Barret discusses several ways that Pres George W. Bush disappointed New York. These include his shortchanging on the edges of the minimal pledge he made to the city whose economy took an $80 billion hit and the school and housing cuts that are part of a fabric of fiscal warfare against the city.
A plea deal in the works for a Greece man accused of threatening to kill former President George W. Bush may be in jeopardy. Ian Rotunno, 24, on Tuesday told U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson that he wants a new attorney. Judge Payson told Rotunno to first talk with Assistant Federal Public Defender Mark D. Hosken, who has been representing Rotunno, and if he still felt the same way, to write her a letter with his request.
[Bush] continued to manufacture his own intelligence. He said, for instance, that the US-manufactured Iraqi army comprises 120 army and police battalions and 80 others already in combat alongside US and other Coalition forces in Iraq. "These figures are hotly contested by critics and challenged even by many U.S. commanders who say only a handful of Iraqi units are able to fight on their own," wrote Rupert Cornwell in the Independent. More lies, more wishful thinking and more substandard or outright fabricated facts.. For what price and to what end? "If we pull our troops out of Iraq now, the terrorists will receive a moral boost. The country will fall into civil war. A chaotic Iraq is a threat to US national security" are now the new tunes sung in Washington, and also hymned by pro-war ...

Osama bin Laden's death Sunday in a million-dollar mansion in Pakistan at the hands of U.S. special operations forces punctured the mythology of a revolutionary leader sacrificing creature comforts for the good of jihad, American officials said Monday as the world digested the demise of its most notorious terrorist leader. President Obama said bin Laden's death was "a good day for America," and his top counterterrorism adviser said the U.S. will seek to exploit intelligence found in the compound to try to roll up the rest of the al Qaeda terrorist network, which has affiliates in Pakistan, Yemen and North Africa.
