Just last week Bush vetoed $35 billion for sick children, but now he needs $46 billion more for the occupation in Iraq.
"The Iraq war is now costing $330 million a day. That could pay for 1700 more border patrol agents, or provide health-care for an extra 45,000 military veterans, or the funds from just one day in Iraq would give 270,000 more kids coverage under SCHIP."
On Wed the House will have another hearing on the long-term cost of the war. The last time the figure was $1 trillion and it's a no-brainer the new figure is going to be much higher.
Jack Cafferty: "I've got a quick question Wolf. Who approves the funding for the war?
Wolf Blitzer: The United States Congress
Jack Cafferty: Oh yeah. right. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and those Democrats who were elected to do something about the war. I forgot.
Also, surprise! (not) There's a new bin Laden tape out, this time urging al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgent groups to merge forces. His timing couldn't possibly have been any better coordinated to conveniently help boogieman Congress into getting Bush all the money he wants, could it?
John Amato: "Obey is talking tough, but until I see them do something about this---I will take it with a grain of salt."

Bin Laden shows up, just in time, AGAIN, to reinforce the administration's talking points, AGAIN. What are the odds?
Reid...Pelosi...why won't you listen?
Almost $14 MILLION per hour, 24 hours per day.
Don't let anybody ever tell you that we can't afford single-payer healthcare.
There are several possible scenarios about the tape:
1. Bin Laden works for the administration.
2. It is a phony Bin Laden.
3. Bin Laden realizes he has the ability to pull Bush's chain whenever he wishes and Bush will fall for it.
None of these scenarios do much for the macho image Bush wants to pretend.
Shocked I tell you... shocked! It's as if there's a direct line between the White House and
some guy splicing together old bin Laden footage and dubbing over itbin Laden himself!"I'm not Osama bin Laden, but I play him on TV"
Nothing short of a massive grass-roots effort to mount PRIMARY battles against incumbent invertibrate Democrats will end this abonination. And we ought not elect Hillary, because she is the very embodiment of spineless Democratic pandering and middle ground safety-seeking. Five years from now Bush and Cheney will be long forgotten and it will have become HER war. God forbid!
To end the abomination, we must become an OBAMA NATION! Or an Edwards-ocracy. ANYONE but spineless, macho wannabe Hillary!
Stick a fork in it! This country is DONE!! There is no accountability or leadership coming from anywhere or anybody. Soon it will be every man, woman, and child for himself!!
I agree with Sany. This country is done. Fucking sad too. Thanks a lot Democraps and Repugnants for putting yourself and your parties before what is good for this nation.
How convenient for bin Laden to show up. Right when people, like myself, are fuming over the SCHIP veto. No money for child healthcare, plenty of money for unnecessary war.
IMPEACH.
Gore/Kucinich/Obama/Anyone but Bush '08
The congress needs to grow a pair, and say no to King Bush. Saying no forces discussion of the validity of the war, and more than 70% of the country is against the president on this issue. This is one key issue where nobody will fault the congress if they tell the president to go screw himself because they won't capitulate to his requests and fear mongering.

"I'm not Osama bin Laden, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
Sorry, I'm waiting for Osama on DVD with special bonus
Fuck Bin Laden. He comes up with a new crappy tape every day and they all have the same shoddy plotting, shitty foleying, and the worst voice actors I've ever heard. Even the Paris Hilton tapes were better than that.
I am very upset to read all of your skeptical posts. You do not realize how serious the threat is- and to suggest that this is somehow fake suggests you are ignorant of the truth. Before ANY of you dare repeat that claim, you had better watch
this video and tell me for one minute why we shouldn't be absolutely terrified.
Apology accepted.
Bin Laden is dead and probably died bloody years ago. I wonder who the guy is that they keep getting to play him? De Niro? You could probably put a long beard and mo on Adrien Brody and he'd make a good Bin Laden. Of course, once he had played the part, he could never leave the "Psy Ops Studio"...
Maybe Bin Laden would like one of those lovely pony's you've got down there!
B. Mundt @ 15:
ROFLMAO! ! ! !
seriously, that was frickin perfect.
Osama Bin Laden releases more videos than Britney Spears. When is President Bush gonna kill this guy?
When is Congress going to remember WHY they were elected in 2006 - and listen to the people who put them into power to stand up to the Bush/Cheney war machine. The Bushies are going to draw money from every area they can to pay for the neo-con war (and let's hope that "war" stays singular).
B. Mundt @ 15:
lol! it's as good as any OBL vids I've seen...yes, he looks 'scary'.
B. Mundt @ 15:
With all due respect, the biggest threat to America (and the rest of the world for that matter) is sitting in the White House along with his puppet master.
Preznit Boosh has been playing us for SOOOOOOO long now I can't imagine anyone falling for this crap again....all except........congress....sigh..feckin LOSERS!
Another scream:
If this "war on terrorism" is an existential conflict, then WHY is Bush still so determined to slash taxes? If we are all in this together, if Bush is determined to take care of things now, so that our future generations won't have to, why is he saddling them with the bill?
That needs to be shouted out day and night until the war ends.
You can't question whether this is Real Osama™. If you doubt, you risk opening up a whole can of worms that Cannot Be Discussed Here.
So, suckas, you're stuck with Osama. You have to believe he's real and alive right now, just like Jesus.
xenon @ 22:
With most of the due respect, click the link in the post @15. You'll appreciate the time it takes to watch it.
B. Mundt @ 15:
I'm still laughing at that. I almost didn't even click on it as I thought it was going to be a link to one of Horowitz's islamofascist boogieman vids but figured before I laid into a troll linking to some crap like that I'd better check it out for at least a second or two first.
lol
B. Mundt @ 15:
OHHHH...hahahahahaha,hehehehehehehe,ohohohohohohoh....oh shit my side hurts....oh no stop it ,STOP IT..ahahahahaha,heheheheheh,ohohohohohohoh...OH SHIT......no no stop ....
be very, very afraid of our country
Think we could at least get SCHIP added as an amendment?
Boosh the douche says: "Checks and balances, you write the checks and I'll break the balances!"

