Last night as I listened to my President speak I couldn't help but feel sorry for the man. He has a job that he no longer wants. When I was growing up President of the United States (POTUS) seemed like a pretty cool job. Nothing close to playing baseball for a living but pretty cool just the same. But looking at Dubya last night he looked like a deer in the headlights and a person who was someplace he no longer wanted to be. The one sinister thing about the whole speech was the only time he seemed to be enjoying himself is when he spoke of all the people he has killed. It is mind boggling how all the justifications for this war have changed. We went from Iraq posing an imminent threat to the American people to exporting Democracy to the Middle East. We went from Iraq being no terrorist threat to now being the "central front" in the war on terror.

Juan Cole , has the best breakdowm of the speech last night.

Reading this, Abandon All Hope, will not make you feel much better.

When most of our brethren believe false truths how do the rest of us change those beliefs? William Rivers Pitt has something to say about that in his editorial today, I Believe, one person at a time.

I know I harp on the 9/11 lies quite a bit. To show you my frustration look at this page from Take Back The Media. If you want to know why other countries laugh at us it is because "BIG" stories like this make headlines all over the world and they don't even make page A17 here.
