the Middle East, including with the Iranian government, per recommendations by the Iraq Study Group, and an end to torture and closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison.

Rauschenberg sues artist for selling his trash



The American artist Robert Rauschenberg has sued an artist in Florida, claiming violation of his rights under the US Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (VARA).



According to Rauschenberg, in 2007 the defendant, Robert Francis Montgomery of Florida, who also paints under the name of Robert Fontaine, sold works purportedly by Rauschenberg which Rauschenberg did not create, with certificates of authenticity. Rauschenberg alleges that this violated his rights under VARA to protect the attribution of his work.



Montgomery says there was no violation of artists’ rights because Rauschenberg created the disputed work. His lawyer, Yale T. Freeman of Naples, Florida, told The Art Newspaper that Montgomery found a group of “chromes,” or large negatives, in Rauschenberg’s trash in 1998. Although most of them were given away or discarded over the years, “a piece was sold”, Mr Freeman said. He disagrees that this diluted Rauschenberg’s name or prejudiced his reputation, saying: “Why does the lion want to eat the mouse?”

======================================================



MAybe because the LION creates the Art and decides what is his to sell or not.

Week of May 19: Ron Kuby (formerly of WABC)- He used to work with Bill Kunstler's office.


funny how they unceremoniously shit-canned Maron, but yet he's their go-to guy when they're in a pinch...

KEY WORD: MIGHT.



I would rather watch the sammy cam first.



In other news... I am making my homeade Chicken Parm tonite. That includes the homeade sauce. Sorry, I didn't make the bread or the cheez...


I will watch the Sammy Cam until I have to leave for work and then on the drive to work I can flip between WWRL and XM.

It sounds like Raine's dinner alone is worth the trip to Atlanta.

Cheezus crisp... Sydney Blumental?



just a snip:


To cite just one recent example, Blumenthal circulated an article taken from the fervently hard-right AIM website on February 18 entitled, "Obama's Communist Mentor" by Cliff Kincaid. Kincaid is a right-wing writer and activist, a longtime critic of the United Nations, whose group, America's Survival, has been funded by foundations controlled by conservative financier Richard Mellon Scaife, the same millionaire who helped fund attacks on the Clintons during their White House years. Scaife also funds AIM, the right-wing media "watchdog" group.



The Kincaid article that Blumenthal circulated sought to discredit Obama by linking him to an African-American poet and writer whom Obama knew while he was in high school in Hawaii. That writer, Frank Marshall Davis, was, Kincaid wrote, a member of the Communist Party. Supported by no tangible evidence, Kincaid claimed that Obama considered his relationship to Davis to be "almost like a son." In his memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote about meeting, during his teenage years, a writer named "Frank" who "had some modest notoriety once" and with whom he occasionally discussed poetry and politics. From this snippet, Kincaid weaves an incredulous tale that turns Davis into Obama's "mentor."



Kincaid's piece had been previously circulating within the right-wing blogosphere, but Blumenthal sought to inject the story into more respectable opinion circles by amplifying it in his email blast.




Enough. These tactics are just too republican for me. No one deserves the office of president if thier supporters are willing to drop to these levels.

well here we go... Obama suppoerters are eleitists again, according to Bill:

Former President Bill Clinton was in West Virginia on his wife's behalf. In Clarksburg, he called her a scrapper and contrasted her appeal among working-class voters with the elitists he said support Obama.



"The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it's by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules," he said. "In West Virginia and Arkansas, we know that when we see it."

When Dick Cheney was a Congressman in the 80's when he was a supporter of the racist apartheid regime he was one of those weasels saying that Mandela and the ANC were a terrorist organization. I guess old shit never dies.

Rangers are leading 2-0 in the final minute and a half. Looks like we got another game on Sunday (which will be on NBC).
