Report Details Saudi Links
Hartford Courant, CT -8-2-03
By Josh Meyer, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON -- The 27 classified pages of a congressional report about
Sept. 11 depict a Saudi government that not only provided significant money
and aid to the suicide hijackers but also allowed potentially hundreds of
millions of dollars to flow to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups through
suspect charities and other fronts, according to sources familiar with the
document....

By Ruben Navarrette Dallas Morning News

DALLAS -- It is often said that the Bush
administration obsesses over secrecy, distrusts the press and takes lightly
the American public's right to know.
Now where would anyone get that idea? ...

Gee, what a
surprise! The Saudi Ruling Family are close friends with the Bush Ruling
Family -- and this is how the Saudis treat their friends? Or is this just
another bad judgment call by a Bush? Like Noriega? Like Iran-Contra? How
many more troops must die in the name of Bush Bad Judgments?

 Bush
called 'President Shrub' in government memo
By GRAEME SMITH Globe and Mail - Canada
Winnipeg — Saskatchewan's government has tried everything to get the U.S.
border opened to its beef: pleading, cajoling and even threatening a ban on
foreign beef....Americans might not have a great sense of humour after a
recent series of insults from prominent Canadians.
Françoise Ducros, a former aide to the Prime Minister, made international
headlines by calling Mr. Bush a "moron." Natural Resources Minister Herb
Dhaliwal called Mr. Bush a failed statesman. MP Carolyn Parrish was quoted
as saying: "Damn Americans, I hate those bastards."...
The only North Americans left that like this
administration is the Unrighteous Right. Mission Accomplished.

Saddam's Sons Buried;
US Soldier Killed
Guardian, UK - 8-2-03
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Leaders of Saddam Hussein's tribe buried the ousted
dictator's elder sons, Odai and Qusai, and a grandson Saturday, their bodies
wrapped in Iraqi flags in a sign the family considered them to be martyrs.
Also Saturday, the military said a U.S. soldier was killed and three were
wounded in a rocket-propelled grenade attack on their convoy east of Baghdad on
Friday.
The Arab satellite television broadcaster Al-Jazeera reported that another U.S.
soldier also died Saturday morning in an attack north of the capital, but the
military had no details on the incident.
How many more of
our troops will die in the name of Bush?

Tax cuts, not war, send deficit soaring
Florida Today, FL - 8-2-03
The report Thursday that the nation's economy grew at the fastest pace in
nearly a year might indicate it's recovering from a two-year slump. But
even if the future bears that out, there's a gorilla in the living room.
The Amazing Disappearing Tax Revenue
Washington Post - Jul 25, 2003
The exploding federal budget deficit has triggered fierce
recriminations among politicians over who is to blame, but in Washington's
less-partisan budget circles, the White House's projected $455 billion
deficit for 2003 has underscored a growing mystery: Where has all the tax
revenue gone?
"No one knows," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the director of the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. "Not answering the question is
just admitting our ignorance."

"You know, let me let me talk about
al Qaeda just for a second. I -- I made the statement that we're
dismantling senior management, and we are. Our people have done a really good
job of hauling in
a lot of the key operators: Khalid Sheik Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi ahh --
Ramzi al Shibh,
or whatever the guy's name was."

He really is too stupid to be president.

Politics takes a break
Straits Times, Singapore - 8-2-03
LONDON - Having waged war together,
it was only to be expected that the American and British leaders should take
a break and go on vacation at the same time.
US presidents like to be seen undertaking some vigorous activity while on
vacation. -- REUTERS
In what appeared as an almost synchronised double-act, President George W.
Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair held their last press conferences this
week, repeated the same tired explanations for the still-absent Iraqi
weapons of mass destruction, then cheerfully departed for their summer
holidays...
