Salon exclusive: Two former CIA officers say the president squelched top-secret intelligence, and a briefing by George Tenet, months before invading Iraq. By Sidney Blumenthal

Bye Bye G.

BuzzFlash.com provides a Hypocrite of the Week for us readers and I, like so many really appreciate the effort. This week, as so many before it, George W. Bush holds the title based on his recent speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, most of whom are now either Viet Nam Vets or Iraq War Vets, equating Viet Nam with Iraq - preaching to the choir, as they say.

Oh, you thought that there was such a thing as an oversight committee and that they had oversight...

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).

The US Military has been building permanent bases and a giant US embassy in Iraq preparing for a long term occupation.

Rumors only, but HALLELUJAH!

Cheney wanted to know if we could sell the war. Tenet said there was no evidence, but sure, why not?

In a suprising turn of events, Bush is going to try to veto the appropriation of funds for Iraq.

But the political hemorhaging on the republican side is gonna kill him and cheney on the steps of the senate. Harry Reid will play Brutus.

FBI Agents have been lying to subjects in order to obtain records in what both parties recognize is an abuse of their power.
