re: They're loving it......its the first time in months the Bushies have moved up in the polls.

Can't win with the truth; they'll try to win with lies.


I had the unfortunate bad luck to watch the unfair and unbalanced news program for a few minutes yesterday. Now in the past two days, I have seen several different media outlets and papers talk about the Athens protests. In those reports, the crowd was described as "unruly, violent, antagonistic, demonstrative, etc". Only Fox described it as a "crowd made up of socialists and communists" and that the Greek gov't needed to do something about "these" people.

They are like a throwback to another era......when candles lit up the dark and horses got you to work. Scary!

Henry Kissinger gave Argentina's military junta the green light to suppress political opposition at the start of the "dirty war" in 1976, telling the country's foreign minister: "If there are things that have to be done, you should do them quickly," according to newly-declassified documents published yesterday.
State department documents show the former secretary of state urged Argentina to crush the opposition just months after it seized power and before the US Congress convened to consider sanctions.

"We won't cause you unnecessary difficulties. If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better," Mr Kissinger told Admiral Cesar Augusto Guzzetti, the foreign minister, according to the State Department's transcript.