hey didn't I see that guy in a Rick James video???
Vanna @ 25:
Just like Jesus, LOL!
I wrote my senator today and said "No more money for war."

I'll see your hysterical laughter and raise you "OMG!!!1!!!1!!! I wet myself!"... :lol: :lol: :lol:
kaT @ 34:
With few exceptions, they don't care.
Really.
and cafferty is right....you cant bitch about the funding....and then fund the war anyway
im sick of the dems
Uhhh where is the rest of what Jack said?
miss_kitty @ 36:
it certainly would appear that way.sad but true.
as lafin gas would say-
How many coincidences does it take before you realize they were not coincidences at all?
bilhelm-X @ 31:
please dont refer to the chimp as boosh
their was a great brit comedy show called the mighty boosh
Blue Buddha @ 5:
Yeah, these fucking tapes are FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. I'm so sick of people falling for this shit.
We need to get a few things straight here.
1. Bin laden has been dead since Dec of 2001:

2. The CIA created al CIAduh:
http://www.greenleft.org.au/2001/465/25199

3. 9/11 was a "new Pearl Harbor false flag" inside job by Cheney, Kristol, and the PNAC guys and the banking system:

Unless we impeach the head of the monster (Bush/Cheney) and get them to a world court for murder, terrorism, genocide, and more, we are dead as a nation and a free people. They run everything right now but not our hearts and ideas. We owe it to over one million Iraqi souls.
Looks like the United States will be indebted to China for at least the Chimp's grandchildren's lifetimes.
And to think, when he took office, Bush said "we won't pass on our problems to future administrations or future generations". As soon as he uttered those words, I knew he was going to raise the debt even more than Reagan ever thought of doing!
Everybody knows the neoconservatives evil game plan for the middle east, why does anybody still fall for this PNAC crap? When will the shameless corporate media stop lying to us in our faces?
Bush bin Laden is doing Al-Queda's bidding by bringing down America from the inside. Has anyone checked to see if perhaps BushCo is an Al-Queda sleeper cell? Bush's blood brother Osama couldn't be more pleased with BushCo's work. Thank's to BushCo our military is stretched thin, our citizens don't have money for their needs, our allies think we are the biggest threat to world peace, China holds our debt and therefore us under their thumb, and the terrorist are all over iraq getting that oil money to fund another attack against us.
Bin Laden could only bring down the twin towers but it took this Clown Chimp and his band of corrupt, lawless, criminal thugs to bring down America.
Wow..borrowing money from Mexico. That's funny.
So who's on the top ten list of the Greatest Country's in the World for this years trophy?
Hey top 20 is still not bad. Go America rah.
Wonder when someone is going to look into why bin Laden is still working for Shrub.
And how much Shrub knows about it.
cnn couldn't have made it any easier following the Bush's request for $46 bil more for his war story with the new OBL tape one. I almost think they did it that way on purpose just so it could be made into this post.
Its sweeps week for the 24%ers. A Pall bearers convention and a very, very, special Bin Laden episode you won't want to miss.
We get it but the dinosaurs in Congress do not.

i'm trapped in 1984, but goldstein has a long, black beard and a turban.
What happened to Homeland Security (Tom Ridge) and the constant changing of security level colors (ie. orange to red, etc.) that we saw during the 2004 Presidential election? It seems like they have gone away since we are not in the midst of voting season. Like the Bin Laden tapes, they always appear with strategic timing when the neocons need votes or funding! Lets quit being fooled!
Another one off the shelf from Dick Cheney's video collection. The bin Laden videos are kept at an undisclosed location somewhere between his massive collection of extreme S&M and animal crushing videos.

