SHITASTIC!

by Malik Isasis



















Shit’tas’tik, adjective, the exact opposite of fantastic, an observation typically delivered in an acerbic manner: President George W. Bush is shitastic.

Senator John McCaine, Republican, visited Baghdad earlier this week to prove that he has lost his fucking mind. Actually, McCaine was searching for his soul but his soul isn't in Iraq. It's up Bush's ass, where his lips have been for over the past four years.

“There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today,” McCaine stated to CNN’s anchor, Wolf Blitzer. With some salt and pepper, McCaine ate his words with a little crow the following day. “Well, I’m not saying they could go without protection. The President goes around America with protection. So, certainly I didn’t say that.” I suppose in an attempt to save face, McCaine wanted to go out and take a stroll down the safe, and serine streets of Baghdad just to show how safe the streets of Baghdad really are, after all we are not getting the “full picture” of the progress.

McCaine wore a protective vest but no protective head gear, instead he wore an Arizona baseball cap to emphasize the safety. Helicopter gunships hovered above, and hundreds of soldiers escorted him through Baghdad’s largest market.

"Things are better and there are encouraging signs. I've been here . . . many times over the years. Never have I been able to drive from the airport, never have I been able go out into the city as I was today," He said.

Just in February, 137 people were killed in the market.

McCaine looked like a clown, an old man whose lost touch with reality; what an absolute fool.

The Iraq Occupation is shitastic, and McCaine looks at this pile of shit that Bush has heaped on the Iraqi people and calls it 'progress.'

His delusion, is complete.

Here is the true Iraq, just 24 hours after McCaine's circus:

Baghdad - A newborn baby was one of at least 14 children and adults killed when a suicide bomber detonated a lorry laden with explosives close to a primary school in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk yesterday.

The latest massacre of Iraqi children came as 21 Shia market workers were ambushed, bound and shot dead north of the capital. The victims came from the Baghdad market visited the previous day by John McCain, the US presidential candidate, who said that an American security plan in the capital was starting to show signs of progress.

The Kirkuk bloodshed erupted when a bomber driving a truck full of explosives hidden by sacks of flour targeted an Iraqi police station that US soldiers were visiting. The full force of the blast hit a nearby primary school.

Buthayna Mahmud, 10, was horrified to see the bodies of her classmates strewn on the ground in flames. "Everyone I saw was wearing the blue school uniform drenched with blood. Some of their dresses were torn. I only saw fire. I heard teachers and students shouting," she said. "When we rushed out of the school, we saw pupils on the ground, some of them burning."

Neocons and the Iranian Situation

The Iranian government released the 15 captured sailors and marines. Cooler heads have prevailed. However, the neocons have unleashed their putrid punditry against Tony Blair’s decision to talk rather than war with Iran. The neocons are also upset that a disappeared high-level Iranian official was part of the exchange.

The shitastic State-run Fox News is all but calling for war with Iran. Watch what they say; they are beta-testers for Bush's propaganda. It is clear that they believe talking to others is a sign of weakness.

Their ability to bamboozle the American people died with Hurricane Katrina and their loss in November 2006 election, however, mangled and a mouth full of maggots, their political dead corpses still charge forward.

Bush Out of Line in Scolding Pelosi

by Ivan Eland, Consortium News





















President Bush has scolded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for visiting Syria. In the President’s opinion, shared by others, the U.S. government should speak with just one voice overseas. Yet that view flies in the face of both the text and the spirit of the Constitution.

Before the rise of the post–World War II imperial presidency, the powers among the branches of the U.S. government were much more balanced—as the Constitution originally intended.

In fact, suspicious of European monarchs’ propensity to wage war with the blood and treasure of their citizens, the Constitution’s framers actually gave more powers in foreign affairs to the Congress than the President...read on.
