Quoted: The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq’s descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy - the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military - largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.

Bum! BUM! BUUUMMMMMMM!!!
From last night's Larry King Live interview with Dick Cheney. With these magicless muggles, an "I don't know" is as good as a confession.

This is the July 25th testimony of Alberto Gonzales to the Senate, as presented by the Talking Points Memo Muckraker. It narrows it down to a few extended Q & A exchanges and a number of point-blank evasions. Also, FYI, Veracifier is the video outlet of the TPMMuckraker site that I've dotted half a dozen times by now.

Is GONZALES incompetent, an amnesiac, ignorant, a maniacal and cynical zealot, or just a mere idiot? Find out what the experts think in this Washington Post front page article of July 30th, 2007.
Quoted: When Alberto R. Gonzales was asked during his January 2005 confirmation hearing whether the Bush administration would ever allow wiretapping of U.S. citizens without warrants, he initially dismissed the query as a "hypothetical situation."

Heckuva job Brownie, heckuva job. A fine example of Palin's much touted "executive experience". More "screw the experts I'll trust my gut and hire my buddies" irresponsibility is just what this country needs.
Where is the outrage from fiscal conservatives? I guess they're all sitting on their hands unless RP gets on the ballot?
