There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile...........................

Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright

I know he didn't pen that strip, but thanks for posting it.

I'm not sure why I seem to want to give mojo to Ghoulish Delight all the time, but really ... it's not (just) because he's a good kisser.

How many of these guys have to say the same thing before people realized that they were mislead by this administration.

Quote:

The former CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East until last year has accused the Bush administration of "cherry-picking" intelligence on Iraq to justify a decision it had already reached to go to war, and of ignoring warnings that the country could easily fall into violence and chaos after an invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Paul R. Pillar, who was the national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia from 2000 to 2005, acknowledges the U.S. intelligence agencies' mistakes in concluding that Hussein's government possessed weapons of mass destruction. But he said those misjudgments did not drive the administration's decision to invade.

"Official intelligence on Iraqi weapons programs was flawed, but even with its flaws, it was not what led to the war," Pillar wrote in the upcoming issue of the journal Foreign Affairs. Instead, he asserted, the administration "went to war without requesting -- and evidently without being influenced by -- any strategic-level intelligence assessments on any aspect of Iraq.

I assume that it is only a matter of hours before we are informed by the administration how awful and untrustworthy a person he is.

And don't forget that he's endangering the security of our nation by revealing this.

It looks like good-ol boy Mr. Bush has once again lead us into a no-win situation in the Mideast, this time it's Iran and nuclear weapons.

I think the president of Iraq goes to bed a night praying to Alla that the US or Israel bombs Iran. What better way to garner world wide support than to have the US start a war of aggression against a peaceful muslim country that's just trying to give it's citizens the same lifestyle that the west has enjoyed for so long? (You know that's how the world press will spin this)

On the other hand if we don't attack, they get the bomb. Oh boy.

Yea Bush.

I'm wondering why it took over 24 hours for us to find out about Dick "Bang Bang" Cheney's hunting accident.

Moonliner · 02-16-2006, 08:24 AM

Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, told a grand jury he was "authorized by his superiors" to disclose classified information.

Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that an executive order gives him the authority to declassify secret documents

Hummm, it certainly looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, I wonder...
