BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

Ever wonder where your taxpayer money is going in Iraq and why Bush and McCain et al. can claim the “surge” is working? “The real purpose of the "surge" was to hide another deception. The Bush regime is paying Sunni insurgents $800,000 a day not to attack U.S. forces. That's right, 80,000 members of an "Awakening group," the "Sons of Iraq," a newly formed "U.S.-allied security force" consisting of Sunni insurgents, are being paid $10 a day each not to attack U.S. troops.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m more than grateful they aren’t attacking U.S. forces, but I can’t help but wonder how long can this last? How long can we the American people pay the premiums and when will Bush decide we really do have to bring our troops home? Does he intend to continue these payments until it’s time for him to leave office? Would McCain continue to pay them if God-forbid he’s elected? Either way, it’s more than we and the generations to come can afford to pay, when the real solution to this whole mess is to just bring the troops home!!!! P.S. Michael Ware, CNN Iraq war correspondent, mentioned someone going around with a “back-pack” full of money in Iraq, just handing the money out to the insurgents on television last night, a comment CNN conveniently left out of the transcripts for yesterday! It would be safe to assume mainstream corporate media also helps Bush hide his deceptions!

So, the people of America can forgettabout any assistance from their government if indeed John McCain were to become president! What he billed as “straight talk” was nothing more than opting out: “MCCAIN: I've always been committed to the principle that it's not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they're big banks or small borrowers.” Obviously McCain would rather spend our tax-payer monies on an endless illegal preemptive unnecessary war than he would to help the people of America.

When will people realize that the Repuglicans, aided and abetted by mainstream corporate media, are lauding Hillary Clinton because they believe she will be easier to beat come November! Why do you think Rush Limbaugh was telling his listeners to go out and vote for Hillary in the Primaries -- it sure as hell wasn’t because they want her for the next President of the United States of America!

“BILL BENNETT: … it just shows this thing is getting intense and ugly.” And the Repuglicans are basking in all the sniping and negativity goings on, they are enjoying every “ugly” minute of this whole mess called the Democrats' Presidential Primary Campaign! They honestly believe they are watching the Democrats “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory”!

Unfortunately loyalty obviously stops at the campaign door for the Clintons: “he would not have been my pastor,” but when the Clintons needed Reverend Jeremiah Wright, did he reject and abandon them? Noooo, he came to their aid and comfort! He stood by them when others did not! “BRAZILE: … But it's where you stand in moments of trial and tribulation. And Jeremiah Wright and many other black preachers stood with the Clintons during their darkest hours in the White House. And so, perhaps this is a more prayerful moment, a prayerful reflection that she should give, and not try to add more to the -- (CROSSTALK).” Note here, it says the Clintons, that’s a plural and means both Hillary and Bill!

* * *

“CLINTON: You know, I made a mistake in describing it.” No matter what, if I landed in a war zone and had to run for a vehicle to get away because sniper bullets were being fired all around, that is something that would vividly stand out in my memory forever! There would be no mistaking an “experience” like that one! It’s too bad Hillary Clinton finds the need to embellish her credentials because that only leads to wondering what else is she making up in an attempt to prove she’s qualified.
