Bush: "Hear the words of bin Laden, 'This Third World War is raging' in Iraq...."
This is not Iraq - cancel your summer plans to go visit a post-Syrian pullout Beirut.
While I've been killing you with Clipse, Pharrell and Timbaland-related mp3's all week, there's been some news of real consequence going down.
Israel-Lebanon: holy smokes - have we in fact entered the beginning of World War III? What happened to the Bush argument that regime change in Iraq would help spread democacy throughout the Middle East?! This is his version of diplomacy??! F-cking scary.
You already know about the newest war crime atrocities being committed by US soldiers in Iraq that surfaced recently, right? Hearts and minds, sweets and flowers etc., etc.
I scoffed when my man told me he thought Ken Lay had been killed by the government but then I read this and I wasn't so sure it wasn't true any more. (related: more details on the f-ckery)
Ken Lay-related WTF? news from the Houston Chronicle: At his memorial, convicted CEO felon Ken Lay was compared to John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus. (spotted via Skimble)
$11 Million Every Hour - that's "What the Iraq War is Costing Us" according to Rep. John P. Murtha. What percentage of that went to Halliburton before they (were) cashed out?
"Why are US blogs ignoring Mumbai?", ask South Asian bloggers.
And other (just as important) stuff: Valerie Plames sues Cheney, Libby, Rove et. al / Geneva Convention protections for the Gitmo detainees are finally upheld / North Korea demonstrate their real WMD's.
