from allgov: While President Barack Obama prepares to announce his decision regarding a troop increase for Afghanistan, Senate Democrats have released a report that argues that the Bush administration failed to capture Osama bin Laden when it had the chance in late 2001. The report (Tora Bora Revisited: How We Failed To Get Bin Laden and Why It Matters Today [3.1mb PDF]) pins the blame on former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the top U.S. commander at the time, General Tommy Franks, for not sending enough troops into the Tora Bora region where bin Laden was hiding and from which he eventually escaped into Pakistan. The failure to grab al Qaeda’s leader allowed him “to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide,” reads the report from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
from raw replay: Rep. Ron Paul told CNN’s D.L. Hughley that Rush Limbaugh “certainly doesn’t represent me.” Hughley and Paul found agreement on other matters. Neither Paul or Hughley supported bailouts for General Motors and the banks. “The amazing thing is you almost - you don’t seem like a Republican to me that I have ever heard. You seem so reasonable. No, honestly, you really do. You seem to make sense, which I don’t attribute to very many politicians,” said Hughley. CNN has the full transcript here. This video is from CNN’s D.L Hughley Breaks the News, broadcast Mar. 8, 2009.
from thinkprogress: Conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh marks twenty years on the air today. During his show this afternoon, Limbaugh received a call from the President George W. Bush, former President George H. W. Bush, and former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush. The Bush family congratulated their “pal” Limbaugh on his “twenty years of important and excellent broadcasting.” Later in their conversation, former President Bush - apparently not realizing he was on the air - asked about “our man [Roger] Ailes,” the president of Fox News:
H. W. BUSH: Do you see our man Ailes at all?
LIMBAUGH: Oh, yeah. I saw Roger at Tony Snow’s funeral… And a couple of times earlier this summer.
H. W. BUSH: Are we on the radio, are we? […] I didn’t know that. I’ll clean up my act here. I’m glad they told me.
obama pushes bill that would mandate global tax from paul joseph watson: Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama is pushing a bill that will lead to the implementation of a UN global tax, costing the U.S. at least $845 billion dollars over thirteen years in the name of fighting worldwide poverty, as well as banning "small arms and light weapons". The "Global Poverty Act," which is sponsored by Obama, is up for a Senate vote today, and if passed would mandate the U.S. to spend 0.7 percent of the gross national product on foreign aid, on top of the money being sent out of the country already.
the two faces of barack obama from global research: Appearing before a packed auditorium... Barack Obama delivered a speech that was notable for its populist demagogy, not only on the war in Iraq but also social conditions in America... But this populist primary rhetoric is only one face of Obama. There is another, and it is turned firmly towards the very corporate interests he publicly criticizes, which have poured tens of millions of dollars into his campaign.
key clinton backer guilty in sibel edmonds case from marc parent: Earlier this week, the New York Post ran a Page 6 piece, ODD FILM BY HILLARY BACKER, which highlights the close relationship between Hillary Clinton and Chicago-based Turkish businessman Mehmet Celebi. Celebi, "one of the national leaders of the Turkish-American community in the US," is a key fundraiser for Clinton, and is one of Clinton's Chicago delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Celebi was also heavily involved in the controversial 2006 movie "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq" which has been widely regarded as "anti-Semitic, anti-American, conspiratorial agitprop." Mehmet Celebi is also a key figure in the Sibel Edmonds case - he is heavily involved in the narcotics trade in the US and the corruption and bribery of high-level US officials.
mccain votes against waterboarding ban (hillary & obama conveniently skip the vote altogether) from thinkprogess: Today, the Senate brought the Intelligence Authorization Bill to the floor, which contained a provision from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) establishing one interrogation standard across the government... John McCain (R-AZ), a former prisoner of war, has spoken strongly in favor of implementing the Army Field Manual standard. When confronted today with the decision of whether to stick with his conscience or cave to the right wing, McCain chose to ditch his principles and insteadvote to preserve waterboarding.
john mccain votes to allow waterboarding from raw replay: Keith Olbermann calls the Senator from Arizona John McCain on his vote to allow the C.I.A. to use waterboarding. The following video is from MSNBC’s COUNTDOWN with Keith Olbermann, broadcast on February 14, 2008.
limbaugh defends clinton & obama on iraq from nysun: Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is so exasperated about Senator McCain's surge in the Republican presidential contest that he is coming to the defense of Senators Clinton and Obama... "They are not going to surrender the country to Islamic radicalism or the war in Iraq," Mr. Limbaugh said after mentioning the two Democratic senators by name. "They are not going to do that to themselves, despite what their base says."
