Simply Appalling has Galloway's testimony:
"[Note: While many copies of Mr. Galloway's opening statement are available on the Web, this is the only complete transcript of which I am aware. Unfortunately, the United States Senate has declined to make the transcript of Mr. Galloway's testimony available. Several readers have asked the source of the transcription. Aside from the opening statement, this transcription was done the hard way--by listening repeatedly to Norm Coleman mumble.]"
...
"I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction.
"I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda.
"I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001.
"I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning.
"Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies."
Good for you Mr. Galloway!
Shame on you, Mr. Coleman!

Why tell W?
from the Louisville Courier-Journal
"When a small private plane entered restricted Washington airspace Wednesday, the ensuing evacuations at the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court were no drill."
. . .
"The President, who was exercising on his mountain bike in a Maryland wildlife park, was not briefed until well after the crisis had passed.
"Mr. Bush was not told of the incident until more than 50 minutes after two F-16 jets were scrambled to meet the intruder. He got the news more than 45 minutes after the evacuations began and the alert status was raised to red. In fact, he was clueless until after the small plane had landed."
. . .
"That is unacceptable. The President is in charge of the nation's security. If authorities believe the capital may be under attack, he must be told."

Does anyone really need evidence that Bush is losing the war?
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Anti-US protests spread to Kabul
According to the BBC, college students "chanted "Death to America!" and carried banners stating "Those who insult the Koran should be brought to justice.""
Lest you think that college students are necessarily out of touch with the population, "Similar protests took place in other parts of the country. In the town of Mohammed Agha, 40 kms south of Kabul, protesters ransacked government offices and the compounds of two Western aid agencies. A mobile phone mast was toppled.
"The BBC's Andrew North in Kabul says that the authorities are concerned that the demonstrations are being orchestrated.
"Our correspondent says that what may be significant is that so far all they have all happened in the east or south.
"This is where US forces are concentrated in their battle against the Taleban and other militants."
Way to win those hearts and minds, W! :-(

David Horowitz never stopped thinking like a Communist!
David Horowitz’s War on Rational Discourse
By Graham Larkin
" . . . L.A. tabloid editor David Horowitz, liar extraordinaire and author of the incomparable bullshitting manual The Art of Political War and Other Radical Pursuits (Spence Publishing, 2000). This book, much applauded by Karl Rove, promulgates a political endgame in which brute force triumphs over any notions of intelligence, truth or fair play. The author contends that “[y]ou cannot cripple an opponent by outwitting him in a political debate. You can only do it by following Lenin’s injunction: ‘In political conflicts, the goal is not to refute your opponent’s argument, but to wipe him from the face of the earth.’”

"The Sunday Times of London cites European intelligence experts as saying that Libbi "was not the terrorists' third in command, as claimed, but a middle-ranker derided by one source as 'among the flotsam and jetsam' of the organisation.""
How many number 3's have been caught by now?

Col. David. H. Hackworth, 1930-2005
Soldiers for the Truth:
"Washington, D.C., May 5, 2005 – Col. David H. Hackworth, the United States Army's legendary, highly decorated guerrilla fighter and lifelong champion of the doughboy and dogface, ground-pounder and grunt, died Wednesday in Mexico. He was 74 years old. The cause of death was a form of cancer now appearing with increasing frequency among Vietnam veterans exposed to the defoliants called Agents Orange and Blue."
