Good Morning.

Today is our 1,909th day in Iraq.

We'll start this morning as we always do, with the latest casualty figures from the warron terra, courtesy of Antiwar.com:

American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4086
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 3947
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3625
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3227
Since Election (1/31/05): 2649

Other Coalition Troops: 312
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 510


We find this morning's cost of war passing through $ 525, 093, 000, 000 .00




In Iraq this morning, we've lost another member of the coalition. Australian troops ended combat operations on June 1 and are heading home. Australian troops are among the finest in the world, and we have a fine history with them, working side by side to defeat Imperial Japan 65 years ago. If they're giving up and going home now...

BAGHDAD - Australia ended its combat operations in southern Iraq on Sunday, while the Iraqi government said it has differences with the United States in negotiations over a long-term security agreement.

The official statement by government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh comes amid growing opposition to the deal among Iraqis who see it as a possible violation of Iraq's sovereignty and are worried about an extended presence of American troops.

Talks "are still in their early stages and the Iraqi side has a vision and a draft that is different" from those being presented by U.S. negotiators, al-Dabbagh said.

He was not more specific about the points but insisted the Iraqi government was focused on "fully preserving the sovereignty of Iraq ... and will not accept any article that infringes on this sovereignty and doesn't guarantee the interests of Iraqis."
*snip*
The U.S. military, meanwhile, faced a dwindling coalition of allied countries providing supporting combat troops in Iraq.

Troops held a ceremony Sunday that included lowering the Australian flag from its position and raising the American flag instead over Camp Terendak in the southern Iraq city of Nasiriyah.

"We have to praise the role of the Australian troops in stabilizing the security situation in the province through their checkpoints on the outskirts of the city," said Aziz Kadim Alway, the governor of the Dhi Qar province.

The Iraqi government already has assumed security responsibilities for the Shiite-dominated province, which includes the volatile city of Nasiriyah. But the Australians remained there to help if necessary while also training Iraqi security forces and doing reconstruction and aid work.

The U.S. military said American troops would temporarily take over those responsibilities.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was swept into office in November largely on the promise that he would bring home the country's 550 combat troops by the middle of 2008, saying the Iraq deployment has made Australia more of a target for terrorism.




Turning now to our friends at IAVA, it appears that the historic new GI Bill has now passed the Senate (75-22, on May 22) and lo, these many days later is still sitting on the "President's" desk awaiting signature. He's going to have to do something with it, so won't you please add your voice?

NEW YORK - Today, by an overwhelming 75-22 margin, the Senate passed the "Post-9/11 GI Bill" as part of the war supplemental funding bill. This bipartisan legislation, originally introduced by Senators Jim Webb (D-VA), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and John Warner (R-VA), is whole-heartedly endorsed by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation's first and largest nonpartisan Iraq veterans' organization, and all the leading Veterans Service Organizations. See how every Senator voted here.

"This is a historic victory for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. After World War II, America made sure our troops coming home had the chance to go to college," said Paul Rieckhoff, Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "With Memorial Day just around the corner, our lawmakers renewed that promise and honored those who bravely serve this country."

Once the House and Senate versions of this legislation are reconciled, the next step is the President's desk. Despite broad support for the GI Bill, the president has threatened a veto of the entire emergency supplemental package, of which the GI Bill is a part.

"In passing this new GI Bill, the Senate and the House put partisan bickering aside to support the troops. When the politicians return to Washington after honoring our troops and veterans this Memorial Day, the President has the chance to prove whether he is with veterans or against them."

For months, IAVA members from across the country have been urging their lawmakers to move this crucial legislation forward. Thousands of supporters made phone calls and signed a petition calling for the passage of the new GI Bill. For more information about the fight for a modern GI Bill, please visit www.GIBill2008.org.



Of course, one of those "Nays" was from Presidential Candidate John McCain...
More than a few people have been puzzled by U.S. Sen. John McCain's dogged opposition to the updated GI Bill of Rights now before Congress. The dissonance between McCain's military-man image and his actions on this issue have introduced a jarring note to his presidential aspirations -- and have highlighted the shoddy treatment many Iraq war veterans have received.

