Thanks for freeing Iraq, GW; now good old fashioned gangster-ism rules that country:

It's not Al Qaeda who fuels the violence in Iraq, it's good old fashioned gangster-ism. Today's New York Times reports on the rampant corruption and the black market in oil. Remember, our administration promised that oil would pay for the war and the reconstruction of Iraq. That hasn't happened. American's will have paid well over $2 trillion dollars for this war so that gangsters can rake in billions of dollars while U. S. citizens go further and further into debt.

This Day in History:

Today is the 40th anniversary of the My Lai Massacre, when troops under the command of Lt. William L. Calley, Jr., murdered dozens of Vietnamese villagers. The questions of who was responsible and whether the massacre was a unique phenomena or routine behavior on the part of U. S. combat troops have never been resolved.

Has GW completely lost his mind? Maureen Dowd seems to think so:

Dowd waxes on Bush's recent wacko behavior, including the tap dancing while waiting for McCain episode.

The Great Man's proclamation on fixing Social Security on this day in 2005: "I repeat: personal accounts do not permanently fix the solution." — Washington, D. C., March 16, 2005, at a press conference discussing Social Security. Just imagine, Bush wanted to close down Social Security and have us put all our money into the stock market; have you noticed the stock market lately?
