[Exit Stage Left] Nazi-ism and the loss of the real Today has been ...: The comments by Rove were deliberately meant to strengthen the divide, to turn even more away from following their actions out of pure disgust at the political process, and to rile the troops who willingly believe that 47% of this nation is out to destroy it. Actions that are more apt to be described as from a Nationalist Socialist perspective instead of a conservative perspective in 1930’s Weimar Republic and today.
[American Leftist] Kristol Again, The Land of Crickets, and a Lightbulb Lights Above My Head: On Monday July 21st of 2003 the Washington Post ran a lengthy story, "A Lone Woman Testifies To Iraq's Order of Terror", documenting the torture and rape of an Iraqi Assyrian Christian at the hands of Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The woman, Jumana Michael Hanna, told the Post she had been arrested for marrying an Indian man, had been bound to a bed and repeatedly raped for days, had been electrocuted on the genitals, had been beaten incessantly, had had cigarettes extinguished on her leg by laughing guards, had had dogs sicced on her in a small room, that her husband had been executed by a bullet to the head and that his body had been handed to her through a slot "like a piece of butcher's meat."
[two fish] Baghdad Year Zero: Naomi Klein: This was the true threat to the Year Zero plan: since America didn’t own Iraq’s assets, it could not legally sell them, which meant that after the occupation ended, an Iraqi government could come to power and decide that it wanted to keep the state companies in public hands, or, as is the norm in the Gulf region, to bar foreign firms from owning 100 percent of national assets. If that happened, investments made under Bremer’s rules could be expropriated, leaving firms with no recourse because their investments had violated international law from the outset.
[Weblogs.mozillazine.org] Chris Nelson's Weblog: March 2004 Archives: I also like the dodge where Bush claims the reason there's a $500 billion deficit is because, "We're at war." Unfortunately, the cost of Iraq is not even included in the budget: It's going to be a supplemental surprise request after the election. Does any of this strike you as grown-up behavior?
[Hannah.smith-family.com] Hannah's Blog: Iraq in a Nutshell: This was the true threat to the Year Zero plan: since America didn?t own Iraq?s assets, it could not legally sell them, which meant that after the occupation ended, an Iraqi government could come to power and decide that it wanted to keep the state companies in public hands, or, as is the norm in the Gulf region, to bar foreign firms from owning 100 percent of national assets.

[Needlenose.com] Needlenose | We Needle. You Decide.: Three years after losing focus on the real enemy and leading us into a mismanaged war in Iraq, the president has given up looking for ways to win and is now just looking for someone to blame.Then I'd start talking about how to redefine our mission in Iraq to deal with our recruiting crisis, so people can see which party wants to solve problems while the other one simply points fingers.
[Corrente.blogspot.com] corrente / Leah, Lambert, Tresy, the farmer, Tom, Xan, RDF, and ...: Dot one: Rove, ripping a page from the winger playbook in '30s Germany, is setting the Democrats up for the ol' stab in the back theory: "The Democrats stabbed the Army in the back!" [That's the translation of "...certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals." Yep, it's the liberals who sent the troops to Iraq without body armor, yessir.]