You obviously didn't get the program on the way into this pantomime, or didn't read it at any rate, the baddie doesn't kill the ghost of fear, the people do that ......
fuck
why can't bush get the bin ladens to fund the iraq war like he got them to fund arbusto.
I finally got it. bin Laden is a majority stockholder in Halliburton. How stupid of me not to see this before. Sheesh!
B. Mundt @ 15:
I'm not watching your tape and no apology is forthcoming. I can only take so many lies. If you want to wet your bed, go ahead.
This is a dem occupation too. They stick together when they screw up this bad.
Betrayus changed the mission again to go after the shiites in the south to warmonger Iran.
Iran is the new security issue in the election.
momofsonofwar @ 29:
This single phrase should be slapped on bumper stickers, plastered on billboards and splashed across newspapers. It should be cut into farmer's fields so as to be seen from the air . It should be worn on T-shirts and spelled out in the stands of football games. This one short sentence cuts through all the B.S. and summarizes the last six years succinctly . It also triggers a reaction in even the most clueless of citizen, making them ask the most important question "Why?"
Edwin @ 59:
I didn't realize it was comedy. Whatever.
B. Mundt @ 15:
Here is why we shouldn't be absolutely terrified. So do your "concern troll" routine somewhere else. It doesn't work here!
John @ 30:
NO! No money for children when there are innocent people left to kill.
B. Mundt @ 15:
I appologize. This guy is crazier than i first suspected.
Jack Cafferty: Oh yeah. right. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and those Democrats who were elected to do something about the war. I forgot.
Ow! Burn.
Edwin @ 59:
Oh, Edwin . . . click the link! For extra incentive, read through the thread first. ;)
Karen @ 67:
Heh, corrected yourself before I could click "Submit Comment," eh? Fine then. :)
iraqconcilable @ 61:
I think it would backfire nicely.
You would have the majority of the population being typical jingoistic warmongers shouting it at everyone on the world stage and at people in the homeland who didn't agree with them. There would be no introspective thinking there would just be flag waving with "kill and attack everyone" USA is the best ra ra ra, chanting, furious "patriotic" masturbation to Faux Noise, more of the same really.
I don't think anything short of a BJ or a violent revolution will sort it out at the moment.

THAT one left skidmarks! :-O

I vote for the blow job! Can i be the one that gets it this time?

3 strikes..he's out...or are we?
Since no one calls GW out and brands him with treason - ......WHY? it escapes me. Just the other day I played the Coulter vid where she laughed and said he wasn't important and wasn't he dead?
The suppression by this administration, Congress and Media is sinful.

Pffftttt (sound of coke spitting out of the nose).
Most excellent! Thanks!

I pay about as much attention to Osama bin "press releases" as I do new Britney Spears videos/news (which is none). I have a sneaking hunch they are used (and possibly created) by "our side" for propaganda ... NO? No other possibilty makes sense.
If he does in fact come out of some cave to try to scare the Bejeezuz out of me, guess what, the score is --->Edwin 1: Terra-iss 0. If you believe the vids, the terra-iss win (and any other ancillary conspiratorial organizations involved; like the W.H.?) ;)
Otay @ 66:
SNAP!
Off topic,[You're right. And I missed it and now it's spawned a bunch of other off topic comments. See why we don't like off topic posts? Take it to the open thread Sitemonitor]
who cares?
america voted for this war, and now deserves to pay whatever it costs. it's your own faults for not taking into consideration the true costs of war when it was still avoidable.

Wow if we had directed all that money at the war on drugs, we would have won it by now. And since everybody knows, per the administration, that the terrorists get their money from drugs, we would have won the war on terror as well!
DiggyG @ 80:
I never voted for this war. I was at the first demonstration against it in DC before it happened. Hell i was arrested twice at the White House before the first War in Iraq.
Speak for yourself, please.
Not another god damn dime. Funny how the "we're spending too much money, we can't have S-CHIP" Pajamas Medians always support more money for war
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/10/09/bush-admins-leak-of-osam_n_6772...
So here is how the Bush administration coincidented the timing of the last Bin laden Tape. So, even if they don't control when he makes the tape, it is an established fact that they do control the release of the tape.
Doesn't this kinda prove Starks point the other day? They don't have the money for the war either but they will get and spend it. That is exactly what just happened.
curtilingus @ 74:
You're reading too much into it. Inquiring about about the timing being convenient for bushco does not imply any "cooperative" anything. Note the question mark. lol
In any case, the idea that bushco may have some control over the timing of obl tape releases is a completely independent thing than the 9-11 truth movement.

the downside to democracy is that all citizens have to pay for the decisions of the majority, no matter how misguided. you didn't yourself vote for it, but as a responsible member of a democracy you have to treat this problem as your own.

War, apparently, is not the answer.