Why would a Vietnam War veteran and former prisoner of war, a man who is personally acquainted with the difficulties vets can face in returning to civilian life, join President Bush in opposing a popular bipartisan bill to support the troops? Isn't fixing the education benefit in the bill -- one that has shortchanged far too many veterans for years -- a political no-brainer in an election year? The 75 senators who recently voted for it certainly thought so. Over the Memorial Day weekend, Sen. Barack Obama expressed some well-timed astonishment at McCain's opposition, and the two have been feuding about it since. The media and pundits seem perplexed, collectively suggesting: That's not the John McCain we know.
.

It sure is interesting to read his campaign website, isn't it?
America owes its liberty, its prosperity, and its future to our veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great country. John McCain has fought to honor our national commitment to our veterans who have given their careers and livelihoods to ensuring our freedom. He believes we must provide for service members and their families while they serve, we must help those who return from combat to adjust to civilian life, and we must honor and never forget the service of those who do not return.

John McCain has been a leader in Congress, fighting for all those who serve and their families, improving veterans' health care, providing veterans with the benefits they have earned, easing their transition to civilian life, and honoring the fallen.

John McCain believes that meeting the needs of our service members who defend us is our obligation and is essential to our national security. He worked to increase pay scales for servicemen and women during both the Persian Gulf War and the current War on Terror and to increase enlistment and reenlistment bonuses for reservists and guardsmen. He also sponsored bills to give special tax relief to deployed service members and to set up overseas savings programs for the men and women fighting in the Gulf War.


Hypocrisy, thy name is "Republican".

As always, great Ask A Vet segment Tri. I'm a little confused about the funding bill. You say it's on the pResident's desk awaiting signature, but the article says the House and Senate versions need to be reconciled. I thought that reconcilliation needed to happen first.



Anyway - Bush needs to decide if he wants to veto it and see his veto overridden, or ignore the bill and have it pass by proxy.

Random - I mght want to change my brackets on the states. I was assuming you meant a difference in pledged delegates, since we've been talking about delegates all this time. Did you mean difference in percentage of the popular vote?



If so, I would like to change mine as follows:

MT: Obama by 7-10 points

SD: Clinton by 11-15 points



Comment by Scoopster on 06/03/2008 12:55:51
Morning all! News from the homefront - I should be planting my "tomato" seedlings outdoors tomorrow, or Thursday if it's raining too hard. Would've like to keep them indoors but there's no room left with my landlord's bonsai trees taking up all the damn space!



Oooh.. a bloggie pool eh? Lemme play! I'll take 20+ Supers, Montana by 9 for Obama and SD by 2 for Clinton. It might be a long night though before the supers really start coming out, with the time difference to Montana being the reason.

Comment by Random on 06/03/2008 12:58:08

Off to two doctors' appointments this morning - ugh I'm too tired to care anymore, but I started a post last night called "It's the Delegates (Not the Poplular Vote), Stupidos," but I just didn't have the heart to finish it. Honestly, I hope that Hillary backers come to their senses and realize the damage a McCain presidency would do to not only our country but also our world/planet. BTB, Random - try not to get old - it sucks (but maybe it beats the alternative - just maybe). That's all I got today. Carry on, you excellent crew, you :D

And I really need to stop being up past 3 AM.

Comment by Raine on 06/03/2008 14:05:30
This is a surprise to me.



Wes Clark stopped out in Texas yesterday to drop by a fundraiser Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius headlined for Michael Skelly, a Democrat running for congress in Texas.



Clark introduced Sebelius and, according to a regular correspondent and reliable source who was there, said:



"The London odds-makers say that Kathleen Sebelius is the odds-on favorite to be the next vice

president. I can tell you, she'd make a great vice presidential choice."




Yes, the same Wes Clarke that was considered a VP candidate for HRC.

OK, I am going to do my delegate pick for the pool. I will say 11-15 today because I still think most will wait until after tonight's results to announce. Once Obama reaches the 2118 threshold expect the SD floodgates to open so that people can finally put this to bed. It will also be at that point when Hillary suspends her campaign since at least she if not her enablers like McAuliffe and Ickes recognizes that fact. Those two will probably still find a way to pee into the pool.

OH hey - Jim's bit about McSame just reminded me of something.



