2. CNN was hammering this story on A.M.

There's no way for the MediaCos to dress this up to look good for Bush.

Anyone else notice that when a government dept. has to revise numbers in a highly-touted report, it's always to correct figures which initially looked better for the Administration?

You never hear, "Oh, we messed up our unemployment figures last month. The unemployment rate is actually 5.8%, not 6.0% as previously reported." It's always the other way around.

Lie loudly, and retract quietly.

4. I was channel surfing last night and stopped on Faux news for a brief

stop to see what they were saying.

First, it is the medias fault for not reporting on the good news of the economy. (I found that funny that the media could make people feel better off then they really are! Hey, I am unemployed but if CNN says things are booming, they must be booming). I guess they are pissed at the media for not lying enough about how good you have it. It reminds me of the days during the Cold War when you would see people standing in bread lines with propaganda placed all over the place about "how good things are".

They were pissed because all of the coverage has been Iraq. My thoughts are Bush wanted to run on being a "war pResident" and he is getting what he asked for, war coverage. To bad for him we are getting to see how screwed up everything is.

It is all to funny.

7. Don't see it on cnn website but the poll is interesting "Can Saudi Arabia

be trusted in the WOT?" 90% No, nearly a quarter mil votes...

[tandot]

8. Bush is STILL trusting his Saudi friends...

while most of his supporters don't.

How many Republicans will jump the ship?

9. Good! I just saw this Reuters blurb- they doubled the number

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration on Tuesday will say terrorism killed 625 people in 2003, more than double the 307 deaths it cited in a faulty report used to argue it is winning the war on terrorism, a U.S. official said.
The revisions to the April "Patterns of Global Terrorism" report have embarrassed the Bush administration and dented its argument that Washington is prevailing in the war on terrorism, a key part of President Bush's re-election strategy.

10. Ukraine's Missing Missiles: Jane's Information Group Online

http://www.janes.com/security/international_security/news/jid/jid040617_1_n.shtml

Ukraine's missing missiles:

Since March, Ukraine's defence minister, Yevhen Marchuk, has been searching for missing missiles and other weapons that could have fallen into terrorist hands or been sold to rogue states. JID investigates why this potentially catastrophic situation is only now being brought to light.

When Marchuk became defence minister in June 2003 he ordered two inventories that indicated US$170m of military stock was probably missing. These results were so shocking that Marchuk ordered a new team of investigators to conduct an additional check using different methods. They uncovered that additional equipment, worth $20m, was missing.

The sheer scale of what appears to be missing equipment is astounding, as demonstrated by just one example. In 1990-1991, on the eve of the break up of the Soviet Union, 1,942 S-185 rockets were delivered to the Zhytomir military base, west of Kiev. These rockets were to be dismantled.

In fact, only 488 of the 1,942 rockets can actually be accounted for. The missiles could have been sold to unknown groups or countries. Or their scrap metal, gold, platinum and silver could have been sold separately with the proceeds being transferred to offshore accounts.

"We are looking for several hundred missiles. They have already been decommissioned, but we cannot find them," complained Marchuk.

11. How long?

How long will the media whores sit there, staring at reality, before they begin to talk about it? How long will they continue to prattle on about minutiae while ignoring the blatant incompetence and corruption right before their eyes?

12. So maybe it isn't "Indisputable" that the world is safer without Saddam?

Another LIE that we let them get away with continuously. It certainly is not "Indisputable". In fact by this very report it is very apparent that the world is not a safer place.

13. Jon Stewart, like always, to the point: WAR ON ERROR.

Must watch (or re-watch)... puts things in perspective.
