I bet Cheney is ready to "last-throe-up." Maybe he, Bush and Rove will be greeted as "Libbyrators." - Grant "Brad" Gerver, www.seriouskidding.com

Troop Surge Increase
The number of U.S. troops needed to carry out President George W. Bush's Iraq security plan could approach 30,000, significantly more than he projected in January, a senior Pentagon official said on Tuesday.
"Don't talk to the press," this is what they told the soldiers. So, these guys who are fighting for freedom and the American way are told, "Shut up." If you come home dead, we can't photograph your coffin, and if you come home alive, "Shut up." Well, that does sound like China. – Bill Maher

Bush pulls top security agent from Chile fracas

agents closed ranks at the door, blocking the president’s agents from following.
Stopping for more pictures, Bush noticed the fracas and turned back.
"Libby had
three formal titles. He was chief of staff to Vice President Cheney; he was also
national security advisor to the vice president; and he was finally an assistant
to President Bush. It was a trifecta of positions probably never before held by
a single person. Scooter was a power center unto himself, and accordingly, a
force multiplier for Cheney's agenda and views."
