stakes in his five-day-old crackdown on ****'ite militants on Saturday,

Iraqi initiative.

Bush gives out wrong hotline number — again
Saturday, 29 March 2008 11:03
After a housing roundtable in New Jersey, Bush twice gave out the wrong
number in a public statement, saying the relief line was 1-88-995-HOPE –
leaving off the third 8 in the area code of the correct number:
1-888-995-HOPE.
Bush had trouble with the same number in December when it was first
unveiled. Then the president incorrectly said the number was
1-800-995-HOPE.
TVNL Comment: It is wonderful having a blithering idiot pose as
president for 8 years! How much damage has this man done to the image of
our nation?

The American-led research is being published in the journal BMC

and environmental triggers.

Bush Is "Biggest Thug" Ever To Occupy White House, Historian Parenti Says
Saturday, 29 March 2008 09:50
“He has been a total thug in overthrowing a democratic government in
Haiti and sup****ting the death squads and murderers there, and in
pursuing a war of aggression in Iraq,” Parenti writes.“
He (Bush) unilaterally has announced that the U.S. will be held to none
of the international treaties that it has signed, that no strictures of
international law will inhibit foreign policy, and that the U.S.
reserves the right to act as it will on its own accord, according to its
own interests, and the limitations of its own power,” Parenti points out.“
The U.S. will,” he goes on to say, “of itself, decide unilaterally what
countries it will attack, when, and for what reasons,” a policy he adds
that has “caused such an alarm throughout the world that people have
demonstrated massively…”
Parenti said the Iraqi war has given President Bush “the op****tunity to
clamp down on dissent at home, to intimidate, and to ac***ulate more
power.”

5 ex-secretaries of state: Close Guantanamo, open Iran dialogue
Saturday, 29 March 2008 09:40
"It says to the world: 'We are now going back to our traditional
respective forms of dealing with people who potentially committed
crimes,' " said Colin Powell, who served as President Bush's first
secretary of state.
Powell was joined by Henry Kissinger, James Baker III, Warren
Christopher and Madeleine Albright, who sat in a round-table discussion
sponsored by the University of Georgia at a sold-out conference center
in downtown Athens.
Some of the strongest words were reserved for the trade embargo against
Cuba.
"The 50-year-old embargo has not worked, not worked to our benefit or
their benefit. This is one of those issues that is driven more by
politics than foreign policy," said Christopher.
"When policies don't work for 50 years," he said, "It's time to start
thinking about something else."
