Faith Based Presidency?
20 OctThis is frightening, but it’s not news to those of us who watch Bush and his followers.
”To me, I just believe God controls everything, and God uses the president to keep evil down, to see the darkness and protect this nation,” Billington told me, voicing an idea shared by millions of Bush supporters. ”Other people will not protect us. God gives people choices to make. God gave us this president to be the man to protect the nation at this time.”

Stop Sinclair from abusing the public trust and the airwaves
14 Oct“This week, Sinclair Broadcasting – the largest owner of local television stations in the U.S. – ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming to air an anti-Kerry documentary a few days before the election.
Their aim is clear: use the public’s airwaves to sway the election in favor of an administration that staunchly allows companies like Sinclair to get even bigger. Great for Sinclair’s bottom line – terrible for our democracy.
It’s not about liberal or conservative. It’s about corruption, the destruction of democratic discourse, and Big Media trying to skew elections. Together we must stop it.”

“A senior U.S. official described the approach as a final effort to get Tehran to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency or face punitive action at what could be a key board meeting of the U.N. watchdog agency in November.

“If broader international sanctions are called for, U.S. officials said the deal may circumvent the U.N. Security Council, where Russia and China have vetoes. Instead, sanctions could be imposed outside the security council structure by the United States, France, Britain, Germany and Japan. ”
And do we really want to go to war with a nation that is in the end steps of the process of developing nuclear weapons? Can you spell “Armageddon”?
So when you can’t get reasonable intelligence from the CIA …
12 OctYou turn to the Israeli news media. At least, so says VP Cheney, apparently.
Reuters: Cheney: Al Qaeda Probably to Blame for Taba Bombings
“An official traveling with the vice president said later on Tuesday that Cheney based his assessment largely on Israeli press reports that pointed to al Qaeda, rather than on new U.S. intelligence about the bombings. “
<sarcasm> Isn’t it nice to know that we now let the media provide our intelligence in the Middle East? And we all know how unbiased the Israeli press will be. </sarcasm>