Talked to my uber-Republican-born-again-Christian-Messianic Jewish Aunt this weekend. We only touched on politics, like we usually do. Just from what she said McSame as a problem with evangelicals in a big way I think. She said she didn't like McCain, he changes his positions too much, she couldn't see herself voting for him. Now granted she said she wouldn't vote for Hills either. And she's really looking into Obama with some interest. But she's not sure who she's going to be voting for yet.

Hey Liv have you ever check to see if you power company has some kind of budget plan? Something where your bill doesn't jump all over the place?





I lived on the second floor before, and my place is 2 stories, I still just open the windows until the humility gets too much for me to deal with.

Hey Liv have you ever check to see if you power company has some kind of budget plan? Something where your bill doesn't jump all over the place?





I lived on the second floor before, and my place is 2 stories, I still just open the windows until the humility gets too much for me to deal with.



I am one of those. I still pay over $100/month. I think Long Island has either the highest or second highest utility bills in the country which goes back to when LILCO kept jacking up the rates to fund the Shoreham Nuclear Plant (now dismantled).

pfff. IT is the deep south sistah! It get's REALLY hot in the afternoons!





I lived in the NC for a long while - I know of the hot, humid afternoons, trust me - still we just didn't turn on the AC unless we absolutly had too. It was a money thing when I was a kid and teen. Now it's just a challenge.

For an apartment - jeez, those rates are high, I pay a little over 100 for a townhouse and that includes the time I had the busted PVC pipe and the Christmas and Halloween lights I put up every year.



Sounds like another reason to really considering move to a place where cost of living is less crazy.

I honestly don't know that they can. It worries me deeply.



Another question - would they be more likely to reconcile - period - if Clinton is on the ticket? Half the Dem Party is going to be pretty pissed this week.



I've periodically posted an open question to the hard-line HRC supporters where I blog - and I do plan to quote their prior responses when they throw their Kyle tatrums...



Of course, they will find a justification that has occurred since their prior responses. It is frustrating.

So Nader has to run on his own. He does have as his running mate, the Green candidate for mayor of San Francisco but with the ballot access laws, he may have trouble getting on the ballot in most states without a ton of money.

Comment by BobR on 06/03/2008 14:51:31
When the Congress was Republican, we needed a tough Dem president. With the congress being Dem, we don't really need a "tough" candidate, we need one that can inspire people to greatness and to do the right thing.

I find it incomprehensive that a feminist would permit Roe v Wade to be overturned. Republicans since at least Bush Sr. have tried to eat into laws and policies that allow women some measure of equality with men.

The only thing I believe women are "entitled" to is to be treated fairly and equally. Entitlement does not extend to being elected President simply because you're a woman.

Comment by Raine on 06/03/2008 15:43:45
Ok, here is my take on this entire morning:

First:

McAuliffe on NBC this morning stating it was over and that it would not be going further.

Then:

The AP reporting that Clinton would concede Obama's win.

Now:

McAuliffe is back in the news saying that's all wrong, that it's not over.



My assumption: The HRC campaign is in Chaos, and doesn't know what message to go with. The Staff is out of control, and is in the last gasps of desperation. If Hillary Clinton wants to be a leader, she NEEDS to show leadership NOW.



Now.

Quote by Raine:

Why do Feminists want Roe. v. Wade overturned?



Seriously, Senator Clinton NEEDS to ask people not to do this. This is something she CAN do, and should do. For the good of women's rights.




I find it incomprehensive that a feminist would permit Roe v Wade to be overturned. Republicans since at least Bush Sr. have tried to eat into laws and policies that allow women some measure of equality with men.

The only thing I believe women are "entitled" to is to be treated fairly and equally. Entitlement does not extend to being elected President simply because you're a woman.

Please someone stop me from ranting . . .

You picked the wrong place to stop you from ranting.



I totally agree with you!

This kind of chaos is not acceptable, imo.



Now, I will go one step further... I think the media is actually DOING it's job. They are reporting. I see the HRC campaign as trying to squelch it. if we want media to do it's job, we need to watch BOTH sides.

Extra work only - no lines. No chance of SAG from this so far as I know.



Minimum wage, but - hey! I'll take it! And as long as I stay under 40 hours for the week, it won't affect my unemployment.

