I feel compelled to find and post the truth every time I hear Our GreatPresident open his mouth which has become synonymous with lying.Thanks again to "granny" for sending us the link for the video.
It didn't take the liberal bloggers and general long public to react and speak outagainst the dems for caving in on the funding bill. And it seems that theybetter grow a set quickly before we start shopping around. Think about this fora moment, you tell your spouse or significant other you are going shopping, butinstead go to a friends house...simple right? umm, NO!, you are confronted bythem and are told you lied. Maybe that's a simple minded analogy, but comparethat to The President of the United States lying on an ongoing basis, changingthe story and then his supporters actually lie further to support him. Wrong,just plain old everyday kindergartenly, fundamentally, unacceptably wrong.
Well lets start this thing....

'Bush Idiot Speech'
Here is a huge list of worth a peak. .
There is just so much more content which could be added to this post, but Ineed to move on from this "consumption" of me.
Does the democrat's (and America's) push for a time frame for our troops toget out of Iraq have anything to do with the Defense Secretary's recent trip toIraq? Either that or the administration all of a sudden decided that the Iraqi'sstepping up to the plate by is important. This might be the"out" Bush was waiting for, or another way to show the Americanpeople he doesn't want us there either. (It seems we have told the Iraqis thisbefore)
— After a day of meetings withIraqi leaders and U.S. military commanders, Secretary of Defense Robert Gatesdeclared the American occupation of Iraq will not continue indefinitely.
Gates suggested the decision on whether to keep extra U.S. forces sent tosecure Baghdad in place will depend in part on whether the Iraqi governmentmakes progress on political reconciliation.
"Our commitment to Iraq is long-term, but it is not a commitment to haveour men and women patrolling Iraqi streets open-endedly," Gates said at ajoint press conference with Iraqi Defense Minister Abd al Qadr al Mufriji.
So, what about all the those successes that are going on in Iraq?
The defense secretary called the surge of an additional 28,000 U.S. forces inIraq now under way "a strategy of buying time" for the Iraqigovernment to make progress on political reconciliation. So far that isnot happening.
What makes this administration think that opposing religious groups and governments inIraq will "get along"? Not only has that been tried before, but letthe record show things are getting worse in Iraq.
Gates said a decision on whether or not to continue that surge past Augustwill be made "late summer" and a key factor in that decision willbe whether the Iraqis have made progress on reconciliation.
In a suggestion of how he will measure that progress, Gates told Iraqi PrimeMinister Nouri al-Maliki that the Iraqi parliament needs to move quickly onpassing long-delayed laws to heal the rifts between Iraq's Shia and SunniMuslims.
Gates also responded to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comment onThursday that "the war is lost."
"I have great respect for Sen. Reid. But on the question of whetherthe war is lost," he said, "I respectfully disagree."
Well of course you have to disagree, if you don't you'll find yourself in the"I don't agree with Bush" fired group.
Worth mentioning: Last night on The Military Channel's "", it was mentioned that KBR (Haliburton) charges $28 a plate during chow time. They put the plates out then count whats left and that's how they determine what to bill the US. The soldiers were saying they sometimes use a plate to cover their food (to keep it warm), KBR counts that as 2 plates. Even if you can argue the $28 for the food, how do they get away with charging by the "plate" inventory? Note: The plates are Styrofoam.
Just about when we could start celebrating the fact that the Pentagon will not renew Halliburton's contract, this kind of story pops up. According to the , Halliburton went to the bank and spent big on a Super Bowl party in Iraq last year. Oh, by the way, you and I paid for it:
Halliburton Co. executives ordered a big-screen television and 10 largetubs of tacos, chicken wings and cheese sticks delivered to Iraq forlast year's Super Bowl, then billed U.S. taxpayers for their party,according to a lawsuit unsealed Friday.
The Houston-basedcompany also defrauded the government by double- and triple-billing forInternet, food and gym services for soldiers, according to the lawsuitby a former employee for KBR, the Halliburton subsidiary that runsdining halls for troops in Iraq.
What is this, the Price is Right? You can't just buy free stuff, especially after millions of dollars since the war began. This isn't arrogance. This is knowing that you can do whatever you want because your is now the Vice President of the United States. ------------------------------------------ Other sites blogging about Halliburton: , , , , , , .
The UK's Serious Fraud Office is investigating a plot by Halliburton, which occurred last decade, to pay $170 million in bribe money in order to get a contract at a Nigerian gas plant.
has more:
The Nigerian bribery allegations arose three years ago, when a formerexecutive of the consortium working on the gas plant told a Frenchjudge the consortium had operated an offshore slush fund to wincontracts since the mid-1990s.
The consortium is quarter-owned by KBR, through its 55 per cent-controlled British joint venture, MW Kellogg.
KBR is a subsidiary of Halliburton. As we all know, current Vice President Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton during the mid-90s. notes that Cheney had to have been involved:
The most substantial political dimension of the case, so far, is thatit relates in part to the period between 1995 and 2000 when Halliburtonwas headed by Dick Cheney, incumbent US vice-president. Halliburtonbecame involved in the Nigerian consortium through its 1998 takeover ofDresser Industries, after the first gas plant building contract wassigned but before later project expansion deals were agreed.
How could Cheney not have been aware about what was going on? Lucky for us, he took his corrupt corporate ways to Washington in January of 2001, and we see what a father-like influence he has been on President Bush. ------------------------------------------------------------ Other sites blogging about this issue: , , , , .
The Bush and Cheney tax numbers for 2005 were released today. The Vice President made $1,961,157 this year. But , a chunk of his income was from Halliburton:
The wage and salary income reported on Cheney's tax return includedhis $205,031 government salary as well as $211,465 in deferred pay fromHalliburton, the Texas energy company Cheney once headed, which hasreceived billion-dollar government contracts in Iraq.
Thedeferred pay agreement dates back to December 1998 when Cheney decidedto defer compensation earned in 1999 over five years for his servicesas chief executive officer of Halliburton. He had received $194,852through this deal in 2004.
So this is what honest government is supposed to look like?
