the talking dog

June 4, 2004, Fetch the stick! GOOD BOY!

Ayad Alawi (or, as I like to think of him, Ahmed Chalabi-LITE), the designated interim prime minister of the Iraqi... political entity... announced that U.S. and British troops should remain on Iraqi soil or... well, it would really suck if they left. Needless to say, this is an interesting day all around on the Iraq front. The U.S. made a deal with Baby Sadr's militias... again... to pull out of Najaf and Kufa. And the UN announced that the various war crimes being committed by American troops in Iraq are... war crimes (or "serious human rights violations" anyway). And most interestingly, while watching most of his office be hooked up to FBI lie detectors over just who gave Ahmed Chalabi-- a convicted criminal-- some of the most sensitive secrets our government had, Secretary Rumsfeld attempts to inoculate his continuing incompetence by announcing that Al Qaeda will be stepping up attacks in Iraq between now and fraudulent-sovereignty-transfer-day. What a day!

Loyal reader MAMayo sends along a wonderful quote from dog run member and famous pundit-blogger Josh Marshall:

"[B]eside the possibility that the White House's favored Iraqi exile was an Iranian agent, that the spy chief just got canned, that the OSD is wired to polygraphs, and that the president has had to retain outside counsel in the investigation into which members of his staff burned one of the country's own spies, I'd say the place is being run like a pretty well-oiled machine."

Well, Josh, given that both the Preznit AND Dick are both in the oil bidness (and, of course, STILL ARE), I would say the place has ALWAYS been run as a well-oiled (and doubtless well-greased) machine. Amazingly, even as the economy added another quarter million jobs in the last month and the financial markets showed some gains... everyone is too busy watching (and I suspect ENJOYING) the Bush Administation meltdown to pay any attention!

Oh, man... with all the candy and popcorn I'm downing watching this show, I hope I don't hurt my marathon training...

I am in a moral quandry.
My friend searches for http://cheating.any1in.us/asset-search.html asset search on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://detectives.any1in.us/peoplefinders.html peoplefinders and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://detectives.any1in.us/detective.html detective were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://cheating.any1in.us/investigation.html investigation ?