To give the Clinton campaign the benefit of the doubt for a moment . . . in a 24/7 news world, some things are reported too fast without sufficient confirmation. Also it has something to do with how you interpret the word 'concede'. A lot of people see the word as giving up to your opponent and Hillary's not going to do that. She will acknowledge that Obama has the numbers for the nomination.



Unfortunately, I didn't hear all that Terry A. said but I did hear his tone.

Woohoo!



Awesome!!



Make sure you get a SAG card from this.. Might lead to more work! ;)




Extra work only - no lines. No chance of SAG from this so far as I know.



Minimum wage, but - hey! I'll take it! And as long as I stay under 40 hours for the week, it won't affect my unemployment.





Bring a book to read. It's all hurry up and wait, atleast that was my experience.





BTDT - I did one of these gigs a while back. Got my book, my mp3 player and a notebook.



I've been warned we may be there for as long as 14 hours two days in a row.

Heya Liv,

Glad to know that you've got some time off. Doctors' Report: they upped my meds, and are gonna make me sleep with a mosheen (I have sleep apnea). Not sure how my doggies will react to their momma being tethered to a machine all night long, but they'll have to get used to it, as will I. And I got a B12 shot in my butt and I feels much betters How's everybody else doing today? I'm sorry I was so out of it this morning that I couldn't play the pool/poll. I am starting to feel bad for the Hillary supporters, so she better damn well concede tonight, cause I ain't wasting this sympathy on nothing

Cheers,

mfaye

Yes, we are hoping she accepts us as her new family. Everyday she get's a little more comfy. Bob and I decided to give it a little while to see if we all fit together. She came on Saturday. She finally ate last night.



She is such a good dog. And yes, camille is giving stank eye. For no reason at all. Kizzie just lays on the big chair, all the time.

Craigslist.



Her foster Mom is looking for a home for her. Her original parents are having a baby and just didn't have the time I guess, so they gave her to foster mom. Kizzy, we are told, seemed VERY unhappy in that home -- kids and other dogs, so she was put up for adoption. She doesn't like a lot of crazyness, she is a mellow dog.



Kizzie (or Izzy as I seem to keep calling her) is really shy, and just seems to need a forever home. She is only about 3 years old. I am hoping this works out for all of us.



Camille actually walked past her today...

Raine and Bob! Great doggie.



Kizzie is almost a reincarnation of a dog I had named 'Buck'. Lived for 17 years! I'll try to dig up a picture, but he was a dog I had when I lived with my parents; I must have been 12 or so when I got him. Great dog he was.



I'm sure Kizzie will get not so shy after she gets acclimated. Dogs have separation anxiety just like we humans can get!

I think there are a lot of calls being made behind the scenes right now. NOTHING on the TV machine about the campaign stumps from EITHER campaign. There are NO spinners for HRC to be heard at all on the msnbc, either. McCauliffe is suddenly VERY quiet. I expected to see him after the big denial...



Nada, zero, zip.



I did here that Obama will be having a fundraiser in NY on Wednesday night. (things that make you go hmmmm....)



So, what I am thinking is that the AP was right on point, and the HRC campaign is trying to figure out what to do. McCauliffe and HRC wanted to leave on their own terms but were trumped by the media.



Obama is going to sit back and wait, let them have the chance to make it look like it was their choice. (it is politics after all)

McAuliffe is back in the news saying that's all wrong, that it's not over.



My assumption: The HRC campaign is in Chaos, and doesn't know what message to go with. The Staff is out of control, and is in the last gasps of desperation. If Hillary Clinton wants to be a leader, she NEEDS to show leadership NOW.

Just occurred to me.



Yeah, it was the '04 World Series and they were interviewing players because of the big build up "OMG! The Sox are playing the YANKS to go the series, blah, blah..." And, it was really exciting! But, the players were like "Yeah, we don't really think about that. We just play ball. "

And, how many times have you seen baseball players chatting each other up while one of 'em is standing on 1st base. These guys don't hate each other as much as the fans do.



And, Hils and Obama don't either!

Cheers,

THE LAST DEBATE

by Maureen Dowd



“What do you want? Please, Sweetie, would you just tell me what you want?”



“Don’t Sweetie me, Twiggy. You know what I want.”



“Besides that, Hillary. Seriously, you don’t want your delusion to put John McCain in the White House. Or maybe you do. You have no shot. I’m 60 delegates away from nomination nirvana. You should stop stalking me. I come down to Florida for a victory lap and you follow me down here and call for a recount. Look what that did for Al Gore. If you show a shred of common sense and take a powder now, the party will put you on a pedestal.”



“Pedestals are for losers. You’re on a pedestal. I’ve never been a loser. I refuse to lose. I won the West Virginia and Kentucky derbies, and I’m not going to end up like Eight Belles.”



“Hillary, you’ve been a great candidate, better than your train-wreck campaign. You’re Churchillian in your indomitable tenacity. You’ve inspired women all over the country. In fact, you’ve inspired some of them to hate me. But now it’s time for you to try to muster a gracious exit.”



“Forget it, Bones. Once Harold Ickes works his dark magic on the delegate rules to count Michigan and Florida, I’ll have the popular vote. And then the superdelegates will grovel back. They know in their hearts that they don’t want to go on a blind date with a guy who’s going to be BFF with Cuba, Hamas, Iran and retired Weathermen. You can bet your white turban that I’m not raising the white flag.”



“Like hell you aren’t, sister.”



“Sexist!”



“Racist!”



“Speaking of whites, you can’t win without them. And if you think your Secretary of Hairdressing, John Edwards, is going to help, you’re more delusional than I am.”



“Hillary, when are you going to realize that these whites you consider your pawns are so sick of the Republicans that they’re going to vote for anybody who has the ‘D’ next to their name, and it’s going to be me. So cool it with the White Fright. Now what do you want? Debt relief?”



“Bill and I don’t need your Netroots arugula moolah. We don’t need your stinking $20 donors. We’ve got Burkle, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis and Kazakh uranium loot on tap.”



“Settle down, Hillary. What if I let you write the health care plank in the party platform?”



“Wow, you’re so-o-o generous. Can I also write the plank on switchgrass?”



“I switched from grass a long time ago.”



“Listen, rookie, we’re gonna have to share this thing.”



“Fine, you can have the 3 a.m. shift on the White House switchboard.”



“Oh, you’re so witty with all your stupid rallies with 75,000 people and spending $100 million on ads to promote one puny word: Change. I’ve made sacrifices in this campaign. While you’ve been fake-eating and losing weight, I’ve had to stuff myself with all that greasy working-class junk food and chase it with Boilermakers.”



“What about me? I’ve come from nowhere, with a single mother on food stamps and a funny name.”



“Oh, you’re so inspiring. For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.”



“Don’t mock Michelle. I would be polite and ask you to be my vice president, but you’d accept, just the same way Lyndon Johnson sandbagged Bobby Kennedy, so I can’t. You and Bill are just too much drama for me. Bill is off-the-charts crazy.”



“Tell me about it. But he’d be way over on Massachusetts Avenue, a completely different ZIP code than the White House. And Cheney built that underground bunker there, so we’d always have someplace to stash him. If you don’t put me on the ticket, I’ll signal my faithful to vote for John McCain. He’s more fun than you, anyhow.”



“Hillary, I don’t trust you. And Michelle hates your guts. Look, the Senate is a wonderful place. I enjoyed my two months there. You’ve never made the most of the experience because you were so busy using it as a launching pad.”



“Back at ya, Skeletor.”



“Can you stop talking, Hillary? Is that even possible?”



“No, I won’t, Mr. Never-Convened-Your-European-Affairs-Subcommittee. I don’t want to go back. It’s boring. And why should I work with all those self-hating, so-called feminists who stabbed me in the back, like Claire McCaskill and Amy Klobuchar?”



“Look, Hillary, a few years back in the Senate helping me move my world-changing agenda will help you repair some of those relationships. In Barack Obama’s Washington, there will be no more game-playing, mud-slinging or back-stabbing.”



“Hey, Señor Appeaser, there’s another primary in 2012. Bill and I are already gearing up for it.”



“You’re not likeable enough, Hillary.”

Starling,

I'd have to go back into the archives and check, but I think I did mention this MoDo piece in response to an equally entertaining piece that Raine shared. BTB, I am such a goofy romantic that I've saved both messages that the loverly RB left on my mosheen at home - am I crazy???

Cheers,
